The best restaurants

23/12/2024: Why does pizzahut not deliver to Smithfield? Such bad service

17/11/2024: Food was lovely. Really enjoyed the pizza

03/10/2024: Just letting people know that the granary have incorrect information on their website and on Google. I ordered, they took the payment, drove 20 mins to collect and it is closed. No answer from phone. I know other people have reported this online, and the possible open days are ever changing. This is terrible customer service, and I won’t be returning again, as this is a recurrent problem that they think is acceptable for customers to deal with regularly. Unacceptable.

05/03/2025: Pizza has good amount of sauce and cheese and isn’t dry, very stingy with the toppings however

07/12/2024: En primer lugar, el trabajador fue grosero y desdeñoso en el teléfono cuando tomó nuestro pedido colgó inmediatamente sin preguntar si queremos recoger o entregar cuando queríamos la entrega, después de que finalmente llegamos a ellos por segunda vez para pedir la entrega, la entrega tomó más de una hora y media. En segundo lugar, por teléfono nos dijeron que podemos pagar con tarjeta, pero cuando el repartidor llegó a la puerta dijo que no toma tarjeta. Y por último , Cuando nos pagaron con dinero en efectivo recibimos la cantidad equivocada de cambio , nos faltaban 5 euros, repartidor sólo sacó el dinero de su bolsillo y se fue enseguida. En general la comida era genial, pero el proceso de conseguir la comida fue humillante y decepcionante.

02/05/2025: Probablemente el mejor restaurante chino / tailandés en el norte de Dublín. El personal y la comida son siempre frescos y excelentes. Mantenga el gran trabajo

18/04/2025: Pedí fideos de sal y gambas con chile y salsa salteada. Era un fideo impactante. Eran salsa salteada extremadamente seca. Era horrible. La comida estaba realmente fría. Nunca más. En cuanto a las gambas, impactante. Devolví la comida.

06/12/2024: Toni's always saves my night, but today they outdid themselves. Pizza with only cheese, how could I be happier? Pizza + Coca-Cola + Netflix + the sound of rain...

05/10/2024: Very Friendly and helpful staff, fantastic food Very big portions, great value for money 💰

05/05/2025: Lovely atmosphere and great staff a special shout out to Yola

14/05/2025: This is a proper Ballina pub, cosy, as pubs were when I was younger. Great Guinness, poured perfectly, not too cold. Nice folks in there of an older outlook but engaging and friendly. Derek and his wife are no nonsense decent people.

08/04/2025: I'm a hard working Irish man working a job that the majority of Irish people refuse to work in and that is the care of elderly in nursing homes for many years. I arrived to Ballina for the night after sightseeing the Mayo coast. Without having previously taken a drink of alcohol I was refused service at this pub saying "I had too much to drink tonight". The real reason was my Limerick accent and what one local barman said to me. He believed me to be belonging to an "ethnic minority" which means to us Irish as the Travelling Community. And so what if I was!? I have been up and down my country of Ireland and as a middle aged man I have never experienced any type of discrimination before. Close minded bigots.

09/08/2024: The carrot cake was delicious but to be honest the slice was very thin for the price.

27/07/2024: Amazing coffee ❤️, but the best thing about this place is the homemade desserts. I would go there every day if I was living in Kilkenny. The service it was great too. I would recommend 👌 😌

20/07/2025: "Not recommended. The food quality is rather poor, and the prices are high considering what you get. The waiter is unhelpful and unwilling to assist with menu choices. A takeaway would be a better option."

27/06/2025: I am a local in Malahide and love to support the numerous and amazing restaurants and businesses in the area. However we ordered a takeaway from The Orchid Restaurant in Malahide this evening and although they use high quality ingredients unfortunately the chef over seasons the food to such an extent it’s almost inedible. Please stop over using salt in your dishes and let the high quality food speak for itself. You would then be a 10 out of 10 restaurant.

31/07/2025: Best roll around clare, munster and ireland. Top notch food and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Would recommend to everyone!

11/06/2025: Was out here last week with a friend of mine said we go for something to eat well I tell U something for nothing for food was beautiful have to say people out there are very nice and we went out again yesterday Tuesday we we're like I don't know what it's amazing food thanks girls

13/02/2024: Cheap looking place. Prices are inexpensive. Little tables. Family of four would feel uncomfortable. Not too much space. Interior design is poor. They hadn't stake i wanted. On order i clearly specified that i want no onion. Got an order with onions on the top of the dish. Quality of food is average. A little below the average. Might be good for a quick bite but i wouldn't go there second time.

15/07/2025: Extremely Disappointing Second Visit – Serious Food and Service Concerns We’ve just come home from our second visit to Korean Royal City in Maynooth. Our first experience was great – the food was fresh, the service was warm, and everything ran smoothly, which is why we were happy to return. Unfortunately, tonight was the complete opposite and has left us deeply disappointed and genuinely concerned. One of the main dishes – my partner’s chicken – was absolutely not fit for consumption. It was clearly not fresh, tasted off, and was extremely dry. When the waitress asked how everything was, I politely and quietly said one of the meals was not good — the chicken wasn’t fresh and tasted off. I made a point of saying this discreetly, as another diner had just arrived at the table beside us. Instead of reading the room and handling it professionally, she continued to dispute it openly, making the other diners visibly uncomfortable as they ate. It was embarrassing and entirely avoidable. When it came time to pay, we explained again that we wouldn’t be paying for the inedible dish. She offered 10% off the item — about €1 — which felt dismissive given the seriousness of serving potentially spoiled chicken. I explained this wasn’t acceptable and that the dish needed to be removed from the bill entirely. She refused, would not call a manager, and said the chef refused to come out. She then claimed her boss was away for a month having surgery and there was no manager on duty — effectively, no one in charge. In the end, she would only take half the dish off, and we were forced to pay €72.50. She insisted she didn’t have the authority to do more. Other issues that added to the experience: We had to ask for basic things like napkins and glasses. There was no lighting in the bathrooms. No music, no ambiance at all. Card payment wasn’t available due to “no WiFi,” and we were told we had to pay cash — something we found highly suspicious. The most worrying part is that we now sincerely hope we don’t become unwell after tasting that chicken. We rarely complain and always try to be fair — our first visit here was lovely, and that’s why we came back. But this experience was unprofessional, uncomfortable, and potentially unsafe. We’ll be contacting the Food Safety Authority and awaiting a call from the manager or owner.
