The best restaurants in Monaghan

20/02/2025: This is an absolutely delightful little coffee shop. Serving an array of baked goods as well as fancy ice creams full stop it was the copy that I was there for though. And, I am very happy to report that the coffee was absolutely fantastic - really really good

16/12/2024: Very Clean.. and the staff are very friendly Good atmosphere Soup and Sambo combo delicious

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?

16/01/2025: Great coffee, friendly staff and it's dog 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.

02/02/2025: All of the staff were amazing so helpful, professional very busy, what a great team, well done.

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 :)

01/01/2025: Just got a meat feast pizza and shawarma kebab and took over an hour to arrive, and it was really cold. Very disappointed of the service. Overrated......

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

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.

03/07/2024: I don't think my vocabulary is big enough to describe how sad of a burger I had in Apple Green. I felt like it had still been cooking there since covid times. Better to eat nothing than the burger.

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.

24/02/2025: Terrible. For people like me that not up to scratch on technology. Personally touch disappearing. So sad.

05/01/2025: Great store with fantastic options. All of the prepared food dishes are delicious.
