07/12/2025: Despite its central location, this cafe maintains a manageable and friendly atmosphere. Seating allows for longer stays, and the overall environment avoids feeling chaotic. It’s a comforting place to pause and enjoy unhurried time in a busy area.

03/12/2025: True to their reputation! Very reasonable prices, generous portions, and a wide variety of options, including vegan.

16/11/2025: I actually went here twice, on my first day, I got a burger and a beer and I thought it was a cool, chill bar. On my tadt night, I went for dinner and realized it was a really nice restaurant. I went in underdressed and without a reservation and they were completely accommodating and really nice

04/11/2025: Truly lovely evening. We arrived @ 7pm on a Tuesday evening. There was no wait, but shortly several private parties and other diners arrived. The food was served quickly and was beautifully presented. We had the prawn risotto. Pork and side salad. Everything was perfectly prepared, delicious and quite lovely to look at. The service was gracious, the staff kind and attentive. Highly recommend

05/12/2025: Friendly and very effective door staff, matched by welcoming wait staff serving great food and pleasant surroundings. Perfect before or after a film in The Lighthouse.

05/12/2025: I was attended by Ruth, an attentive person, I had a wonderful drink! Oscar is a beautiful and cozy place!

06/12/2025: Asti do the best Cacio e pepe I have ever had in Ireland!

06/12/2025: Have been eating here since it opened as Enoteca in the noughties. Food is even better with the Sardinian influence, seafood pasta dishes are terrific, pizzas are the best. If you want to relive your Italian holiday experiences, come here!

21/12/2025: Great food and great staff! Always a busy but happy atmosphere! Can't beat the quality of their breakfast rolls, for taste or price! Would always reccomend

20/12/2025: This was our first visit to The Hungry Monkey for breakfast, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The café itself is quite small, with tables placed very close together, and it was extremely busy due to nearby offices. We were shown to a table by a staff member and ordered two breakfasts and two coffees. The coffees arrived quickly, but our food took almost 30 minutes. Meanwhile, customers seated around us were served, finished, and left, while our order still hadn’t arrived. What made the situation worse was the way it was handled. A woman who appeared to be the owner or manager approached us, initially apologising for the wait. We politely said it was fine. However, she then explained that she needed our table because other customers had reservations and repeatedly reminded us that she needed the table back. The delay was clearly not our choice, and it felt as though our order had been overlooked. Being asked multiple times — albeit with a smile — to hurry up or give up the table made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. If reservations were such an issue, we would have understood being told at the door, rather than being seated and then pressured. The food itself was very average and certainly not worth the overall experience. Unfortunately, the service and attitude overshadowed everything else. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend it.
