The best restaurants

05/09/2025: A very good pub in the area with excellent staff, it has a back area with huge wooden benches, very good pints, in short, an authentic traditional Irish pub, and now with the students returning there will be many lively nights.

04/08/2025: A very cozy bar with good music and a relaxed atmosphere. It's nice to finally find a place where vaping is prohibited. I wonder when they realize it's the same as smoking. Thank you for providing a smoke-free space.

20/12/2024: Did Christmas market great people big covered space for use by patrons for family or corporate events. Community support is great and live music always a big bonus. The Owner and staff are so welcoming could not do enough for people and great atmosphere at end night when you fancy a night out in comfort with your friends..enjoy..

08/12/2024: Price of the black stuff was a very reasonable €5. Great atmosphere. Would visit again.

03/11/2025: Nice being able to sit by the water. Coffee is fine.

10/10/2025: It's a good place for the summer. The coffee and food are excellent.

17/11/2025: Perfect little spot for breakfast. High quality food and pleasant service.

12/09/2025: Great food with a good choice, welcoming atmosphere, and really friendly staff. A lovely place to relax and enjoy breakfast – would definitely recommend.

09/08/2024: We went as a family of 12..From 2 y old ( they have high chairs) to 65 y old. The setting overlooking the double links course with floor to ceiling windows was stunning. The service was first class. We ordered 6 different meals and every plate was emptied! VERY reasonably priced it it suitable for locals/golfers and passing tourists! I had worse Michelin star meals in London basements! Drop of at the front door.. lift.. and stunning balcony for a smoke! Please support it!

10/06/2025: Restaurant idéalement situé au bord de l’océan. Nous avions réservé notre table à l’avance, heureusement car il y avait beaucoup de monde. Le personnel était efficace et sympathique et la nourriture délicieuse. Très bonne adresse.

09/06/2025: Our introduction to monks was, if we wanted to eat on the deck we would have to come inside to order and bring our own food and drinks out. We were home from Canada and it had been a number of years since I had been to Monks. The service was rude and abrupt. The Guinness was great. The crab claw starter was excellent. My sister had asked for a salad dressing on the side and was told if it was made then no she couldn’t. The triple fried frozen chips with my not fresh catch of the day was very disappointing as was having to wait and wait for the server to come back to pay.

19/08/2025: All young teenage girls serving something wrong there

19/07/2025: Very friendly staff and huge, smooth and very good ice-cream! 2 scoops are enough as a lunch 😋

09/08/2025: The reviwes aren't good lads. I'll go elsewhere!

03/05/2025: Overall nice hotel. Clean and overall comfortable. Great ocean views with a deck The bed was a tad uncomfortable - similar to a really poor Hampton Inn. The restaurant food and service - consistent with other reviews - was average for dinner and breakfast. We would return to the hotel. Tip: Rent electric bikes on the island and use the Green Route. Amazing views - breathtaking - seals - and beautiful stone walls.

27/04/2025: We booked a table for two for Saturday 19th April having reviewed the online menu, particularly in relation to the vegetarian options. On arrival, the menu put in front of us bore no resemblance to the online menu. We ordered the only veggie option: speghetti vegetable and tomato sauce, which on eating was more water based that tomato sauce. We did raise this with the waitress and again at reception on leaving, in relation to how disappointed we were. We have never posted reviews but couldn’t let this one go. Vegetarians, stay away from here.
