The Black Lion in Dublin

The new food service team in Quinlans Clondalkin serve a fantastic menu, while the menu is not extensive the food is fantastic. A favourite would be the Korean chicken and Bao buns which was excellent. King prawn tacos, smash burger and chicken burgers were all excellent too. Service was fantastic as always.

Brand new carvery today, amazing food and experience. As a trained chef, critical of food, I can say with confidence this is the best pub carvery I've ever had. The stuffing was beyond good, turkey and beef was moist. Salmon was a lovely touch. Large high walled yorkshires. Real carrots cabbage and gravy. The kids had a little natural farm ice-cream for dessert. The staff were lovely, happy and helpful. If you're considering a carvery, a Sunday roast, an authentic Irish pub experience.... Come here.

We visited Ventry Beach twice during our trip, and each time we noticed the restaurant overlooking the bay. Although we didn't have the chance to dine there this time, the location is absolutely stunning. Judging by the proximity to the ocean and the elevation, the views from the tables must be incredible, especially when the Atlantic is in its dramatic, stormy mood. ​It’s definitely on our list for the next visit to Kerry. The whole area has a unique, raw energy that stays with you long after you leave. 5/5 for the location alone!
