The best restaurants in Monaghan

26/05/2025: Best place for a flat white in the country. Amazing food and staff are wonderful

26/04/2025: Great place to stop off after the Saturday parkrun beside the fairies too 🧚 Best ever bacon bap and cuppa highly recommend shame it’s 2 hours from home. almost forgot the bench is heated!!

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.

18/12/2025: Great Coffee, chocolate eclair wasn't anything special but was fine.

31/08/2025: Love this coffee shop the staff are so lovely I took my wee girl in after school the other day she even bought a few toys for herself. Hot chocolate latte and buns all gorgeous at a reasonable price. Girls couldn’t have done enough for us 😀 You can also pick up lovely cards and gifts in store they have gorgeous candles & creams. They stock a lovely face cream from Dublin herbalists which I bought and it’s really lovely 🥰 Beautiful place our new favorite ❤️ Thanks again girls I don’t review very often but We left so happy Friday it’s a credit to your team

01/06/2025: Really good coffee and the shop itself is so nice!

25/08/2024: Absolutely delighted to have stumbled upon this little gem of a place en route to a workshop which interestingly was themed “coming back home”. As I sat down to my cupán tae, I was thrilled to hear native Irish speakers arrive and when I was settling the bill, I shared cúpla focail (a few words) with them myself “as gailge” (in Irish). What a welcome I received when I attempted in my broken school Irish to interact!! Such encouragement and warmth❤️ I left that place with a full tummy (delish toasted ham & cheese sambo) and a full heart. Go raibh mile maith agaibh

26/04/2025: My first visit to a nice bar lady. Epic music. My boyfriends bday few drinks...

04/08/2024: We were guests of the hotel and they sent us a voucher for a meal deal 2 courses for 29 euro. When looking at the bill we realized that the voucher was actually more expensive than what we ordered. Basically they were false advertising a deal which is not there. We complained with the stuff but nothing was done to compensate. Food was decent although service was quite slow. Wouldn't recommend

13/09/2025: Absolutely delicious never had a better pizza, I always never eat the crust of the pizza but this one i left no crumbs, and dont even get me started with the chips, PERFECTLY salted just like heaven at this point, fully recommend to go there!

24/08/2025: If you’re in Ireland this is a must stop! We had a driver, which I would rather call friend, his name is Ben, he got us in early before opening, we love him for this! We had whiskey and gin, the absolute BEST!! I don’t like gin, for the first time ever I loved it. I haven’t had it since, only love it there. Just had a Sean’s whiskey shot…we kind of like to savor the memories there, and occasionally have a shot. We rescue Irish Wolfhounds, and we named him Sean!

17/08/2025: Small, genuine old-school pub mostly attended by friendly locals.

22/04/2026: This is the one that takes, there's nothing to say. My son went to order it and have it delivered. This was on April 18, 2026. I paid 50 euros. A Monchibox costs 35. They were supposed to deliver it in 35-40 minutes. We waited 3 hours, and they don't answer the phone. And that's it. They finally called and that picked up the phone. She said the order was for 22 euros and there was no delivery. They didn't return the money. No one came that day. Since I was at home and my windows face the road. This is simply not I have. This is such a lie. I have no conscience at all.

09/10/2025: Lovely pub and lovely staff absolutely amazing no negative comments to say about this place 👌🏽

10/05/2026: Really lovely coffee, plenty of sweet treat options. Really good barista. Looking forward to coming again

03/08/2024: We had a mixed order of pizzas and burgers. The cheese burger and pizzas were ok but my chicken burger basically consisted of 2 withered chicken gougons in a bap!… not what was described at all on the menu.
