Pomodorino Swords
Swords
25/07/2026: On our little tour of Ireland one of our stays was in Swords. This restaurant was recommended and definitely did not let us down. The food was really nice and the service was brilliant. Big 👍 from me
20/07/2026: 3 stars because the prices are absolutely outrageous.
€18.50 for a Diavola pizza…
I've worked in many pizzerias throughout my life, and the most expensive pizza on the menu was one topped with Culatello di Zibello (one of the most prestigious cured meats in Italy), and it cost €18.
Three supplì for €11 is also excessive, especially considering that in Rome and Milan you can easily pay much less.
That said, we ended up paying €88 for one appetizer, three supplì, two pizzas (a Diavola and an 'Nduja pizza), two drinks, and two desserts.
In my opinion, that's an unreasonable price for a pizzeria. It's more in line with what you'd expect to pay at a proper restaurant—especially if you had ordered a bottle of wine! 😂

3 stars because the prices are HUNTING

3 supplì €11, something we know we pay much less for in Rome and Milan.
That said, I paid €88 for an appetizer, supplì, two pizzas, one diavola and one with Ndjua, two drinks, and two desserts... in my opinion, it's an exorbitant price for a pizzeria, much more appropriate for a restaurant; (with a bottle of wine 😂)

Subway
Swords
07/08/2026: Had a great experience at Subway! The food was fresh and the service was excellent. Special thanks for both boys for being so friendly, helpful, and professional. Great customer service and a welcoming attitude. Definitely recommend this Subway!
12/07/2026: Terrible service and attitude. Dealt with a young guy and a girl of Asian origin. We placed an order online like we do every week, this time it was in Swords. We got later than the time indicated on the app and they hadn’t even started our orders (we placed 2 - a sub and Jacket potato) When I was there for 10 mins I told them that this is upsetting, they said it’ll be done soon and in fact the girl showing attitude gave me an excuse like: we like to serve hot food. Well but it should have been hot 15 mins ago! An update on the app would have been helpful or even a “I’m sorry we didn’t start”. They were making my orders alongside other in store customers (same person making 3 orders together). My husband had to go around in circles in his car outside whilst waiting for me to collect. What’s the point of ordering online if I have to wait after all the customers in store are served and THEN my order is made? Appalling attitude and service. I’ll be going to another branch for sure next time.

Our Gourmet Kitchen
Swords
18/07/2026: The friendliest staff you could ever meet, delicious food with generous portions(picture of a small breakfast)! Consistently great service. We absolutely love coming here and always look forward to meeting the staff as they would brighten up your day especially the lady with black glasses. Highly recommend!
30/06/2026: Small little cafe in the heart of Bray. It is a sister branch of the Gourmet Cafe in Dun Laoghaire. Same awesome menu, amazing staff and good prices. Do try their Big Breakfast and Club Sandwich. Staff is very helpful and really looks after you. Do give it a visit if you are in the area. Highly recommend.

J2 Sushi
Swords
30/07/2026: Great sushi & great value. Chicken ramen is delicious. Staff always lovely when I've eaten in.
16/07/2026: I ordered the medium chefs selection for take away, half was crab roll, 1/4 cucumber... 6 had tiny salmon pieces in the rolls and 4 with something unrecognisable. Seems like it must have been an unlucky order/day, since many are happy and post nice picture. Paid 40€ , service was great 😊

Premier Inn Dublin Airport hotel
Swords
29/06/2026: It's hideous stuck in the middle of a retail park it feels claustrophobic and cheap. Bed is comfy but if you want a nice start to your holiday don't come here. Dinner is reservation only staff are very pleasant.
12/06/2026: The half-board option was good, the room was well-designed, with a proper shower. The only downsides were the lack of luggage space and the absence of bottled water upon arrival. The restaurant was good; we were pleasantly surprised. It's very close to the airport with a shuttle service available for €3 (as of June 2026) or an Uber.

Dawn Till Dusk
Swords
06/08/2026: My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing, and it will definitely be my first and last visit.
While I was waiting to be served, I witnessed a completely unacceptable situation. A Waitress called the chef to ask something, and he responded by yelling at her in front of all the customers. It was an astonishing display of disrespect and poor manners.
It was very uncomfortable to watch an employee be publicly humiliated by someone who appeared to be no older than 25 and showed a serious lack of professionalism and leadership. No one deserves to be treated that way for simply doing their job.
Beyond the quality of the food, the way employees treat one another—and how they behave in front of customers—says a lot about a restaurant. Unfortunately, this experience left a terrible impression. I would not recommend this place, and I will not be returning.
19/07/2026: Came down to get food that I saw on their website but after arrival everything was 4 times the price. Food was nice but expensive. Over all wouldn't come if I knew as 25e is a lot for bit of meat handful of fries and portion of McNcheese.

Chopped
Swords
01/07/2026: Chopped is a fast food health restaurant. When coming back from our flight I couldn't face a burger king and wanted something that would stand by me. We called into Swords Pavillion and tried Chopped!
It is solid with the number of choices that it has and the quality was strong across the board. The vegan bowls we tried were delicious! I would say I would have liked more food for the price being charged but I enjoyed what we ordered.
Great alternative to eating absolute rubbish in other establishments. I would advise from that stand point alone!
11/06/2026: I absolutely love their food and constantly order through uber eats.Last week I did the same and due to unusual delay I contacted the delivery driver and he saying he is in the shop and they said someones else took the order early.I never received my order and the delivery partner I was assigned never picked it up.It was a non checked handover by the restaurant and when I asked the delivery to tell them to make an another one for me they completely ignored the request.As a regular customer so disappointed by the way they handled the situation.

Rubys
Swords
17/07/2026: Excellent sized portions and tasty options
01/07/2026: Staff are lovelg and atmosphere is really iconic. The food is consistently delicious however I will say that the pricing is tough to justify other than the very occasional treat. I consistently get the nachos as the quakity is great and pricing is good, however buying anything else from here is rare simply due to the price. Would still highly recommend to anyone who wants to have a small party or a date.
Pictured is the nachos, garlic pizza bread and sizzling garlic prawns (Which my girlfriend say were fantastic). I willbalso say that while the pricing is quite high, there is a fair amount of deals throughout the week that are great

Pizza Dog
Swords
28/06/2026: What an awesome young fella works there. I don't know if he's the manager or not but he was there a while back when I used to order from pizza dog monthly. Young fella with glasses and dark hair was so focused and professional during a busy night when we collected our pizza, very polite and fast paced at checking all the orders. He apologized for delay as well. That happened a good few months back but now that I order from Sallins Pizza dog I decided to highlight the great service that the fella provided. Wish I got his name before.
23/06/2026: Gave me terrible diarrhea in the middle of the night. Do not eat here!
