The best restaurants

13/07/2025: Freshly made food and excellent quality. Never disappointed

03/07/2025: Great food, lovely decor & friendly staff

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 😋

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.

25/07/2026: Get the prawns and chips. The food is made fresh and it is really delicious. Great place to eat while your significant other shops the market.

08/06/2026: The chowder was not bad but not worth the price, and had no fish or shrimp at all, just potatoes, celery, and carrots.

30/09/2025: What's to be said that hasn't already? The best chipper. It's all top notch. I have to visit carrick-on-suir again to try their burger.

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.

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!
