The best restaurants

03/06/2026: It pains me a bit to leave the review because the service staff were great. But my food was woeful. That's why I'm giving one star. It should be acknowledged that the staff provided a discount which was appreciated, and it's definitely not their fault. We arrived at 5:30pm as we have young kids. I ordered the lamb shank. I have eaten and cooked many a lamb shank. They cannot be messed up. The flavour on these were good. But several vegetables were undercooked. That would be acceptable if the shank was fall off the bone. But...no. I could barely cut through the meat and I could see gelatinous lines on almost every bite. Fall off the bone? Ha! I could stand my fork up in it, and in fact I pixked the whole shank up to show the staff. Again the wait staff were great but after seeing the rooms in the hotel and the quality of this food I'm questioning whether this hotel is worthwhile and feel like I've lost money.

02/06/2025: Christine was able to fit us in at relatively short notice and produced a beautiful and delicious cake. The birthday girl was delighted and all our guests commented on how lovely the cake was. Only crumbs left! I would certainly recommend to others and will be getting all my occasion cakes from Christine in future

01/05/2025: Lovely lady very quick to reply and her cakes are just amazing always taste and look great

01/03/2025: Worst coffee ever in Dublin. The lady has clearly no understanding of anything related with coffee.

24/10/2023: Their eurobox is a pretty good deal for the money

09/10/2023: Fast delivery, food is amazing! My husband loves meat sung and this one is best in town. I had General Tso and it was very tasty! Spend 50€ got free prawn crackers, free bottle of 7up and gift of salt and chili chicken ! It made our evening thank you ! :)

13/06/2026: Great stock and especially quality of advice - freely given. Plus dog-friendy! .

25/08/2026: Starlite Diner is a genuine gem. A family-run staple in Killorglin going strong across multiple generations. It's wonderful to see it thriving. The food is consistently excellent, genuinely delicious, cooked with intention and care. Big portion sizes for affordable prices. I've tried a good range from the menu over the last couple visits, and I've never once had a negative experience. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. The staff are warm and friendly, and they treat every customer like family. You get a genuine warm welcome every time you walk through the door. Whenever I'm in Killorglin I always try to make time to get some grub from here. If there's any small, family-run takeaway that deserves a perfect review, it's this one. Highly recommend.

22/05/2026: Great food and fresh well priced too. Staff are very friendly and welcoming definitely worth a call if your passing through.

22/04/2025: I recently visited the pub, and I was genuinely impressed. Lee a man of many talents waiter, barman, and chef and somehow excels at them all. His warm hospitality, quick service, and absolutely delicious food made the experience unforgettable. The aquarium, in particular, adds a unique and calming touch it’s not something you’d expect in a pub, but it works beautifully. The only down side to the night was when he seduced my wife into the kitchen and done her but he put on an episode of family guy for me to watch while I was waiting thought that was proper sound. Would highly recommend

02/01/2025: Wife and I were out for the night, she was all dressed up and hoping to get ploughed. Found this fine establishment but unfortunately, Lee got there first. The wife got rode red raw in the cleanest jax she said she's ever seen. Enjoyed the nachos but I had to take two stars off because the telly showed the Irish lad getting kicked out of the darts and it was awful noisy in the place. Could have done with some live music. It was hard going alternating between the racket from the kitchen, the bathroom and the wife. Lee is some man, gave me a commemorative singing fish to take home.

12/12/2024: I had eaten a few days ago and I enjoyed the dinner. But today, unfortunately, lunch was terrible. Dry bread, too burnt! Unfortunately I couldn't finish my lunch. During these days that I'm staying in the hotel I'll eat elsewhere!

19/09/2024: Fabulous service, lovely staff and the food was exceptional. We would go again without a doubt. I will recommend and come again.

