The best restaurants

17/04/2026: Probably the best garden center in the country. Lovely cafe.

15/04/2026: Great place called in about a week ago looking for a cherry blossom tree & Sinead went out her way to get us one from Kilquade a week later . Great service & she rang & was there when we collected it. Very fair price. Keep up the good work. James Brennan

18/06/2025: We had a very pleasant visit to the mills. Our guide was amazing, with a high knowledge of the mills and surroundings. The mills are very well preserved, and landscapes all around are breathtaking. Delicious cakes and cappuccino in the coffee shop

18/06/2025: Great insight into life in a million. We had a terrific guide, Patrick, and it was great to actually get inside the windmills and learn how they worked.

23/04/2026: Stayed in the hotel next door, so perfect location. Food and Service were fabulous and I will definitely go back when in Strandhill - the bars is perfect for a drink before or after (or both)!

12/04/2026: Love the Venue Burger and the Onion rings....fabulous.

05/05/2026: A great place for an afternoon lunch. The carvery is very good – like home-cooked meals. 🫠 Quite busy for a weekday, and on weekends it's like a beehive, but there's always room. There are plenty of tables both inside and outside, plus friendly service both at the bar and in the restaurant. A large parking lot for drivers. For those with a sweet tooth, there are also desserts (THEY LOOK DELICIOUS – BUT they're not like Polish pastries – they don't have that sugary taste :-)), more of a bland, typically Irish flavor (meaning lack of flavor).

02/05/2026: Very good food at a good price. Lots of space inside and out. If you're looking for a spot that isn't too crowded to catch up with friends, you've come to the right place.

07/01/2026: We stopped here for lunch after visiting the Kilmainham Gaol, on the way to the Guinness Storehouse. Service was friendly and prompt. My Napoli panini (basically eggplant parm with pesto) was excellent; the pesto was terrific. My ginger carrot soup was good, but a hair on the bland side for my taste. My wife's margarita pizza slice was good, very cheesy. Her salad was OK, but some of the lettuce seemed a little old. The decor is fun. A bottle of water and glasses was already set when we sat down. We'd definitely return.

20/12/2025: The only place to find the true taste of Italy in the area! Fantastic spaghetti bolognese, mouthwatering bruschettas - and plenty more, always made with the best, fresh ingredients. An absolute must in D8!

02/01/2026: Absolutely terrible experience – avoid. The Mad Egg in Liffey Valley was one of the worst food experiences I’ve ever had. To start with, the place was absolutely freezing. There’s no proper front door, just thin curtains separating the inside from the outside — in this weather that’s completely unacceptable and made the whole place uncomfortable before we even ate. The food itself was a huge concern. It came out far too quickly, to the point where it raised serious red flags. I’ve worked in the food industry for years across bars, hotels, and restaurants, and I have never seen food prepared and served that fast unless it was pre-cooked and reheated. It didn’t feel freshly made at all. Within hours of eating here, both myself and my girlfriend became extremely sick, and we’ve been unwell for the past 24 hours. I have never been this sick from food before. This wasn’t a coincidence — it was very clearly food-related. I’ve eaten Mad Egg a couple of times in different locations around Dublin city centre in the past and never had an issue, but this location has completely put me off the brand. Between the freezing conditions, the questionable food preparation, and getting sick afterwards, we will never eat at Mad Egg again.

31/12/2025: Fab food. Loved it. Will be back again for sure. They even gave us a little sweet treat for International Women's day ❤️

20/04/2026: Hotel is very nice, rooms are modern and clean. Location is not very good though, as you are outside the town, not much you can do, so you need a car to go anywhere. Cabs are also hard to get. Other than that, the hotel is nice and they have a very good breakfast.

20/04/2026: We had my dad’s 70th birthday at the Talbot and it was a huge success. The events team and all other staff were absolutely fantastic . Dealing with Molly the events coordinator was great, listening to all our requests. The whole team went above and beyond. Their attention to detail and service on the night was top class. Special mention to Dean & Jason also who kept things running smoothly. We stayed at the hotel too, the rooms are very modern, comfortable and clean. Would highly recommend the Talbot in Clonmel.

