The best restaurants

03/01/2026: Fantastic staff and food amazing 👏

23/12/2025: We quite frequently order pizzas from here ...staff is friendly...James n Magda were very nice..

10/04/2026: Excellent. True classic Irish pub - both look and feel. Absolutely packed at 5pm. Interior is beautiful. Definitely be back

10/04/2026: Always worth a visit, if only for 1 drink. Lots of old world charm. Tends to be busy, but the staff are very efficient and you won't wait long to be served. One of the better pints of Guiness to be had in the city.

21/04/2026: I've eaten at this restaurant several times when I've visited Howth, and it never disappoints. They have a wide menu, good quality ingredients, and friendly, attentive service. Plus, the price is excellent for the quality and quantity. The place is also spacious, with dining rooms and tables downstairs (as well as a bar area and terrace), and an upstairs area where you can also eat, even at high tables. I've had everything from fish and chips (crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside), to the fish of the day (they often have a special fish that isn't on the menu), the typical Irish mussels (delicious, with a white wine and cream sauce that's so good you'll want to keep dipping), and my favorite dish: a casserole with a base of crab and haddock (which is similar to cod) in a cream sauce, all baked au gratin and served with mashed potatoes. I think it's one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. If you're in Howth, this place is a must-visit for good food and a few pints.

21/04/2026: Busy pub just down from the cliff walk. Hence the popularity. Large menu with too many options. A cup of soup to warm up and continue on with your day.

25/07/2025: Visited with my mum today and Pat’s Cafe truly exceeded our expectations! The staff were incredibly attentive and lovely from the moment we stepped in, making us feel right at home. The décor is tasteful and spotless, creating a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. Our meals were fantastic—the portions were absolutely huge and delicious, perfect for anyone who loves great food. You couldn’t ask for nicer people or a better dining experience. The only tip I’d offer: bring cash, as it keeps things simple. A fantastic business we’ll be eager to return to!

19/07/2025: Always great service and standard

18/04/2026: Great and fantastic surprise. Excellent food and brilliant service. What a brilliant place

17/02/2026: Fantastic restaurant. Love overall atmosphere, friendly staff. The food is persistently amazing, mindfully prepared, every dish is perfectly balanced, outstanding presentation. Thank you for the experience ❤️

28/12/2025: Excellent coffee and really friendly, welcoming staff. Nice range of freshly baked pastries. Great opening hours over the holidays :)

27/12/2025: Such a cool spot. Bartender was super cool and the vibes were excellent. Didn't get any food as the pizza was sold out but still a great time

28/04/2026: Called last Saturday during the food festival. Had the Ken McGrath burger. Delicious and great value at E16. Great service and very helpful staff. Charged my phone at the bar no bother. We call now and again and always a pleasure.

26/04/2026: Nice bar right in the centre of the square with a great atmosphere. The food was very good and reasonably priced, especially for such a busy spot. It was quite lively when we visited, which added to the overall experience. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Dungarvan.

04/04/2026: A great place that was perfect for us when it was pouring rain. Maik and Julie were fabulous and genuinely warm as our servers. The beer was delicious and the atmosphere was very cozy with a fireplace. We ordered a platter with fries, wings, wontons, and a spring roll, which was easily enough for two people and cost about €12. Cash only! The afternoon cost us about €40 in total (one platter and four beers).

31/03/2026: Great experience! The service was perfect and the atmosphere was really great. Lots of fun jokes on the wall and sport on the TVs.

20/04/2026: always a pleasure drinking a creamy pint here

16/04/2026: Enjoyed are evening so much we returned for a 2nd night. Annette behind the bar was attentive and fun to chat with. Loved the West Wind duo with the pipes. Well poured drinks and cozy atmosphere!

29/03/2026: Nice little restaurant. Service was great all round. First course pâté was the best I've had in a long time. The scallops were perfectly cooked, went well with everything else on the plate, and the roe was left on (ideal). The lamb pastry and the crispy coconut rice dishes were very nice. The inconsistency in the size of the garnish on the rice was a bit weird though and felt unfitting. Halibut dish was alright. Every element of the dish was amazing, except for the halibut itself. Just a bit plain and a bit overcooked for me. Guinea fowl was lovely. Poached pear dessert was amazing. The baked Alaska was world class. Good portion sizes. I see myself returning

22/02/2026: Myself and my husband had a lovely meal in The Cottage restaurant this evening. The food was exceptional. Very tasty. Service was fantastic- waitresses and waiter were very attentive. We will be back and will certainly be recommending this restaurant to family and friends.

26/01/2026: Really great experience in Hong Hop last night! There was a decent enough crowd of us, 10 in total, and the whole staff were really welcoming and accommodating throughout the whole evening. The service was top class, can't thank them enough for how they looked after us.I found the food to be really good, and there's lots of options available so everyone can find something. Would definitely go back again!

23/01/2026: Liked the food, the staff. Not too expensive

01/12/2025: Absolutely gorgeous food, great coffee and a chill casual atmosphere! I loved the porridge and the avocado toast with poached eggs was great! Will definitely be back time and again!

01/12/2025: Great little local cafe full of delicious healthy options .

19/04/2026: I loved the experience! The pub has a really cozy atmosphere, perfect for going out with friends or just relaxing after a long day. The music was great, the service was friendly and quick, and the drinks were well made. I also really enjoyed the menu options — everything was delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back!
