The best restaurants in Swords

18/10/2025: It is a place with a nice atmosphere and ambiance. There are plenty of spacious seating areas. The cocktails and food options are quite satisfying. The staff were friendly and fast. It’s not exactly an open kitchen, but you can still see the kitchen area which is nice.

15/10/2025: After being seated we were left sitting for 25 minutes and only then a waiter asked if we were ready to order our food. We had not yet even been offered drinks Aside from us ordering drinks, our food being delivered, service was poor. There were 6 of us (4 adults and 2 x17 year olds). We were there for a family dinner. The food was substatial but lacked any pizazz. The lack of meat in the beef fajitas was incredible, but plenty of PEPPERS AND ONIONS. I always tip however there was a 10% service charge added already so considering my bill was €168 the added another €16.80, (Now the fact they call it service charge and the service was non existant ) I was looking forward to this family occasion but felt very let down, it wasn't even too busy but possibly understaffed. We didn't leave hungry but I don't think we were satisfied.

24/10/2025: One of the best places to have breakfast in Swords! I’ve been here many times ,the breakfast is amazing, and the staff are really nice and welcoming.

23/10/2025: The staff were unreal. Smiley faces and super efficient. The food was perfect in flavour and portion sizes and the Pistachio Croissant was like something I've never had! Would return just for that!! Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

17/10/2025: First time trying here. The pizza itself was extremely tasty and the dough was super soft and melt in the mouth. However, I ordered for collection and was told via the website it’d be ready at 18:18 but was left waiting until 18:50. This is a small criticism as the timings given just need to be adjusted to make it more realistic. If the pizza could be pre cut too that would be a nice touch.

09/10/2025: I went to this place expecting to eat a good pizza, but instead I found a masterpiece. As an Italian, I can say without a doubt that I’ve eaten one of the best pizzas you can find in all of Ireland. If you still have some room left, the dessert pizzas are truly the icing on the cake. As if that weren’t enough, the owner is incredibly kind and welcoming. The prices are not high at all compared to the exceptional quality of the products. In case it isn’t clear, I absolutely recommend this place. Unfortunately, I’m forced to give only 5 stars because I can’t give 10. Absolutely perfect.

16/10/2025: Was an absolute delight to find. Warm and inviting. Lively atmosphere and outstanding food.

16/10/2025: The best Fish and Chips you could ask for! I highly recommend the Smoked Haddock and the Schooler Burger. A great addition to the meal is the Galway Girl Hazy IPA (not super hoppy with a blonde ale palette). The staff is super kind as well. I appreciate how simple it is to order and ask questions. The music is hits from the last few decades. It’s nice hearing The Killers and then Tom Petty. Whoever is running this place had a great head on their shoulders. I am only in Ireland for the night, but I sure as hell will come back for that Smoked Haddock. Life won’t be the same in America.

21/10/2025: Great pints and great atmosphere. Ended up there on a Monday night and the the jam session was fantastic. 8 guitars and a mandolin. Can't beat it.

08/09/2025: My boyfriend and I had a great time here on our last night in Ireland before returning to the States. We got there too late to eat but there was live music, lots of great beers and whiskies, gracious bartenders and a terrific atmosphere. We highly recommend and hope to go back again.

04/10/2025: I had a guest saying in my house. I wasn't around when they ordered from Empoli via Uber Eats. My guest gave an incomplete address with no eircode so the driver couldn't find the house. My guest has a non-Irish phone with no roaming so couldn't be contacted. So the food wasn't delivered. When I got through to the restaurant and corrected the address, they sent out freshly made food at no extra charge and as quickly as possible. This was stellar customer service and really appreciated. And my guest really enjoyed their order too!

