The best restaurants

29/09/2024: This tiny vegan gem tucked away in Blackrock Market is a must-try! They offer an international menu bursting with flavour. I opted for the avocado toast, and despite not being a fan of tomatoes or un-smashed avocado, I was pleasantly surprised. We all devoured our food – it was that good! Even the oil they used was delicious. My lactose-intolerant friend had a great selection to choose from, which is always a plus. The service was warm and friendly, with a lovely family atmosphere.

04/09/2024: Cute little vegan cafe in Blackrock. What I loved most apart from their coffee and cakes was the service - very kind owner and waiter. Only downside for me was that there was a tiny fly in my coffee, but I wasn’t charged for it. Will definitely visit again to try more of their dishes

29/11/2024: I used to visit this place often but now the food quality has worsened. Soggy sandwiches. They don't even greet, no smile. Bakery stuff with fungus in the fridge. Would never go there ever again.

26/11/2024: What a beautiful little cafe. Full of gorgeous homemade bakes, sandwiches, great coffee and small amount of food retail. I had a toasted chicken and pesto on sourdough and finally, a toasted sandwich that's crispy and actually hot in the middle. It's devine! I got a few little treats for take away and can't wait to try later with the family. The cafe is dressed with lovely Xmas decs and there's Christmas cheer in the background. Super friendly staff also.. Definitely go if you havnt visited you won't be disappointed. 5 out of 5

25/11/2024: I love the food here, especially the lamb doner!

20/10/2024: I always got the snack box after along day and it sure did cheer me up, saw to see ur still closed

06/07/2025: I love The Wickham way , nice food, shops diversity and culture

20/06/2025: The amount and variety of events that occur in this bar is amazing. Easily the queer and alternative hub of Limerick. Drag shows as well as other events like poetry nights almost every week. Stuart is fantastic.

15/11/2024: I wanted to pickup too good to go but without further notice the store is closed at 2pm. Thanks for wasting my time

09/11/2024: Undeniably excellent coffee with unfortunately terrible management. I’ve been buying excellent coffee from VDA Naas for years as well as beans for my home machines but I’m having to reconsider supporting them due to their totally unpredictable opening hours. I drove down to the shop today to find them unexpectedly closed. This is 4th time over the last few months this has happened to me. Usually there’s a sign on the door which is annoying but at least it’s an explanation. Opening hours for today (Saturday November 9th) state on Google and their social media they are open until 4pm. I arrived to the shop to find them closed, lights off and no explanation. There was nothing on their social media to explain why. This is no way to run a business. How can I trust that I can enjoy a coffee from VDA Naas if I can never be sure they’re going to be open when I get there? It’s a fundamental expectation for a business to keep regular hours. I’ll reconsider returning in future if there is some sort of effort to improve this but until then, I’ll be taking my custom elsewhere. It’s extremely unfortunate as the coffee is great, the service is always friendly and it’s a lovely space to be in that’s dog friendly to boot. They just need to pull up their socks if they expect to compete with the vibrant coffee scene in Naas.

10/01/2025: The business was closed for three days last month. Weak pest control, open pipes and rat droppings led to a Westmeath take away being served a closure order last month. Take Away Express on Northgate Street in Athlone was issued the order on December 13th under the FSAI Act 1998, which was lifted three days later on the 16th. It was one of six food businesses across the country that was served a closure order by The Food Safety Authority of Ireland last month. The FSAI served 133 enforcement orders on food businesses in 2024, an increase of 45% from the 92 orders issued in 2023.

10/01/2025: Ordered a kebab meal, meat was cold, chips were cold, curry dip was cold. Would never consume again.

06/06/2025: Very nice coffee. Nice location. But the bathroom is a serious disappointment. In fact, after visiting the dirty bathroom, it put me off eating anything here.

04/03/2025: Great coffee and great people. Genuine service, top

09/02/2025: One of the truly great pubs in Ireland

19/07/2025: Best apple tart ever and i actually bought all my bread there yesterday n cakes - i was going to leave a good comment but after reading those comments about the way they treated those girls - i won't be supporting the place again !! it's an absolute disgrace to treat people with such disregard - giving up a job to start working with hassetts to be let go a few weeks later !!! Hassetts you should be ashamed of yourselves 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

23/07/2025: What a fantastic pub, recently opened in Hacketstown. Called in for a beer recently and I much say the atmosphere, the service, the friendly staff and the overall cleanliness of this pub was as good as it gets. I'll definitely be returning here again for another enjoyable evening
