The best restaurants in Monaghan

27/01/2025: Proper old-fashioned boozer, with beautiful Kathy, the perfect host.

22/04/2025: An excellent addition to Monaghan.

24/01/2025: When I got into the coffee shop I felt so good and completely comfortable with the staff and organised atmosphere. Ordered coffee got croissants. But every time the taste of the coffee differs?

24/05/2025: Love Dinkins for a Fry. Bit expensive.

20/04/2025: Only our second time to visit for their midday specials. As we arrived late in the afternoon, there was very little left to choose from. I ended up getting the last serving of beef bourguignon with rice or chips or both, while my wife had Chicken and Ham with mixed vegetables. Both came with a hot drink and a choice of a wide range of desserts made on premises. All for the special price of €33-00, which was well worth paying compared to the average Dublin prices.

06/03/2025: Didn't stay but attended interview and an event here before. Lovely staff and food. Foods priced a little high too

08/02/2025: I had my childs 1st communion here and also child birthday party and I have to admit it was well done and very nice, it's reasonably priced the you get the hotel experience and nice for the adults as well, nice food well presente.

08/12/2024: No soup hot food too long in counter it was rock hard and over price for poor quality.

21/01/2025: Very helpful , Ernest was brilliant at helping organise a surprise party

29/10/2024: Great food and atmosphere, great portions and good value, added bonus of BYO with good wine selection

29/04/2025: Really loved it. Got a chicken hoggie, was so delish, and huge portion too!

09/02/2025: Good food. It's not as expensive and you definitely don't have to wait very long for your food. I got a Chicken Shawarma Kebab and it was delicious. Very big portions considering the price, the staff are generous. Unlike other takeaways in Monaghan, you can sit down here. I want to emphasize that it is cold inside. They need more heating in the facility. I hope the owner will implement this :)

19/01/2025: Beautiful tasty dishes with so much to choose from on the menu, and they will cater for any particular food options if you ask. Friendly welcoming staff and owners. This family run business has been around for 30 years in Monaghan.

07/01/2025: Chicken balls tasty....and staff friendly taking order

04/04/2025: Did not stay in the hotel. We just call in for a meal in the bar. The quality of food was excellent, and the staff were very friendly

07/02/2025: It's not often that I want to rate a place zero stars, but this was 100% one of those instances. My partner, her three children, and I all went to the Four Seasons to grab some food, charge some devices (tablets and phones), and use their internet. This was all following Storm Éowyn. To clarify, my partner's children would all be neurospicy like her and myself (she's Autistic and I've got cPTSD and ADHD). Her eldest son is Autistic and would be slightly more profound than the rest of us. We found seating in the lobby area where many other people were sitting with the same aim/idea as us, to charge devices, use the internet, and eat. I.went to.the bar to get a menu. I initially couldn't find one but when I asked was given the bar/restaurant menu. I brought it back to our group and we decided on food. When I returned to the bar/restaurant to order, I was told that food couldn't be served to the lobby. I questioned the people eating and drinking in the lobby but apparently it is only tea, coffee, and scones served in the lobby. I was told that we would have to sit in the bar/restaurant for food. I explained that this was very inconvenient due to the nature of our group but returned to the group to move us. When I returned up to the bar/restaurant, I was now told that there was no seating available for us. In total confusion, I questioned being given a menu at all and the following interaction about sitting in the bar/restaurant. No explanation was given and I was dismissed. With many years of hospitality experience in four and five star hotels and resorts, I was beyond surprised that they would not make a simple accommodation considering our additional needs (especially given that the law directs them to do so). I approached the reception to give feedback on the whole situation as the bar/restaurant staff were clearly unaware of the law, and politely complain. Before I could even explain anything, an overbearing voice from beside me started asserting that the hotel staff were all doing their best etc. I explained that none of that was really what was in question. I wanted to tell them about my experience. This offensive gentleman got right up in my face in an extremely threatening manner. I was extremely surprised to discover the gentleman was none other than Frank McKenna, MD of the hotel. His completely casual attire and overall manner, should have given a clear indicator of the unprofessional approach I would now experience. What resulted was an initial exchange between Fank and I, followed by an exchange between Frank and my partner. The contents of which were Frank detailing how Autistic children should be put in care and he would ring Tulsa about her child. Aside from a complete inability to solve a simple problem that a paying guest was having (ie to get a pizza served to lobby seating just 15-20m away from the bar/restaurant), it was evident that the hotel MD and bar/restaurant staff were unaware of the law and how they were breaking it by not making this simple cost-free accommodation for a guest with additional needs.

21/01/2025: Very helpful , Ernest was brilliant at helping organise a surprise party

29/10/2024: Great food and atmosphere, great portions and good value, added bonus of BYO with good wine selection

08/03/2025: Very good selection of alternatives for people with dietary needs. Wonderfully helpful staff. Good place for your weekly shop

08/03/2025: Great family store for your everyday shopping plenty to choose from and also has a computer software store and home store section and chemist. And all the staff are very friendly and helpful

04/03/2025: Sorry ,although it's a great location but unfortunately the food let's you down. Have had breakfast on a few occasions and wouldn't really recommend it . Today had pancakes which looked and tasted like out of a packet , and although I had 3 of them what's with giving 1 piece of bacon

13/12/2024: Lovely spacious location and food good value and quality. I found the woman who took my order patronising and she omitted a salad from 5 salad deal without explaination and charged me for it. Set up is confusing. I wish they would just go back to the pre COVID self service arrangement.
