The best restaurants

27/02/2026: If you’re anywhere around the northwest and haven’t called into Stoked Strandhill, you’re seriously missing out. From the moment you walk in, there’s a great atmosphere, relaxed, welcoming and stylish without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable in. The tapas-style plates are exceptional. The quality of the food and the produce they use really stands out. Every dish is packed with flavour, thoughtfully put together and perfect for sharing. It’s a menu that encourages you to order a few plates for the table and enjoy the experience at your own pace. The service is next to none. Shane and Angie run a fantastic operation and it shows. They’re hands-on, professional and make everyone feel genuinely looked after. You can tell there’s real pride behind what they’ve built. It’s easily one of the top spots around and a must-visit if you’re in the northwest. Highly, highly recommended

07/03/2026: Exceptional night for our party of 27. Every course was superb. Sincere thanks to all in Dela for a wonderful experience

06/03/2026: EXCEPTIONAL! 5 stars all around. All the staff were extremely attentive, well informed and went above and beyond. Then the coffee came out and blew us away. Such a cool design but also so tasty. We love speciality coffee and this didnt disappoint, then to find out the owners roast their own coffee! So cool. But the final star was the food. EXCEPTIONALLY fresh using only the best ingredients. Highly recommend. ❤️

06/03/2026: Nice cafe in quiet part of Dublin nice stouts

28/02/2026: A tiny bit overrated in my opinion

26/02/2026: Went a couple years ago with my mother. Never left a review then, but it was incredible, a hidden gem with great atmosphere and wonderful fresh food, in a wonderful setting too.

28/09/2025: We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The seafood was incredibly fresh and delicious – every dish was beautifully prepared and presented. We truly enjoyed everything and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

05/02/2026: Probably one of the best burgers and pizzas we've had. Those guys know what they are doing absolutely fantastic place

31/01/2026: The Woodfire is a great place to eat and dine, if you have a hankering for Pizza. Wifey and Hubby went with a couple of friends. And all were happy and full with the menu. Wifey and Hubby Haven't been back for at least 6 odd years. Back then the menu range was bigger and more diverse. Now they are more selective, specialising in pizzas. A decent meal option, which they do very well. Hubby was silly, opting not to pizza, in a place that specializes in oven pizzas. Everyone else did, hubby went with the lamb burger, which was great, but was something he did regret. I like Pizza, I prefer a deep pan style myself, here they prefer the thin crust. but the question hubby asked himself was would I order it for dinner? Still Wifey had the pineapple one, which I had a few slices of. Regardless of the pineapple topping, I cannot fault it in the slightest. The only disappointment with the menu was the lack of desserts or even coffees at the end. We all left full and not wanting more, but I wish there was something available to end the meal. Side note, the chips are good too. Hand cut and homemade. A small decent high quality portion. Either way a great place to eat pizza and wine. Or in Hubby's case IPA, definitely recommend...

25/01/2026: This restaurant is such a cute place! I’ve most delicious clam chowder soup & a very fresh garden salad. The service was excellent, friendly people and delicious food. Recommended! 🍲🥗

29/10/2025: Charming restaurant with delicious food. I was there at the end of July with my mother staying within walking distance of the restaurant, and it was one of the best meals we had during our 5 day trip in Ireland.

04/02/2026: The only thing I had an issue with was the price! Typical Dublin though – very expensive.

04/02/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars Had a fantastic experience at Izakaya Tapas & Sake. The food was outstanding — fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. A special thank you to Christine, our waitress, who was absolutely brilliant. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Her service really elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend this place for amazing food, great vibes, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be back!

02/03/2026: A pleasant dining room with a fireplace or a view of the moors. Friendly and efficient service. Tasty dishes, generously portioned, at reasonable prices (under €20). Delicious homemade cheesecake for a sweet finish! One of our favorite places during our tour of Ireland.

17/02/2026: Really lovely spot. The owner is so charismatic and friendly, you can tell he really cares about his business. The food was lovely too, very hearty Irish food. Would definitely recommend.

14/02/2026: Just had a beautiful valentines dinner! Thank you to the staff and chefs for a wonderful experience

09/02/2026: Food absolutely beautiful. Staff friendly too. Well worth visiting if in Ballycotton. On a lovely day its a stunning place to visit and The Salty Dog is an ideal place to have good quality food with friendly service.

14/03/2026: Food was doable but service far below par. C’mon guys its not that hard to run a proper snack bar

14/03/2026: Shitty place, way too long wait and tasteless food

11/01/2026: I’ve lived in Dublin for 6 years and have always walked by Slice - finally went in today for brunch and I’m blown away by how delicious it was!!!! Will absolutely be returning. Those miso mushrooms will be in my dream. For sure the best brunch I’ve ever had in Dublin xx

02/01/2026: We get there to have a breakfast, the food is amazing! The waiters are very friendly. Best way to start the day!

01/02/2026: Arrived there recently for a few drinks i didn't stay to long as the front bar resembled a dog show, there was 6 dogs roaming around the front bar with their owners very off putting especially inna premises that serves food.

03/01/2026: Great pub, lovely friendly staff

14/03/2026: A handy place where I go especially for vegan products. The prices are a bit high and the last time I was there with my family on 8.03.26 the service was not very pleasant. One of the ladies refused to serve me because I didn't follow the order (I didn't stand in line) even though I had followed it, so I had to sit in line again. I was very disappointed but I tried not to ruin my day.

13/03/2026: Delicious Donots in lost of flavours
