The Hive
Monaghan
19/10/2025: We only had coffee/tea and a scone. All very nice and friendly. Alle the salads in the vitrine looked so fresh but we sadly had to move on before trying and tasting them all. We will be back.
16/07/2025: A lovely little spot that my partner and I visited for breakfast. It was quiet and the staff were quick to serve us. The breakfast menu has a nice collection of breakfast stables with something for everyone. We each had a Pancake Stack. Mine with Berries, Compote, Greek Yogurt and Honey. My partner's with Bacon, Maple Syrup and Pecans. The Coffee was good and fresh.
Would definitely recommend this spot and we will certainly be back again.

Kinga's Cafe
Carrickmacross
22/12/2025: Expensive for iced carmel latte decaf a cookie, tea and Welsh bun over 20 euro. Rang about Roulade for Christmas 65 euro. Rip off.
22/11/2025: This is one of the rare spots in Ireland where the hot chocolate is the real deal—actual melted chocolate, not the usual powder shortcut. Service runs crisp and attentive, the pastries and products are curated rather than generic, and the overall experience elevates the entire city’s value proposition. The place doesn’t just serve customers; it sets a benchmark others should be aiming for.

La traviata
Castleblayney legal
10/02/2026: Typical Irish pizza place, i.e., the pizzas are a bit strange. Why can't the Irish do pizzas? They need cheese adding as the final topping.
01/02/2026: This visit left a very positive impression.

Dignam's Bar
Castleblayney legal
30/10/2025: Great time in this pub and staff are always very welcoming and friendly
17/08/2025: Very spacious, quite lively, ideal for groups. Waiters a bit uncaring, though. One feels the traditional Irish hospitality is slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Cavallinos
Carrickmacross
29/01/2026: We got takeaway pizzas. It was really nice. I asked to burn it slightly and was done as expected.
04/01/2026: I am gluten intolerant and Unfortunately I received normal pasta after asking for gluten free pasta. They did replace my dish when they realised, but I had already ate half of it. Really need to be more careful!

Ambledown Cottage
Glasslough
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

Monaghan Bus Station Café
Monaghan
03/10/2025: It's just a cafe at the bus station. Nothing special. The food is just snacks, the coffee is just coffee. But it's good when it's raining and cool outside, you can sit on wooden (not metal benches like on the street) chairs and wait for your bus with a cup (paper cup) of coffee.

The Cottontail Cafe
Monaghan
29/10/2025: A very nice little café with a super delicious menu, also suitable for children. Very child-friendly.
16/10/2025: This is a amazing place to go! Every time I go here I always leave happy. This is a great place to go for a nice brunch. All I say is don’t take a big group of people because they wouldn’t have room to fit everyone but other then that 10/10 place!! I definitely recommend to everyone! 😁
