Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I have been to peoples many times and it’s always my first choice. We recently ate here and it superb as usual. The food is always divine in particular the sticky bbq pork chunks they are to die for. The staff are always so attentive...and are a wealth of knowledge. I will definitely be back very soon.More

People’s is a gorgeous restaurant. Recently celebrated an anniversary here and the staff went above and beyond. The food was delicious as always, and amazing for coeliacs. The gluten free options were extensive, most dishes on the menu were naturally gluten free which is rare!...I opted for the Korean fried chicken which was delicious, and gf! The cocktails are some of the best I’ve had too.More

We were looking forward to having dinner in Peoples having heard great reviews of it. The venue itself was very impressive and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We ordered onion bhaji and black pudding croquettes to start, both were delicious, particularly the bhaji....For mains we opted for 12oz sirloin with mash, the chicken curry with rice and a portion of chips….all of which were unfortunately doused with salt. Thankfully the waitress had given us a second bottle of water which was needed! The meat was really good but it was ruined with salt. The curry had a good amount of chicken and a nice mix of vegetables but was overpowered by salt. As were the chips! We did say it to the waitress but there was no follow up, we decided to give dessert a miss. Disappointing as we were really looking forward to it.More

The good is that the staff are lovely, attentive and not burdensome. Drinks are pretty good too and not too pricey. The bad part is the food, mediocre to say the least. Wife had fish & chips which were just okay. Hard to mess that...up in Ireland. The mushy peas should probably not be on there, pretty poor and didn’t seem too fresh. I had the southern fried chicken burger - it was awful, way too salty and the so called crispy bacon was bordering on raw. I actually deconstructed it and just ate the chicken without the batter. Server did apologize, but having something so bad and undercooked should have been elevated to the manager. But nothing further was said. Decided just to pay and leave. Honestly was looking forward to trying one of the top 5 places to eat in Cavan, but was left very underwhelmed. Would not recommend at all.More

We had dinner at The Peoples Restaurant in Cavan and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were marvellous, welcoming and friendly and very helpful. The food was to die for, absolutely georgous and the ambiance of the restaurant was lovely. I am ceoliac and...there was lots of choices for me. My sister is ill at present and they gave her exactly the meal she asked for and she enjoyed every bit. After our meal we went next door and had some coctails!! Fabolous. What a fabolous night on our break to Cavan. I would go back there and would recommend it to anyone.More

Delicious food, service top class, would highly recommend. However, when I ordered sparkling water and a dash of lime, I was charged €1 extra (on top of the sparkling water) for the dash of lime, I thought that was just a bit much!

Another lovely day in paradise, Sally! I don't know where to start and where to finish. The whole evening was a masterpiece starting with a welcome drink up to the desert. There was not a single weak point. We had so many dishes, that i...would need a separate article in the newspapers. Briefly... starters, main courses, deserts, drinks... All of them belong to the foodporn category.More

Peoples Restaurant thoroughly exceeded our (high ) expectations. Our host Jamie even came out to the car park to help us park. The service was faultless, the food delicious. The belly pork was especially worth a mention. Tender, plentiful, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. We...could not ask more from a restaurant and I would definitely recommend.More

Slightly odd ambience (bit dark), but spacious. Very friendly and efficient staff. Sensibly short but interesting menu. Food was excellent. Very reasonable prices.

What an amazing night from start to finish. My husband booked percy French for cocktails, I had the strawberry negroni, wow it was amazing. It was so romantic where we were put sitting and we were looked after so well. We then went into people's...for our 8:30 reservation. The food was absolutely beautiful as always. It was the best birthday treat, can't wait to see you againMore

I’m afraid I didn’t take much notice of the vegetarian options on the menu but I would say that all out dishes were beautiful and I’d imagine that the vegetarian options are likewise.
