The best restaurants

13/07/2025: We parked in the shopping car park and as soon as we walked out we spotted this coffee shop . We had the most delicious BLTs and iced coffees, the food and service was wonderful , thank you Barbara !

10/06/2025: My new fave coffee shop 🥰 The coffee is the best in town! Ready to drink temp so if you like an extra hot coffee ask for it to be extra hot! I got a toasty & it was the best toasty I’ve ever had! Delicious! Lovely cosy little spot, we sat outside in one their pods and was lovely! The staff are lovely, especially the young lad!!!

15/09/2025: Friendly gallery with artworks of local, national and international significance. Overheard a very knowledgeable guide as we were leaving, do we'll need to spend longer there next time we visit!

25/06/2025: Very detailed account of The Famine, so pretty harrowing in places. Also contains information on the nature reserve, as well as a decent gift shop.

20/07/2025: As far as we can tell the store part of select stores has been closed for some time. Not sure about the fuel side of the business

30/10/2024: Our server, Lily, was extremely helpful and makes a great cappuccino! Will be returning 🙌

27/10/2024: We had a delicious scone and amazing chocolate chip cookie from here! I can totally recommend anything they bake!

28/07/2025: €17 for burger meal in Dundrum.Looked good.No real taste off meat ,bun,kettuce or tomato.No nice sauce included? Burger was black on both sides and mot cooked in the middle.Im sure how they can justify the price?Certainly wasnt Gourmet quality.

30/05/2025: The fun began with their self-serve machine, which decided twice that it simply could not be bothered. I stood there like a chimp with an iPad, repeatedly stabbing the frozen screen while a queue formed behind me, full of people wondering whether they too would live long enough to place an order. Eventually, after what felt like a lifetime, the order limped through the system. Fifteen minutes later my number was finally called, but not before they managed to turn what should have been a simple handover into a full-blown drinks disaster. My Coke was launched across the counter like a low-budget stunt scene, showering three innocent customers. Unsurprisingly, this did not go down well. And then the burger arrived. Technically, it was a double patty burger. In reality, it was a cheap, greasy, structural catastrophe. The patties themselves looked exhausted — thin, grey, oily, and completely devoid of any real flavour. The cheese had melted into limp flaps, drooping sadly over the sides like melted plastic. And as if to ensure the whole thing was completely impossible to eat, they had crammed in a ridiculous slab of lettuce the size of a small parasol. It stuck out like the sails of a boat, making any attempt to pick it up result in an immediate collapse of the entire construction. This was not one of those indulgent, guilty pleasure burgers you rave about to your friends. It was a cheap, greasy mess you finish only because you feel too ashamed to throw it away. Gourmet Burger Kitchen needs to sort its technology, train its staff not to spill drinks on customers, and — most importantly — go back to sourcing proper burger meat. Because at the moment, it is a very long way from gourmet.

12/02/2025: One of the best pints of guinness in baltingkass.

02/01/2025: Great pints in here...first class..good atmosphere..worth a visit..

12/12/2024: I prefer the coffee beans from Cool Hand. The milk is sometimes heated too hot and other times it’s too cold. I feel Insomnia is more consistent at my preferred 65 degrees. The music is often too loud. I prefer the volume of the music at Lean Bean. Finally, the owner, I think his name is Simon, is very enthusiastic and tells me to have an AMAZING day. I prefer a quiet Barista.

04/12/2024: The coffee is really excellent but it’s the staff that make this place. Friendly and warm but in a genuine way.

28/07/2025: Let my nephew in after 9.00pm. Myself and my brother couldn't get in anywhere else, so respect to The Old Forge Bar. No we were on holidays by the way.

29/06/2025: Staff steal pints when you go to toilet, First time it happened, I put it down to being my fault, But 2nd time ... it's a policy

17/10/2025: It was ok in here. But the Murphy's wasn't as good as other bars near here. The service was fast and friendly.

21/05/2024: I love it!! Simply the best chailatte.

14/03/2024: The coffee here is so bad I want to slam my head off the wall.
