The best restaurants in Monaghan

26/01/2026: Went for a Carvery lunch yesterday 25/1/26. It was awful, and the guy serving the veg was so uncaring. almost throwing the food on the plate. We asked for the Starters and was told we only do the lunch, if you want a starter you have to eat in the bar....great, most unhelpful, so we didn't have a starter. A different waitress came and cleared the plates and we again asked if we could get desserts and no problem brought us a menu and was very helpful. Will not be going again for Carvery.

15/01/2026: Just spent four nights at the Shirley Arms Hotel (Mon-Fri). From first contact (email query), the team have been fantastic 👏 The hotel is lovelly, and all of the team are super welcoming, friendly and helpful, but a special shout out to Aoibheann in the bar restaurant, who was super fantastic 👍 Food was lovelly, and by far my favorite was the Sizzler steak dish with creamy garlic potato gratin (see picture) 🫡 I should say, that I had already ate some, and cut the potatoes up, so the picture probably doesn't do the food full justice 🤔 Some people have commented (negatively) on the cost of the food, and yep - they are not the cheapest, but - and here's the thing, you get what you pay for, . . . For me, I received value for money, and wouldn't think twice about staying here again in the future 😎 Lots of onsite parking, great rooms and attentive housekeeping for the rooms, and if you have forgotten anything a 'Super Valu' supermarket next door, . . . . . . . Seriously, what's not to like 🙂

28/01/2026: Myself and my friend had a lovely Cake and Tea here yesterday afternoon. The girls serving us was so friendly and the Carrot Cake and Blueberry Sponge were both very tasty. It was good value for what we had and the place has a wonderful quirky atmosphere. We would recommend this lovely Cafe and Ice Cream Parlour. Glaslough is a beautiful village and well worth visiting. So enjoy the food in Pocono while you're there.

29/11/2025: Bar man said we were "too rowdy" and "causing hassle for others". Disappointed by the service considering the photo attached is how we were for the night. Bar man took a photo of us all and didn't say anything concerning and then decided we were all too mouldy and causing hassle for others despite us being the only people present. No wonder small bars are losing business when this is what people are met with.
