The best restaurants

13/09/2026: Its a small place and when full youre hearing everything from the next table which is ok if you like that type of thing. The atmosphere is quite nice with a long stemmed candle on each table. Toilets were upstairs but maybe there was an accessible toilet downstairs not sure. Food was delicious but the main portions were smaller than I'd expect. My piece of fish was quite thin over a bed of potatoes to bulk it out but it was scrumptious Veg were delicious. My brownie was ok. Didn't taste like it was made that day. Possibly defrosted and warmed up? If a restaurant offers brownies I believe they should be fresh. My husband got the wrong main, he ordered from one menu but got something simular from the smaller menu. Rather than us eating separately while he waited for a replacement he just plowed on. His portion could have done with being at least another quarter in size. Very relaxed and professional staff. Downstairs was busy but we didnt wait excessively long for our orders.

28/08/2026: Food was really good, welcoming service.

06/09/2026: What a dissapointment! Ordered the fish and chips, and while the batter was light and crispy, the hake was mushy and tasteless. The chips were floury and dry inside and not crispy enough on the outside. The only saving grace was the small amount of salad on the side, which was fresh and dressed with a zingy mustard dressing. Service was polite and fast.Came half way around the world for this, and my local take away does a better job with better fish.

06/09/2026: The welcome was excellent, the waiters attentive and very kind. We ordered a box for two. The calamari tasted only of curry, the sauces were delicious, and the fries were raw. You could see them. We sent them back; even the second fries were raw in the center (because they have very large fries), really not very good. The place is nice and very clean, but very, very smelly. Our clothes were ready to be thrown away when we left.

08/09/2026: Beautiful food I recommend the chorizo carbonara was very good good atmosphere and very friendly staff 10/10

07/09/2026: Just Love it! Food was delicious

16/09/2026: 2 types of live music..was very busy for Tuesday night

12/09/2026: One of the all-time great Irish pubs. Friendly staff, perfect pints, and a listening room with serious trad musicians. Even spotted Matt himself looking in to check out the talent.

05/09/2026: one of the best pizza i’ve tasted in Dublin

05/09/2026: Really delicious pizza. I don't usually like pizza but this was really good. Great options, clean interior and sound staff. Great for a quick bite

26/08/2026: Overrated in my opinion; the bread was just regular bagged bread. It was like a sandwich you could make yourself at home. ❤️‍🩹 The owner is very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. The opening hours are incorrect; it opens an hour later.

26/08/2026: One of the few surviving places in Dublin that still has a bit of character and doesn’t look like the entire premises was ordered from IKEA. The sandwiches are delicious, the staff are sound and always up for a bit of craic, and the place has a genuinely relaxed, old-school feel to it. Highly recommend.

11/06/2026: Lovely spot, food very tasty and reasonably priced. Staff very friendly and welcoming will definitely be back 😊. Very modern way of delivering your food to your table see video 😀

07/06/2026: Just stayed for one night great place to stay food and service spot on. We had a room in the newly converted Lodge clean and very comfortable.

04/09/2026: Self and wife eat there regularly! Excellent tasty food! Helpful front-of-house staff!

13/08/2026: We spent a little over a week touring London, Inverness, Dublin and Sixmilebridge on a family trip. During the entire trip, the best meal we had was at The Abbey Tavern…by a large margin…and our second best meal was at The Abbey Tavern. Incredible food, excellent, friendly service and even reasonably priced. Save room for dessert…they are fantastic. Real authentic Irish Tavern. If I had a complaint, it’s that the kitchen closes at 6:00 pm, so we couldn’t go there a third and fourth time for dinner. But, if you eat a late lunch there, you probably won’t need dinner. Go, to see Quinn Abbey, then stay for lunch at The Abbey Tavern.

11/08/2026: Lovely, efficient, fresh, friendly

08/08/2026: Great food. Great value. Prompt and friendly service. Great place

08/08/2026: This chicken chipotle focaccia sandwich was unreeaaaaaallll 🤯 I have pretty high standards for focaccia and this one was a 10/10 I’ve been dreaming about it all day ☁️. Also, I’m American so was looking for an iced tea (not common in Ireland) but the woman working the counter hooked me up!!! Thank you Alabama angel 😇.

28/07/2026: The blue matcha is fantastic and I love to buy coffee beans here. They carry Swerl roastery which I love. Recommend!

23/08/2026: Really tasty and excellent quality food! Can't wait to try more from the menu especially the pizzas!

21/08/2026: I love your cafe, it is my favorite cafe in the world, from Isla, age 6.

13/09/2026: I had a great experience at yeah burger with my friends for their birthdays, food was 10/10

13/09/2026: Excellent food excellent service always eat here when I'm Navan

13/08/2026: Had an incredible experience here! The atmosphere was super cozy and welcoming, and the pizza was absolutely wonderful. Easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend!

02/08/2026: The pizza base was completely burnt, which gave it a bitter taste until I figured it out. Was it “fired up” or just toasted?

12/09/2026: Fantastic welcome and fabulous carrot cake!

12/09/2026: We received a superb welcome from a lovely team. The coffee and pastries are delicious!

26/05/2026: We have been at this lovely cafe in Salthill quite a few times already and we always had a really good time. The food is superb and always leaves you wanting more.

20/05/2026: I came in this morning and there was a young lad serving, I was still half asleep, he greeted me with smile, helped me to order my breakfast, very pleasant manner. The food was delicious too, what a great start to my day! Thank you.
