Poacher Restaurant in Ballina

In the top 3 restaurants I've ever eaten in, phenomenal

Absolutely the best restaurant in Ballina, delicious food choices and a friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend Poachers.

Had a four course dinner last night for our staff night out. 45 euro for a 4 course meal. Food was amazing. I'm celiac and I had plenty of options to choose from and was talked through the menu by the owner. Would highly recommend this restaurant for high quality delicious and flavoursome food. Can't wait to go back.

Great food,atmosphere and service. Prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting. Will be definitely returning in future. Thank you Daniel and the team.

The restaurant is top class! We didn't expect such cuisine in Balina (don't get me wrong, dear Bali residents). If you're looking for creative, hand-crafted cuisine that's very good, you've come to the right place! It's not for nothing that the operators (from Austria and Germany) have received several awards for their creative dishes. All ingredients fresh and regional. The service friendly and quick. If you are in Balina, you must visit the Poacher! The restaurant is top class! We would not have expected such cuisine in Balina (don't get me wrong, dear Balinese).

Visited with a group of friends, not all easily pleased, and not a single word of complaint. Precisely the opposite! The rabbit & prawn starter came in for particular praise!!

Best food in Ballina maybe all of Ireland!

Very good in terms of quality and hospitality

Cercando per cena abbiamo optato per questo ristorante. Veramente delizioso. Carne tenerissima e buonissima. Menu per bambini con un ottima pasta.

My son and I are on an 8 day golf trip and spent several nights in Ballina. We found Poachers to be our best dining experience in Ireland. The owners - Host and Chef - a couple from Germany and Austria have created a fabulous restaurant. We started with the Croquette’s and both had the Braised Beef (absolutely fabulous flavor and cooked to perfection). We enjoyed the meal with a nice Malbec and finished with cheesecake and a puffed pastry filled with ice cream! Everything was superb. We highly recommend this restaurant!!
