The best restaurants

22/12/2023: One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The food was beautifully prepared and served promptly. It was delicious and a very full portion. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. There was a good atmosphere. The music was a little old, but each song was a classic. Highly recommended and worth a try. Thanks for a great meal.

27/10/2023: Aroi has been a delightful surprise in the quaint town of Carrigaline. Despite my initial reservations in a smaller locale, this establishment exceeded all expectations with its exceptional menu offerings. Our recent visit saw us savoring the Hong Kong Chicken and Teriyaki Duck Donburi, both of which left an indelible impression. The Hong Kong chicken, reminiscent of Panda Express's Orange Chicken in the United States, was a flavor-packed delight. The Teriyaki Duck Donburi, equally commendable, exhibited an exquisite fusion of flavors and a generous selection of vegetables. Aroi's cocktail selection is a testament to their dedication to culinary excellence. The Espresso Martini, in particular, was a standout. Before our main course, we indulged in the Thai calamari starter, which truly transported our taste buds. The use of chili icons on the menu to indicate the spiciness level of each dish is a testament to the restaurant's authenticity and thoughtfulness, making it easy for patrons to select dishes tailored to their preferences. This level of attention to detail is much appreciated, and it genuinely reflects the authentic Asian culinary experience. Moreover, the staff at Aroi is not only attentive but also a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend Aroi to anyone seeking a truly authentic and exceptional dining experience in Carrigaline. It's a gem in this small town and a testament to the culinary prowess of the team behind it.

06/05/2026: Average Not many options for treats Cookies and pastries are not home baked Was expecting more from it. Good for just coffee

18/07/2026: Had churros at Galway festival and it was unfortunately disappointed. Tasteless and not much sauce. Do not recommended.

24/05/2026: What a fantastic and absolutely charming bar! The Thatch Bar is a real highlight in our twin town of Tuam. From the outside and in the first area, everything seems quite manageable – but then you walk through the second door and you really think, like in Harry Potter: "Where did this huge room suddenly come from?" 😄 We sat upstairs in the roof bar in glorious sunshine and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. The bar simply has everything: cozy corners, a pool table, a rooftop terrace, and above all, incredibly warm and welcoming people. The staff and the guests were super friendly! This is exactly what Irish hospitality is all about. If you're ever in Tuam, you absolutely must stop by! 🍻 And if you ever come to Straubing, you'll definitely buy us a beer!

16/04/2026: Disgusting food. Didn't even chance eating it as i could have made us sick. The chicken didnt even look like chicken...weird, nearly translucent, stringy texture that you could stretch out like elastic. Put it all straight in the bin.

20/02/2026: The only Chinese that we trust to do gluten free sweet and sour!

27/04/2024: Really good and authentic traditional Indian cuisine. Served by lovely and attentive people. Had the Farahi and it was delicious

28/04/2024: A bit pricey for a place that lacks the comfort and service of a pub.

01/08/2026: Proper local rural pub, brilliant spot!

22/07/2026: A classic Irish pub . They have food truck at moment called “ the beara necessities” which I think is so cute personally . It is quite loud but apart from that love it should definitely go out there someday if you ever have a chance

21/08/2026: Has some lovely cakes/pastries and good coffee. Can be difficult to get outdoor seating when it is busy. Fantastic views of Inisheer Island.

19/08/2026: Great food fantastic service and views just perfect
