The best restaurants in Monaghan

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

01/04/2026: Good quality and choice of food and drinks, and friendly service.

24/01/2026: The food is very good, the pancakes here are delicious.

11/04/2026: Fun for the children and teens. Great value for the parents

01/03/2026: When I eneted, the staff at the reception dropped all the paper straws on the floor and they started putting them back in the box. I told them that those should be thrown in the bin and the guys started laughing. The date of the incident 01.03.26 -12.05 pm.

20/09/2025: Overpriced mains don’t come with any rice or chips ridiculous.

01/09/2025: We visited Bistro couple months ago ,some dishes were fine some were kinda soggy. Salads,chips,milkshakes are great in there but holy moly these wings turned me off.They were saturated in oil ,they were soft,I honestly expected them to be crispy but I suppose that's just my preference,was not happy for them .Anyways bistro now offers an Inidan cuisine that is just off the top good,fresh meat,lovely spice,hot dishes ,fresh rice just class.We have ordered indian couple times in last month and definitely reordering

26/05/2025: Beautiful cafe to stop at either for a quick (delicious) coffee or the best hot chocolate you could ever have!! Got a treat for the road but I wish we had time to grab a loaf of bread for sandwiches! 10/10

24/05/2025: Absolutely love Hughes Coffee Shop. Food is fabulous, and the staff are so nice, they couldn't do more for you.

06/01/2026: We were the only 2 customers on a Tuesday night in January. They waited for us, they served us and let us eat without rushing or wanting to get us out quickly (like it happened in other places). Food was amazing, we ordered 4/5 dishes each and everything was excellent! Very big portions, we couldn’t finish and we had to take away the excess, that was packed very kindly. Very delighted and will definitely go back! 😀

01/01/2026: The food is adapted to European tastes. Overall, it's good. I'd like to see more of India.

22/04/2025: Our friends took us here while visiting them in Carrickmacross and said this is the best place to go and try your first Guinness. 5 pints of Guinness later, and they were not wrong. It's a really cool pub with very welcoming and friendly staff.

11/04/2026: Rooms are lovely and the hotel in general is really nice. But very disappointed though as I got my baby to sleep and wanted to order room service. Called twice with no answer and then had to call reception just to be told I couldn't order food, I could get it from outside if I wanted. They advertised 24hour room service. Really bad for a hotel of this standard in my opinion.

08/04/2026: Check in was at 1600 and check out 12 but we could not sleep as from 0830 work men banging kids playing in the hallway both of us on nights very disappointed in the noise

18/10/2025: Caters for all dietary needs. Staff very welcoming. Very clean. Down stairs odds and ends from €5 to €800 electrical goods. Pop in and look around.

27/09/2025: Went for a paint-got it. Asked for an advice-got it. Staff very helpful. Swift collections and returns.

11/01/2026: My children love it, the staff is friendly and calm

31/10/2025: Not the first time that half of my order was missing when I left. In fact almost 90% of my times going here, there is always something missing that I then have to go back in for. I was also told by the African looking manager that I should have checked my order before leaving. That is not my job to do so, and on top of that there must have been about 6 or 7 staff members looking at the same screen. How they forget anything is beyond me, as they have so many people looking at and packing the same order. Staff need more training, some people need Demoting as their manners are a disgrace and they are supposed to be the front face of the company

05/06/2026: Nice food when you can get it. Unfortunately for some reason despite calling for the last 45 minutes I have not been able to get through to order anything over the phone despite the website clearly saying it is open. Not really good enough.

12/05/2026: Proper Italian restaurant, amazing food

19/01/2026: I had heard good things about this restaurant but on arrival, we were disappointed. We were in an outdoor room, sitting over a radiator. We found it to be very expensive - €18 for small-medium sized pizza. Every person must order a pizza - no other option for people who don't eat pizza. The pizza wasn't great. Overloaded with jalapenos and I managed one slice it was so spicy. I wouldn't recommend.

04/12/2025: Lovely night with group of friends. Been here few times before and never disappoints

14/01/2026: Even when busy staff are really friendly 😑

19/12/2025: Great food, we stopped on the way through and as always, food was yummy.
