The best restaurants

09/04/2026: I am not really sure about traditional irish but I don't think this is it. I had the seafood chowder and he had the monk fish. There was no real theme to the menu, some irish steaks, Thai food.... the inside is decorated worldly with no real irish theme. The tablecloths have Fleur De lis so I was a little stumped.

09/04/2026: Very odd place. Not any real theme to the cuisine or the restaurant. Had a few Irish chicken dishes, a couple Thai selections and a few Italian selections. Service was friendly but just so so. We entered at what should have been a busy dinner time and the place was dead. After ordering, I can understand why. Long wait to get food and there was literally no one else in the building when we ordered. Wife ordered 2 appetizers, fried brie and seafood chowder. Both were good but nothing special. I had the roasted Monk fish wrapped in Ham w/muscles and prawn. Should have been called shrimp instead, they were very small as were the muscles. It was OK but overcooked. Rubbery and chewy. The decor was very chaotic as well. Just random oddities like a picture of Lyndon B Johnson with some unrecognizable people, an Indian Lamp, table cloths with French flur-de-lis. Just nothing fit together. I would not recommend this establishment. Enter at your own risk. You've been warned.

17/10/2025: Love taking a trip up here best scones and coffee around the hills.

12/10/2025: I loved it! My second favorite coffee shop in all of Dublin. It has lovely booths where you can eat. You have to wait, especially on Saturdays because it's always busy, but you'll find somewhere. It's a magical place, and everything is now decorated with pumpkins and autumn motifs. The prices are quite reasonable considering the beautiful location, located in South Dublin in the Dublin Mountains. I ordered a Spice Pumpkin Latte, and it was one of the most delicious I've ever had. They also have a variety of sandwiches, and they also have overnight oats. It would be nice if they offered a salad! I went by car, and they have plenty of parking.

10/04/2026: We spent a wonderful week's holiday at the Horse and Hound and were delighted by the outstanding hospitality. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, and they even accommodated special requests, such as those related to lactose intolerance. The rooms are comfortably furnished and clean, and we found the beds very comfortable. The free parking directly behind the hotel was also very convenient. We were particularly impressed by the Irish music evening in the pub, which was truly authentic and not a tourist show at all. Thank you for the wonderful time! The Meurer Family

06/04/2026: Terrific good and very friendly staff in a fresh well maintained venue

02/05/2026: Food was nice but it was quite expensive for what you got. 25€ for eggs and a coffee. With hindsight I should have checked the bill closer

26/04/2026: fast service even though it was crowded and the staff was really sweet. Unique and tasty food, worth a try!

21/09/2025: Nice, little coffee truck. Great cappuccino!

13/09/2025: Great coffee, sweet location :)

27/12/2025: Great food and great service! Everything was so tasty and the price is also excellent for what you get!

19/12/2025: This is one of my favorite places to eat in Dublin, it's an amazing place to go regularly because it's so cosy, reliable and affordable and usually you can get a table without booking except on Thursday or weekend evenings/nights. The lasagnes are all delicious and well priced, the atmosphere is generally amazing and the staff are usually quite nice. The menu is very simple and the wines are all delicious, even the cheapest wine by glass is delicious. Some areas of improvement are ensuring to actually heat up the lasagnes, I've received it cold multiple times over the past few years. This should be checked in advance of serving, to bring bread with the lasagne, to put the cocktails in nicer glasses and sometimes the spritz don't usually water that is sparkly enough.

03/01/2026: Best pub in Killarney and extremely dog friendly! Couldn’t recommend more a visit here!

11/12/2025: Good vibes. Good drink and banging toasted cheese sandwiches.

04/05/2026: My wife and I stopped here for dinner after arriving to Dublin from a long flight. The service, food, and atmosphere were all excellent. The salad was very fresh, and duck breast was cooked perfectly, would highly recommend!

03/05/2026: 10/10 Experience ⭐ Originally booked in for 7.00pm but was in the area early, decided to chance our arm for a table at 6.00pm instead and they immediately accommodated us. Began with crusty bread, olives and pesto. Followed by the French onion soup - perfect Gruyère/onion ratio. Then got the sirloin steak with fries - paired with a glass of the Bordeaux Superieur was heaven! Finished with the chocolate tart - the amarena cherries were fabulous, it was a pity it only came with two. Then they give you some homemade dark chocolate to finish. A complete foodie dream ❤️ servers were lovely and the interior was trés chic. See you soon la maison!!

