The best restaurants in Carrigaline

22/12/2024: Zero atmosphere, can't stress how dead the vibe was. Coffee was average, not bad but nothing special. Pancakes are not fresh either which is not the impression you get looking at their Instagram. The positive reviews definitely went to a different cafe.

14/12/2024: Excellent place for a chat and coffee. Their kettle makes a great tea

25/10/2024: It’s been way to long since we were here excellent food lovely staff family owned will definitely be back soon!

25/10/2024: Great family meal out this evening. We visited today as a family of 6, and not one of us was disappointed. The restaurant is beautiful, and really makes you feel like you’re dining somewhere authentic. The food is also great, and the open plan kitchen gives an insight into a (very busy) Italian chef at work. The food is really good - massive portions. Didn’t realise that the pasta mains came with Garlic bread, so we ordered a little too much and took some home with us. We all left full, and satisfied. I don’t understand some of the other reviews, it’s probably one of the best Italians we’ve had in a very long time!

22/12/2023: One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The food was beautifully prepared and served promptly. It was delicious and a very full portion. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. There was a good atmosphere. The music was a little old, but each song was a classic. Highly recommended and worth a try. Thanks for a great meal.

27/10/2023: Aroi has been a delightful surprise in the quaint town of Carrigaline. Despite my initial reservations in a smaller locale, this establishment exceeded all expectations with its exceptional menu offerings. Our recent visit saw us savoring the Hong Kong Chicken and Teriyaki Duck Donburi, both of which left an indelible impression. The Hong Kong chicken, reminiscent of Panda Express's Orange Chicken in the United States, was a flavor-packed delight. The Teriyaki Duck Donburi, equally commendable, exhibited an exquisite fusion of flavors and a generous selection of vegetables. Aroi's cocktail selection is a testament to their dedication to culinary excellence. The Espresso Martini, in particular, was a standout. Before our main course, we indulged in the Thai calamari starter, which truly transported our taste buds. The use of chili icons on the menu to indicate the spiciness level of each dish is a testament to the restaurant's authenticity and thoughtfulness, making it easy for patrons to select dishes tailored to their preferences. This level of attention to detail is much appreciated, and it genuinely reflects the authentic Asian culinary experience. Moreover, the staff at Aroi is not only attentive but also a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend Aroi to anyone seeking a truly authentic and exceptional dining experience in Carrigaline. It's a gem in this small town and a testament to the culinary prowess of the team behind it.

04/11/2024: Pizza 'n' Sizzle has become a bit of a staple for me over the years! I usually go for the sizzling burger or the 1/4 pounder—both are spot-on and never disappoint. Their southern fried goujons are also a solid choice when you’re in the mood for something different. The pizza is decent—not gourmet, but it’s good for the price and satisfies the craving. While delivery times can be long, picking up is quick and easy, with food ready in around 10-15 minutes. Only downside: the extra sauces are pricey (€2 for a small garlic sauce). Overall, reliable spot for a tasty takeaway!

04/09/2024: A really nice place, good food and service, with friendly staff, highly recommend the meal deals, very good value for money and you can sit inside and eat,

15/12/2024: Delightful place. Bright, airy, great surroundings, plenty space, excellent food and the apple pie is the very best. Most enjoyable lunch.

22/11/2024: Had a soup and wrap it was delicious, had Apple tart with custard it was wholesome.

29/10/2024: Lovely cafe, great location and prices. New staff so a little slow, but expected - and they’re polite, attentive and trying!

23/10/2024: Service was very nice. It has been my first time to this place, person named Edward was extremely polite to me and coffee finally didn’t have burnt milk. I’ll be back for another vanilla latte
