The best restaurants

05/11/2025: Beautiful food, attentive but non-invasive service. Great location, so much activity for midweek. Just a lot of fun. We had bar seating which might suit everyone but we loved it.

03/11/2025: Fantastic food, attentive service and brilliant atmosphere. Will be back!

19/11/2025: Excellent food - tapas and pasta dishes especially. There are choices for vegetarians. The tortilla pancake appetizer was great. But it was cold near the door.

17/11/2025: Absolutely delicious food and fabulous wine selections. They were kind enough to fit us in without a reservation and the service was excellent. Absolutely fair pricing for the quality of food and atmosphere.

29/11/2025: I've been coming here for about 15 years and must say the consistency and quality of the food and service here is incredible. I usually go for the Regular Breakfast and honestly never wait more than 5 minutes before getting my food.. I dont know how they do it!! And its always the same super high quality ingredients. Always.

28/11/2025: The place is located a little outside the city center, which is a plus. The prices are fair and the food is very generous. The atmosphere is a little run down. I would gladly return 👍🏻

08/11/2025: Everyone there was lovely. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was unbeatable. Would love to come back again.

29/10/2025: We love the chowder, it's the best. And the desserts are delicious. Plus, the staff was very friendly.

27/11/2025: I’m not lying, five stars for every single aspect. First of all, the staff is incredibly kind, polite, and respectful; they’re always attentive to whatever you need. The food was exceptionally flavourful, every dish was full of taste and pure deliciousness. The atmosphere was lovely as well, with Christmas decorations everywhere, giving it a very nostalgic feel. The owner was also present and always took the time to check on us. A solid 10 out of 10.

26/11/2025: From the beautiful interior to the most friendliest accommodating staff. I cannot say enough good things about Hugo’s. And of course the food is amazing. So good, after my first visit I made reservations and came back the next night. Thank you Hugos!!! Highly recommended

02/10/2025: As a Mexican, I recommend eating here! Everything is delicious.

28/09/2025: Great place for a breakfast Roll or Sandwich, always a bit if banter with the staff. Recommend 👌

30/10/2025: Spectacular. Beef Wellington, Pork Belly, Fish Pie, all faultless. Desserts lovely with Sticky Toffee Pudding a standout. Service outstanding and pleasantly surprised at the cost. I won't visit Kenmare again without visiting.

26/10/2025: Love this restuarant, great menu, lovely atmosphere and staff were so friendly and welcoming. Recommend it for a special occasion.

03/09/2025: Best seafood, great atmosphere, well worth a visit.

27/08/2025: Fabulous place, not to be missed. Ideal for overnight stay and food. Very reasonable prices. Great service and knowledgeable, helpful, efficient staff. Well done all, at Helen's, Kilmakillogue.

07/12/2025: Lignum Michelin is truly a culinary masterpiece. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with an atmosphere that blends elegance and comfort perfectly. The menu is a celebration of creativity and flavor—every dish is crafted with precision and passion, making each bite an unforgettable experience. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, and the attention to detail is second to none. One of the highlights of the visit was meeting Nigel, their charming and friendly dog, who adds a unique and heartwarming touch to the entire experience.

27/11/2025: Wow, Wow, Wow. What an experience, enjoyed every second of the 4hrs we were there. The food is beyond delicious, words fail me when I think of the flavors. We were treated like royalty from the minute we arrived to when we left.

08/11/2025: A lovely family run restaurant with good food.

28/10/2025: Highly recommended place, excellent quality/price ratio and ideal place to enjoy as a couple or family.

25/07/2025: Visited with my mum today and Pat’s Cafe truly exceeded our expectations! The staff were incredibly attentive and lovely from the moment we stepped in, making us feel right at home. The décor is tasteful and spotless, creating a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. Our meals were fantastic—the portions were absolutely huge and delicious, perfect for anyone who loves great food. You couldn’t ask for nicer people or a better dining experience. The only tip I’d offer: bring cash, as it keeps things simple. A fantastic business we’ll be eager to return to!

19/07/2025: Always great service and standard

24/11/2025: Had dinner with my partner here and really enjoyed it. Very good seafood, high quality and well prepared and presented. Recommended

11/11/2025: I know this place is a favourite for many, including several of our friends, and I can see why; the food was beautifully presented, and the service was excellent. However, for a restaurant that usually requires quite a wait to get a reservation, I expected a bit more from the overall experience. While the seafood was fresh, both our main dishes featured white fish and ended up tasting quite similar, which made the meal feel a little less special. The dessert, unfortunately, was slightly burnt and not as enjoyable as we’d hoped. Overall, it was a decent experience with great service, but the flavours and variety could be improved to match the restaurant’s strong reputation and high expectations.

25/10/2025: My group and I loved the food, drinks, and the atmosphere. The people who work here are a JOY. We loved the happy vibes. Breakfast was filling and the lattes were great. Employees went above and beyond offering extra things to make our experience the best.

24/10/2025: During my stay in Dublin I had breakfast here twice since I loved the first one so much. Staff is super friendly and the food is really tasty. I had the bagel with salmon twice, I loved it and still think about it.

21/11/2025: I ask ChatGPT about best restaurant in athlone and it shows me 1810 steak house and sea foods. Today i was there with my partner, we had really nice dinner in really cozy atmosphere with really nice staff. All yummy but be careful with the negroni is very strong 😀😇❤️ Now we have our favorite place ☺️

21/11/2025: Lovely evening. Food was delicious.

27/11/2025: Fabulous cuppa café siempre always

11/11/2025: Great coffee by great people in Maynooth & Mullingar!
