The best restaurants in Monaghan

16/09/2026: The sausage and egg cozy McMuffin breakfast is to die for, absolutely gorgeous and the coffee was delicious too. The waiting staff, Sheena and Sinead were lovely, chatty and very friendly. It’s always lovely when the chef, Caireen this time, also lovely, popped outside, I was eating in the dog friendly cozy alley, to see if everything was ok. 10/10, thoroughly recommend 👌👌👌

12/08/2026: As promised when we were leaving (about 20 minutes ago!) we're leaving a good review of our visit to this fabulous little cafe, great variety of dishes on the menu and food and service was amazing. Lovely friendly staff and nice decor and atmosphere with very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back next time we're passing through 😊

28/08/2026: My family and i have been going here for years and i love the cake and we love the taste every time, but this time i asked for a cake and i wanted a yelllow icing on the outside and chocolate on the inside and i got chocolate all over with no yellow icing and i asked for the picture on the picture on my cake and i got a different one and its bad quality, i even offen for them to take a picture of the cake picture and colour i wanted and they didn’t.Over all i love this place but would love if they would do what i asked for.

28/08/2026: Our wedding cake and cupcakes were made by the Dinkins Bakery and Cafe in Carrickmacross, and we couldn’t have been happier! They kindly accommodated us despite the short notice, and everything was absolutely amazing. The cake was not only beautiful but delicious too! We received so many compliments from our guests. We highly recommend them for any special occasion! ❤️

19/09/2026: Beautiful food at reasonable price. Salad options are great if you want a healthy option

31/08/2026: Delicious food,great staff. Highly recommended for breakfast lunch and dinner👍🏻

08/07/2026: My wife and I hosted a pre-wedding event here this past Friday and it was unbelievable! Diane was fantastic and so helpful in the preparation up to the event, the event space was gorgeous, it was a covered outdoor space that had a private entrance, and Diane set us up with our own bartender. The venue was a nice size, yet felt intimate! We had maybe 60 people attend the event and it was so wonderful for both of our sides of the family to meet ahead of the wedding on Sunday! I highly recommend the Coachhouse for anybody looking to host an event, but I especially recommend it for a pre-wedding event or an afters for anyone having their wedding at the castle!

15/05/2026: The best pint of Guinness in Ireland 🇮🇪 , Amazing atmosphere definitely worth visiting

01/08/2026: Beautiful restaurant with Stunning views (Lives up to its name) even on a rainy day lovely setting. food always beautiful and staff very accommodating and helpful ☺️

28/06/2026: Grand spot. Had my birthday dinner there. Fantastic location. Some view. Good service. Lovely food. Plenty off. Kids meals very expensive(irish thing). Overall highly recommend. Mains about 25eur to 30eur.Kids meals at 10.95euro totally irish ripoff for sure. Great view at the window !!

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!

21/07/2026: Gorgeous food and excellent service!!

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

22/08/2026: “Very tasty kebab! The meat was fresh, the vegetables were crunchy, and the sauce was really good. The portions were very generous and filling. The service was friendly and fast. I’ll definitely come back again! Highly recommended! 👌🌯”
