The best restaurants

24/07/2026: This place was recommended to me by my host, and it was actually very good! I tried an espresso martini and I have to say it was very well made. The waiter was very polite and we exchanged a few words with him.

29/04/2026: Went here on a recommendation and I was not disappointed we got the aranchini, nachos and wings the aranchini was lovely came with a nice light cheesy sauce, the nachos were fresh as were the toppings the chilli was more savory then spicy but was a great compliment to the dish the wings were delicious came out piping hot and so juicy good bit heat off the buffalo sauce but not to much. The staff that served us were lovely and friendly very attentive even thou its was a busy evening. I would recommend a visit based off of my experience there and I will definitely be back.

06/06/2026: This is the most incredible value lunch i have had in a long time. Stopped off with my mother and we both had their burger with salad and fries, which we split between both of us. And it was just 9.99 each. It was really good quality food and the service was top notch. i will definitely call in here next time.I'm back in ireland.

19/05/2026: A Charming little bar in the village of Kilmaanogue in the shadows of the Sugarloaf only room for possibly 30 people But the atmosphere and staff are first class and the Pint of Guinness is excellent 👍

23/08/2026: a campus where you can stay overnight during school holidays. former prison

19/08/2026: Many thanks to Joseph Byrne from the IT support desk. True MVP!

10/05/2026: Great service, friendly staff, reasonable price. Great covered over outdoor space when its too busy indoors.

20/04/2026: Excellent food, I can only recommend it. Great food 👌

27/06/2026: The service really makes this place! You get greeted and taken to a table which is so lovely. Table service even if you just want drinks. Thank you to the staff for being so welcoming! Also a really good price for a pint in Dublin!

30/05/2026: Had a Jameson mixed drink, think he forgot the whiskey. Zero smell, zero taste but well paid. Went to the club on the opposite site and ordered the same drink. Hypothesis proved. Charming pub though and friendly server. But 10€ for a drink that tastes of nothing but ginger ale is a joke.

12/09/2026: I went to Ruby’s yesterday and, unfortunately, it was a real disappointment. The service was good as always, but the food was simply unacceptable. I had recommended the restaurant to someone I know because I had spoken so highly of it, and I honestly felt embarrassed afterwards. The piece of meat we were served was an oddly shaped lump, full of tough gristle and extremely difficult to eat. It was simply very disappointing, especially considering the reputation of the restaurant. I really expected much better.

09/09/2026: Nice place good food not expensive,

02/09/2026: Gorgeous breakfast and service was fabulous ! Will def be back 👏🏻👏🏻

02/09/2026: A real gem in Swords, we meet for brunch. Pros, food good, great selection, service good, prices reasonable, can reserve a table for a group. Why not try it out. Staff are always helpful, they have high chairs for toddlers. Cons.....

22/06/2026: Delicious breakfast burrito and Italian job sandwich, creamy latte and very friendly staff.

27/05/2026: I hade the double bacon burger and it was the best I ever had.

20/06/2026: Concert weekend with my daughter, spacious enough twin room. Very warm with no AC but fan provided. Pillows aren't the best but all in all great location, pretty hotel, staff helpful and friendly. Didn't eat so can't comment on food but for good, decent hotel in temple bar I'd recommend and would stay again.

31/05/2026: After checking into our room on our honeymoon, room was extremely hot no AC, no refrigerator and when my husband asked for a bucket of ice for his room at the bar, the kid at the bar proceeded to tell him he would give him a pint glass of ice and that’s it! “Otherwise you can go down to the store and buy ice “ I am truly disappointed and in disbelief that after spending over $200 a night for a room, my husband was told he could not get a bucket of ice I would Not recommend this hotel

20/07/2026: Food was nice, good for the takeaways

22/06/2026: Has to be the nicest lamb vindaloo ive had, 100% spot on lovely, chips too very nice hand cut chipper chips not them frozen ones. Nan bread and rice both amazing, lovely heat from the vindaloo and lamb nice and tender, the lads are sound too, nice meeting you guys, ill definitely be back, the lad from dublin in the truck if you remember 😀 amazing food 😋

30/08/2026: Excellent service. Great setting. Great service. Food….poor. All dishes far too salty. Chefs and cooks in the kitchen MUST taste before dishes go out to customers. Very poor for hefty prices. The sauce with the pork chop was terrible. The chefs idea of a rich sauce missed the mark altogether. Several oxo cubs with a few spoon fulls of marmite that completely blew the head off only left you gulping down the water. And a pork chop cut in strips so it was dry by the time it arrived at the table. Come on lads!!! Anyway, the service kept it going and that’s what I was thankful for….at least.

25/08/2026: Recommend this place, very homely, great staff and plenty on duty whilst I was there.

30/11/2025: As an American born "Flaherty," of course I look for any Irish pub called Flaherty's anywhere in the world. I have found them from Barcelona to Cusco, Peru and enjoyed them all, but PJ Flahertys is surely the original that set the standard. The atmosphere is charming, the staff delightful, and the Guiness is perfect. Even better, I was thrilled to meet the owner and fellow "Flaherty." To my Irish cousin, thank you for your warmth and hospitality. You were a highlight of the trip. I will be back to Ireland, Galway and PJ Flaherty's!

27/11/2025: A neighborhood pub atmosphere with its regulars. Quiet because it's the beginning of the week.

26/07/2026: Amazing good and great live music

23/07/2026: A hidden gem in Ranelagh! So glad we found this place we ordered half the menu and everything was amazing. Food cane so fast and staff were so lovely. Thank you so much!!

30/08/2026: Let’s be honest; the MOST UNRELIABLE place around. Their burritos used to be 5/5 all the time; now they can literally be anything from a 1/5 to a 4/5. Opening times are a lie as I’ve arrived within hours twice this week and there is NO ONE working. Perfect example of a place that USED to be top notch with management that USED to care and USED to try. Only thing going for them these days is that it is the only place in greystones up get a burrito!!! STAY AWAY

16/08/2026: Solid burrito! Packed full and tasty. Going to try the spicy next as medium was too easy 😂. Great location too in the yard with other food spots across from the marina. Will be back!

13/09/2026: We visited the River View Bistro restaurant for lunch today—a very lovely, cozy spot in Athlone. They served delicious food at very reasonable prices, and the waitstaff were polite and friendly. The restaurant is situated in a beautiful location, opposite the old castle and right next to one of the oldest pubs. We will definitely be back for dinner soon!

11/09/2026: River View Bistro is a centrally located Italian restaurant just steps from the river and the castle. The atmosphere is pleasant and conversant. The service was quick and attentive. We ordered focaccia, seafood bisque, and stew, all of which were delicious. The bread and butter was delightful. It's a shame it's not closer to home 🥲.
