The best restaurants in Monaghan

07/04/2026: My Wife & I went to Dinkins Castleblayney for a lunch along our 3 month old Baby. Whilst we were sitting in our seat, the staff had a radio blaring Club music (to the point were couldnt hear each other talk). I asked the staff if they could please lower the volume as we couldn't hear each other speak, and had a 3 month old. The person in charge (older lady) told us we couldn't turn it down because "people didnt want to hear eachother talk?". And she proceeded to turn it up further. We left and took our business elsewhere across the road to the Cozy Cafe. Rude Staff total disregard for customers, and a Baby. Shame on You.

26/07/2026: Had our wedding here on the 23.07.26 and everything was amazing! Rooms were spotless and the wedding team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Thank you guys - Mr & Mrs Collins 💕

25/07/2026: Stayed for my sisters wedding and the room was very comfortable and clean. The staff member at reception was very hostile. She made a mistake with my room number as I said I was the bridesmaid but recieved the family room and went back to change it. She said in a very rude tone that she gave me the room I asked for. She did not...The staff member at breakfast was very hostile aswell. Spoke rudely when she was asking for our room numbers which I already told her but she misunderstood me and snapped at me. So the staff I met are not welcoming in the slightest which is unacceptable for a 4 star hotel hosting my sisters wedding.

06/09/2026: I've eaten here whenever I visit Monaghan and the food is always perfect, and the owner / manager is a really nice guy. Extremely efficient and well run takeaway .Highly recommended

15/08/2026: Great food and always great service

16/07/2026: Good food, served fast. Keep in mind is a take away. No tabel service.

13/07/2026: Had to wait over 2h for delivery, ridiculous. When I called the restaurant they kept hanging up and not answering the phone not just that but would leave the phone to ring for ages

03/06/2026: Not gonna back. Ordered pizza,get a kebab

27/07/2026: Some reviews must be fake if this place has 4.7 stars Both worst pizza and kebab I have ever tasted, couldn’t eat more than 2 slices how bad it was

13/06/2026: Beautiful presented and so tasty. Love it

19/09/2026: Oldish woman I’d say early 50s last year refused to serve me a vape with my passport card(which is a government issued id) which stated my birthday was 04/03/2007 making me 18. She stated that she couldn’t serve me as I looked under 25 even though I had my id refused to serve me and then continued to serve my friend who was with me one with no id. And I now am in college and go into the shop twice a week and when I tried buying one again said I was barely 18. And everytime I go in she gives me dirty looks. I was I’m today just before 3oclovk and she gave me dirty looks the whole time and then charge me €1.20 for a cup with a bit of ice and water in it, which I’ve went in and gotten a cup of ice with water plenty times before from the machine and have never been charged.

01/05/2026: Youngish lady behind the deli very rude and ignorant, the man at the till had absolutely no manners, a grunt is all I got when I said hello how are you. I gave them both the benefit of doubt the first time but it was worse on my 2nd attendance, will never stop with my bus load of customers again, everyone of them complained about the rudeness of staff !!

10/06/2026: Good shop but it’s quite small and the aisles can be very tight when it’s busy
