The best restaurants

04/02/2026: Fabulous food, great atmosphere and the owner is so lovely. Will most certainly return!

02/02/2026: We had a lovely lunch there, my kids already wanna come back. My husband said it was the best risotto he ever had. Portions are very generous and desserts were gorgeous too. We’ll be back!

11/01/2026: Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. They really go above and beyond for their customers and it shows. We stopped by while it was raining out for a bit of food before our train and was greeted with nothing but kindness. We had the wings and soup, and they also prepared a toastie on request. 10/10 would recommend.

05/01/2026: The place is nice, the food is homemade, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The worst thing is that the owner is quite intrusive; he talks a lot and takes too many liberties, in my opinion. The lady, however, is very friendly.

20/09/2025: Great pub, hospitable owner, just like an Irish pub should be, with its interior, charming little lounges, and relaxed atmosphere. Tip: For those who are tall or large, mind your head as you enter the pub with a slight bow.

07/09/2025: Holy cow! Who would think that a bar, a bar way in the hills, would produce such incredibly good food. I'd give it 6 or 7 stars if I could. It is worth the drive. A real destination restaurant. Compliments to all the staff that made our dinner for 40 so unbelievably good. Two 👍

28/08/2025: My favorite restaurant in Kinsale. Service was amazing. They gave us food to try. Just an amazing place and experience

20/08/2025: Incredible! Everything was so fresh and delicious!

15/01/2026: lovely bar with great local and holiday people at the northern part of Ireland, scenery is great around this area

08/01/2026: Not the most welcoming, but it was xmas eve

07/11/2025: We went to the stonechat for my mother's 95 birthday ......highly recommend,the food was amazing..fresh and presented perfectly....great service very kind staff......nice cosy atmosphere.....the best place in Killarney without a doubt

19/10/2025: Absolutely top notch. I met Charlotte and Dermot tonight and was astounded at both their sheer capabilities and charisma. They couldn't steer me wrong .. one delicious bite after the next. Unbelabable. I said, hey I don't think I'd like that but they were like "trust me" and I did. Grapefruit? Delicious. They're all good friends in there and you can tell by vibes. Great atmosphere. The banoffie pie was the best dessert I've ever had. I almost got a second one but thankfully a very thoughtful woman said "maybe two desserts is enough". She was right.

24/01/2026: A really excellent lunch at Dax in the heart of Dublin city centre. From start to finish, everything felt thoughtful, calm and effortlessly professional. I began with the beef tartare, which was beautifully fresh and perfectly balanced — classic flavours done with confidence. The fish of the day was outstanding, cooked exactly right and served with clean, seasonal accompaniments that let the quality of the ingredients shine. Dessert was the lemon tart, sharp, light and refreshing, a great way to finish. Service was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming -we were very well looked after without ever feeling rushed. Dax continues to live up to its reputation for fine food and consistency. A fantastic spot for lunch, and one we’ll definitely return to.

23/12/2025: Stunning restaurant. Group Christmas lunch but you wouldn’t know it from the quality of the food. Great selection and large generous portions. Excellent Christmas cheer atmosphere and superb service. Highly recommend.

31/12/2025: Lovely place with a big menu. Excellent coffee 👌

01/11/2025: Really good coffee and toasted rasher sandwich with friendly staff. 👍

24/01/2026: A lovely experience with Virginia and Klaudia at bang !

23/01/2026: What a meal. Adra was a great host. Felt very welcome

09/01/2026: Quality of food is so good and everything tasted amazing. Been here many times and will continue to come back

04/01/2026: 1st time here. Very impressed. The food and service was excellent. Top class.

07/02/2026: Amazing birthday dinner ! Myself and two friends ate here and had such a lovely evening. Staff were the perfect level of attentive and food was absolutely delicious. The manager found out it was my birthday and insisted on bringing something on the house (he offered drinks, baileys, dessert - all of which we said we didn’t need. He eventually brought a delicious chocolate mousse cake). He also remembered my friend from when she had celebrated her doctorate graduation there a year before and congratulated her again. Such a lovely experience, we’ll be back !

02/02/2026: 5 of us ate here New Year's Eve, often a tricky evening for restaurants, but everything was excellent. Will definitely be back soon.

15/08/2025: Been coming here since they open! To all Malaysian! Those cakes and tarts are so close to home!

15/08/2025: I have been coming back for the cheese tart, but I know most of my friends also love the cheese cake! Just superb!

20/01/2026: Had gluten free pizza available

09/01/2026: The best pizza and service in town. We will be back again.

21/11/2025: Super nice waitress, who also welcomed us right away.

19/11/2025: Right, so Man Friday—absolute gem. Walked in and it felt like stepping into a cosy coastal hideaway, all soft lighting and that old-school charm. I kicked off with huge juicy oysters, followed by scampi that was golden, crisp, and downright addictive. The back sole? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. And fair play to the staff—Natalie had the whole thing running like clockwork, no fuss, just good vibes. €96 well spent, no regrets. If you’re in Kinsale and not eating here, you’re missing a trick.

17/01/2026: We visited after making a reservation to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We were guided to a private room-style table, and from the lighting and atmosphere to the staff’s service, the first impression was excellent. All the dishes were even better than we expected, and we were especially impressed by how every staff member acknowledged and took care of my wife’s special day. If anyone is looking for a great restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere in Dublin, I would recommend this place without hesitation.

02/01/2026: A really special experience. Top quality, food and service. A lovely treat.
