The best restaurants

06/10/2026: Real genuine hospitality and exceptional quality 💛

06/10/2026: Excellent food and great service

09/10/2026: That’s what I call fish and chips!

25/09/2026: Great local restaurant on our doorstep .Castlemaine would be lost without Griffins. Great attention from Mark , Helen and staff. They have a great chef.

08/10/2026: Great food and atmosphere. Food was fresh and flavorful. Service was wonderful. Would definitely eat here again

03/10/2026: We came on McLeary's by chance. So glad we did. They don't take bookings but they suggested if we were there by 17.45 we would get a table. How right they were,by 18.00 it was full. They operate a very good wait system ,advising people to return at a given time. It works well,and certainly stops the 'no shows'. The food we had was probably the best in our recent 2 weeks in Ireland. Superb, totally recommend 👌

09/09/2026: The highlight of our Letterkenny trip was our dinner here. From the complimentary appetisers to dessert, the food and service was impeccable. Would go again!

08/09/2026: Once again superb, always with new tastes and very good wine. We'll be back for sure.

05/10/2026: Eaten here everyday since I’ve been in Dublin. Not only is it convenient to my hotel but it is actually good.

30/09/2026: Fantastic place! Food, service and atmosphere just amazing! Dermi, our server, was very friendly, attentive and was able to suggest us a right dish Keep in mind there is BYOB offer - just 8 euro per bottle of wine or champagne!

11/10/2026: On Thursday nights you can expect live entertainment in the bar. A fiddle, a squeeze box, a guitar, the music slowly builds through the evening, as does the atmosphere and before you go home there will be singing too. We ate, I had duck, John had scampi pulled that morning from Dingle Bay. Both were great but the duck was all meat (a common fault in these parts) and short on veg...for many a good fault but I love my vegetables and salad. The service, was good and the surroundings attractive.

08/10/2026: A wonderful place, and the gentleman who served us lunch today was incredibly kind and welcoming. Such a lovely experience!😉

16/10/2026: There was no roasted lamb leg; I was fooled by the AI. However, the seafood soup was delicious and had lots of ingredients.

16/10/2026: Very nice little place with nice people, I really liked it :)

11/10/2026: One of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had The staff are exceptional Second time out Opted for the 50 euro value menu Always wanting to try new non meat ( pescatarian ) options October Dinner Cured Seatrout, Cucumber and Apple Tartelette ******* Sourdough Bread with Roast and Pickled Walnut Butter ******* *Royale of Shiitake Mushroom, Crispy Mushroom, Sweetcorn Sauce ******* *Sage Gnudi with Uchi Kuri Squash and Cavolo Nero ******* *White Chocolate Bavarois, Jamaican Ginger Cake, Rhubarb Washed down nicely with 2 glasses of the locally brewed Pilsner Wide Street House Saison 440ml – Longford

07/10/2026: This beautiful place served the best meal I've ever had in my life. An unforgettable experience from the moment we walked through the door. Sasha was an amazing server! The food was not only a work of art but absolutely delicious! If I was at home with that stature food I would've licked the plate with no shame. Just absolutely perfect from start to finish. Get the ham hock with crispy egg, I insist!

21/10/2026: The food was actually amazing and the staff was very friendly and helpful

20/10/2026: Linda, very good food, very Bia

18/10/2026: This place is amazing. I’ve never had a Shepards pie that I’ve loved until I came to Cronin’s. Highly recommend. My husband got the sirloin with onions and mushrooms. He is celiac and they were very accommodating. Even brought gf bread out for him. He loved his meal as well.

17/10/2026: While exploring as much of Ireland as we possibly could, this was the only restaurant we actually went back to for a second night. It is that good.

11/07/2026: as a bus driver my group was very well looked after had parking kept for us and I must say the breakfast was really good the very best quality in breakfast I will certainly stop here again

07/07/2026: Sofia was amazing and attentive. Excellent food and beer

27/09/2026: Did this course yesterday. Very informative and helpful. Never realised there are so many steps to making a good coffee! Bartira has a great way of showing the practicalities involved. Small class and every step explained. After a hesitant start I gained confidence in my abilities. Would highly recommend 👌

26/09/2026: The barista course with Bartira was great!! It was full and rewarding considering we were all beginners. We all had time to try everything Bartira was teaching us and we could ask all the questions we had. And we could of course taste our own coffees. I’d recommend the course 100%! Thanks Again Bartira -Maïssa

23/09/2026: What a perfect, casual spot for our afternoon stop. The chicken pesto sandwich was fabulous with fresh ingredients and delicious homemade bread. The fantastic home baked cookies were the perfect ending!

22/09/2026: Best mocha I've had in Ireland!

17/10/2026: Wonderful place that accommodated my food allergies by making a special sauce for their seafood pasta for me (one of the best I’ve had). Very kind people and warm environment. :)

15/10/2026: A proper restaurant with people who love food, if you are wondering where to eat this is your place

03/10/2026: Really nice food and the portions were so generous. Highly recommend.

02/10/2026: Love love love this place. We arrived while it was pouring out, and they made accommodations to fit us in despite the fact that they were full. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. My mother asked how the pancetta was cooked and the lovely waitress came back with a summary from the chef on how to make it. This is a little hidden gem across the river from Temple Bar. From 3 Americans and 1 Spaniard …. This was the BEST Irish food we had all week!!
