The best restaurants in Swords

16/05/2025: Well holy moly. Had lunch in the deli last week and I was as full as a bus load of Italian tourists when i was leaving. I had the Buffon and it tasted like I was sitting in a little town square in Italy itself. The flavours were unbelievable, and the bread was to die for. Loved the chilled out vibe sitting in the sun, Definitely be back again!

11/05/2025: Sorry, but I’ll have to update my review. We’ve always been fans of your pizzas but waiting two hours and a half is simply too much. We ordered at 7pm and estimated delivery was at 7:50-8:00pm. We called at 8:30 and we got to know you received a huge order and our pizza was ready to be cooked and only waiting on the delivery driver to come back. Nothing for another half an hour. We then called again at 9:15 and it was on the way. We got the pizza at 9:30. You’ve added a complimentary bread, but we didn’t plan to eat at 9:30-10pm. If you received a big order before/after ours, it only takes 30 seconds to pick up the phone and tell the customer the new delivery time was going to be way longer and if they want to cancel. Holding onto our order of a single pizza and making us wait two hours and a half was simply disrespectful. Telling us at 8:30 that the pizza’s just waiting on the delivery driver to be back after working a huge order made us think we would get it shortly (and still, late), but that’s just a lie we didn’t appreciate.

12/05/2025: Arrived and were seated promptly. It was unfortunate they were unable to put the Sky game on at 4:30. It was my son’s birthday and this was one of the reasons we chose here to celebrate. Some good food and watch the game. What was even more unfortunate was the server letting 3 of the dishes fall on the ground. That meant 3 of us had food while the other 3 had to wait for a new serving. It did put a damper on things which was disappointing for my son. The staff were very apologetic but I felt they could have done more or even offered some concessions on the bill. I wouldn’t be racing back I’m afraid.

12/05/2025: Cant fault the place Food is great,staff are friendly.Good for families and great cocktails

22/05/2025: What an amazing experience at this place, the last at the till was super friendly, the food was excellent Made my Ireland experience so much better, will definitely visit again Try the croissant pudding 🤤

17/05/2025: Top notch food! Amazing staff and food every time

13/05/2025: Came here from the airport for a Guinness and food ... lovely Guinness and food, very friendly service.... recommend

12/05/2025: Good pub, Service is good. Food was ok, maybe avoid fish and chips as it was oddly soggy.

03/05/2025: If I could give the food less than 1 star I would. The worst food I’ve ever been served in my life. I got the roast of the day with ham, the ham was almost grey and was super dry and tasteless. The veg and roast potatoes were clearly frozen too. The stuffing also tasteless and even by looking at it you could see there wasn’t any herbs in it. Nothing at all on my plate was made fresh. My partner got the Tex mex burger and onion rings. Onion rings tasted of pure oil, and the burger that was meant to have chili beef mince on it wasn’t chili beef at all, it was tomato bolognese. Chips were fine but you can’t go too wrong with them. Bill came to 50 euro with two drinks, definitely not worth it, would never eat here again. Service and staff were lovely though.

22/04/2025: Great pint of guiness and the food is lovely,chicken burger is gorgeous, the staff are excellent and very friendly. Tv's are all around so you can see the sport from anywhere ,Depending on the time, it could be quiet enough ,but the pints make up for that 👍 another meal today , and once again, the food was lovely. The guiness is also great , can't complain 👌

10/05/2025: Definitely one of the largest shopping centres I've seen in Ireland. It has multiple entrances depending on which direction you're coming from. Inside, you can find everything from restaurants and supermarkets to pharmacies and even the post office. There are plenty of coffee shops where you can have a full meal or something small to grab like sandwiches or pizza slices. It's very easy to reach by public transport, bus number 41 from the city centre stops right in front. If you're driving, there’s plenty of parking available. Parking is free for the first 2 hours.

07/05/2025: Great selection of shops and food offerings

18/05/2025: Very good food, my wife got the gluten free fish and chips.

12/05/2025: Good pints scran is mind blowing spicy wedges blew the bleedin jocks off me absolutely scintillating even the kids bleedin love em

13/05/2025: The best café! Everything here is super tasty — the coffee, the cakes, the sandwiches… seriously, everything is delicious! But what really makes this place special is the people. The staff is so sweet and polite, and they’re always so kind and gentle with my baby. That wins my heart every time! It’s cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. I feel lucky to have found this gem so close to home. Totally recommended!

26/04/2025: An amazing local resource. Fabulous breads, pastry, hot snacks etc. Coffee is class, service very good. Highly recommended #supportlocal

01/05/2025: We had a tasty lunch at this fairly hidden middle eastern fast food restaurant. The hummus was tasty, the falafel was freshly made, crunchy and slightly spicy, the salads were fresh and interesting and I can confirm that the pitta bread is excellent which is very important. I recommend asking for the spicy green chilli dip, it's brilliant and not too hot. The prices are very fair and the service is fast and friendly. There are plenty of seats inside and a couple of tables outside. Highly recommended

25/04/2025: Excellent food. Great service by the staff. Highly recommended.

05/05/2025: Food is top class. Been here several times, mostly on Sundays, so not busy to have to reserve. Jujeh chicken is very tasty and good size portions with a choice of side dish, I chose garlic potatoes. My husband had Americano pizza, also very good. No complaints. Dessert has to be Tirimisu, the best I've had, including in Italy. Portions are generous with good coffee too. Service was good, atmosphere is cosy with 80s background music. Good value for money, will be back and recommend it.

27/04/2025: Nicely decorated venue on Swords Main Street. Mainly set up for hosting parties and large groups

18/05/2025: Very nice truly italian pizza. Twice more expensive than in Italy though...

03/05/2025: Nice place. Great food. Amazing staff

02/05/2025: My family come here for birthdays and special occasions etc. The atmosphere and food is lovely, but it's the staff that always make the experience! We love coming back.

27/04/2025: We recently celebrated our daughter's baptism at this wonderful restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. The upstairs room, prepared especially for us, was perfect for our group of around 15–20 people — intimate, welcoming, and beautifully arranged. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. The managers and staff were attentive, kind, and truly made us feel at home. The food exceeded all expectations: every dish was delicious, served in generous portions, and praised by all our guests. We are deeply grateful to the entire team for helping us create such a special and memorable day. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone — whether for a special celebration or simply a romantic dinner for two.

19/05/2025: Food was awesome and service was just as good.

07/05/2025: Spacious, great food. Fast service. Very affordable and spoilt for choice. Their matcha brownies are heavenly. Presentation is clean and creative.

29/04/2025: Just a couple of lovely San Miguel pints in the sunshine

24/04/2025: Very nice reception - so everything in terms of service was experienced. You have to like the room with the skylight. We didn't think it was that great. Especially since when the hatch is open there are unpleasant noises. We had dinner in the restaurant. It was the worst burger I have eaten in Ireland. Fried to death! The chicken wings were crispy but the vinegar seemed to have gotten into the sauce. Ok for this one evening/night, but the price is too expensive.

15/04/2025: Omg the coffee is delicious. It literally made me say "wow" out loud. The biscoff protein ball was delicious as well.

16/01/2025: Gorgeous coffee with a smile! 😁
