The best restaurants

03/07/2026: We just finished our trip, and we all agreed that, of all the places we visited—Paris, Amsterdam, and Ireland—Castle Leslie was the highlight. Every detail of the estate felt intentional and personal. The attention to detail was extraordinary, and the interior design throughout the property was incredible. We stayed in the Mews, while my parents stayed in the Lodge. The thoughtful breakfast basket each morning, filled with fresh Irish bread, homemade jams, fruit, and other treats, was such a wonderful touch. Our cottage was fully equipped with a washer and dryer and every appliance we needed, making it feel like a true home away from home. Dinner at Snaffles and afternoon tea were both absolutely perfect. The staff were incredible—warm, attentive, and clearly worked tirelessly to make every guest feel welcome. This was our first visit, and next time we'll be sure to book the falconry, archery, and horseback riding well in advance. One tip for future visitors: check the wedding schedule before you book to make sure the castle will be open during your stay. We especially loved walking home to the Mews after dinner each evening and taking our daily walks around the lake. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Castle Leslie for making our stay so memorable. Your warmth, hospitality, and attention to every detail made this a truly unforgettable experience. We can't wait to return in the future.

25/07/2026: I came to Ireland and couldn't find any Thai food I liked until I found this place! I was so happy. I ordered without thinking twice: stir-fried shrimp with basil and a fried egg, beef noodles, papaya salad, and coffee. Um, I forgot to even consider if I could finish it all! Haha. I just ate until I was completely full. Actually, I wanted to get the fermented fish papaya salad, but I was worried my companion would be shocked. 😆😆💚💚🇮🇪🇮🇪👑

17/06/2026: Delicious food with large portions at amazing prices, the French toast was heavenly and my buddy who eats like a horse could barely finish the small Irish breakfast. Coffee was perfect too!

01/06/2026: Called in today with a couple of friends for an Irish breakfast after running the Cork city half marathon. Have nothing but good words to say about this place. We were greeted by a lovely man who we had a great laugh with. Food was cooked & served by him in a timely manner and it was delicious. He had us all licking the plates clean! I cannot recommend enough!
