The Spotted Dog in Dundalk

We visited for Sunday brunch. Really wide menu, catering for all, with lots of local produce too. Our young kids really enjoyed the colouring activities provided, which we didn't expect! Food was superb, clean plates across the board. Good value for money, portion sizes were great and staff extremely friendly. Will make a point of revisiting!!

Enjoyed the food here, but wouldn’t say it’s the best. The Irish breakfast wasn’t very big, but their pancakes are delicious. Service was friendly, but doesn’t go the extra mile for special occasions, so improvement is pretty much needed there. I would recommend elsewhere if you’re looking for somewhere to celebrate, and if you’re looking for a bigger breakfast. I’ve given two stars for the atmosphere because the place was empty when we came for the first time, so again for a special occasion, the service could’ve gone the extra mile, at least that’s what I’ve experienced in other restaurants, even at the busiest of times.

We're on vacation and looking for a pet-friendly restaurant to eat at. They seated us inside at a large, comfortable table so our dog could stay calm. We ordered a daily special and pasta, along with sausages for Ruffy. They gave him treats and brought out his water bowl. The cod tacos were delicious, as was the pasta carbonara. Everything was fresh, perfectly heated, and served in perfect weather. Carrot cake was a great dessert! Highly recommended if you have a pet with you and want to eat somewhere nice on the terrace without getting cold.

Was visiting from Belfast food was hot and amazing and not expensive lovely atmosphere

Just had lunch and thoroughly enjoyed. A really good place to just relax and enjoy

I am baffled that the guys still don't have a Michelin star. They deserve it like none other!

I visited The Spotted Dog for lunch on Sunday with my partner and our dog, We were warmly welcomed by the staff upon arrival, They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, even bringing treats, a bowl of water, and plenty of affection for our dog. The food was delicious, and service was prompt, a definite plus when you’re hungry, While portion sizes were smaller compared to other establishments, the quality was excellent. The only drawback is that the outdoor seating area doubles as a walkway between two buildings, which may make some guests feel uneasy during their meal, due to the foot traffic.

A lovely little cafe in the middle of town ,nice friendly staff and good value well made food ,the young lady that served us was very professional but also welcoming and sort of place you would definitely return to

Food tasty, coffee tasty, pleasant stuff but they are pricey -specially that I find the place could do some renovation…

Wir haben einen Tisch zum Abendessen reserviert und wurden 2 mal angeschrieben um die Reservierung zu bestätigen. Am Tag an dem wir dort essen wollten, meldete sich ein Mitarbeiter telefonisch und wollte die Uhrzeit verändern, das Restaurant wurde um 17 Uhr für Touristen geschlossen. Wir wollten natürlich nicht zu früh essen gehen und mussten uns ein anderes Restaurant suchen. 👎
