The best restaurants

27/06/2026: We went for lunch around 3:30 PM and were served quickly. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful.

12/06/2026: The food lacked flavour. People on tables around me were all leaving their potatoes and veg. And the chips were reported as very dry.

15/09/2026: Sophie's is an amazing place, great atmosphere and great service. The only criticism is that the French Toast is way too simple to be €17, I'd recommend adding some cream or whipped cream to make it worth it the price. Mine came with 2 small Toast, 2 sliced strawberries and syrup. Apart of that, everything else is great!!

14/09/2026: A lovely birthday evening for drinks at Sophie’s. A big thank you to Mario for his hospitality and looking after us on my partner’s birthday! We had already ate, therefore just drinks but would definitely return for a meal! Amazing atmosphere as well.

25/07/2026: This is an experienced chef (20 yrs) , entrepreneur and athlete's (calisthenist) review: We went there around 2.30pm. I don't know where to start. - tables were dirty with birds poos never cleaned in life I can say -few lads and teens pretending to be their chefs with their daily hoodies and track suits who meet 0 requirement of Food Safety and Hygiene requirements -their kitchen was as filthy as you can imagine - drinks were not in the fridge. they gave to us possibly directly from the case. Don't think they have fridge -No one knows what is going on behind the scene in your food and in their kitchen -I don't know how they are allowed like that by HSE inspectors -Nothing is grilled. It was not flame, char or flame grilled. IT IS HOT PLATE FRIED. COOKING SOMETHING ON HOT PLATE IS FRYING NOT GRILLING. Please remove the flame logo off your sign. - zero sanitary and hygiene care seen around -their prep area and stainless steel by the fryer were as moldy and filthy as you can imagine the list goes on - all sauces were from Sysco and Musgrave. They do not make any sauces. They put stickers on their dips and pretend it is their signature sauce. FOOD: We ordered classic burgers as described. They seemed around 50% fat 50% meat and some black pepper. Nothing else was in marination. Whether the meat was fresh or not or from when, God knows. ''the caramalized'' onion was pre cooked. Despite around 50% animal fat, lotsa of frying oil, cheese were added on the top patty. The beef was simply fried in oil I can say. Finally, this was given to us. The excess animal fat was smelling strongly disgusting.One bite, it was horrible. It could be perfect food for obese and junk food eating people not for people who know what food and what and how to eat food. we kept cleaning ours hands with wet tissue in the car. but we could not. we had to use perfume spray to kill the animal fat odour. Finally, I have to say, we WILL FAST FOR 72 hours but prefer not to eat such a junk food from such a filthy street atmosphere and such unprofessional and un-cleanly dressed staff, teens! IF YOU WANT TO DO AUTHENTIC AND PROPERLY PROFESSIONAL BURGER, THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: FREE RECEIPE Marination: use 20% fat, 80% lean. use black, cumin, cajun spice, 7 spice, ground coriander, fresh coriander, fresh tomato tiny dice, tiny white diced onion, fresh garlic cloves not paste, salt, mix them and let them rest as least a hour. -Grill it ON FIRE/FLAME not HOT plate -toast your burger buns -make your suaces

04/07/2026: came across this place called hunger Hub in sandyford, was craving a smash burger so I thought why not. I'm not kidding I've had burgers from meat castles, five guys, Bleeker, black bear, shake shack, high joint, manna, supernova, junk, bake street literally can go on with all the places I've tried and I can honestly say in terms of actual meat flavour and taste this is probably one of my top 5. I had there double smash along with chicken strips and I was shocked by how good that burger was and for a fraction of a price with other places. Also if you go up the stairs there a great drinks places aswell. Absolutely phenomenal burger definitely visiting again

15/08/2026: Gorgeous food and lovely friendly staff.

13/08/2026: Wonderful food and lovely staff. Had a great experience.

31/08/2026: Quite a lovely experience. Staff were immaculate, so extremely attentive and friendly from the get go. Our main was out within the first 30 mins of our booking (after devouring the lovely pork belly starter prior). I had the mushroom tagliatelle which was very delicious but extremely cheesy which made me feel quite sick and I couldn't finish it sadly. My partner had the steak which he enjoyed and it did taste amazing. We shared a bottle of wine between us which was gorgeous too! €120 for two mains, a starter and a bottle of wine which isn't too bad! The hotel itself is very classy and the bar area seemed nice and was quite busy on the Friday night so we didn't stop in. The only problem I had with the hotel is that the ladies toilets are a bit old and could use with a refurbishment. Awkward layout and not a lot of cubicles. Overall, I really recommend Helena's! I would come back again on another occasion.

27/08/2026: Staff and vibe great but food poor quality, badly executed and overpriced, light bites in the bar top clase

15/09/2026: Quite simply, probably one of the best looking Pubs that I have ever been to.

11/09/2026: Great pub with excellent Guinness!