24/12/2025: McDonald’s Bar in Enniscorthy is nothing short of a marvel, a splendidly preserved fragment of a saner, better dressed and traditional age. One enters, dinner jacket lightly brushing the doorframe and is immediately greeted by a heady atmospheric note: the room itself exhales a distinctive petrol bouquet with a hint of whale oil top note, rather like a motorcar enthusiast’s club circa 1928. Utterly bracing. There is, of course, no beer and certainly no taps. Such vulgar modern conveniences are cast aside in favour of a magnificent array of spirits, each poured with the quiet assurance of a publican who has absolutely no intention of accepting your card. Cash only, as the Almighty intended. The refusal to accept card payments, far from being inconvenient, is positively commendable. It is high time society reacquainted itself with the wholesome simplicity of coin and note tangible currency that, unlike its digital counterparts, requires no signal, no battery and no apology to a malfunctioning machine. The hospitality is of the Bovril by the fireside variety: warm, sturdy, unmistakably traditional. One feels at once both a guest and a custodian of heritage. McDonald Bar and Lounge of Enniscorthy must be appraised, dear reader, in the elevated register it so richly deserves, for it was here by a most magnificent misunderstanding that Michael Jackson himself once alighted during the Irish leg of his world tour, lured not by music or mysticism but by the honest expectation of a Big Mac, having tragically confused the establishment with its transatlantic, sesame-seeded namesake; yet upon discovering his error, he was so utterly enamoured of the ambience redolent of conviviality, stout conversation and the heroic bouquet of petrol, engine oil and silage that he remained for 5 days, gloriously inebriated not on vulgar spirits but on atmosphere alone. During this historic residency, Maurice the barman, a man of statesmanlike composure and shaker-hand gravitas, struck up a lifelong friendship with Bubbles the monkey, who proved notoriously discerning and particularly partial to Maurice’s stock of woodbines and signature cocktail, the “Maurice Martini Sex on the Beach,” consumed with a delicacy that would shame many a cabinet minister. Maurice maintains to this very day, with the zeal of a man who has seen truth and returned, that a well-serviced and properly trained monkey is vastly superior to any service dog, a conviction he now espouses both nationally and internationally in his campaign to see monkeys replace guide dogs for the blind and beyond, an ambition as bold, improbable and unforgettable as McDonald’s itself. Maurice, spoken of in reverent tones over bottled stout, is an internationally recognised expert in correcting maladjusted household monkeys, especially the over-sexed and aggressive sort that constitute his daily bread. His old-world method of prawns, offal and ruminant fare works with such astonishing speed, that they defy numerical measurement, their speed best conveyed qualitatively, it can only be compared to the knicker-loosening velocity of a prime Zac Efron. The bar is filled with improbable history, including photos of Maurice chauffeuring Michael Jackson and his simian companion Bubbles around Enniscorthy in a German Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. Below this, he keeps one of the northern hemisphere’s most serious historical collections of National Socialism WWII artefacts, including the world’s foremost archive of Temmler Werke Pervitin (Methamphetaminum hydrochloricum), supplied in their correct period aluminium tubes and impeccably preserved Panzer and U-boat uniforms. All purely historical, of course, Maurice himself is a staunch libertarian. His parallel vocation, however, is rehabilitating troubled primates: Gerry “The Monk” Hutch’s chimp, Mike Tyson’s simians, the royal chimp-corgi dispute of 2001 and even escapees from The Tiger King milieu. He once even offered spiritual and dietary counsel to Prince Andrew during a bout of primitive behaviour in 2001, assistance rather unwisely declined.

28/09/2024: This cafe was our saving grace, we were staying in a local hotel but the hotel food was terrible so we found this hidden gem, the girls were so lovely and honestly couldn’t fault anything we even stoped in on our way home to pick up some apple pies, keep up the good work, if we ever find ourselves back in Cootehill you will be our first stop!

08/08/2024: The side street cafe is a lovely spot to visit and would recommend to friends and family! The staff here are lovely and very attentive even when the place is very busy. They have a great menu with a great mix of dishes! They also have a nice selection of deserts and smoothies! Very reasonable prices too!
