The best restaurants in Monaghan

22/06/2026: Absolutely best take away in county monaghan, your not just in there for food but also a great aul chat with the kindest service ive ever experienced, food is rarely late as its a very popular bistro/take away but definately worth the wait.

21/05/2026: Recently used nino's for a large group of 30ppl. Opted for a fry. Food was beautiful, delivered on time and kindly given the use of Bain Marie's to keep the food warm. Also got tray of fresh breads. Overall the services provided was excellent and would not hesitate to recommend or use Nino's as a catering option again. Very reasonably priced also.

04/08/2026: I would strongly advise anyone considering buying a food truck from this company to think twice. Unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing. To be fair, the manufacturer did pay to repair the factory defect with the axle, and I appreciate that. However, that was only one of many problems I have experienced. Since purchasing the food truck, I have had numerous issues, including: * A factory defect with the axle. This proved to be very dangerous. * Extensive rust on the outside of the trailer. * Problems with the trailer hitch, had to replace. * Poor sealing throughout the food truck, allowing water to leak inside whenever it rains. * Multiple other workmanship issues that should not be expected on a professionally built food truck. I also paid extra to have an overhead canopy/shelf fitted above the serving counter. The quality of the material used is extremely poor. It has already rusted, and it is clearly not made from proper stainless steel as I would have expected for a food truck exposed to the weather. A food truck is a major investment, and I expected quality, durability and attention to detail. Instead, I have spent a significant amount of time dealing with repairs and issues that should never have existed in the first place. Although the axle issue was resolved at the manufacturer’s expense, the number of other defects has left me very disappointed with the overall build quality. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this company. If you are considering buying a food truck from them. Soány is the person who sold me the trailer. I travelled to Monaghan on three separate occasions, and each time he arrived in the same Blasta-branded van, displaying the same graphics as this page, with the same trailers that he is selling. These are the same people, even if they are using different accounts.

01/08/2026: Recently had the Blasta Van come for a private event and couldn’t recommend them more. The quality of food was absolutely superb. The staff and service were brilliant - all so lovely and attentive/catering to everyone 😊

19/05/2026: Such a trendy little spot in Monaghan. Best coffee around and I am obsessed with the açai bowls! I love that it's a family run business and you can clearly see how much care and attention to detail they put into every part of it. The café itself has a lovely atmosphere and is always spotless. The staff are super friendly and there's a menu to suit everyone. A great place for brunch, lunch or to grab a coffee.

27/04/2026: My first time in Monaghan, lovely food but I can't say the same for the young staff, not welcome at all, their only words were when we asked if we could sit anywhere. It's not like Ireland to be like that. Maybe the staff need some training to work with the public. Pity, it is a lovely place and food. I don't think I'll come back.

30/06/2026: The Cozy Cafe is such a lovely place with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The servers are incredibly friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. I had the delicious GF Cozy Bowl, and it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It’s great to find such tasty gluten-free options without compromising on quality. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for great food and excellent service! My only suggestion and purely my preference! A large pot of tea needs more than 2 tea bags (3) or better choice of tea.

23/03/2026: Servers were really nice, food was raw and dripping oil + batter, when sent back was met with overcooked chicken and i mean pure rubber. Food poisoning cheers🙏 Not the servers fault just the unqualified chef with an ego

09/08/2026: There’s always something in this shop unless you’re only shopping old fashioned till way. Ordered online - half of food unavailable and also got home and some food was missing. Got a call from the store to come back. (I’ve done online ordering to save time) 🫢😂 Now past two weeks I’ve done self scan - again - to save time. Double check everything everytime I put in basket and both times it was flagged as an item wasn’t scanned so they have to re-scan the whole order…. Same happened today with me being extra careful after the last time. Again - waste of time… could’ve just went to the till. The girl at the till asked for 49.10 € for my items, I’ve given 50.10 €, no change was given. I came back to ask for 1€ back and only got 90 cents but I couldn’t be bothered explaining obvious things I’m not counting every penny as it’s nothing these days but I hate when there’s always some kind of inconvenience ☠️ I’ll have to stop shopping in Supervalu unfortunately as it’s used to be our main shop

09/08/2026: Great SuperValu location with a surprisingly good tech and household section. Found exactly what I needed on the shelves, specifically looking at their Wi-Fi range extenders and networking gear. Everything is neatly organized, well-stocked, and the staff is always helpful if you need a quick hand. Solid shopping experience overall!

12/07/2026: Great coffee and fabulous hardware and gardening shop

07/06/2026: A fine variety of household implements to suit all tastes.

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!

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

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!

12/07/2026: I love going there... I love the people, the atmosphere has something for everyone. Their bread is excellent.

24/06/2026: Well worth a visit.., coffee, pastries, salad mixes, pizza's will not be disappointed 👌