08/03/2026: Stopped in for a pint of Guinness as I heard it's one of the best in Westport. Definitely didn't disappoint

03/03/2026: Really great trad musicians in a specially designated "listening area" of the pub

02/04/2026: It was excellent , great food, great staff

02/04/2026: Beautiful place and afternoon tea was delicious 😋

04/04/2026: Strongly suspect that the walk in policy only applies to tourists, and that the locals can book ahead. Bit of a shame to have missed out, but wasn’t meant to be

04/04/2026: Not walk in only. Very clearly not. Do not expect to walk in. Watched the Instagram on the day which said they were opening at 6pm. Walked in at 7.20 as a pair. People in front were told a 2+ hour wait with no guarantee, we were told no sorry, come back another day. What stood out is almost all of the seating was used by 2 large parties (balloons etc.) and I seriously doubt they had shown up that evening and casually grabbed the place. All up was disappointing because we were super excited, had messaged them earlier etc etc. Yet just not reliable enough to commit to and would tell others not to take the gamble - particularly not if you’re a tourist who are lower priority.

06/05/2026: We had a lovely afternoon yesterday celebrating Emilia's confirmation. The table was decorated with balloons and Emilia was given a gift and card as she sat down, lovely touches and made her day ❤️ Special mention to Stacey who looked after us so well! The food was gorgeous and we all left with full bellies and delighted with a lovely afternoon

05/05/2026: Good value, good service. Not a fan of their boiled/roasted veg, but I’d probably be in a minority of their clients. Good place for Sunday lunch and an even better place for an early evening meal weekdays.

13/11/2025: A really cool place with great food and a lovely atmosphere.

10/11/2025: Lovely little café that caters for breakfast and lunch. Great coffees too. You order downstairs and then find a table upstairs. Cute decor, helpful staff and great healthy food options. Have a look at the small store afterwards.

05/04/2026: Myself and my wife stayed in the chester Beatty on Easter Saturday night On arrival we were met in reception by two very welcoming gentlemen. Check in took about one minute or less, asked if we needed to book table for food as the car park was fairly full, we were told there would be no problem just go in when ready. We went to our room which was absolutely spotless and warm. Food was wonderful, fast and the staff couldn't have been nicer. We had a couple of drinks later in the bar which were lovely aswell with bar staff were great. After a very good sleep we had breakfast which was perfect in every way. Definitely visit again. Most friendly staff ever Martin and Betty Dempsey Wexford

24/03/2026: As a local who has visited many times, I was extremely disappointed with my most recent visit. I ordered the "smash burger" and what I received was anything but a smash burger. The two patties on the burger were at least 3/4" thick and were cooked to death (well done to the point it was like trying to eat shoe leather). Other than this the other aspects of the meal were to the usual standard we expect, wings, sides and sauces, etc were fine and enjoyable, and my partner enjoyed her food. The staff were lovely and very friendly, but they missed several blatant warning signs they should have spotted (such as taking pictures of the food, laughing and braking it apart with hands and leaving basically an entire main untouched because it was inedible). It was a Sunday and it was very busy and as I said the staff were great and could not fault their customer service... but as a retired hospitality professional myself, I can't imagine how a chef could have let food be prepared that badly, let alone leave the pass and be served to a customer. Very disappointed as I hold Chesters in very high regard and we regularly recommend our own guests (we run a B&B in the local area) go to Chesters for dinner because we have never had a fault in the past. Again it was a Sunday and it was busy but I really couldn't get over how poor the burger was. Staff were great as mentioned above and was a good ambiance and prices are reasonable as always!

20/04/2026: We really enjoyed it. The food was very good and the service from Manuela and Pepe was excellent.

19/04/2026: Wow!! Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The staff are so friendly and attentive. There’s a lovely atmosphere. The food is on another level. Absolutely beautiful..We ordered a platter for 2. The flavours were amazing. We will definitely be back. I’d highly recommend.
