The best restaurants

31/01/2025: No longer in existence, had that mistake a couple of weeks ago.

11/02/2025: Beautiful coffee and service in the heart of callan

02/02/2025: Lovely busy spot, great staff, and good coffees and food.

15/08/2024: Garlic bread as a starter: cheese supplement: €1. I'll order it without cheese. "But are you sure? Because it's really dry without cheese..." "I'm not a fan of cheese." "What if it's really not strong? Because it's really dry without..." Anyway, I ordered it without. But damn, it was dry because there was no dressing in the accompanying salad! Vinaigrette? Or is just oil too much to ask? I ordered a main course next. I waited for someone to clear my order to find out about desserts... No one came in 10 minutes! I left.

20/07/2024: Great food great staff clean toilets !

26/09/2025: We were passing through when we came across The Max Bite. At first we were skeptical, but the owner made us a phenomenal kebab. Honestly, it's in my top 3 kebabs I've ever had. It's a shame we won't be able to come back for a second visit anytime soon;)

04/09/2024: Martina at Bliss, Ardee is an amazing skilled baker and a lovely lady. She made our wedding cake and it was beyond our expectations. As we had no idea what we wanted she met us at her lovely shop to discuss over excellent coffee. She helped guide us in our choice and we left the creative design to her. We were blown away on the day when a beautifully decorated cake was personally delivered to our venue and set up to perfection. It provided a lovely end to our wedding meal and enjoyed by our guests with ( thankfully) some left for us the following day. We can't thank Martina enough for the beautiful cake, her complete professionalism and being part of our fantastic day. Thank you Martina. Jennifer & Harry

10/07/2024: €9 for a slice of cheesecake and a cup of coffee, in Ardee! You would expect to pay that sitting outside on the Champs Elysee. Avoid, stop at a filling station. Response to owners: At the trivial level I feel that I was caught for a sucker, I’ll get over it and it won’t break me. At the more serious level any tourist who felt that they were similarly done over in Bliss is likely to avoid any other artisan tea rooms in the whole of Ireland. So one business that works to this business model will actually spoil things for so many other similar establishments. The cheesecake and coffee were fine but not exceptional. In any similar French town we see the pâtisserie and boulangerie. These businesses are typically family run and will have been in place for decades and will be still there well into the future. So many attempts at this in Ireland are nothing more than pop-up shops that last just a few years. I feel that crucial difference is that the French do it to make a living, many Irish do it to make a killing.

23/07/2025: really enjoyed fish and chips and crab roll. Been here many times. Why oh why do they not provide disposable table cloths our " table " had bird poo on it. This is only complaint.

15/07/2025: I ordered the gluten free fish and chips. The chips were lovely but the fish had an unusual metallic taste, the portion size was excellent with plenty of fish but it wasn’t as good as it could be. As a coeliac I don’t get to eat fish and chip all that often so I was alittle disappointed.

04/08/2025: Kathline is the best person ever when your hungry and is great craic. service is pretty grand cant complain, you would always meet a local at the chipper chatting away and the food is great defo better than McDonald thank you very much kilmihil - jack moffet helped make this

11/03/2025: Cash only, no debit cards. Hot chips, spring roll and 2 sausages €9. Looks clean.

12/07/2025: Picking up the phone and slamming it down refusing to speak, very poor way to conduct business, a customer lost permanently

01/05/2025: Hello, I was once at your restaurant asking for vegan stuff, you asked me "leaf!?" And what should I say now... I will eat some pork or chicken stuff if I'm going on my next surf trip. I am healed now from veganism. Many love, zeli.
