The best restaurants

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 👌

23/10/2026: What a find! It came up on Google maps and we happened to drive past so decided to try it. I love Middle Eastern food and it didn’t disappoint. Service was great, excellent sized portion and so delicious. I would definitely eat there again and if you want good flavours beautifully presented, you won’t be disappointed!

19/10/2026: Best place ,tasty food ,nice staff , Mustafa actually made our day

20/10/2026: Nicest food I have ever eaten in my life the half lobster and deep fried ice cream is the best thing ever and the baked potato aswell is amazing couldn’t recommend more

17/10/2026: First visit. Definitely not the last. Very welcoming, food standard absolutely amazing

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!!

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.

11/10/2026: 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!😉

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.

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.

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

04/11/2026: I had an amazing experience during my barista course with Bartira! She was so patient, kind, and welcoming. The atmosphere was lovely, warm, and cozy, which made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the course. She explained everything so clearly and made the whole experience enjoyable. I’m so grateful for her kindness and patience. Highly recommend this course! ☕❤️

04/11/2026: Good class, good coffee, good company, i learned a lot about the make coffee and different coffee drinks

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 :)

19/10/2026: We went here twice. One for a date and second for our private intimate dinner in their private function upstairs many years ago. We and our guests were pleased. They have tasty food, good drinks and superb service.

18/10/2026: Virginia was absolutely fantastic, we celebrated a milestone birthday with our group and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Thank you to Bang for a wonderful celebration

21/10/2026: Wow, great place to eat fantastic steaks and service to match! Highly recommend. I had the ribeye and it was delicious. Great selection of wines and beers.

20/10/2026: Had dinner there tonight absolutely fantastic scallops and gambas where unbelievable. Service was impeccable will be back

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

17/10/2026: I’m a real stickler when it comes to steak. I’ve ordered it in countless restaurants, and honestly, I leave disappointed about 99% of the time. 1810 Steakhouse in Athlone belongs firmly in that rare 1% I would happily return to. My wife and I travelled from Birr, County Offaly. I ordered the T-bone with bone marrow mash and seasonal vegetables, and she had the striploin with the same sides. We both agreed, without hesitation, that these were the best steaks we have ever eaten in our lives. For someone who is so often disappointed when ordering steak, being able to say that means a lot. The bone marrow mash was a wonderful accompaniment, but the steaks were what made this a meal we’ll remember. This is the kind of restaurant you leave already planning your next visit. 1810 deserves recognition well beyond Athlone, and we’ll be recommending it to anyone who will listen. If you’re particular about your steak, make the journey. We did, and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

02/10/2026: Ordered 2 ribeyes (with lobster). They were very flavorful… but extremely tough to cut (lot of tendons). The “sauces” they come with aren’t sauces but herb butters that were hard as rocks and came right out of the refrigerator. Staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Oysters were very good… but the experience as a whole wasn’t great. For dry aged steaks (which I know a lot about)… these weren’t very good. Also paid 50 dollars to make a reservation… which they still charged me… they just took 50 dollars off the bill. In my humble opinion… they shouldn’t have charged me for the reservation at all because we showed up. The price paid for experience had… not worth it and ruined the meal. Would not come back again.
