The best restaurants

29/12/2024: Right in the centre of the Downings town… the restaurant ambiance is lovely and food options are really good even for vegetarians… food was yummy and staff was smiling and helpful…

05/11/2024: Was here with a group of 17 on Saturday evening for food and drink, the service was exceptional from start to finish. The food was excellent as well, will definitely be back 👏👏

27/01/2025: Great little cafe, they do a great vanilla chai latte,the staff are pleasant. first time tasting the food. The sandwich was very tasty, it was stuffed with ingredients and went down a treat, even the dog was impressed with the offering by Barrow Blend. I will return again and again 🙏

02/01/2025: Best coffee, sandwiches and cakes

21/01/2025: Ireland is greatly lacking in places where you can get a decent pie. First time at the Black Market so decided to try these guys. I had the Beef & Beamish pie meal (side of mash with some slaw & salad). The pie was delicious and the mash was smooth and creamy. Service was fast and I liked that the packaging was recyclable. A little pricey for what it is but will definitely go back.

21/10/2024: I was in Cork for a day trip and came across The Pie Guys in the black market totally by accident. Situated in a really cool building with other food vendors I was immediately impressed by the vibe of the market . More importantly in The Pie Guys ,the Cheesy kiwi Pie, mash and slaw was the best pie and mash i have ever had !The presentation and taste were top class. You have to try this place, you won’t be disappointed.I look forward to visiting again on my next visit to Cork : )

12/02/2025: Best BBQ Spot in Dublin – Hands Down! If you're looking for the best BBQ in Dublin, look no further—this place is absolutely insane. The food was fing amazing*—juicy, tender, and packed with smoky, mouthwatering flavor in every single bite. You can tell they take their time with the meat because it just falls apart effortlessly, and the seasoning is spot on. Everything was next-level good. The sides? Just as incredible. Whether it was mac and cheese, slaw, or cornbread, every bite was a hit. And the sauces? Perfection. Sweet, tangy, spicy—whatever you’re into, they’ve got it, and it takes the meat to another level. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was chill, and the portions were generous. If you love BBQ, you need to eat here. Best BBQ in Dublin, no question!

17/12/2024: Combo’s are quiet good. Pizzas taste awesome.

01/02/2025: Great pint of Guinness and very friendly staff very clean and toilets spotless

03/11/2024: Visited from Canada and stumbled in here just passing through . The bar keep was an excellent fellow to chat with for stories and recommendations. Guinness pint was spot on and the soup of the day was delicious !

24/09/2024: We just stopped for a pint. It was reasonably priced and cheaper than Dublin. The toilets were spotless and looked like they had recently been refurbished. Happy to stop again.

20/09/2024: Irish stew was cold. Seafood showder should called potato soup. Expensiv.

19/02/2025: Best pizza in Wicklow by a country mile. Always enjoy our visit to Enso. My daughter does not eat pizza from anywhere else but will go close to finishing an entire Enso margerita herself.

04/02/2025: Great Pizza ..coffee and cakes fab ..staff are friendly a go to in Greystones for sure.👏

18/02/2025: We spent 2 nights in Carrick on Shannon the 1st night we went into Gracies bar there was a 1 man band playing and omg he blew me away that we had to go back and listen to him a second night... Liam Fitz definitely was 1 of the best 1 man bands I've ever heard..... I'd highly recommend if he us advertised to play in Gracies go see him u won't be disappointed ❤️❤️

31/01/2025: Gorgeous coffee shop, two very friendly and accommodating girls working today. Unreal quality coffee and açai bowls and chicken toasties with a few crisps on the side. The girls were so accommodating when my mom wanted an extra tea bag etc. very good prices. thanks a mil!

20/11/2024: I stop in Chill The Bean on the Ennis road quite often for some breakfast and a nice strong coffee to start my morning, especially when I’m working in the area. The staff are always in top form and so polite. If I had to say one negative thing it would only be that the banoffee over night oats sell out too quickly 🙈 that flavour is my absolute favourite, it’s delicious.
