The best restaurants in Monaghan

10/05/2025: My experience in the batch loaf was brilliant, the food was nice and the staff was helpful. I would highly recommend it for others.

05/04/2025: We visited Batch Loaf for Sunday lunch after a confirmation ceremony, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with an elegant and cozy atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious – full of flavor, beautifully presented, and reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be coming back!

04/05/2025: Extraordinary food. Compliments to the chef.

07/04/2025: The evening started off good while we were greeted by one of their staff members, who cracked a few jokes to enlighten the mood, which was good. The issues we had however, were more than disappointing. After ordering our food, the time it took for one starter to be served to our table took an hour and a half! And just over 2 hours for the mains to come. The question was asked, why was it the case. Short staffed their reply was, but in a rude and rushed manner. I understand that this can happen but having no staff on stand by shows the lack of commitment. Especially giving it can be very busy. The chef could be heard shouting at the waitresses, which you could clearly see this massively affected their well being as well as their ability to serve. Therefore I would not recommend this place until staffing issues were corrected.

25/04/2025: Omg you have to try the duck burger my hubby loved it and I had a sneak bite :) curry unreal also very filling onion rings on side lovely and crispy :)

31/03/2025: Best hot wings in Ireland,good staff and pints.

06/05/2025: Great pub. Staff are very kind and welcoming. Great atmosphere for the football!

10/02/2025: Busy boozer at the weekends. Quiet in the week, but so is Monaghan full stop. Friendly staff, friendly locals, and top quality pints.

30/04/2025: The service is implacable, nice staff and amazing and delicious food with a beautiful presentation.

05/04/2025: Superb food. Service is excellent. Recommend to anyone who loves Asian food

16/05/2025: Although the food is good, I would not go back to this restaurant because of the attitude of the owner. An elderly lady I know ordered a salad there that came with a piece of steel that looked liked a drill bit. When shown to the owner, she said it couldn’t possibly have come from there - suggesting that this person had planted it. She said there was no salad dressing on it despite there being no dressing on the particular dish. Mishaps can happen in restaurants but who treats their customers like that?

17/04/2025: Lovely food. A Very nice and friendly server. However, as I was queuing to pay, the lady in charge accused our table of not paying for our food. I could hear her talking about us, asking the other servers where we were and saying we'd left without paying. My friend was at the bathroom and I was literally in the queue ready to pay and listening as she spoke about us. . When I paid, I thought maybe she might have apologised, but was disappointed she didn't.

30/05/2025: Just class the best pizza ever!

28/05/2025: First memory of Pizza D'or in Monaghan was during the 1998 World Cup.. Me and my brother put together what ever money we could find around the house (pocket money) ordered two pizzas then had to phone a seperate taxi to collect and deliver. It was the best feeling ever, constantly watching the window waiting anxiously for our pizzas to arrive. That feeling of excitement has always remained the same, especially as I got older and more settled, always looked forward to "quiet" nights in enjoying our favouite take away. I also proudly boasted about Monaghan's famous pizza when travelling abroad for a year to Australia. To my friends down south whenever we would sit in for a pizza I yearned for the taste back home. Now married my wife and I share the same passion for this pizza and always dreaded the voicemail over the holidays to say the doors would be closed for a certain number of weeks. Sadly all good things come to an end but the memories we share will never fade. To David (the owner) and staff over the years thank you all, you owe Monaghan nothing!! Thanks again and I'll drop by for the last time at the weekend. Best wishes and good luck 👍

11/05/2025: First time here today fantastic food massive portions and value for money will definitely be back

03/05/2025: The food was great, the special gin was especially good. Maybe because we were in so early but the grub took a while to come out, kids were getting impatient. But will definitely visit again

07/03/2025: Fancied a couple pints, but I had my dog with me. They allowed me to enter and go in to the beer garden, which was great because my dog isn't small 🙃. Everyone was great even Tommy loved it.

14/03/2025: Went with my mam the pancakes are beautiful would recommend

06/03/2025: Delightful, cute little cafe filled with curios and art to keep you looking and searching the entire room until your food arrives. When that happens there will be no conversation and you'll be fully focused on your meal. The staff are wonderful, the food is great and the atmosphere fantastic. I really recommend a visit as soon as you can!!
