The best restaurants

22/10/2025: Went up to a lady just to ask for directions and the disrespect she gave me actually had me jaw dropped i was shocked I was being spoken to so rudely, no manners and had such a smart mouth she obviously didnt wanna speak with me and had no interest rolling her eyes

10/08/2025: We have ordered a paw patrol cake for our sons 2nd birthday online and it was amazing. It looked exactly like the reference picture and it tasted really nice. Since they closed the office in Tullamore we had to pick up the cake from their shop in Athlone. We got the smallest square cake and it was still huge and quite heavy. It was a chocolate sponge and chocolate cream cake. It wasnt too sweet or tasteless. I wish there is an option to add forest fruits, sour cherries or other fruits. It would elevate the cake so much. Will definitely going to order a cake there again.

05/10/2025: A great shop with some cracking produce available, their soda bread is easily some of the best in town, highly recommended.

26/07/2025: Gorgeous coffee, and the most delicious chocolate brownies 😋 😍

21/10/2024: Tengo una ensalada en camino. No quedaba mucho porque era 1 cuando aparecimos. Pero muchas verduras. Yo diría que son ensaladas de tamaño americano, así que lo dividimos entre 2 adultos.

31/08/2025: Tricky golf course that is in excellent condition apart from the bunkers. We had food afterwards and it was simply brilliant. Friendly helpful staff and generous portions of top quality and fairly priced grub. Its been a long long time since we had such an enjoyable dining experience.

08/04/2026: Ordered Curry Beef with fried Rice no Peas plenty of Onions.Curry Breast of Chicken with Fried Rice no Peas plenty of Onions. 10 minute drive each way to collect order Got home order wrong 2 Chicken Curry no Beef Curry at all.No peas as requested but only a few Onions in both Curries.Aftet eating some of the Chicken curries we phoned the same person who is the owner to talk about the wrong order and why there was no extra onions in Curries,she said we charge for extra Onions because we have to cut them but we said you left out the Peas so a few extra Onions would replace the Peas.Not a hope in New Curry House Dublin St Dundalk very very mean we have being getting curries all over the planet and this is the first time we heard you have to pay for a few extra Onions and by the way the Beef Curry is more expensive than the Chicken Curry but no offer of a refund which we would have told her to put in a poor box for the hungry people. All one way traffic in this Chinese takeaway.Needless to say we will never order anything from this mean Currie Takeaway again a simple order yes but in our opinion if you were short a few cent's you would not get your feed.

31/12/2025: Food was fresh and absolutely beautiful

13/12/2025: I really like the way the travelling community are excepted here and the Guinness is 10/10

05/07/2025: Horrible is an understatement to how bad the experience was, I never leave reviews that harm the business or reviews full stop, but this restaurant was just…wow. We came here for dinner to celebrate someone’s birthday with some family friends, so there was 9 of us total. First off, one of the servers spilt a pint of MiWadi all over my brother. This is completely understandable, accidents happen and we’ve all worked in the industry before so we did not blame the server at all. When I say he was soaked I mean my father had to take him back home to change clothes and come back, what did they offer as compensation? Oh a complimentary dry clean of course. I’m not saying anything really needed to be offered but that just felt like a slap to the face, did they want an 11 year old to strip off in the middle of the restaurant so they can clean his clothes? Hilariously, the least they could have done was I don’t know, give us the MiWadi for free maybe? But laughably they still charged us 50c for it. Couldn’t even spare 50c after dropping a drink on a child and causing them to leave for 30 mins to go home and get changed. Don’t even get me started on the service. I’ve had better service at places a quarter of the cost, hell, I’ve had better service ANYWHERE but here. We were only approached by the servers a total of TWO times. Once to take our order and another to bring out our order. Throughout the dining experience NOT ONCE did anyone approach us asking how the meal was, to clear our plates (our table was incredibly cluttered and we had to play Tetris to fit everything as a result) , or even to refill our water (3 jugs between 9 people…we ran out pretty fast). Again, this is our first time dining at such a “high end, fine dining” restaurant, and by no means am I saying this is what servers must do, we’ve all worked in the industry but it was just SO BLATANT that we were being avoided like the plague. All other tables were being catered to except us, this was incredibly obvious. It doesn’t help that we were the only non-white table in the restaurant…doesn’t exactly help with appearances or implications does it? My brother wanted dessert but too bad, no one ever approached us to ask once we’d finished our meal or to even clear away the dishes. We were treated as if we were the problem (we had done absolutely nothing) even though they were the ones constantly messing up and OVERCHARGING us €188 euros???!?! Oh yeah let me get to this part. Being overcharged double the actual bill. So my father went to pay the bill and being the non confrontational nor problem causing person he is, he payed it without question and tucked the receipt into his wallet and sat down. He didn’t discuss the price nor even explain how much the total bill was. It wasn’t until I asked him how much he payed a few minutes later out of curiosity did I realise he had been scammed sorry I mean charged 384.50 FOR 8 MAIN COURSES AND 1 STARTER. Completely absurd. The receipt stated 9x 2 Course Dinners. At this point, I’m questioning their ability to count considering how 8 main courses can become 9 mysteriously. My friend approached one of the servers and did not give out about the price, but merely asked the server to break down the cost of the meal for her. Only then did they realise it was wrong AFTER HE HAD PAYED AND WE WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE??? Took them another 15 minutes to solve this issue (proof in the receipt times in the photo I have attached) and guess what, they had overcharged us an ABSURD 188 EURO, almost DOUBLE the actual bill of 197.50. How does a mistake of this magnitude happen? Charging an extra dish by mistake I understand but 188 euros? Inexcusable. The apologies for such a mistake were severely lacking. Heard one “sorry”. When I have worked in customer service I have given out complimentary food for far less and usually with the dialogue or “my sincere apologies I am so sorry for this mistake we will try to make it up to you, again, I am so sorry”. But did we get any of this after all these errors after errors? Nope just one “sorry” and it felt like we were ostracised and looked down upon like this was our fault. This experience was honestly so laughable and almost humiliating. Don’t worry we are never stepping foot near this place and have already told multiple people of this experience to dissuade them from going.

01/03/2025: The food was absolutely fantastic. We could not fault the menu. It catered for everyone. The service was unbelievable. The girls were really friendly and helpful. Rachel made sure that we were looked after from the minute that we came in. I would definitely recommend booking in here if you are staying here or even if you are in Ennis for a night.
