The best restaurants

11/05/2025: best night ever! fantastic service, great (massive) meals. The best landlady who Spoilt us rotten organizing an impromptu live performance from two extremely talented musos 💗

24/04/2025: I had the beef stew and bar none in was the best Beef Stew I have ever had. They even offered more once I had finished which truly shocked me. This pub/Restaurant is a must visit if in Dublin. I wish we were staying longer so we could come again before leaving.

03/07/2025: El restaurante italiano tiene una comida deliciosa y un servicio muy bueno. Me encanta el ambiente de este restaurante y del bar del hotel. Nuestra habitación es preciosa, fresca y tranquila. La recepcionista en el check-in fue muy amable.

30/05/2024: Went to a Celtic night at the Boardwalk and had an amazing evening, especially thanks to the lovely bartender named Louise. She made incredible cocktails - and mocktails, while being very kind and helpful. Very nice place to try it you stay in Dublin for a couple of nights.

05/05/2024: We’ve been staying here on and off for about 20 years and I’m afraid on our last few stays, the experience hasn’t been as good as it used to be. It’s still an impressive, huge bar but it used to have fairy lights everywhere making it more magical. Some of the staff both at reception and in the bar seem a bit fed up but not all of them. The rooms haven’t changed at all so although comfortable, they really could do with being updated. Impressive reception hall but as you come in the main door there’s a couple of chairs and a very scabby table. Just seems tired and neglected. Our room overlooked a side alley which wasn’t pleasant but that’s no fault of the hotel. Also no fault of the hotel is that there’s quite a few hostels all round it. On a plus side, the breakfasts are still good with something to suit everyone and we were pleased with our fish and chips at dinner one night. Vending machines in the lobbies which is handy. Toilets always clean. No Celtic nights for the three nights we were there but had a good Irish music night. It’s still nice to come back to it at the end of the day for a few drinks rather than roaming about the city at night. We will be back but it’s sad to see changes and would be nice to see some money being spent on it.

28/01/2025: Estuve allí para almorzar hoy y aparte de que el café en sí estaba frío la camarera se eximió conmigo pidiendo la cuenta. Ella se negó a traerlo a nuestra mesa a pesar de que tanto mi amiga como yo le hicimos señas cortésmente. Cuando fui al mostrador, ella sopló, sopló y dio pucheros antes de llamarme grosero varias veces. Estuve allí hace 2 semanas, tuve una camarera servicial encantadora: suerte de marihuana supongo ☘️

07/10/2024: Maravilloso desayuno completo, avena, huevos benedict, expreso y servicio. Muy recomendable. Está en un bonito barrio.

31/03/2024: Got the chance to have a few pints there on its final night in business. It will be missed.

08/02/2024: Great little place, nice pint, small room, open fire, friendly chat with locals.

21/07/2024: Possibly the best food for the best value I have seen in ireland 30 euros for a 3 course menu, roast bar bun and lemon tart, big portion, really good quality. Fabulous meal, off the beaten track but well worth it

19/07/2024: We have gone here twice and plan on making it a regular date-night option as there are plenty of gluten-free and dairy-free options for all meals. The service is fantastic, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is relaxing.
