Monks Ballyvaughan in Ballyvaughan

Having stayed in a range of dog friendly accommodation across Ireland, I have to say this has been one of our very best experiences. The relaxed, 'home from home' atmosphere, fabulous setting and genuinely welcoming staff made for a truly memorable break. Looking forward to our return trip already ! (Paddy sends his best regards!🐾🐾 )

I have to say that today, I had the best fish and chips ever. What was great is that the plate was presented well with a decent colorful side salad, dressing and seeds. Not like some other places that have boring mushy peas and a few leaves of salad without any taste. What also stands out is that it wasn't the typical oily beer battered fish but had a nice crispy texture finding the balance. Chip portion was just right and on the point, thick chips with a good golden texture. Our table also had the fish pie and again top quality, great portion size with good fish mix and salad. This was properly baked and some other places serve it like a soup that is watery and no taste. Here it was how you'd expect a fish pie. Top marks to the chef today.

Great food. Have been coming here for years

Very good food, delicious soup of the day and very good Irish stew

An incredible spot to stop in for lunch. Fresh seafood and great, quick service. Beautiful views from the restaurant. During peak months be sure to call ahead - we dined in mid-October late in the afternoon and had no issues getting a table. Highly recommend the seafood chowder (an absolute MUST)!

Service wasn't always smooth ;o) Perhaps due to staff shortages. The food was delicious.

Sweet repose by the sea. Friendly, welcoming staff. Clean, lovely, comfortable rooms. Hot, delicious food. Would definitely recommend and surely would return.

More restaurant than pub with seafood centric menu. We stopped for a late lunch on a wet and windy Saturday in October - ordered dishes (oysters, chowder, clams) had v. good quality ingredients and competent cooking (with the exception of a rather stronge garnish of garlic for the clams). Prices feel a bit high for the quality of the food, but overall a decent place to stop on the coast.

Piatti stupendi. Fish and chips, fish pie, birre. Esperienza fantastica in posto panoramico. Paesino tranquillo e accogliente.

Wir hatten im Voraus schon reserviert, da dies uns empfohlen worden ist. Das Restaurant war gut besucht und wir wurden freundlich empfangen. Die Speisekarte ist gut übersichtlich und hatte auch regionale Speisen. Das Personal ist hilfreich und zuvorkommend.