27/09/2025: Nice place the renovations look well staff are very welcoming and friendly. Only had drinks but will go back for food 😋

28/09/2025: We are not people who go to the same restaurant over and over. Pomodorino is the exception. If we lived in Swords we would eat here weekly. The service is phenomenal! The food is amazing. We had pizza and a salad the first night. The second night we had pasta. Both so well done. Perfectly cooked. Flavors outstanding. Not greasy. Not over seasoned. Just all perfect. The people made us feel like family. Shout outs to Michele, Rita, Paula, pizza chef Little Tony, chef Kriss and sous AJ. All sooooo good. The owners Big Tony and his wife are also so warm. This place literally should have 5 stars. It is one of a handful of restaurants in Ireland with a Miglior designation.

22/09/2025: Wow! An Italian experience in Swords Ireland near the airport. If we were here longer we would dine here again.

29/09/2025: This restaurant is a true revelation! From the very first moment, you feel a special atmosphere of comfort and hospitality. The staff is friendly, attentive to detail, and the cuisine is beyond praise. The presentation is exquisite, and the steak was perfectly cooked: juicy, tender, and perfectly done. Special thanks to the director and owners—their love and dedication to their craft was palpable throughout the evening. This place has a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to return again and again!

21/09/2025: Really good food with excellent service and nice atmosphere 👌 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

16/09/2025: Have been here a few times personally and always great tasty food. Proper authentic falafel! Ordered for a work lunch and it was on time, delicious and plenty of food as well - would highly recommend for a visit or for an event

06/09/2025: (Live event with trailer) Made the difference between our party being great rather than just good. Most of the guests had food from the trailer and I didn't hear a single complaint. Food was delicious. Arrived right on time and handled a sudden loss of power to the trailer very well. Hope to book them again for next year.

10/10/2025: Went with my sister for something to eat

07/10/2025: Swords Pavilion Shopping offers great value for money. The store is well-organized and staff are helpful

28/10/2025: Great place with a lovely atmosphere and great food

26/08/2025: Excellent pastries, cappuccino good. A bit too small inside and far too cold with the aircon running at only 12°C outside

29/10/2025: Very nice place. We were on the way back from Dublin Airport and couldn’t find any decent spots around, so we decided to drive into Swords. This place is a gem. The food was so fresh, service was really fast, and the staff were super nice. Prices were very fair too. You just don’t find places like this in Dublin these days. We’ll be back for sure.

22/10/2025: I love the food here, every time i eat here like it is one of the best meals… The servers Haloumi and Daniela are very friendly and professional. Take away service is great. I want to say that delivery man is very polite and friendly too

11/08/2025: A nice place with a huge selection of muffins. Of course a good selection of savory snacks along with regular tea and coffee. Was genuinely surprised by the variety of muffins. A nice place and a compliment to the doughnuts scene. Definitely recommended for people with a desire to try muffins of variety and also a nice gifting idea for people with seeet tooth

14/07/2025: Great atmosphere and lovely customer service very good and great coffee

28/09/2025: Grainger's Manor Inn has always been my local, even when it was simply known as The Manor Inn. We've had quite a few celebrations here with family and friends, and the staff are always amazing and food is top notch. Plus the love entertainment when we there on the 6th was incredible. I definitely recommend going here for food and generally welcome and laid back place.

28/09/2025: My dad hasn't been well enough to get out for food ao we bought him a takeaway carvery and pint of Guinness. The food and drink were superb. Great service and price too.

13/10/2025: Maybe I haven't been to many restaurants/places to eat but holy wow. I may have also been extremely hungry however... The location of this place is perfection. 10-15 mins away from Dublin airport driving. The atmosphere is a chill and excitingly put together vibe and Irish hospitality is real here. I went during the breakfast/brunch hours and had the 'woodland breakfast'. Each breakfast option is not too dissimilar from eachother and the one I had was incredible. Scrambled eggs (2) that where smooth and buttery but not too moist. Every bite of the rest of the food was just as incredible as the last until I was done. The service was as fast as can be desired.

06/10/2025: Generally good, service a bit slow, which isn't great for a lunch.
