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

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! 😁

Cavallinos
Carrickmacross
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!
03/01/2026: Rubbish!
40mins for service
Not even a glass of water offered
Over a hour for bland luke warm food.
Only reason I didn't walk out was because I was meeting a group of people.
As someone that works in hospitality this is zero.

Avenue
Carrickmacross
30/10/2025: I was attracted by the Irish 🇮🇪 and Palestine 🇵🇸 flag floating together! And mashallah, the place is cozy and the service excellent! Great food and great caffé at a fair price!
07/10/2025: Absolutely love this place since it became Avenue Coffee (was a Rock salt). They somehow made it even better. Lovely staff, lovely coffee! The outside got a great revamp too... Looks even better now!!

Monaghan Spice
Monaghan
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.

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.

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.

Barley and Bean
