The best restaurants in Youghal

30/08/2025: Tips & Improvements What a lovely spot! Below Youghal, there's a kilometer-long sandy beach. Up on the mountain around the Table 8 Bistro is the golf course. How cool is that :-) The older folks keep fit by swimming in the sea at around 20 degrees Celsius, and the youngsters play golf around the Table 8 Bistro. You have to see it! The food at the Table 8 Bistro is very good for a bistro, the view is magnificent, and the staff very friendly. We'd love to come back. Improvements That huge bush right in front of one of the windows really blocks the view of the sea and the landscape. You should really consider relocating it. We certainly didn't understand why it was planted in that exact spot. Leave me a heart :-)

08/05/2025: Beautiful view, super friendly staff. Price-quality top.

07/10/2025: Lovely old style Irish Bar with alcoves. Very good staff, service and quality of food and drink.

18/09/2025: We stopped there for a coffee break. The café at the front is a good option, but the pub further back is also huge. The scones and cakes were excellent, the service was super friendly, and you could tell everyone loved their customers. 😊 A lovely experience.

29/09/2025: Immaculate ! Service , food & cleanliness 10/10 .

22/09/2025: Not even good. Find something else!

02/10/2025: Wether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner this place is always a safe bet. Yet to get bad food here and ive tried it on many occasions, the takeaway option is also very handy.

08/09/2025: Very friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommend 👌

14/09/2025: Great place for a Guinness, the small town has a lot of history

10/09/2025: Marked as open on maps but unfortunately closed today

13/04/2025: Best bakers, best breads & best cakes

14/01/2025: Best bread and cakes in youghal. Get their fresh bread every day. Can't eat any other bread now.

15/08/2025: Nice café. Given the void left over by the former Coffee Pot it's nice to have this café here. Good selection of goodies on offer, ample room and tables for a decent crowd and not the worst value either. I had a nice, decent scone (with butter, jam and cream too) and my daughter got this large strawberry and cream doughnut which was excellent.

22/06/2025: I had a breakfast sandwich which was a bit dissapointing, rasher very fatty, egg over cooked. Tea pot spouts were broken.

30/08/2025: Where to start? Took a chocolate cake and a pavlova. The cake was clearly not fresh from the day. Dry and tasteless. The pavlova was ok but doubt it was from the day. The latte was made with cream who has clearly old. The price for all 2 drinks and 2 cakes €22. Way too much.

30/08/2025: The cake was stale and tasted like it had been sitting in a fridge for a week. The coffee was poor quality and the creamer was not freash. Also, expensive café, 2 pieces of cake and 2 coffees over €20. The staff member who took my order was unpleasant.

29/07/2025: Price's are awful. Staff is all good except for one small little specy red haired girl that was arguing with me for sitting outside. She seems too have no interest in her job.

29/07/2025: Awful 4 foot red hair girl making snarky comments doesn't want to help shouldn't have a job there if she doesn't want to work

07/09/2025: One of the best sites in or carryout in Youghal. Chicken & pizza's are great.

31/08/2025: Bought two coffees, took ages to arrive, very expensive for the lack of quality/taste. Sat here writing a review as I can't drink my coffee due to it being scalding, not hot but genuinely and dangerously scalding. We also asked for some Nutella on our daughter's small ice cream, told by the guy working there that the Nutella sauce was only for other ice creams. "Computer said no" attitude.

01/04/2025: delicious coffee and great service

10/02/2025: The coffee was warm and didn't taste good.

06/07/2025: We had an absolute blast at JD’s Pub in Youghal! The music was fantastic, with a lively mix of classic rock and country from a singer that had everyone on their feet. The atmosphere was electric—busy but welcoming, with friendly locals and staff creating a real sense of craic. The pub’s spacious interior and cozy beer garden add to the vibe, and the message “There are no strangers here, just friends you haven’t met… Brendan Behan” truly reflects the warm, inclusive spirit where everybody feels like friends. Great drinks selection at reasonable prices, too. Highly recommend JD’s for good tunes and a vibrant, fun atmosphere!

05/05/2025: Disappointing interaction with management We visited with a group of friends and really enjoyed the atmosphere—bar staff were friendly and the live singer was a lovely touch. However, our experience was soured by an uncomfortable interaction with a member of the management team. While some of our group were dancing, two of us stayed at the table. A manager approached and told us we couldn’t take up a full table if the venue was busy. We were understanding and said we’d move our belongings to make space for others. What felt inappropriate was the follow-up comment implying we weren’t ordering enough drinks. I pointed to a full glass of wine infront of my friend and she laughed and said is that between the two of you. The tone felt unnecessarily harsh and made us feel unwelcome. Sadly, we chose to leave shortly after. It’s unfortunate, as the rest of the evening had been enjoyable up until that point.

16/09/2025: Have used tattoo service ,found everybody extremely helpful, very patient in helping me finalise my idea. I would highly recommend them .

23/08/2025: Got my tragus pierced by Jenna couldn't recommend more very hygienic and polite will definitely be back for more

15/03/2025: Friendly staff. I regularly order a portion of fried noodles and a portion of mixed vegetables. Their vegetables have a better mix (more of different types of veggies) than the other Chinese restaurant in town, (I've ordered the same in the other place too).

21/09/2025: Order from this place quite regularly, at the start amazing couldn't fault it!! Then the late delivery started, another night hour and 20 mins and they forgot our ice cream (i got over it tbh and just left it, been fair they rang on our next order and gave the ice cream which was fairly sound as I was just gonna leave it, don't wanna be a moaning mertial) but last night topped it, I ordered at 7.50pm told food would be there around 9 which was quite long but this often popped up and the food might arrive quicker so over an hour later my partner rang and I also contacted just eat as its happened before, our reply from apache "were busy" reply from just eat "wait another 10 to 15 mins" like seriously...so we wait and waited in between they updated my order as delivered when it wasn't!!! It was hitting close to the 2 hour mark at this stage which is a disgrace so I once again rang them, he said the food left about 7 mins ago he would ring the drive to get him to go to us first, we'll that clearly didn't happen I waited another 10/15 min after the call to actually get my food, again all we got was "sorry were busy" then the food... it was actually cold the only thing that was some bit warm were the soggy chips and the garlic bread .... my ice cream melted... guys beyond disappointing I loved this place but as iv said there's only so much I can take before I just stop coming here, real shame cause when the service and food is good it's good but they don't seem to be able to handle themselves when busy at all everything gets ridiculously delayed

17/06/2025: Great food. Great service. Omar is always a pleasure to deal with
