How is The Hungry Monk rated?

I ate here on 30 December and reviewed it in January. Ate again in February, and again on 16 March. Like other reviewers, I also found it chilly in December, but the food was excellent, as it was every time I ate here. Today, the...heat was on 'full blast' and it was very comfortable in the main dining area. Service, food, ambience, value are all excellent. Booking advised, as the place is almost always full. Again - I'll be back soon.More

Nice Food, Good Food But Restaurant Freezing

We had lunch here in late December. We had eaten here before and the food was very nice. We were served by a very pleasant local young lady who was working part time and also studying (we made sure to give her a good tip...which she really appreciated). We were the only people in the part of the restaurant that we were put in. The owner sat on a bar stool the whole time, looking at us. It made us feel very awkward. Also, the place was absolutely freezing so we weren't comfortable and didn't enjoy the nice food as much as we should have. I appreciate that we are in difficult times but some things like heating are an essential.More

Really enjoyable...yet again

Ate in the bistro last night and, as always, had a very enjoyable evening...the attention from Nick and the team, the food and the warm atmosphere were all of the usual high standard...even though we were last there, no pressure whatsoever to leave...looking forward to...our next visit!More

Continues to provide great food and great value - always packed

I ate here on 30 December. Service excellent. Food perfect. Great value and menu choice. Great atmosphere - bizarrely, tables are close to each other but conversations are not easily overheard. Will be back again soon

Delicious meal with great ambiance

Visited Hungry Monk for dinner during a weekend stay in Greystones. We had heard about the popularity of the restaurant and we’re eager to check it out. We sat in the smaller dining bar area and had a great service from Nicholas as our server....The meals were very good. Would highly recommend reservations in advance.More

Last night of the holiday meal

We first found this gem 5 years ago by happy accident. Planned our return visit today and we were greeted warmly and had the most enjoyable meal. Drinks, starters, mains, desserts all fantastic, atmosphere was great and the service was attentive and we felt like...old friends. Hopefully back again within five years. On looking back at my photos from our last visit, I realised I’d had the same starter last time, just as delicious. Would definitely recommendMore

Amazing customer service and wonderful place

We were recommended this place and weren't disappointed! We hadn't booked but the owner was incredibly welcoming and superb with the kids. All the staff were super friendly and the food was excellent. The owner choose us some wine to go with the meal which...was spot on. One of the highlights of our holiday.More

Food was Superb

The menu is varied catering to all tastes and the food is excellent. I had the steak and it was the tastiest steak I have had in a long time. Next time I shall opt for the pie which looked delicious.

Watch the cost!

This is a seriously expensive place and they wallop you with a 10 % service charge so beware. Food is good but never worth the cost

Still excellent - this restaurant has matured well!!!

Ate here twice in 2022 - May and June. Food and service were excellent on both occasions. Not cheap, but excellent value and well worth it. Super selection of food on the menu. We don't drink alcohol, but friends who do tell me that the...wine list here is good. Steaks were excellent - I'd definitely recommend them.More
