The best restaurants

08/06/2026: A wonderful stay at the Angler’s Rest Hotel in Headford, County Galway. Frank and his team deliver outstanding hospitality from start to finish. The rooms are spotless, the food is excellent, and the level of service is second to none. This charming boutique hotel offers exceptional value and a genuine Irish welcome. Thank you to everyone at the Angler’s Rest for a fantastic experience. I cannot wait to return. — Gregory Morris, Claddagh Tours

12/05/2026: had turkey and ham lunch there was disgusting veg very sloppy and potatoes watery.

19/05/2026: Lovely place. My first home in Cork when I arrived in 2021. I stayed here for 14 days.

18/05/2026: Beautiful staff, room was perfect. Location excellent plus atmosphere of the hotel was brilliant. Will certainly return for another stay in the future. Lovely experience. 👍

24/05/2026: Was good food 🤤🤤🤤🤤 I need again and again , spice bag the best ✅✅✅✅❤️

19/04/2026: Best Chinese going. Good quality food

13/06/2026: Pharmacia is one of the places where I feel most comfortable and one that I keep coming back to. It’s probably the most alternative bar in the city right now, with a unique atmosphere and great vibe. I highly recommend it!

03/06/2026: If you're looking for a good time this is the place! Its like finding a fiver in your coat pocket, a real treat.

23/05/2026: My only complaint is the food could be hotter but outside of that, absolutely yummmmmmmmyyyyyy.

20/05/2026: Went through the drive through, ordered chicken tender meal. Received food after a ridiculously long wait and left, checked food and I was missing chips, had to turn around and waste valuable time from my break to go back and get chips, no apology or anything from the guy in the window just gave me the chips and slammed the window shut

30/08/2025: I've rarely eaten such delicious food! (Mackerel sandwich)

28/08/2025: Fish tacos are very, very good!!!! Lamb sandwich was also top notch! One of my favorites now.

17/05/2026: Wow – the Indian food was outstanding! Everything was freshly prepared with wonderful spices, full of flavour and clearly made with care. A real treat for anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you!

26/02/2026: Very good service and very nice people to chat and brave do you wrong very nice food

09/10/2025: Had a lovely visit earlier, was served by Rachel and she brightened up my day! Thank you, will visit again ☕

20/09/2025: It's a great spot. Best coffee and sweet treats in Bunclody.

06/06/2026: Surprisingly great lunch / brunch! Loved the eggs Royale and the Shakshuka. Coffee was nice, hot chocolate not so much but like in most places. Staff was really nice, peace was empty ish as we went for lunch on a rainy Saturday, but really good discovery!

04/06/2026: Excellent welcome. Discovery of Irish food and drinks.

17/06/2026: What a place. Really enjoyable Sunday breakfast spot.

16/06/2026: We recently had the pleasure of dining at your establishment with our canine companion. The weather was favorable, allowing us to enjoy our lunch outdoors. Our party consisted of three individuals. We ordered two green Thai curries and one beef stew. The cuisine was exceptional. The venue's location significantly enhances its appeal, and when combined with the outstanding service, it provides a truly relaxing experience. A substantial portion of your fresh produce is organically cultivated either on-site or at a farm affiliated with your establishment. I anticipate returning in the future.

08/03/2026: Delicious food and a lovely dinner. Giggling teenagers aside, it's fine and fun. Part of a chain.

02/02/2026: Great place to have a nice meal. Service was fast and staff was friendly. Food was delicious. I would definitely come back if in the area. I think 4.1 overall stars don't do them justice. I think if you want American diner experience and tasty food then step inside.

01/06/2026: Ok breakfast cost 12.95. poor quality food and extremely salty. Ok but by no means a quality experience. The only thing it has is the convenience to the train station as there are no other places close

24/05/2026: Had an hour to kill for the train to Cork. Great service from the bar tender. Thanks so much!

03/06/2026: I'm deeply saddened by the news of the Betsy's closure, swords mainstreet won't be the same without it.

25/05/2026: We booked our engagement party at The Betsy in Swords and unfortunately the entire experience was stressful from beginning to end. When we first visited the venue, the manager clearly told us that we could bring decorations, sweets and even a few bottles of prosecco for a toast. However, when I later emailed to confirm everything in writing, Caroline replied saying that prosecco was not allowed and that parts of our decoration setup were also not allowed. We returned to the venue to clarify things and honestly, that should have been the moment we cancelled. The same manager became extremely passive aggressive and unhelpful. Unfortunately, invitations had already been sent and we were already under pressure trying to organise everything, so we just accepted the changes and moved forward after finally getting approval for our save-the-date decoration setup. Sadly, the actual party was even worse. We booked “Betsy Below” because we were specifically told there would be background music until the DJ arrived later, which sounded perfect for an engagement party where people could eat, talk and socialise comfortably. Instead, when we arrived at 7:10pm, the music was unbelievably loud — louder than many nightclubs. Nobody could properly speak to each other. We had around 70 guests sharing the space with another smaller party, and many people were visibly uncomfortable because of the volume. I politely asked the barman if the music could be lowered slightly just until the food service or DJ started. His response was incredibly rude. He refused immediately and said, “This is not a private party.” That response was unnecessary and unprofessional, especially considering that the majority of people in that area were our guests. To make things worse, none of the decorations or sweets had been set up, despite being told beforehand that the staff would handle the setup if we delivered everything earlier in the day. When we arrived, everything was still sitting inside boxes. Overall, the customer service was honestly shocking: poor communication, rude staff, lack of organisation and zero care for the client experience. Do not be fooled by how aesthetically nice the venue looks online or in person. The venue may look beautiful, but when it comes to customer care, professionalism and organisation, the experience was extremely disappointing. If you are planning any important event there, make sure EVERYTHING is confirmed in writing beforehand

27/03/2026: Hands down one of the best Pakistani restaurants in the country. The food is consistently top class and the staff are great. Never had a bad meal in the Taj Palace.

13/02/2026: The chicken has the texture of overcooked pork, the food was cold by the time we got it. They only told me of the 40minute wait after paying Then they added an extra 12 minute on top of that. No proper apology for the delay Not worth the price point. We were really hyped up for this. We didn't even finish the food it was so bad. Honestly please do avoid this place, it's a ripoff

17/04/2026: Ordered a 3 in 1 and the half spicebag for delivery. I was told the order would be 40 minutes, after about 50 minutes I decided to call up just to see if I would be waiting long, to which I was told two minutes the delivery driver is nearly at my house. Another three calls and 40 minutes my food arrived. I can expect delays with it being a busy Saturday but it doesn't help when every time I call I get told two more minutes. The food was great, a lot of flavour from the spicebag. Which I have found to be lacking from other takeaways I've ordered from recently. I would add that considering the spicebag is open on arrival, I think it will quickly go cold even within normal delivery time. The 3in1, also tasty, so overall happy with the quality of the food. My main issue is the wait time, which resulted in my spicebag being cold and the 3in1 solidified. I will certainly order from here again as the food was good and I want to give it another go. Just disappointed by being told multiple times two more minutes and ended up being 90 minutes until it arrived

31/03/2026: 10/10 The guy upfront is very good to customers and lovely food
