The best restaurants

29/08/2025: Top pub..friendly atmosphere with free pool. Say no more. All sports shown

16/03/2026: Delicious breakfasts included! Truly fantastic food, no complaints whatsoever. The service was friendly and helpful. You can leave your luggage, but keep in mind that it's only available until 1:00 PM, as the restaurant closes after that. The room includes a kettle, tea, iron, and hairdryer – everything you need. The bed is very comfortable! Dublin city center is about a 20-minute walk away – something to be aware of. On the downside, the bathroom was very cold during our stay. The window was leaky and there was a draft, which made the room feel cold at times. There were occasional odors in the hallway (but that was probably from the kitchen).

17/01/2026: Basic. Stairs are like mount everest. Shower small. Beds clean and comfortable. Overpriced

08/03/2026: The best Indian food I've had. We order this at work on late shifts regularly and everyone is always delighted. Vegetarian options are amazing. Delivery is super quick, and prices are fair for the very high quality.

15/02/2026: Absolutely brilliant service and food. Staff are so super polite. They even gave us a roasting hotplate beforehandll Plenty of food also nice and spacious. Highly recommend this place but make sure your starving going in 👌

10/11/2025: I've stayed here several times and it's always been an absolute pleasure, from the moment you walk in the door. Friendly staff, good food and a fantastic location, so close to the beach.

26/01/2026: Great wee bar lovely staff and very friendly, nice atmosphere.

19/01/2026: Bar, football and darts were on, relaxed vibe.

25/09/2025: Great mocha and dark chocolate hot chocolate. Each drink purchase comes with a free chocolate as well. The staff is incredibly friendly and service is quick. Definitely recommend for chocolate lovers.

05/09/2025: First time trying Butlers hot chocolate and I took a risk buying a couple of boxes. The hot chocolate was DELICIOUS and much needed on a cold February day. A couple of boxes was also not enough. The chocolate is so delicious and I cannot wait for my next trip to Ireland so I can buy more.

24/11/2025: we enjoyed our food big time, portion size was class, Sakil is a top man - see you next time!

23/11/2025: Good food, give a try to Garlic chilli chicken. Polite staff

14/03/2026: This is definitely the best Asian food I’ve ever had! It tasted absolutely brilliant. It was our first time here; it didn’t look particularly fancy from the outside, but as soon as we stepped inside, it felt warm and cosy, and everyone was so friendly and attentive. The service was excellent, and we’ll definitely be back.

03/02/2026: Ordered a takeaway this evening.We got sweet and sour chicken,Szechuan chicken,noodles,rice and the appetiser for two.Unfortunately we have ended up puking our guts up after it.Not sure what happened

28/02/2026: The service from both the waiter and the manager was a 10/10. We tried the beef check and the bolognese, the pasta was a bit too al dente but it was still lovely

28/02/2026: This restaurant can't handle doing deliveries while also being a nice place to eat. Ate here earlier in the week with my partner. I was excited to go because I used to have friends who worked here when it first opened. The atmosphere then was really nice and the attention to being a eco friendly restaurant was very much at the forefront of the experience. Wine is on tap, napkins are recycled and no cash or receipts etc. Very diligently done with delicious food to boot. This idea seems to have gone out the door along with the food and the service itself. We didn't have a booking on arrival, so we were expecting a little wait, but what ended up happening exceeded that expectation. We were greeted with 4 delivery drivers hanging around inside the entrance without a member of staff to be seen anywhere. The drivers were just as confused as we were because we were all left standing for probably 10 minutes without seeing a single server leave the mysterious door to the kitchen. The deliveroo orders were lined up, all one use paper bags, with receipts stapled to them and all surely had a whole assortment of other single use containers inside. Immediately I knew the eco friendly aspect of the restaurant must have taken a backseat in favour of making a quick buck. The drivers were clearly frustrated and didn't want to just grab the orders without confirming with the restaurant first. I expect the delivery experience was almost as bad as the service we received inside. The orders must have been cold by the time a server made an appearance to confirm them. We were eventually sat at our table. The place was relatively quiet, there were maybe 3 or 4 tables around us chatting. A few of them already looked wildly displeased and we watched a table send back their order, which didn't bode well for what came next. We ordered some drinks asked for another minute to decide and then didn't see our server again for another 20 minutes. When we finally got to order myself and my partner watched for nearly 40 minutes while other tables who arrived after us and other delivery drivers (who were again kept waiting) got their food before we had. Mind you we had only ordered 2 mains. When the food arrived it was tragically disappointing. The egg in the carbonara was congealed and the pasta was near raw. The beef cheek ragu was marginally nicer, but was extremely salty and again the pasta was totally undercooked. I was utterly starving so I reluctantly stomached the food. Unfortunately my partner couldn't manage more than two bites before she decided it wasn't worth it. I felt embarrassed because I spent the evening bigging the place up to her. The pre packaged sandwich we got in centra after brought her more joy. More fool me I suppose. We were left waiting another 20 minutes for the 'bill' (a screen shoved in my partners face rather than items being called out). The server decided after us asking that it was an apt time to take a personal phone call and was shouting down the line in front of customers, while wiping adjacent tables for another 10 minutes before coming back to us. I decided it was best to write a review and impact the owner/s rather than complain to him about our night as this seems like a job he's long past caring about. We reluctantly paid full price and we left in a hurry. There's no explanation for raw pasta after nearly 40 minutes of waiting unless the kitchen is pressured into cooking faster or isn't able to handle the volume of food being paid for. There's no explanation for floor staff being missing for extended times unless the place is vastly understaffed. If the owner/s only care about making money they should do themselves a favour and make this place a takeaway ghost kitchen, because the charm and care that originally went into service has been left in the dust. What a shame.

20/12/2025: Never complaint about the food, staff are so friendly also

28/11/2025: It is difficult to write such a review. Quality of food is ok, nothing stands out in either way. However, the portion sizes are lacking a bit, ESPECIALLY when compared with the competition (mostly with Riverside China House). I used to frequent a few times to dine in, and had no complaints. For takeaway, there are better options. The only saving grace for Pagar Garden is that some days they open at 12pm, which is when no other takeaway is opened.

19/12/2025: We always order lunch from Abra for delivery at work and couldn’t be happier! The staff are incredibly friendly, the food is absolutely delicious, and the portions are very generous. Always fresh, delivered food is always hot - couldn’t recommend them enough!!!

24/11/2025: This place has the best food and the staff is very friendly!!!

10/11/2025: Three cold chicken tenders and a small portion of cold chips for €13, never again!

19/10/2025: Very tasty all day breakfast, nice veggie option. Poached eggs were perfect!

12/03/2026: I’m a member of Club Vitae together with my daughter and my partner, and it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The club has a very friendly atmosphere, helpful staff, excellent cleanliness, and a great variety of classes to choose from. Special thanks to Kate for leading the club at such a high standard, and to Dylan, who is always kind and helpful. My only small suggestion would be regarding the use of strong perfumes before training. As the gym is a shared space, it would be great if everyone could keep the comfort of others in mind.

09/03/2026: Excellent gym instructors Great trainers in Luke and Dylan and what lovely gents they are with great personalities. Katie the manager top notch of

17/03/2026: Ordered on Uber Eats, never got the delivery

17/03/2026: I can not put into words what a disgusting service this is. Don't order, don't call them, do not even try to think about them. Go anywhere. I've been waiting for more than 1h30m and never got my order.

08/03/2026: The crisp chicken sweet chilli is amazing ! The noodle with mixed meet is also great

22/02/2026: I love eating here so much. I come here roughly once a week and the food is always so nice and they have the food ready really fast 😋
