The best restaurants in Monaghan

13/12/2025: Very welcoming , clean and cozy! Food was tasty .

02/11/2025: I received an email the day before our arrival saying check in from 2 pm. When we arrived at 2.30 the place was shut. I had to ring and got a chef/cook to open the side door. When entering the hotel the man asked my name and said oh yea you are in room —- he showed us where it was and that was our check in 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ the hotel is about 20 km from the nearest town. When we went back that evening to have a drink in bar that’s when we were told what time breakfast was at 8.45-9.30. The staff were all lovely and very accommodating but I just didn’t expect the hotel to be as far out of the way from everything. The breakfast was lovely but didn’t get a choice was asked did we want full breakfast and that’s what we got. This hotel would suit walkers or bikers but not really a family holiday. We had booked in for two nights but only stayed one!

14/04/2026: What a lovely place. Rachel is a star. Great breakfast, recommend you pay a visit.

09/04/2026: Waited almost an hour for a breakfast

29/07/2025: The staff was very friendly and attentive.

25/06/2025: Was visiting Monaghan and randomly dropped in here. We had coffee and two fallafle wraps. The wraps were amazing and very flavoursome, whoever is in the kitchen knows what they are doing. Service was also great

08/12/2025: Friendly bar with great Guinness. Terry himself served us and gave us a warm welcome will definitely be back.

10/11/2025: Nice coffee ☕️ but no waggon wheels

06/06/2026: First time at Conor's Bar & Lounge & had a lovely meal served by very welcoming & friendly staff, set in beautiful surroundings with an exquisite & homely interior. 10 out of 10

01/05/2026: Simply perfect. Food, atmosphere and service 10/10. Chicken is worth getting!

22/09/2025: Really nice bars, staff are as friendly

19/03/2026: Amazing China food, perfect taste, and very good service! Real good service.

11/02/2026: Typical Irish Chinese, i.e., nothing like a British Chinese restaurant. For instance, the spicy Peking sauce is just your average run-of-the-mill, sickly sweet & sour sauce which I found very annoying. If I'd have wanted sweet & sour, I'd have ordered sweet & sour.

16/09/2025: A very decent pub with welcoming locals and a very pleasent chap manning the bar when we visited.

31/08/2025: Nice place for a pint; friendly and cozy.

17/01/2026: Was really good service and lovely behaviour staff and food testing amazing 👌👌

13/11/2025: Pizza House in Clones is a reliably excellent spot for pizza — crisp-edged crusts, soft centres, and generous, fresh toppings across every style I’ve tried. Orders are consistently ready fast (about 10–15 minutes), making it perfect for a quick dinner or takeaway for friends. The staff are friendly and efficient, creating a warm, unpretentious atmosphere. The menu also covers kebabs, burgers and classic sides; prices are fair for the portions, and delivery hours suit evening plans. Pair a pickup with a short stroll around Clones town centre for a simple, satisfying local meal.

23/05/2026: Yes stopped for a break and went it for food. And a great variety to be had, and they arnt afraid to feed you. Will be back.

13/05/2026: I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I ordered breakfast, a Sandwich. They refuse to heat the products sold. I had to pay for it and throw it away when leaving the store. Some products are not edible unheated, having fats that cannot be eaten cold. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

16/01/2026: Magnificent food & fantastic staff. Highly recommend Ninos! SteveyJ & Catherine

20/12/2025: Fantastic food prepared with a touch of fun. Cosy location for early morning coffee and breakfast

26/12/2025: Best lunch spot in carrick. Evening menu perfect. Best steaks in carrick. Great value for money

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.

17/05/2026: Dreadful staff. Met at the door by the rudest man. No greeting what so ever, just a blunt have you got a booking. We didn't so we were sent to the corner of the restaurant with no window! I did ask a girl could we get a window seat and we were told if you don't book you can't sit beside a window. Bizzare set up considering the restaurant had more staff there than customers. 2 guys in the bar, disgraceful, I've never come across such ignorance. And the language they were using,( to each other) we were sat right at the bar so could hear everything. Food itself was lovely. Lovely menu plenty of selection, but the staff and the service leave nothing to desire a return visit. Management definitely need to look into the people they have fronting such a stunning venue. Host man- rude/miserable Serving staff- polite but young, no attention to detail Bar staff- dreadful *TIP* give your customers a nice experience and they might just come back! Instead of making them feel like a total inconvenience.

06/03/2026: Great place, good food, spectacular view!

01/05/2026: Beautiful hotel, attended a wedding here. The bedroom had lovely decor, a queen sized bed and was spotless. The wedding seemed to run very smoothly, small gaps between courses to allow digestion and no tables appeared to have to wait long time. There were only 2 bar staff so the service there could be slow enough at times, especially as the promoted the cocktail list which obviously takes longer to prepare. Few niggles were when serving the toast wine, our table was only offered white and when the bottle ran out they didn't come back to us so some of us didn't actually have a drink for the toasts. Also, the same nearly happened with the tea! The girl moved to another table before checking she had offered everyone at our table. Just staff being either inexperienced or not fully engaged which isn't really good enough when you consider how much is paid by the bride and groom. The food was good and well portioned. The separate reception area for the welcome reception is a major plus for anyone who is looking a wedding venue

03/04/2026: Lovely hotel, very friendly service, rooms clean and good location

30/11/2025: I got a pizza in Tony’s for the first time last night and I was very impressed. Fresh ingredients, cooked in a wood fire oven. The staff are friendly too, I will be back for more :)

27/11/2025: Owner is so kind food always in time and so delish 😋
