Fowlers
Malahide
22/06/2025: If you are looking to eat somewhere, AVOID!!!! All the food was terrible quality. I got a pizza and it tasted like it was purchased in Centra and stuck in the oven. Disgusting. Staff are also untrained. Good atmosphere
21/06/2025: Good food selection of traditional Irish and other standard pub fare and a kids menu. Large establishment with lots of seating, local hurling matches on TV and cold drinks situated right on a very cool city street that's closed for pedestrian traffic only. Safe and clean, kids welcome

20/07/2025: Great food, in a friendly spot - well done team at Tower & Castle
05/07/2025: Excellent value for money restaurant. Mid range food really well presented at great prices. Always delivers on flavour and service. Cool playlist and dog friendly to boot. Highly recommend for those on the move, visitors or meeting up for a cuppa and scones.

Town Yard Modern Bistro
Malahide
23/07/2025: We were there on a Wednesday evening, busy but not packed; nice background noise and quiet enough to have a conversation.
Waiters were very attentive which was reflected in the tip!
The food is good and reasonable, we enjoyed a couple of cocktails before the dinner.
Nice place, will definitely go back.
13/07/2025: Great brunch was had in Town Yard. I went for the poached eggs with Halloumi and it was nice. The service was good too. I recommend.

An spidéal
09/08/2025: Amazing place!! The breakfast was the best I've had, probably ever! They really don't go cheap with the ingredients, and the kids devoured the pancakes, 100% recommend, I'll definitely be back, amazing service too
06/08/2025: Lovely cafe situated in great craft village. I would recommend a visit.

Old Music Shop
Dublin
31/07/2025: We booked an afternoon tea for two at 3 PM at The Old Music Shop in Dublin, and from the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for.
While booking online, I requested a window table if possible — not only did they accommodate this, but they went above and beyond. We were greeted with a big smile and such a joyful attitude that it set the tone for the entire experience. I had called earlier to say we might be running late, and instead of any stress, they completely reassured us — no pressure, no problem.
The staff was outstanding. They created a warm, personal atmosphere, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. I wish I had caught the names of the team (two hostesses and a host), because they absolutely deserve to be recognized. At one point, the owner, Finn, came over to check on us 🤯 — and we made sure to tell him just how fantastic the team had been.
The room itself, part of The Castle Hotel, is beautifully decorated and has that quiet, timeless charm that makes you want to stay for hours. Natural sunlight poured in through the windows, adding to the peaceful and elegant vibe.
The menu matched exactly what was shown online and exceeded our expectations. We started with a generous selection of flavorful sandwiches, moved on to fresh scones (oh god 😍), and ended with a delightful variety of desserts — chocolate mousse, macarons, and more. The tea and coffee selection was great, and we were even offered free refills after the first round, which was a lovely touch.
We’re not experts, but we’ve had our share of visiting cafes, restaurants, etc. — and this place gave us far more than we expected for the price. Honestly, I’m worried I won’t have such a good experience again for a long, long time. My mother was beyond happy, and I know she’ll treasure this day for years.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for such a memorable evening ❤️ — and to Finn for checking in and making us feel like more than just customers.
22/06/2025: Had afternoon tea here with my parents on father’s day. The atmosphere was very cozy and relaxing. Tables are spaced out so it doesn’t feel crammed. Tea was perfect & lots of flavours to choose from.
The food was delicious. Good value for such a lovely afternoon tea. Will definitely be back.

21/06/2025: Pedí un tostado de jamón y queso salió con salsa y lechuga en él. Terrible
Pedí una botella de sidra de una pinta dijo que no había, pero que lo tenían, así que tuve que conseguir una sidra diferente
Terrible servicio

