The best restaurants in Youghal

16/01/2026: I chose this place to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and from our very first interaction with customer service to the end of the evening, it was an amazing experience. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. We ordered a variety of dishes, and while the main course (the pork chops) was fairly average, everything else was absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised, as I didn’t expect this place to offer such high-quality food. The drinks menu was diverse and unique, with plenty of options to choose from, including wines and other beverages. The live music was another highlight of the night—it really enhanced the atmosphere and made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys live music and great food. The photos online truly don’t do it justice.

15/01/2026: We had an absolute blast, very intimate setting, the band read the room perfectly and the service was impeccable. The food is worth a detour. The manager of the restaurant, JAcob, took very good care of his guest !

19/02/2026: Frosty knickers takes payment after having very pleasant experience with waiting staff ! Penne pasta sauce was very watered down for an extortionate price !

12/01/2026: We stayed for two nights in January. It was a last minute booking, as the place we'd booked had turned out not to be suitable for a winter stay. By the time we arrived, we were soaked to the bone, as there was torrential rain. We were given a warm welcome in every way, and ushered into the bar beside the fire to warm up. We'd missed lunchtime, but had an early dinner that was superb. The service was spot on. Our room was large and cosy. We had breakfast each morning, and there was a great selection including fresh fruit and a full cooked breakfast. The owner kindly gifted us fresh apple juice made locally. We liked all the food so much, we chose to have dinner there again on the second night. Highly recommend and would be delighted to return.

31/12/2025: So pleased with this gem on Main Street on the Waterford side of Youghal. Just before Christmas after peak lunch hour, we went for a taste of what Red Store had to offer. We were not disappointed. Two of our party had the pork (one of the specials), one Thai chicken curry and one had the 6oz steak. Food came out piping, and was just poetry on a plate. Desserts of jelly and ice cream, warm apple pie and strawberry cheesecake followed. Pork was succulent but where was the apple sauce (small over sight) and the well done steak was a ‘good tender enjoyable chew’ but missed the onions. Thai chicken curry had a tickle of spice and just right fit portion of rice. The hot Apple pie with ice cream had a perfect measured level of sweetness and softness ( no tough crust). Strawberry cheesecake was not served as a slice but in a wine goblet with dust crumbled biscuit for base and a very strawberry moussy top that was peaked with faux cream. Service was friendly and there was a lovely casual atmosphere to the place with conversation at normal decibel level being feasible. At time of visit / local artist Pauline Neville’s works were on display and her nearby art gallery is very much worth a visit. Great showing!!

23/02/2026: Only good things to say here. From the warm friendly welcome we received from the minute we arrived to the comfy spotless well appointed room, with comfy bed. We had a delicious dinner (other half said best caesar salad he’s had in ages and my steak was cooked to perfection) and the most enjoyable cocktails. The staff couldn’t do enough to ensure we had most enjoyable break. Good value for money
