La Papessa Pizza
Swords
03/06/2025: Great sandwich we had in a while. We had one and it was big enough for both of us. We sat outdoors and the weather wasn’t too bad. There is no pizza for lunch so you can only get sandwiches but the pizza is brilliant too.
27/05/2025: Delicious pizza. Best in Swords for sure!

The Cock Tavern, menu
Swords
20/06/2025: I ordered a burger which was very good after I added a whole packet of ketchup and mayonnaise (it was a bit dry) I'm not sure what it was called but it was the most expensive and had onion rings on it. Only real issue I had and why I didn't give it the 5 stars is the stamp they put on top of the Burger. They burned it on with something like a hot iron but every bite I took, this bit was right under my nose and smelt like burning paper.
17/06/2025: Really nice pub. Excellent music upstairs.

La Boulangerie Francaise
Swords
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

Cheekypea Vegan Meals
Swords
15/06/2025: Simple diner serving the most delicious falafel. Plus it’s vegetarian and gluten and dairy free!
12/06/2025: I normally despise falafel because they're so dry but this place had amazingly crispy falafel on the outside and soft in the inside.
Their beef meatballs are also perfect.

Empoli Restaurant
Swords
04/07/2025: First time to dine there - food piping hot, superb and cooked perfectly, excellent service and could not fault - was for a special occasion so although spent €40 - €50 per person was excellent value - will definitely go back and would recommend
27/06/2025: Definitely great experience. There are two staffs serving us, April and her friend. I didn't had a chance to ask her name, but everyone was so kind. They're very assist us well. April helps us with our orders as well. It's hard to find good pasta in Dublin and this is one of the best restaurants i visited.

Wine House
Swords
03/07/2025: Food and service was so nice
We definitely will be back!!!
29/06/2025: This is one of my favourite restaurants in Dublin. Usually order a takeaway but we decided to eat out today. Although there was a delay in our food coming out, the staff was well mannered about it. This is a small family run business so they have the right etiquette and ambience and also very intimate so they are extremely friendly. Shoutout to Daniel, he was absolutely pleasant as a staff. The food? Amazing. Real Authentic Italian! The wings are top tier and everything really just taste good takeout or eat in.

J2 Sushi
Swords
19/06/2025: The delivery of the food was beautiful and what I assumed to be the new girl was just as kind, she seemed to understand and learn from her mistakes, I found her almost amazing despite it being my first time going to a restaurant at all! The atmosphere fits the "Japanese" theme and if you sit close to the door you can see the chef cooking
15/06/2025: If you need a reason to visit Swords, this is it! Absolutely fabulous food. The duck teppanyaki was to die for- crispy and succulent. The sushi and sashimi combo was delectable and so fresh! It was presented like the fine art it is too. Attentive service, and we saw some amazing looking cocktails served at the next table. Maybe next time for those...

Wrights Cafe Bar
Swords
19/12/2024: We had our Christmas party for the 3rd time there! Food was good as always, but the music wasn't as good as previous years, and one of the bartenders had a bit of an attitude at some point! Overall it was a good experience, and we are looking forward to finding out what's coming next year!
P.S.: Ruaidhri was there for us every year for our Christmas parties, making sure that we are having the best experience, so we do hope that we will see him there again in the new wrights adventure!

Pomodorino Swords
Swords
16/06/2025: Really good pizza. Prices are average for Ireland. In a previous negative review, I read that a customer complained because they refused to add chicken to the pasta. That’s actually a positive point, well done!
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the waitress was very kind, and the owner of the place was lovely as well.
24/05/2025: Went there tonight, the atmosphere was dead. Ordered bruchetta for Starters. Was chopped cherry tomatoes on cold burned toast. The ravioli for mains was the strangest thing I've ever seen. A pinky/grey sauce. Was average. My wife ordered a pasta and mushroom dish and asked for chicken to be added which they refused to do. She made pasta at home on Monday that would match the quality. With3 pints and 2 glasses of wine for drinks and average food it was 110 euro. The waitresses were lovely so I did leave a tip.
I don't think we'll go back.