Gallagher's Boxty House, menu
Dublin
12/08/2025: This place was awesome, definitely stop by if you can. The food was all SO SO good. Our server Thalia was phenomenal as well!! Highly recommend all around.
12/08/2025: What can I say about this hidden gem in the Temple Bar area of Dublin?
Well surprisingly a lot and you have to experience the food and ambience to love it as much as I did. This restaurant gives you everything the Irish are famous for like the food, hospitality, friendliness, charm and love of music and life.
Food was amazing and I would recommend the Gaelix Boxty.
David our waiter was fabulous and even though the restaurant was full he found time to make us feel that we were his only table.
He was so easy going yet professional, his demeanor was awesome, he had a wonderful way of letting us know that he was always there for us without interruptimg our conversation or meal. As we were paying for dinner we got the chance to talk a little with him and he brought a smile to my face as he knew I was a Mackem as soon as I told him I was originally from Sunderland. Oh and that @SAFC had made it back to the EFL premiership this year. These little things would make any guest feel special.
If you are ever in Dublin Temple Bar area stop by and tell David him I sent you. 😉

Ananda
Dublin
02/08/2025: Ananda is, and always has been, the place to go for fine Indian cuisine.
They're recently introduced Himalayan Tasting Menu continues their tradition of innovative representations of Indian region cuisine. The combination of originality, taste, presentation and efficient, attentive and courteous service marks this place out as somewhere really special.
21/07/2025: Teníamos un menú degustación del Himalaya que era increíble, moderno y fantástico. Los cursos eran recetas tradicionales indias traducidas al estilo moderno, absolutamente sorprendentes y deliciosos. El restaurante es elegante y moderno fuera del centro de la ciudad. Hay una estación de taxi justo en frente, esto hace que su visita sea mucho más fácil.

24/06/2025: This place has really good coffee! They also have a unique front door. The interior is quite strange, but I think it fits the Irish trend. I'm glad I was here and I think I'll be back.
24/06/2025: Super nice vibe to this place and staff is very polite and gracious. Had a delicious coffee and a brownie. Was fab!

Halo Restaurant
Dublin
16/08/2025: The view was unappealing, but the room and service made up for it.
15/08/2025: I expected a 5-star experience at The Morrison Dublin, Hilton Curio, but this stay was shockingly poor, nowhere near Hilton standards.
Check-in was pushy about breakfast, unhelpful otherwise, and never confirmed if my paid upgrade was honored. My “upgraded” room was beside loud, incessant construction with no prior notice. If I’d known, I would never have booked.
When moved to another “upgraded” room, amenities failed: the SMEG coffee maker didn’t work, shampoo was missing (and replaced with conditioner), the smoke alarm’s bright green light disrupted sleep, and the heat didn’t function. My Roku worked in the first room but not the second, staff didn’t even know casting had been removed. No Netflix or YouTube made the TV useless.
Only the concierge (Ricardo) and one bellhop (Rushikesh) were pleasant. The manager, Rory Rooney, avoided apologizing and failed to address issues directly when taking us to the new room.
On the last night, a deafening 5 a.m. alarm forced guests into the hallway. No explanation until the manager yelled it was a false alarm, adding to the panic. Locked hallways posed a safety hazard.
To top it off, when I asked for the manager the next morning, a desk agent (Lin) assumed I was applying for a job when I asked to speak to the manager and told me to “come back with my CV.” Completely unacceptable.
Hilton should address staff communication, guest safety, and quality here. A true 5-star would close construction areas, not subject guests to them. This was easily the most disappointing Hilton stay I’ve had.

Playtown Tullamore
Tullamore
04/08/2025: Travelled an hour to this place. Worth the drive. Fantastic unique facility
Playtime provides an alternative play zone for children. Lots of little rooms with different themes for dress up and play. Etc kitchen, fire station, vet clinic, doll's nursery, spaceship etc.
Also an area for older kids but we didn't experience this
26/07/2025: Recently visited on a trip down from Dublin. Really great place and Frankie was really sound. Our daughter loves it and didn't want to leave. Already planning trip back

Kielys Chipper
Cork
25/07/2025: Amazing GF fish & chips: crisp not greasy, super friendly service, would give it 6 stars if I could! Visiting from Newfoundland, Canada, where we also have excellent fish & chips, but this place is next level!!
25/07/2025: Wonderful lunch of fish & chips at Kielys. Best homemade tartar sauce I’ve ever had! While others in our party chose this place due to it being gluten free, I’ve got to say it’s the best fish & chips I’ve ever had anywhere! Highly recommend!
