The best restaurants

26/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic chipper and easily one of my favourite places to eat. The food is always fresh, hot, generous and full of flavour, with everything cooked just the way it should be. The quality is consistently excellent, and you can tell there’s real care put into what they serve. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. Whether you’re grabbing a quick meal or treating yourself to a proper takeaway, this place never disappoints. I’ve been back time and time again and it remains a firm favourite. Excellent food, excellent service and great value. Five stars without hesitation — highly recommended!

26/07/2026: There was a lovely lady serving us. Food is delicious. If your in the mood for a chipper in Youghal-Lands this is the place

27/07/2026: We had such a lovely time at the bowling and soft play! (Castleblayney) The facilities were great, clean, and perfect for a fun family day out. A special thank you to Alannah, who made our visit even more enjoyable. She was so pleasant, kind, and incredibly accommodating throughout our time there. Nothing was too much trouble, and her friendly attitude really stood out. Excellent customer service can make all the difference, and Alannah is a real credit to the team!

25/07/2026: staff are good but the playground is very limited and boring. The section for toddlers is very poor and limited

19/08/2026: On a sunny day, it’s really nice to have a beer or grab a bite at an outdoor table with a view of O'Brien's Castle and sometimes even a horse-drawn carriage.

12/08/2026: The best Bangers and Mash I've ever eaten! Fantastic!

01/10/2026: Great experience. Gizem was really helpful and kind. 5 star for service.

31/08/2026: Pretty good overall. The service was okay, and the food was a bit heavy on the sauce for me, but maybe that’s just my taste. Still enjoyed it

30/08/2026: The food comes from the food truck behind the house and is very good. Serving it on plates would be better to reduce waste.

08/08/2026: A very pleasant surprise, this unassuming little restaurant. Excellent draft beers and very good, reasonably priced dishes (salmon tacos and ribs). Friendly service.

12/06/2026: I bought an extra large box with salt n pepper, soy chicken and firecracker. The manager Sam cooked my friends and I a fresh batch of salt n pepper chicken cause the place was busy and the staff Yuki was so nice while taking the payment. The food felt like home, especially because I like slightly spicy food. Also, another time, Alison was very quick and wonderful while taking my order. Definitely going to visit for my break time lunch hour.

19/04/2026: great food, excellent customer service . really recommend.

10/06/2026: Great spot right in the center of the town.good live music and great atmosphere

16/05/2026: Tasty vegetarian breakfast (missing something though, maybe add halloumi?), but unfortunately I can’t say the same for the coffee. The smashed avocado (forgot to take a pic) was smothered in hollandaise sauce, which took away the flavour of the avocado. The service was great, the young girl who served us was very friendly and accommodating.

21/09/2026: Very expensive for what you get

02/07/2026: Stopped in for a lovely €9.99 lunch deal, the place was busy even on a Monday lunch time.

28/09/2026: Well if I could but a 0 star I would The food was so average & the portion size was a joke, we got 2 large piece of chicken in one dish, also the papadums were a large back of broken pieces and the dips was at a push I tablespoon,as for the chips a large back with 20 frozen cold chips in bag no joke we payed 53 euro for this amount of food for my Special birthday, Never again

09/09/2026: I’ve been here several times and have had a really good experience every time. The food is full of flavour and cooked really well. Definitely one of the better Indian restaurants I’ve tried in Ireland.

06/05/2026: We stopped here one evening for food and were served one of the worst meals I've ever had the misfortune to consume. The fish was mushy under a tasteless batter, the chips were an equal mess of bland nothing. There was not one redeemable feature on offer, nobody finished anything. A sorry state of a chipper and I pity whatever poor misfortunates have to eat here next. Great location tbf, Leap is a very cute little village. In summary, avoid

15/08/2026: Sweet suffering jesus. Do not go here. Genuinely the worst meal of my life. Duck rolls were cold in the middle, stone cold but I gave them a pass hoping the main course would be better. Turned out it was significantly worse. Fatty beef rolled in dried chilli. Blew the mouth off me. Asked if they could just wipe the dried chilli off. Somehow it came back worse. Then the ultimate annoyance, when we tried to leave having tipped (bizarrely Irish), the door handle had broken and needed a staff member to reattach in order to let customers leave. Absolutely awful.

31/07/2026: First time in Zi Qi, won't be my last. Proper authentic Chinese food, children had more irish style chinese dishes, adults went for more authentic chinese dishes and every dish was really really good. The staff were also fantastic, really friendly and helped us with the menu and helped recommend dishes. Will definitely be back. Just sorry I only just discovered the restaurant.

18/08/2026: Had a delicious ice coffee made by Jennifer and it was so delicious. Service was great and everyone was so kind

13/08/2026: Even as a hotel guest, you can't get a table here at 8 pm without a reservation. Half the place was empty, but although the kitchen is officially open until 8:30 pm, the staff seemed to prefer setting up early for breakfast. And nobody there seemed to be working themselves to the bone.

25/08/2026: Taco fries chips were soft & luke warm , not freshly cooked. Burger bun was twice the size of the chicken breast. Honestly not good at all. Compared to other supermacs, this was dissapointing.

26/07/2026: Reliable SuperMacs quality throughout the generations

20/08/2026: Quick stop lunch The portions are huge so consider sharing one dish. Comes in atake out box so will keep for later. Pad thai v nice. Its really a take away place. About six seats. V popular with locals

19/08/2026: I've been dropping into Yum thai for years to grab a quick tasty bite. To be clear this is not a restaurant, however there is limited seating at the window for maybe 4 people to eat comfortably and watch the world go by. The food is all pre made, several thai curries and noodle dishes. Bit of chinese crossover also I think with some of the food! If you want a quick bite to take away or are coming alone, Yum Thai ticks the box. Curries are tasty.

04/08/2026: A cosy, colourful little café in a cute village, perfect for a stop on a long drive. The sandwiches are delicious, on plump toasty bread and really nicely presented. Lovely choice of desserts, but there's also a very tempting icecream counter which attracts a lot of happiness off the streets. Lots of tourist souvenirs for sale as well as some usual newsagent supplies. There staff are friendly and fast with orders, the place is a gem.

26/07/2026: Go 10 minutes down the road to Cafe Rose instead. We ordered sandwiches and waited 20 minutes until we asked how long it would be. They said 10 more minutes. There were two staff that we could see, it was a week day and not busy. We got our money back and left.
