Gourmet Food Parlour
Swords
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.

Manor Inn, menu
Swords
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.
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.

Cupcakes and Counting
Swords
14/09/2025: Cupcakes and Counting created the most stunning wedding cake for our day in Ireland this May. Not only was it a true showstopper to look at, but it tasted absolutely incredible—our guests are still talking about it! Their artistry and attention to detail made our cake so much more than dessert; it became a beautiful part of our celebration and memories. We’re so grateful!
27/08/2025: Cupcakes and Counting is an absolute gem in Swords! The coffee and matcha are always perfect, and I can never resist their heavenly strawberry cheesecake – it’s honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Jay and Jenny are such wonderful people, and every time I visit I feel so welcomed and uplifted by their warmth and kindness. I also love how comfortable it feels to simply take a moment for myself here – whether I want to catch up on some work or just pause and breathe. This place isn’t just about amazing cakes and drinks, it’s about the atmosphere they’ve created – cozy, friendly, and full of heart. Highly recommended! 🌸✨

The Attic
Swords
09/10/2025: A pub right next to Swords Castle. Divided into two sections, the quieter, more traditional ground floor and the more vibrant, pop culture-inspired upstairs, there's something for everyone.
12/09/2025: The greatest pub in Swords, Dublin even Ireland. FACT

08/11/2025: Very less staff on the counter always slow and they don’t care much if customers are waiting when food and drinks are ordered on the app they don’t even bring the drink on time all the ice gets melted and the drink doesn’t even taste good… very bad service

Courtyard Swords
Swords
01/07/2025: There is one golden rule when travelling: you eat where locals eat. It never fails.
Courtyard Café has well-earned the straight five stars in its reviews: on the spot made food and snacks, great coffee and friendly atmosphere.
So, do not hesitate and go to visit Sligo and, when there, go to Courtyard Café or viceversa.
14/06/2025: Courtyard Cafe is a lovely little spot with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. I spent about €14 on a flat white and a homemade sandwich, both of which were fresh and tasty. The café has a bright, airy feel with plenty of natural light, making it a great place to sit and unwind. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, adding to the comfortable vibe. It’s a perfect spot for a casual catch-up or some quiet time with good food and coffee.

Dawn Till Dusk
Swords
11/10/2025: Amazing service from our waitress, Sabrina Veríssimo. It was our first visit to the restaurant, and she was very patient explaining the dishes and very kind to our children.
11/10/2025: More interested in kicking us out than serving us. While we appreciate that the staff need to go home, being told the second you walk in at 8:45 they close at 10 then reminded every ten minutes is pretty poor tbh.
