The best restaurants

01/07/2026: Great food &service always with friendly staff. Barman on the ball with the pints.

22/06/2026: Stopped for coffee and scones and to use the facilities for baby changing. Great spot for a casual cosy, very well kept and traditional inside. Staff were very friendly. Coffee was good, scone was good and came with fresh cream which was a nice touch. We'll be making it a regular stop from now on

22/06/2026: Very good service from Trevor and Noel.

11/06/2026: Great local pub in Wexford town, extremely friendly owner and locals. Had great banter about Limerick Hurling and Ryder Cup, owner looking for tickets! Pints of Guinness and Coors were top class. Decor is amazing, old signs etc. Very clean and comfortable. One of my top ten pubs in Ireland!

17/07/2026: The best food in town! I was in Maynooth for a few days and I had some problems finding veg-friendly options... I found a place friendlier than I could ever hope for! Nidhi's cuisine is fantastic. I trusted her with all of the meals I had at the Beetroot café (that's because I didn't know what kind of food was behind the Indian names!) and I'd sincerely advise you to do the same. The place is so welcoming you end up feeling you're at someone's house. In the photos you can see a potato paratha, a dosa, and the last one is a paneer veg korma curry with hariyali pulav for takeaway (please correct me if I'm wrong). Even if you're in Dublin, it is worth it to take a train, enjoy a nice day in Maynooth and an even nicer meal at the Beetroot café!

01/07/2026: This place is so lovely, and the owner is so sweet! Best Dhal I’ve had. Would highly recommend

28/06/2026: All Fridays, it couldn't have been any other way. Homemade food, homemade portions, and a milk bar-like atmosphere. What more could you ask for! They say not everyone can eat a pork chop 😁 I managed it and was stuffed for a long time! The pork chop is flattened to the size of the plate, with potatoes hidden underneath. I highly recommend it, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in Dublin again 😋

22/06/2026: Everything was really delicious and the portions were large!!!! The girls were very nice, I recommend it!!!!

20/07/2026: Great shop, the bakery is one of the best I've seen in any shop.

27/06/2026: Great store to go, from deli counter great selection of sandwiches rolls and breakfast roll, great selection of cakes buns donuts and eclairs in bakery section, great selection of beer Red/ white wine whiskey gin vodka and Bailey in off licence section, in meat counter section ham turkey corn beef luncheon roll, great selection of meat in butchers counter steak lamb / pork chops liver etc.. and great selection of other shopping products etc.. management and staff very helpful, there always good bond management/staff with customers.. Keep up good work 👍.

10/07/2026: Cool spot, one of the few coffee shops in Dublin that has good cold brew coffee

08/07/2026: Really good coffee and toasts. The vegan toast was delicious!

06/06/2026: Very busy spot but staff are great. Food is top notch. Best to book a table in advance if you can.

10/07/2026: We had a fantastic family dinner at House of Plates in Castlebar and it exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the restaurant had a warm, intimate atmosphere that immediately made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. The dining room is beautifully presented and strikes a perfect balance between being elegant without feeling overly formal. The food was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening. Every dish was beautifully presented with real attention to detail, and the flavours throughout the meal were exceptional. You can tell there is genuine care and creativity behind every plate. We especially loved the baked cod, which was cooked perfectly and packed with flavour, and the steak, which was tender, rich and expertly prepared. The scallops were outstanding, cooked beautifully and complemented by fantastic accompaniments, while the duck was another memorable course that everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed. Every member of our family commented on how much they loved their meal, which says a lot when everyone orders something different. One thing that really stood out was the generosity. The portion sizes were excellent, particularly considering the quality of the food. We were also pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful chef’s treats that arrived throughout the meal, adding an extra touch of luxury and making the whole experience feel special. The additional side dishes served with the mains were another unexpected bonus that we hadn’t anticipated and were very much appreciated. The wine pairings listed on the menu deserve a special mention. They were exceptionally well chosen and complemented each course perfectly, enhancing the flavours without overpowering them. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a complete dining experience rather than simply serving great food. The value for money is remarkable. A menu offering two courses for €55 or three courses for €62 is incredibly competitive considering the quality of the ingredients, the presentation, the additional chef’s surprises and the overall standard of cooking. It genuinely feels like you’re receiving a fine dining experience at a very fair price. If I was to offer any constructive feedback, it would only be on a couple of very small points. The lamb was slightly more cooked than we would have preferred, and while all of the staff were polite, the two younger members of the team could perhaps bring a little more enthusiasm and warmth to the service. These were very minor observations and certainly didn’t take away from what was otherwise a wonderful evening. Overall, House of Plates is a fantastic addition to Castlebar’s dining scene. Exceptional food, beautiful presentation, generous portions, excellent wine pairings, thoughtful little extras throughout the meal and outstanding value for money all combine to create a memorable dining experience. We left already talking about what we’d order on our next visit, which is always the best sign. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend House of Plates to anyone looking for a special meal, and we’ll definitely be back.

29/07/2026: There's sushi and then there's The Sushi and the art of making it with care, taste and precision. Everything I had was created with love for the food, presentation and balance in taste. I had the Kara-age, salmon omakase, miso soup and salmon cucumber rolls. The owner explained kindly to me that they make their own miso soup with Shiitake and the miso was one of the best I hyve ever had. Sincere Thank you very much for the experience, delicious food and kind chats to your last client of the day. Will be back next time when in Galway!

19/07/2026: I’m so glad we found this café today! It was the first place where I finally had a really great coffee. We came back later for some cakes, and everything was absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even more special. You can really feel the care they put into both their service and their food. Highly recommend this lovely café if you’re in Galway. We’ll definitely be back!
