The best restaurants

12/08/2025: This place is a joke. We tried to order beers while we looked at the food menu and the waitress immediately copped an attitude and said “this is a restaurant, what food do you want?” We tried to explain that we weren't sure on what food we wanted to order yet but she just kept repeating “this is a restaurant, you order food”. We left immediately without a second thought. It was the most unwelcoming experience in an otherwise very welcoming country. Ownership should be ashamed. This place doesn’t have time for people apparently. I guess they don’t like making money either. Wild.

12/08/2025: A great little spot not to go unnoticed in such a busy area. I'm sure it's fine to get a pint but the food is great and they have good breakfast. They were even so good that they shared the recipe they use for their bread which was amazing which I posted here.

07/08/2025: Tuna melt was yum, toasties also very good and the soup gets 100 points (according to my son), coffee also very good.

05/08/2025: Super rooftop restaurant, definitely stop off , well worth a visit

19/07/2025: We ordered sandwiches for a wedding after party held in town. We thought we left it too late but the staff at the Fisherman's Warf were fantastic and advised on how much we needed for 30 guests. They delivered all the food on time and the sandwiches were delicious! Thank you!

02/07/2025: Excellent service, relaxing atmosphere and food is fresh and healthy. Well worth a visit.

11/08/2025: delicious food and prompt delivery

09/08/2025: We had food inside the restaurant. Atmosphere is terrible. Food is poor. They have bottles of warm tap water lined up behind the counter which they serve, not an ice cube in site. Menu is rubbish also. Nothing like real Thai food. Won't go again.

16/07/2025: (Traducido por Google) El amable personal del hotel típico de autobús está a 25 minutos del aeropuerto y a 20 minutos del centro de la ciudad, con varios bares y restaurantes cerca. (Original) Typical coach hotel friendly staff 25 mins from the airport and 20mins from the city centre with several bars and restaurants close by

13/07/2025: Spent a lovely night there, had dinner, food beautiful

10/08/2025: Dinner for a family gathering, everyone absolutely loved it. I rarely get my steak rare/blue as I like it and they did exactly what I was hoping for. Non meat dishes were lovely too and gorgeous sides. Will definitely go again to try also starters and desserts

08/08/2025: After visiting Trim Castle I wanted to sit outside and Google Maps came up with this place. I went for seabass with honey roast vegetables, a lemon caper beurre blanc sauce, and mash. It was perfect; I'm not a big fan of fish, primarily because it often tastes bland or way too salty, one or the other (this has probably to do with the fact that in the vast majority of Irish restaurants fish is not particularly fresh). Not so here: it was perfect. The seabass was yummy; delicate, fresh, and not too salty but nicely spiced. Everything was lovely, the sauce too. I don't eat sweets at all, but I thought this one day I will and I went for Anna Pavlova, named after one of the dancing partners of the legendary ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, who created choreography for masterpieces such as "Rite of Spring" and "Jeux", and whose half-tragic, half-comic diary I'm currently listening on my work commutes. Pavlova was gorgeous too, and not too sweet either. Last but not least, I would like to give a shout out to a lovely couple who attended to my dining needs - this is service as it should be: warm and prompt but unobtrusive. I was joking that I should be coming to them from Dublin for my lunch breaks to find this kind of peace.

09/08/2025: Lovely place! Very friendly! All the staff were lovely. Manager Peter couldn't be more helpful 😊 Recommended

07/08/2025: Great food and service! Would definitely recommend the crispy chicken wings and the steaks!!

20/07/2025: Our last beverage before returning to Massachusetts after our Bunratty Medieval feast and ten days of exploring the area. Durty Mary's has a quintessential Irish atmosphere with a relaxed vibe and a great musician tucked away who was quite good. We had accidentally deleted the phone number for our cab and the bartender demonstrated the best hospitality by securing us another cab, and he also kept watch for us. He even escorted us to meet the driver. We had a great conversation with some native Northerners also on holiday ending our evening with hugs and handshakes. Thank you for your hospitality.

18/07/2025: Our least favorite place about the castle. Everyone in the castle was lovely and friendly. Everyone in this place seemed like they didn’t like Americans or didn’t want us there. Did not feel welcomed. Food was good.

31/07/2025: My favourite spot in Dublin (if not the country) for food! Always delivers the flavour. First time in the new premises but great to see the same friendly staff and high quality food continue. Always recommend Alma to anyone looking for good food in Dublin knowing they won't be disappointed.

23/07/2025: A difficult spot to visit due to high demand & limited space however worth the effort of making a reservation ahead to visit. I recommend trying the avocado toast and the pancakes after to share. Fresh orange juice and a coffee are also a great option at Alma. I recommend checking them out.

01/08/2025: Lovely food especially the pepperoni would go again

26/07/2025: The vegetarian pizza was terrible, the sauce tasted like ketchup, and the vegetables like straight from a can. However, we also had a meat pizza which was delicious! They clearly know how to make good pizza, just could put in more effort for their vegetarian customers. I hope that changes in the future.

13/08/2025: Love the dining room here. Menu is varied and everything we had was just delicious pate, seafood chowder , seafood food melody (but boring) mains of beef, duck and salmon all superb. Desserts of cheese cake and bread and butter pudding (bit dry and bland) . €39 for lunch . Worth it !! Staffed by highly trained waiters and waitresses all very friendly and most efficient.

12/08/2025: 3rd time here, gets booked out very quickly so take your chance when you can. Lovely hotel in the centre of Ennis town, rooms large, clean and very comfortable. Kettle and coffee machine, safe and plenty of storage. Bathroom with bath and shower in. Staff always very friendly and helpful. Had dinner outside I the garden as the weather was lovely.

14/07/2025: Beautiful decor and surroundings. Had the most beautiful steak sandwich ever.

17/06/2025: We had dinner on Fathers Day, the food was excellent and service brilliant. My husband is a coeliac and vegetarian and they were extremely accommodating

07/07/2025: The set menu was a great choice – got to taste a bit of everything and it was all fresh and delicious. Service was super friendly and fast. Totally worth a try!

28/06/2025: We had an outstanding experience at The Lucky Tortoise Dim Sum Restaurant. We chose the set meal and loved every bite. The miso soup was comforting and full of flavour, the bao buns were soft and packed with tasty fillings, and the kimchi added a perfect tangy kick. The tempura cauliflower was especially delicious — crispy, light, and incredibly moreish. Every dish was fresh, beautifully prepared, and bursting with flavour. Five stars from us!

24/07/2025: We had a wonderful anniversary dinner. The staff made our evening really special. The food was really good and we had a lovely evening, The restaurant gave us a special decorated plate to go home with that had been decorated with ice-cream and candles. They were all lovely. I cannot rate this establishment highly enough.

05/07/2025: This place is brilliant. We were up filming in the locality and ate here both nights. They found us a table at a time that suited us (not them) the second night even though they were fully booked out. Can’t praise the staff highly enough. Probably one of the best services I have ever had. Attentive funny engaging but not over intrusive. I don’t write any / many reviews but they do deserve it.

16/08/2025: Beautiful house with interesting exhibitions, close to the beach. Lovely park worth a stroll. Well-organized café with friendly service.

16/08/2025: From the site you can access the beach on the ocean (obviously only at low tide) but there are wonderful views
