The best restaurants

01/07/2026: Formerly the town residence of the Butler family, the beautifully appointed Cahir House Hotel gives the visitor an inkling of living like the aristocracy. Between the house, the rooms, the function rooms, bar and gardens, there is plenty of space to host your function or to enjoy your short stay. Plenty of social life surrounding the hotel right in the middle of town. Adequate parking and an outdoor BBQ in the garden. As it is located next door to Cahir Castle, the River Suir and 2km walk to the Swiss Cottage (the Butler family's summer house), there's plenty for the visitor to explore and enjoy.

27/06/2026: Such a cute hotel. The staff is friendly, the rooms clean. Only complaint, the folder told us "drinking the tap water isn't recommended," but we didn't get complimentary water. It wasn't a big deal, we just walked to the grocery store. And of course, no AC, but we were provided with a fan and left the windows open. As an American, we forget how we value our AC. But all together, we enjoyed our stay, we are happy and had another great lodging while in Ireland. And the hotel is a short walk from Cahir Castle.

19/06/2026: Beautiful atmosphere, lovely food and great service 😀

17/05/2026: Irish breakfasts put American breakfasts to shame. The full Irish was best breakfast I ever had. There were plenty of locals there that gave it a great hometown vibe.

09/08/2026: Impressive pub, plenty of Guinness flowing, happy and cheerful staff, people having fun, great music and lots of live entertainment.

08/08/2026: At the end of our stay in Dublin, we had already tried several very good pubs and restaurants, and this one was our last choice. It was very disappointing because the food was defrosted, tasteless, and very expensive for what it was. Furthermore, the additional 10% service charge at the end hadn't been mentioned beforehand, even though the service itself wasn't great.

15/07/2026: Excellent impromptu afternoon tea without a reservation, at a very reasonable price. The pastries are delicious without being heavy. A must-visit in the Temple Bar district.

09/07/2026: Nice spot to grab a drink and quick bite.

18/07/2026: Excellent food and service. Amazing flavours and portions are huge

16/07/2026: England va Argentina match. Everything was wonderful. Just I left my power bank behind the counter to charge. Will collect it in next day. Please keep it safe. 😊🤗

30/03/2026: This is a very unique venue for a wedding, the grounds are beautiful. A venue with character.

02/03/2026: We could not have been happier with our wedding at Rathsallagh House 😊 We live in Australia and only saw the venue in person for the first time on our wedding day - but from the start, the communication was super clear and Megan was so friendly that we always felt at ease. We genuinely trusted them to make our special day perfect, and they truly did. The house itself is spectacular. Driving up the avenue, we felt incredibly lucky to be getting married there. We had 70 guests at our wedding which was in the drawing room. We loved the cosy, warm, Christmas atmosphere. What we loved most, though, was the staff. We felt so special and so well looked after all day. Tara was our wedding coordinator on the day and made sure everything ran smoothly. She was supportive, warm and professional — exactly what you hope for on your wedding day. We had the glam room that morning, which was the perfect way to start the day. The room is beautiful and the food was lovely. Our guests are still talking about the two lads behind the bar — they were fantastic all night. The day after the wedding, Nikki kindly and enthusiastically took us on a tour of the house so we could see all the rooms. Our bridal room was amazing — we loved the bath, and enjoying a nice coffee brought to our room. We honestly can’t wait to return and wish we could do it all over again.

26/06/2026: Lovely food. Lovely staff. Special call out to Caroline. Very friendly, attentive and helpful.

24/05/2026: Kelly was an awesome server and the food here is absolutely delicious

28/06/2026: Great food and wonderful atmosphere!

21/05/2026: Staff attentive and lovely, could not fault, but food was average. Nice atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon.

15/07/2026: Food, service and price was great. I highly recommend this restaurant. If theres one small point i could make it would be the coke isn’t the original type and tastes differently. People love a good can of coke with a Pizza 🍕

12/07/2026: John was great! Highly recommend

14/05/2026: OMG!! The best bed... had the most relaxing shower also (the soap smells sooo IRISH SPRING like!!) What a a fancy spot. we left before breakfast, but we heard great things! Nestled in a quaint community. a 12 minute walk to shops, ice cream, a supermarket and the cutest flower shop ever! definitely recommend staying here when in Dublin!

14/05/2026: Was at a function there. Food that came during function was surprisingly poor. Chicken skewers with a grape stuck on the end of i which were bereft of colour/sauce, sausages with no colour & grain mustard & wings which were meh. Update: 2nd event attended, beef was chewy and almost inedible. Apart from that, the place is a gem

30/07/2026: Our sever Johnny M made this gem of a local pub an unforgettable spot. The vibe, the people in the bar, working the bar… even the amazing lot well behaved dogs at the bar. What a great local spot. Just off the beaten trail. Outstanding night, and as good of a Guiness pour you will ever find!

27/07/2026: The real deal. A local hub for a strong local community. Perfect Guinness and a genuine and friendly atmosphere. Exciting interior with lots to discover and learn about just on the way to the toilet. An honour to witness Mayo win Sam after all those 11 times in vain. Thank you.

13/07/2026: came here on multiple occasions during work lunches and I’ve always enjoyed the food and service at a reasonable price

11/07/2026: Great pub, stopped here overnight with the motorhome, had excellent breakfast as well

21/07/2026: Love this place! 10/10 for everything!

18/07/2026: A wonderful experience. A lovely, cosy place; the service is fantastic, the waiters are friendly, the food arrived very quickly and was delicious – simply perfect. It really surprised us – 10 out of 10. It’s become one of our favourite restaurants – highly recommended.

02/08/2026: The bar is beautiful, inside the Guinness building. You absolutely have to book. The food is fantastic and the service was excellent. After your meal, you can check out the Guinness interactive exhibit or go up to the terrace to enjoy the city skyline with a beer. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Dublin! ❤️

30/07/2026: Prices are understandably higher due to the location, but the cuisine is excellent, original, and well-prepared. It's not a tourist trap.

03/07/2026: Stopped in for a coffee on the way to the west coast. Lovely service, view and very tasty coffee!

24/06/2026: Loved the coffee here, it appears its run by a father and son team, great spot to grab a coffee or quick bite in Newbridge, and go for a stroll along side the Liffey river, will return for another coffee and grub for sure. Thanks
