The best restaurants

01/06/2026: Wonderful setting with very nice staff and the food top class we had shoulder blade of beef , chicken , steak , sea bream , fish and chips , pizza and every dish was top class

17/05/2026: We had an amazing experience here! We spent 3 nights at Ballymaloe and loved every minute. It is an absolutely stunning hotel in the peaceful Irish countryside. The room was clean, beautifully decorated, had heated floors and a heated towel rack, and the comfiest bed! Our room even had a small patio overlooking the gardens. Service was great as well. The morning breakfast was absolutely delicious and the afternoon tea and cake was a nice way to spend an afternoon. We had the 5 course dinner on property one night- which was also delicious. The employees are all so kind and helpful. 10/10 would recommend Ballymaloe to anyone! And would love to come back one day!

10/05/2026: Beautiful garden and fantastic lunch

19/05/2026: Our experience was fantastic. Sarah looked after us and made our evening a really lovely one. The service was quick, the atmosphere felt relaxing yet elevated, and the portions were very generous. The food was delicious, and the chef was incredibly accommodating, kindly adjusting the seafood linguine for me by adding more prawns instead of clams. It was such a thoughtful touch. Dining here feels like being transported to a chic restaurant experience right in Gort. Easily the best restaurant in town.

17/05/2026: Great sausage rolls and the coffee is good.

09/06/2026: I love this place, really! The food is simply fantastic, delicious, and the presentation of the dishes is incredible. The coffee is very well priced, and the staff are super attentive. The Brazilian one, Charles was so lovely and really attentive to us, always smiling. The view is beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing. The avocado toast is perfect and the bowls are great too. I highly recommend it.

02/06/2026: Fantastic meal with the family this evening, served by an absolute gent, thanks Rory! Food was excellent, really hard to find fault with anything. Desert was beautiful, great strawberry cheesecake and waffles. Highly recommend.

24/05/2026: An absolute delight!!! I adore Lebanese food and this place was up there with the best of them. Every dish, from the bread to the dips to the dessert, was handmade with love. Some of the crispiest and most tender shawarma and sumac chicken that I have had. We ordered probably 5 dishes in total, both cold and hot, and were pleased with every one of them. Special shout out to the waitress Nomin for recommending the hummus and the flavorful stuffed eggplant. Everything she told us to get was indeed delicious! 🤤

18/05/2026: Except for the food taking 45 mins to arrive, everything else was quite amazing

17/02/2026: Absolutely love this place, delicious food. Especially spaghetti bolognaise tastes amazing. Nice restaurant, relaxing atmosphere and great friendly staff service. Fantastic meal courses.

21/11/2025: Unreal food and Shonagh our server was excellent so attentive and gave the best recommendations!!!

26/05/2026: The drinks are great and great craic at night. However, my husband and I stopped here for dinner one night when looking for seafood and couldn’t get in to the upscale seafood place nearby. 45 minute wait for 2 people at 7:30pm on a Monday-would highly recommended the salted caramel espresso martini-amazing! We ordered the seafood platter and scallops. The oysters had pieces of shell in them and tasted of pure salt water-I love oysters but these were just not that great. The scallops were slightly overcooked as well. I would avoid this place for seafood and stick with drinks and possibly traditional food only.

26/05/2026: Upon arriving at the restaurant, we were told there would be a 30-minute wait, but we were seated within 10 minutes, which was great. We then requested a table closer to the band and were told we could sit at a nearby table for four. However, less than five minutes later, another couple was seated there instead. Naturally, it made me wonder if the color of my skin played a role. Sometimes it’s the small things that can make or break a restaurant experience. This was our first restaurant here, and I’m sure there are better places with friendlier service. Being handed vegetable stew in a to-go box to eat felt inconsiderate and unwelcoming. I’m from Texas — we simply don’t treat people like that. See pic below We had oysters, which were delicious of course being an American from Texas. We are so used to our crackers, and apparently they don’t know what that is. She had no idea what I was talking about. However, I should be grateful that they had Tabasco sauce.

14/06/2026: The reservation was easy to make and the confirmation was clear. The entrance was super cute, the location chic and even the air unit is disguised. The drinks and food did not disappoint! Best meal while in Ireland!

07/06/2026: Amazing service, delicious food and great cocktail recommendations, would recommend 100 percent!

02/12/2025: Good service by Ashna and also the food was good . We tried chattichore and mandi , its met our expectation👍

28/11/2025: Food and service was excellent 👌 We were late to book so it was pretty empty but can imagine that with more people it would be buzzing.