10/03/2026: Had lunch in anglers rest the staff were lovely attentive and friendly , the restaurant is really nice though I would have liked the option to eat at the bright bar area rather than the dark table to the rear of room it's really nice . The fish was good but not quite good enough for the 22€ price tag. The fish portion was quite small . The fish itself was fresh tasted good but I would have expected a little more of it .

21/02/2026: Top g was the best. Great staff but glasses. Met famous local celeb and expert trucker Tony Spink.

14/11/2025: We landed by accident at the Parkgate Coffee. It was the best coffee I had so far in Ireland. This place could be in London. The Coffee was just amazing!

25/09/2025: The best cafe in Tralee One of the best specialty coffee shops in the area

24/04/2026: Met fantastic people in the castle... Austrian royalty in the banquet hall😁 such a great story teller for the Irish. Also, Fantastic Man at the fisherman's cottage, great info, and good craic, Thank you to you all❤️

24/04/2026: I went here on a rainy day in April. It was beautiful. The area was surprisingly quiet (probably because of the rain) and much larger than I expected. There is a lot to see. I really enjoyed seeing all the characters dressed up in traditional outfits talking about Irish history. There are lots of shops filled with handmade Irish art and souvenirs. Every room is brimming with culture and whimsy

12/04/2026: One of my favourite places to drop in for a nice lunch/Dinner. First thing I noticed was comfortable seating area and good atmosphere, 2nd was great customer service, I have been in a few times over the winter when people were not in the best of humour due to cold rainy gloomy weather outside, however the manager has never failed to be friendly and good humoured and makes an effort to talk to everyone that walks in the door he is an asset to the business, the food is fantastic, very tasty, great to have parking outside too nice and easy access. This is a case of its not just the food, it's the people that make the business!

20/02/2026: First time visit. Excellent ambiance and great experience. Very friendly staff. Food was incredible and OREO was superb 👌. 💯 recommended. Mark and Tracy both are very friendly and great service.

24/10/2025: What an excellent little deli! The staff were lovely too. I heard the lovely gentleman behind the counter say that they never reused meat from the day before and you can absolutely taste the freshness. Will absolutely be back if I’m ever in the neighbourhood again.

21/10/2025: One of the nicest sandwiches I’ve ever had. With a name like Pig and Heifer, I wasn’t sure about what the vegetarian options would be, I got Gorgonzola and Veg on toasted Sour Dough. The produce is at the highest end you can get, just 10/10. Also, seemed to be independently owned with regular customers, good atmosphere.

17/04/2026: the worst experience ever. the food isnt good at all. they forgot about my plate. we can’t pay each-others food but we had to pay separately. (they didn’t told us in the call) it’s really expensive, if you call their number they will tell you about an offer , but as soon as you sit at the table they say it doesn’t exist. not a good experience and the food smells bad. i’m sorry for this but im just telling the truth

17/04/2026: First time delivery, and it was delicious. Everything was cooked well and tasted great. The pork dumplings were excellent. Generous portions. Looking forward to ordering from here again.

07/01/2026: Service, is great. Products some great some I would like to be more authentic local made and jaut a ltle bit less costly. Maybe its just me. But at the same time place is look after clean well preseted. Coffey great food some desert great some other don't leave you hungry but can be improved

04/01/2026: This is a fantastic place to visit.

26/04/2026: Delicious dinner and wonderfull drinks. We wanted something special, so we asked the bartender if he could make something sweet for us. He made us a special drink called Genn's Special. It tasted amazing! 10/10 would recommend! Amazing service and amazing foods/drinks!

15/04/2026: Two stars for the environment ,zero for the food- had pasta and it was literally a ....tasteless soup!!!! If you don't know how to cook it( didn't expect Italian ,of course ,but not such a disaster) ,don't bother.Ruined massively my whole last evening in Dublin.
