The best restaurants

18/07/2026: Excellent, friendly service from start to finish. The appetizer and both main courses were beautifully presented, simply decorated. The plates were piping hot, and the food was excellent! A highly recommended spot.

13/07/2026: Very nice restaurant with very fresh pasta, I would recommend not having food at least 5 hours before to make sure it doesn't feel heavy. My favourite was the cheese truffle ravioli. I recommend making a reservation before.

21/07/2026: This is a really valuable addition to Galway. Great staff and high quality food. Really enjoyed the ice creams and will be back for more!

20/07/2026: Great ice cream! They did a great job working through the line so fast!

19/07/2026: Great pint! It's very busy with truck loads of tourists coming in every hour, but still a lovely place with nice staff!

19/07/2026: Lovely bar,lot of tourists not even drinking,service very good,music so good atmosphere hard to get a seat !! Didn't like the Guinness but that could be just me.Anyway stayed until closing drinking cider so they doing something right !!!

02/08/2026: Absolutely do not recommend. All reviews I've seen are from the old restaurant - Roastie, which was excellent. Lumi is new, and the menu looked promising, but we were extremely disappointed. The food is quite poor quality. The steak I ordered was inedible - gristly and had a visible slab of fat & vessels in the centre. Advertised as prime Irish steak (rib eye) but seemed like a cheaper, inferior product. For clarification, and in response to the reply, there was 3/4 of the 'steak' left on the plate, inedible. By that point, I ate the sides and what little of the meat that I could find. Service needs to improve as well, sides for my main were delivered before starters arrived & overall inattentive during our visit. More training needed possibly. To add insult to injury, we were overcharged for drinks/ had 5 items added to the bill that were not ordered. Staff didn't seem apologetic, or shocked. Absolutely check your bill carefully before paying. Overall disappointing experience & won't be returning.

01/08/2026: The food was amazing and Great atmosphere for dinner . Love this place, Absolutely my new favourite place in Cork

05/07/2026: The food was absolutely awesome—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. What really made the experience even better was the staff. They were amazing: friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Great food and wow service—highly recommend!

03/07/2026: Brilliant food and brilliant staff!

03/07/2026: A somewhat small restaurant, excellent food, and friendly staff

28/06/2026: We had a fantastic meal at Baan Thai Ballsbridge. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere, with beautiful Thai décor that creates a warm and authentic dining experience. The food was outstanding. Everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavour and beautifully presented. I highly recommend the spare ribs—they were tender, packed with flavour and simply delicious. The chicken red curry was another highlight, with a rich, fragrant sauce and perfectly cooked chicken. The portion sizes are very generous, offering excellent value for money without compromising on quality. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into both the food and the overall dining experience. If you’re looking for authentic Thai food in Dublin, I can highly recommend Baan Thai Ballsbridge. We’ll definitely be back!

02/08/2026: TJ and the team are exceptional

30/07/2026: Absolutely fabulous, seafood to die for and staff more than friendly and helpful and ambiance amazing with 360 degree views

07/06/2026: We've had an amazing stay in this beautiful and authentic Castle, I can't thank you enough. Brian and all the staff are the real definition of "warm and welcoming", rooms are cozy and comfortable, restaurant with truly high quality menu. I wish we could stay longer than one night. See you again soon xxx

25/05/2026: Great first time experience in a castle! Beautiful castle and grounds, great bar and dinner was fantastic! Try the local lobster it is so sweet! Definitely stay here again.

22/07/2026: Hard to believe we have such a delicious Italian restaurant right here in Arklow.. but it's REAL!! The best Italian food that I would rate alongside the best food I've had in Italy.. today we had Ravioli with mozzarella & delicious tomato sauce and a caprese salad (best ever!) followed by the best blueberry lemon cake ever & a cute Italian bun I can't remember the name of! Alongside the best service.. I'm so grateful we have this gem in Arklow, with seats out by the river too 💜 Xxx Ps- the laughing ducks provide a lil extra entertainment if you're lucky!

12/07/2026: Lovely food and friendly helpful staff

11/07/2026: ★★★★★ Fantastic Japanese dining experience in Terenure! The sushi and sashimi were beautifully presented, fresh and full of flavour, paired perfectly with an ice-cold Asahi. Great atmosphere, attentive service and excellent quality throughout. Tani | Japanese Restaurant is definitely a place I’ll return to. Highly recommended! 🍣🍺🇯🇵

19/05/2026: Great pub for a pint, one of the best places I found. Easy to make new friends. Highly recommended

13/05/2026: Prices for BEER differs a lot (see photo)

24/07/2026: Superb dish and wine in perfect harmony!

28/06/2026: One of the best dining experiences going. The food is very special. You can see the efficient kitchen working. The staff are really slick and hospitable. It’s all about the food when you go out to eat though and it really is wonderful.

05/04/2026: Great vibe, great atmosphere, gets a bit crowded but most places do, very nice people.

04/04/2026: My friend and I stopped at Monroe's for lunch. We were blessed with the appearance of Remi, a friendly giant, who patrols the pub & check on guests (and their plates sometimes haha). The pub itself has a good atmosphere and very interesting signed posters on the ceiling! It was busy, but not chaotic busy. The staff was super friendly. We both ordered beef burgers, which were really really tasty, and of course, a pint of Guinness. We have also noticed the place hosts many gigs and other events, which is awesome!

29/07/2026: The Strand came highly recommended by our Airbnb host Clare from MPs at the Tissel. What a beautiful bar. Great food and service. Duncannon is walking distance from MPs Airbnb and Clare is such a thoughtful host, she gave us a lift to and from the Strand. Nachos are delicious

26/07/2026: I haven't eaten a more delicious dish. I highly recommend it.

19/06/2026: Wonderful quiet hotels for meetings. Great staff just as in their Amsterdam location. Love the name "the marker" very John Wick 🍻 Reccomend the tiger prawn salad. Roof top bar has stunning views! (often booked for private events, last two days have been) Wonderful conference space as well. Beautiful rooms and spa, thank you for the double upgrade!

19/06/2026: It was a fantastic weekend stay. All the staff were attentive, making sure everything was perfect. Excellent breakfast. Excellent service overall. Drinks on the terrace were a very pleasant experience. We will definitely be back.
