19/07/2026: 5 of us had a lovely evening meal here. The restaurant is small but light and comfortable. It was busy even at 18:30 on Saturday evening. To start we had the crab and n’duja bao, duck liver pate, & ceviche. As my main I had the amazing burrata with cucumber and tomatoes with delicious minty pesto-type dressing and chunky chips The others at my table all had the hake and mussels. Everything was fantastic. I had the flourless chocolate cake with boozy cherries and vanilla icecream- OMG it was devine!

11/07/2026: We just had a spectacular meal here. Really delicious food, very nice service, couldn't fault it. We probably ordered too much food (one dish each off each section plus a couple of sides) but every dish was gorgeous! We'll definitely be back!

30/07/2026: No dogs allowed inside and you can't eat outside... very disappointing.

29/07/2026: Highly recommended, fish & chips are great, service is ok, Guinness is delicious

20/06/2026: Myself and my Dad met at the South County on a Friday evening for a drink and a bite to eat. It was one of the most enjoyable evenings we've had for years. The place was packed and had a fantastic atmosphere. Service at the bar was top class. The wait staff were also exceptional. We both ordered the chicken schnitzel and would highly recommend it. We had a great chat with the owner, Kieran, who couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. Overall, 5 star experience in every area. Already looking forward to going back. Thanks again Kieran & Team

16/06/2026: Great spot but I feel horrible after the curry - total MSG overload and had a splitting headache and all the other MSG symptoms. Tasted good though! Leek and potato soup was amazing

08/05/2026: I met a guy here who was not shy about telling me how little he liked one of the other customers

01/05/2026: Genuinely old school pub. Pints of stout are also pure cream

03/11/2025: Great customer service. Food is so fresh and tasty. Was so accommodating to our baby as well

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. 😊🤗

24/07/2026: This place was absolutely amazing. The sushi was perfect. The tempura was fabulous. The atmosphere was just right. The were very busy so I would have liked to have gotten some dessert but despite trying to catch their attention a couple of times nobody stopped to take my dessert order, and eventually I just paid and left.

17/07/2026: Great place. A cozy nook on the busy Oliver Plunkett Street, dishing out some great flavours. Loved the dishes I tried. Team Wabi Sabi you guys are doing great. This itself tells the story, I missed to take photographs as I just couldn't hold back and immersed myself.

16/05/2026: Great spot. Lovely coffee and food. Staff friendly and helpful

10/05/2026: Absolutely beautiful spot. Divine baked goods and lovely drinks. A lovely dog friendly spot too - my dog was delighted with his pup cup!
