The best restaurants in Fingal

02/06/2025: Amazing food ! Always welcoming and a gem of a place with a friendly family atmosphere. Always accommodating and beer in fine too .

22/04/2025: Been here a few times and had a different experience on every one. The last time was a Friday night as a couple, we probably had the last sitting but it was such a strange atmosphere. There was hardly anyone in the place and we felt a bit rushed out the door. It was eerily quiet and just plain awkward - not what you might expect of a bustling Friday night. Returned recently with kids and again, the place was practically empty and the vibe was just off. Really quiet, teenage waiter grunting at us, there was no ambience at all Even some cheesy Italian music in the background would have helped! I will say the food is good, pizzas are excellent, tiramisu excellent, but they need to rethink the garlic bread - what the hell?! Had a long wait for a bowl of plain pasta for the kids. Also, for the love of god please put chips on the menu for kids! No kids' menu, no option for even a smaller-sized pizza, so not sure how family-friendly it is.

21/08/2025: We gathered for a work night out. Caroline was great with helping organise the area and the food. The conservatory was perfect, the platters were lovely and the staff were very attentive and nice.

07/07/2025: Had a family event at The Betsy, lovely decor, really good atmosphere, good food and superb staff, especially head waiter. They looked after our group really well, were friendly and attentive.

20/06/2024: Mi marido y yo, y amigos, habíamos sido grandes partidarios de este restaurante, ya que nos encantó la comida, el servicio, la comodidad. Justo antes de la Navidad de 2023 , mi hijo y mi hija nos compraron cada uno un vale por 100 Euros. Por enfermedad, no salimos muy a principios de 2024 , y decidimos utilizar los vales cuando nuestro hijo vino del extranjero en abril de 2024 . Sin embargo, nos quedamos atónitos cuando leímos el artículo de Lucinda sobre el cierre del restaurante, un par de semanas antes de nuestra visita prevista. No puedo entender cómo la gente del restaurante vendió los vales, uno el 16 de diciembre de 2023 y el otro el 24 de diciembre de 2023. Seguramente sabían que no estarían operando en 2024? Estábamos enfermos por esto.

01/11/2024: Genuinely never order from here. 1 and a half hours after i ordered i rang and asked where my order was and they claimed they had delivered to the wrong address and when i asked for a refund they stated “someone had called them and changed the address” which did not happen. They just wanted to get away with not giving a refund. Never order from here save ur money and get a Dominos

27/10/2024: This is good for takeouts/ delivery because it doesn’t have a place to dine in. The food was really nice though. I got garlic and cheese fries and asked for extra jalapeño, the garlic is very overpowering so I do not recommend if you are not a garlic person. The pizza was good, the chicken tenders were a little dry but they come with sweet chilli sauce so I guess that’s fine. The food took 15mins so that was good. Overall 7/10

24/07/2024: Este restaurante es sin duda el mejor salón de comida en espadas. Ok, muy poco ambiente para experimentar, pero eso también se aplica al resto con una excepción o dos. Sin embargo, la comida, el servicio y el personal no pueden ser culpados. Hemos estado docenas de veces ahora más de 2 años y el servicio es extremadamente rápido, amable y a un precio muy razonable. Chicos, no os perdáis la experiencia gustativa que es este restaurante.

28/04/2024: We went for a date night and had chicken goyza, chargrilled chicken ramen, chicken katsu rolls and skin on fries. Everything we had was delicious and presented beautifully. They have 2 cocktails for 16 euro and the strawberry daiquiris were very good. Prices are very fair for the quailty of food and the staff are all lovely.

04/05/2025: Siempre demasiado lleno e imposible de entrar. He intentado entrar varias veces pero siempre lleno. Si tienes suerte y entras las comidas están bien, pero las bebidas son limitadas 2 bebidas / estancia

30/04/2025: Worst experience ever in an airport lounge. Don’t come here if you are thinking of a nice relaxing way to start your holiday / journey. I had complementary access which took the pain out the €40 we paid for my wife. Staff unhelpful and disinterested apart from the bull dog who was responsible for guarding the valuable two complementary drinks rule ! Her wonderful customer service was to ask every customer if this was their second drink and then argue with you about the need for a mixer which she never provided. Food very limited and there a good few hours in the fridge. Was more than happy to go down to the bar and pay full price. At least the staff seemed interested. Scored a one because I can’t give a lower score !

29/05/2025: We had dinner in this famous bar located in the same Portmarnock Hotel & Golf links. First impression was that it's more a bar/pub than a restaurant. But we finally concluded that the food was so good that it didn't matter at all. We shared their crispy chicken wings which were amazing, with an extraordinary Jameson & ginger ale sauce. And then, two marvellous Kerrigan's Rib eye steaks. One of the best beefs we've never ever tasted. Gorgeous. Not cheap, of course but worth every Euro. Highkly recommendable
