The best restaurants

06/09/2025: Very high quality food and nice ambiance. Both breakfast and lunch have lovely options

05/09/2025: EDIT: as of writing this, this locale no longer serves food. Bummer :( Genuinely the best pizza I've ever eaten, I believe they have a genuine pizza firing oven, conventional ovens simply can't beat that. The serving staff are all very kind and efficient as well. Whenever I have an excuse to go there for a Pizza and coffee, I gladly do. Highly recommended, 11/10.

12/08/2025: One of the best pubs I’ve been in Ireland. Great atmosphere! The owners are such a nice couple that makes you feel at home, and the service is great! Perfect to gather with friends, family, partner or just to stop by for a drink. And it has a billiard hall and a music box!!

25/07/2025: A truly wonderful pub with a lovely atmosphere. We had a really good time there. Thanks Mary (Mamma Mia 😉) and Mick!

17/09/2025: We always stop here as it is so easy to access the toilets and the food is always hot and fresh. It’s also very easy to park.

01/09/2025: Fresh cod and chips meal is highly recommended and they travel well as a home delivery option.

03/09/2025: One of the only 2 places for an outdoor pint in Lahinch

30/08/2025: We had a round at Lahinch Golf club and one of the caddies recommended we head to Frawley’s bar after the round for a “proper pint.” We had the best creamy pint of our trip and had an absolute incredible experience. The owner of the bar, Peter, sat with us telling stories, and spent time explaining how to properly pour a pint of Guinness. Shout out to the locals who we had so much fun with, and to Thomas N in particular who could actually be the Irish Shivas Irons. This was a supper fun and welcoming bar where you can get a proper pint. I absolutely recommend to anyone in Lahinch.

25/05/2025: Nice place clean and tidy kind staff and a great place to have a game of snooker with dad. Food and drinks included

03/05/2025: Great pub. Super staff Pla ce TO WATCH aLL SPORT dubs v offaly. Monday 3p. Semi finai u20 hurling

27/06/2025: Pleasant layout above the pub, so you can have a drink before or after your meal. Our party of five can heartily recommend the specials at 35 euros for three courses, the fish dishes in particular were excellent. Service was very good. Interestingly, there were no condiments on the table, perhaps it's a culinary statement but as the seasoning was good there was no issue. Reasonable wine list. Definitely worth a visit.

27/06/2025: Laurel in Blackrock is a fantastic restaurant tucked away above the pub—a real hidden gem. The food is absolutely amazing, beautifully presented on elegant plates that make the whole experience feel special. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with care. The atmosphere upstairs is stylish and relaxed, perfect for a nice evening out. The only downside is the music, which comes from the pub below and doesn’t quite match the refined setting of the restaurant. Still, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. Definitely worth a visit!

26/07/2025: The best blaas in Waterford, fresh from the oven. They do a variety of breads, rolls, and some buns too. Excellent quality.

02/10/2025: Very lovely people, welcoming, gave us some milk for our tea the next morning when we got in late at night. Highly recommend to anyone. Real Irish hospitality.

08/09/2025: We took a detour to check out this pub on a Friday evening hoping for some live music and good craic. Absolutely worth it. Fantastic stouts, service, music, and atmosphere. Kinvarra is quite beautiful too! Hope to be back some day!

04/11/2025: Had the best time here with my friend . Although the table was a bit small , our waiter ,Anthony & Breno tried to make space for us . The food was GREAT ! And budget friendly , we both had two drinks and a meal each and the total was under a 100! Will be back for sure !

02/11/2025: Fantastic Sunday brunch with my family of 4. Two children (4&6) looked after so well. Amazing food & service as always. Thank you to Anthony Breno and the team for looking after us so well.

18/10/2025: Stopped here to get some food and a rapid charge as there is one ESB rapid charger. The portions were a good size and it was good value for money.

17/09/2025: Very pleasant hotel within walking distance of town centre. Staff pleasant and welcoming. Rooms clean and comfortable. Would recommend.

25/10/2025: Visited Sweet Baking Mama on a Saturday late morning for breakfast with a companion who recommended it after a visit some time ago. It was not our 1st choice for breakfast in Carlow but our favourite place had stopped serving breakfast at 11.30 so we came to visit. I was impressed by the options on offer for breakfast. I chose the Waterford blaa filled with egg bacon and sausage. My companion chose an omelette with one filling. The blaa came in two small portions each filled with layers of sausage, fried egg and bacon and looked perfect from the outside. I was very excited by this excellent presentation of breakfast and started to eat the blaa by picking it up and biting into it. I immediately suspected something was wrong! I examined the contents of the blaa. The bacon and sausage were cooked to perfection. Bravo Chef! Unfortunately the fried egg was well below acceptable standard. The yoke of the egg was cooked solid and fell out of the egg when I picked it up on a fork. The white of the egg was burned to a crisp on the bottom. The humble egg deserves more respect in the cooking process than it got by the Chef/Cook on my visit. I would not recommend Sweet Baking Mama for the quality of their fried eggs and will not visit again for fried egg.

23/10/2025: Great people there at that shop,I wanted to surprise someone with a cake and i gave them very very late notice and they still made it happen for me delivered and all on time , customer service brilliant 👌
