The best restaurants in Monaghan

21/09/2025: Great coffee and lovely food and sweet treats

17/09/2025: Lovely cafe in a nice village. We enjoyed the coffee, scone and sandwich.

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

18/03/2026: A very friendly welcome. Lively thanks to its diverse clientele, including quiet schoolchildren who come for a snack.

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

02/09/2025: Seriously overpriced for the quality of what you get out of there. Save yourself a bundle and shop literally anywhere else and for your own sake avoid the deli counter in here at all costs. €5.50 for roll with rock hard hash browns and rashers the woman behind the counter could barely break apart. Why, in any world, she would see/feel the absolute piss poor quality of their food and still have the gall to serve it to me is unexcusable and unacceptable.

18/06/2025: I liked everything, it was clean, a very large selection of products

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

28/11/2025: The store and employees are amazing.

04/10/2025: Excellent place you always find what you need to buy

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.

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!

22/07/2025: Great place to go and have a nice and quiet dinner. The food was unreal and the staff were very welcoming. Happily recommend to others!

28/04/2026: I ordered the special kebab and a mixed kebab meal. Portions are generous and the food is fresh and full of flavour. Good value for money and everything came out quickly. Service stood out. Staff were polite, welcoming, and attentive from the start. One issue needs fixing. We arrived right at opening time at 16:00. The toilet was in poor condition and looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time. First impressions matter, and this lets the place down. Overall, good food and great service. Cleanliness needs improvement to match the rest of the experience.

27/12/2025: Great value and kebab was filling

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

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

10/03/2026: Our favourite place to eat pre COVID . We got take aways and ate outside from a limited menu during lock down. Had a late lunch here today, Tuesday as it was fairly quiet and I had vunerable people with me. It was great to be back and the menu is back to normal. We had chilli with rice , a marinaded chicken sandwich and a perfectly sized small portion of cod and haddock in wine sauce all from the specials menu. All top quality and very tasty. Great variety of choice . Best place to break for a decent meal on the Dublin/Letterkenny route. They have an EV charge point too. Couldn't recommend it enough. Lovely atmosphere and always decorated for the season. Pumkins everywhere today.

09/11/2025: Always a favourite. Great local pub, the best pint of Guinness you’ll find anywhere

08/09/2025: A lovely old bar, well worth a visit
