The best food ever. My favourite are seafood tagliatelle or fish pie. Visiting several times. Will be back soon. 😊

Came here for a special occasion dinner. Everybody ordered something different and every single dish was cooked perfectly. Fish and chips are worth a destination, the linguine was top notch, and the shrimp Curry was perfect. Top it off with the best apple crumble we've ever eaten and this was definitely a meal to remember.
Service was excellent and prices were reasonable, considering it's a fine dining establishment in a premier location. 10/10 would recommend

Great address of a restaurant, chowder was great and on a rainy day it had a very cozy atmosphere to it.

Absolutely top class.
We visited Ballyvaughan this weekend as a large kayaking group with friends and family and ate both nights in Monks.
The staff were lovely and very engaging, happy to make recommendations on the food and chat even though it was busy.
The portions are very generous and the food quality is fantastic.
There is probably only one place in Ireland where the fish, on the fish burger is actually bigger than the buns. Monks!
The fish and chips was lovely on the first night and the fish pie I had the second night was out of this world. (Do yourself a favour and squeeze the lemon over the top)
As a fussy Guinness drinker I don't often trust Guinness outside of a few select pubs. The Guinness in Monk's is absolutely fantastic. Cold and creamy.
We were staying in a cottage beside it, but can only imagine staying here would be as top class as the staff, service and food.
very child friendly too.

We went for dinner, the food is very good but honestly the price is higher than the quality-to-quantity ratio. I imagine you're paying for the location and the views. The fish burger, given the description and price, is expected to be more spectacular, but it's very good, as is the fish and chips. The staff is very friendly and the place is beautiful.
