The best restaurants

29/03/2026: 30 mins waiting for a pizza. 10 of which it sat on the shelf. When asked about it got the most apathetic response "do you want me to make a new one". Yes cos I love waiting nearly an hour for food.

26/02/2026: Some of the younger staff found my presence funny. I was born with Hydrocephalus and it's not really funny.

07/09/2025: Exceptional food & service. Great atmosphere too. Such a fantastic tasting menu- already looking forward to planning our next visit!

11/08/2025: Allta is my fave spot to dine in Dublin. I visited the place so many times over the years and it never disappoints! The creativity of Niall - owner and head chef is beyond anything! And it’s not only food which is excellent! Always made with care to ingredients and season. With attention to the smallest detail. Flavours combinations are very often bold and excellent in contrast to so many places which are quite plain. We dined with allta at home during covid, in Slane Castle, in the parking, in their permanent venue in Docklands and in Casteruddery farm and enjoyed the experience every single time. And most of all you see love to hospitality and work in every single member of staff. Knowledgable, inspiring and passionate sommeliers, waiters, chefs. Always a pleasure to visit them!

11/05/2026: stuffy but the atmosphere is cool

11/04/2026: I loved it! Great music, a fantastic atmosphere, beautifully decorated, and even though it was packed, the service was excellent and fast. I only stayed if I had to work this afternoon!

20/12/2025: Staff are so friendly and accommodating. Lovely food and fantastic cocktails! An Ennis gem.

02/12/2025: It was lovely. I ordered the carbonara which was good but nothing too crazy, with garlic bread that was just ok and the brownie with ice-cream which was expectacular 💕

25/08/2025: Great atmosphere and good food, well attended.

03/08/2025: First time in the restaurant for a family dinner and the food was amazing and the service was great. Would definitely highly recommend.

28/08/2025: Excellent much bigger pub than you'd think from the outside I'd highly recommend the beamish

18/08/2025: Great music and reasonable prices

20/03/2026: Excellent. Quaint, attentive staff, delicious food, and easy to talk and enjoy your company. Oh, and the food...Exceptional. We had quite the meal. I had the mussels and seafood chowder as my main even though they were appetizers. Both were very, very good. The mussels with thyme was a nice touch and not an herb I'm used to with mussels. My wife had the steak with Mash and gravy. The gravy tasted of stroganoff which she LOVED. Steak was flavorful and cooked just as she requested. One of my kids had the pesto gnocchi. They sautéed the gnocchi to give it a perfect crust and the flavors were nuanced and satisfying. My other kid had the burger. No complaints. Perfectly done. We also ordered the gratin potatoes, the crispy brie, and loves them both. I especially love the gratin. I think I ate them all myself. We ended the night with the rhubarb and apple crumble and the sticky toffee pudding. Along with everything else...just wonderful. Would return happily.

17/01/2026: "Had an incredible meal here! The food was absolutely delicious—everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. What made the night even better was the staff; they were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back!"

02/06/2026: Went here at the weekend. After reading reviews was expecting some really nice food especially seafood. Have to say was underwhelmed. Service was fine but food wasn't. Disappointed

24/10/2025: I was only in the restaurant for a coffee. The atmosphere is very pleasant, beautifully decorated, and cozy. Good service.

07/10/2025: A lovely cafe on the banks of the Barrow. We sat out and had coffee and scones, watching the world go by on the river. Nicest scones we’ve had for a long time. Friendly staff too.
