The best restaurants in Swords

11/01/2025: Best pizzas and sandwiches in Swords. The Buffon Sandwich is almost as good as the player it’s named after!

01/12/2024: Best pizza and sandwich I've ever had. Hands down.

14/01/2025: Lovely food, great service and cosy setting

12/01/2025: Staff friendly and helpful. Live music was very enjoyable and created a fun atmosphere. A little bit cold sitting near the door.

30/12/2024: Locale carino, piatti strepitosi, una delizia per il palato e personale super. I nostri complimenti allo chef Mario...veramente bravo. TORNEREMO SICURAMENTE.

12/01/2025: Absolutely super night live music was brilliant 👏

12/01/2025: Incredible, beautiful and cozy pub. They have traditional Irish food, but they also have some delicious Mexican bites. Don't miss on their trio of tacos, they are delicious. Definitely give it a go.

29/12/2024: Service and food here fantastic as always

17/12/2024: I was here last weekend, our very first time trying this restaurant. The service was a bit slow due to alot of Christmas parties but this didn't affect my opinion of the place. The food was absolutely amazing. From starter to dessert I couldn't choose which was nicer to eat. I highly recommend this restaurant for the quality of food. I will definitely be back. If your looking for good food and don't mind waiting then this is your spot.

29/12/2024: Lovely big rooms. Toilets clean . Great service. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking spaces.

15/12/2024: Good local pub. Food is always good with plenty of screens for the sport events.

09/12/2024: We travel across the island hunting for neapolitan style pizza. When googled 'neapolitan pizza swords' this place appeared as 2nd one. Weve been to 1st one already. Order: pepperoni pizza, quattro staggioni and seafood penne. Im afraid I can only give a star for waitress' beauty and charm and fact that shes the only one running all this place. You can not call this place an italian restaurant, most you can do is italian inspired. All the ingredients they use are available in local tesco. Pizza dough isnt fermented so its added triple dose of semolina to get crunch. Pizza oven there is just the same as in your local take away so theyre not getting nowhere near 400 degrees. Idea of quattro staggioni pizza isnt respected aswell, that looked like dr oeatker pizza, thank god i was hungry. We are not peaky eaters but we go to italy often and we are aware of their do's and dont's, so we can recognise italian food. Unfortunately this reataurant should be advertised as eat in italian inspired irish fast food - not a neapolitan pizzeria!! Seafood penne was served with rigatoni, not penne and calamari undercooked. Pricing your pizzas to €19 should be prosecuted. Neapolitan pizza in naples costs €6. Artificial plants on the wall dont do the job also. I am sorry for this review as I drove 1 hour to get there. Bill of 72 quid for 3 meals and 3 drinks.

07/12/2024: Fantastic food. Staff very welcoming and friendly would highly recommend.

08/12/2024: Perfect place for breakfast near Dublin. The best breakfast I have had in all of Ireland. Highly recommended and the waiters are very friendly. Pure fantasy.

05/11/2024: I had the most AMAZING coffee this morning, thank you, Sophie! Would 100% recommend!

21/12/2024: Weirdest layout of a pub ever. Upstairs far nicer than downstairs, most of which is corridor-like, claustrophobic, IMO.

17/12/2024: Good place, good food and amazing music.

05/01/2025: Average enough shopping centre . Very busy but not a huge amount of shops. Some good restaurants like zaytoon in there.

05/01/2025: Excellent shopping center. Lots of interesting shops. There are cafes.

19/12/2024: Stopped by for a late lunch on a December weekday before a visit to Swords castle en route to Dublin airport. No reservation but seated ok - a few Christmas parties in the restaurant. Burgers, sandwiches, wraps, vegetarian curry, salads and Buddha bowls on the menu. We tried the burger and halloumi wrap - both good. Service friendly but a bit slow. No water refills, waited a long time after the mains for dessert menu but we did get our mains very quickly after ordering. Decor pretty - love the central cherry blossom.

08/12/2024: A little pre Christmas siblings get together assembled participants from Portrane, Palmerstown,Clondalkin and Swords in this warm cozy inviting restaurant at the bottom of the town of Swords. The attentive friendly personality of our waitress Rachel soon had drinks and food of the finest well presented on our table. Where there is room in the heart there is always room in the house and the staff work hard to create a memorable dining experience for their customers. It was a very enjoyable occasion to spend time with loved ones and to be so well looked after in the Gourmet Food Parlour where they effortlessly blend the vibrant spirit of tapas with the succulent indulgence of prime steaks into a symphony of delicious flavors. This was a very enjoyable and impressive experience for us all and will feature very favourably in our future memories. Good habits are the key to all success which comes to those who are moving toward something they want very much to happen and it always results in making people happy so well done and thank you very much.

05/01/2025: A beautiful hidden gem in swords. Great atmosphere lovely staff and reasonably priced and always great food. We as a family love Ruby's.

05/01/2025: Excellent sized portions and tasty

19/07/2024: We get pizza therapy every Friday and it’s amazing. The pizza itself is so so good (BBQ chicken is a fav) and the lady on phone is always so friendly and pleasant. Amazing service and food. Well worth trying it you have not.

15/07/2024: The pizza was unreal! The breakdown as follows - Service - is excellent and so accommodating, we wanted less cheese more sauce and that was no issue at all! We weren’t left waiting ages and the seating was very convenient. Pricing was very fair, it’s a great pizza for a great price and probably the cheapest therapy you’ll get 😂 The pizza dough is second to none, so light and fluffy ! You don’t feel all slumpy afterward which was a nice surprise. The sauce was delicious, cheese was deadly and the ratio was on point. Go , go now!

24/12/2024: Enjoyable evening and night had, definitely a place I course myself and friends returning too

09/12/2024: Traditional Irish bar. Had the Irish beef cheek stew and was full of flavours. Beef were generous in quantity and very tender. Family had hot wings and sausages. The wings were good. The bar ambience were very conducive for family dining and was busy even it was only about 5pm when we went.
