The best restaurants

17/05/2026: A fantastic place to come and eat

15/05/2026: Live music from 5-7 pm and 9-11 pm. Traditional Irish dancing. Good food!

21/05/2026: Lovely stay at the Mespil. Great rooms and excellent breakfast. Quite location (15-20 minutes from centre) but plenty of great restaurants around.

18/05/2026: If ever in Dublin n u want a hotel that is really modern n nice... but close enough to walk OR even catch a Hop On Hop Off bus at St Stephens Green... go for this Hotel. The room was amazing n the staff were so friendly n helpful, it made my stay so welcoming in Dublin. The Breakfast Buffet had such a great selection AND I could even order a Cappuccino or a Latte! Not brewed coffee! Cocktail at the Bar was good too. The Mespil Hotel to me, was a home away from home (I am from Australia).. n the establishment certainly understands the value of making guests feel this. If I ever came back to Dublin this will be the hotel I will stay in. Highly recommended.

17/05/2026: Extremely friendly staff, food is always tasty and delicious. Would highly recommend - Jonathan Bracken.

18/04/2026: Very disappointed with my order this evening, the chicken korma had no flavour was not nice at all, the nann bread was mostly burnt, the onion bhaji was very good snd the staff taking the orders very lovely and polite but a waste of 28euro to go in the bin

15/05/2026: Amazing place. Juan was an amazing host. :)

15/05/2026: Service is fast and the waiters are helpful. The food and drinks are delicious. J. R. Mahon’s sour and espresso martini are the best drinks to get. Ana is a great server!

02/06/2026: Called in on Thursday for the sandwich deal. Sandwich & coffee were both lovely and great value. Lovely service as always. Highly recommend :)

19/05/2026: I give this place five stars for one Ciara to another. Btw food was also yum yum 😋

15/06/2026: Charming spot by the water. Beamish on tap. Great fish pie. Very nice service.

08/06/2026: Really good food ! The crab claws were so good, in a flavorful creamy sauce, and the fish&chips was really crispy and fresh. Nice place for a lunch.

15/06/2026: Lovely restaurant with delicious food and the servers are lovely very friendly, I recommend the meat ravioli it is delicious

08/06/2026: I was in Westport with 4 friends celebrating my birthday and wanted a meal in a nice restaurant. I had no idea about La Bella Vita beforehand but it looked good from the outside and, although it lacked the usual Italian staples - bolognese, lasagna etc - the menu looked interesting. It totally surpassed all expectations. Everything tasted very fresh, was cooked to perfection and, for the quality, the bill was very reasonable. I thoroughly recommend La Bella Vita.

03/06/2026: What a great Irish pub. The front side is a traditional Irish pub and there’s a great beer garden at the back. So much fun.

02/06/2026: We didn't eat. But there is a pizza service on site.

03/01/2026: Great old Dublin pub, a must visit when in Dublin. Great atmosphere, excellent service and nice food at very good prices

01/01/2026: Nice bar with authentic old school features. Appreciated the lack of TV's and music. The Bar staff were indifferent at best and the vitamin G was just fine but not outstanding. Kitchen was closed so could not try the food, chef apparently is in "rehab"!

10/06/2026: The royal is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! The wings are really good! Big portions! Deffo worth the money! And the views of the sea are fab!

10/06/2026: Great burger, wings and chips, big portions and lovely view

22/05/2026: Such a lovely pub with a nice outdoor area at the back. The service was very good (fast) and the food was delicious. The steak sandwich in particular was amazing.

21/05/2026: Popped in on speck today for lunch and we were not disappointed. Cooked to perfection Fillet steak sandwich was to die for . Fast efficient snd friendly staff . Highly recommend it

30/11/2025: My wife, my son and I stayed in Dublin two weeks ago, when we were over from England for the Ireland v Australia rugby game. We were in Searsons on Friday and Saturday and loved it. Its true what they say, the Guinness tastes better in Ireland. We were made to feel very welcome at Searsons and would like to especially mention a member of staff - Muirin who was fabulous. We will definitely be back for another Ireland game and be sure to visit Searsons again.

28/11/2025: Very cool place and a great piece of History! Awesome vibe!

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.

16/06/2026: Lovely pub. Lovely staff and great food.

13/06/2026: The pub offers excellent food. We were passing by. We ordered Seafood Chower and Beef stew. I liked beef stew better, it's little salty, but with combination of mashed potato, it was perfect.

20/05/2026: My wife was on a ridiculously nice trip with her mom and sister last year and they wound up having dinner at Davy Byrne’s. She loved Ireland enough she surprised me with a trip here for a ten-day tour and last Sunday when we arrived in Dublin we dropped our bags at the hotel and walked off to Davy Byrne. I have a serious weakness for good Irish pub fare and I’ll be damned if Davy’s beef and Guinness pie was not one of if not the finest I’ve ever had. We went on our holiday and arrived back to the same overnight home away from home and she had already asked if I wanted dinner in the same place two days ago. Davy does not disappoint- the first night (Sunday) they had a full house but found us a place outside where we struck up conversation with another couple on their way back home. The service was lovely, the food exceptional. Not only is the gravy in the pie something that deserves a beautiful Irish folk song or six written in its honor, as they put a simply amazing little secret in the sauce (okay, it’s Chorizo. Not as in Mexican chorizo but the most holy Spanish chorizo which contributes to a sumptuously rich decadence which must be experienced rather than read about,) but they also serve an amazing brown bread. I’ve just eaten pies all over the country (literally seven in ten days l) and I’ve eaten the freshest and most delectable of bread for thirty meals straight now. I do not exaggerate when I opine Davy Byrne’s brown bread will be spoken of for 700 years or so and then revisited for further discussion. I feel I must go compose a ballad about the mystical perfection I’m now savoring in my belly as I lie down, virtually unable to move. Yes, in keeping with the Irish tradition, it’s enough food to feed a small family of seven, so I’m nearly incapacitated, but gloriously so. As a footnote I should mention that the seared spinach was perfectly done, the Guinness tap is in perfect order and the staff again was charming, lovely and entirely on point. I admit I may have had a wee bit of doubt because it’s in such a touristy area, but there is a very fine reason or a whole bunch of em anyway for the award plaques in the window. Without reservation I highly recommend Davy Byrne’s, tho I would recommend you make them! We got lucky as walk-ins twice but next time I’ll make them. Slainte!

20/05/2026: To be fair, the food was good and we enjoyed it. I also completely understand that this is a business and that table turnover is crucial in busy central locations. However, manners and hospitality still matter. We were already visibly preparing to leave when the staff aggressively dropped a 'Reserved' sign right on our table. It was entirely unnecessary, uncalled for, and felt incredibly disrespectful. There are polite ways to manage table times; treating customers like a number on a conveyor belt is not one of them. Good kitchen, but extremely poor service standards.
