Dax

06/07/2025: I had no idea when I was planning our visit that we'd have *two* fantastic meals I felt worthy of at least one Michelin star! Serendipitous to say the least. Again, our meals were like eating fine art - every plate was gorgeous and it took everything we had not to inhale but slow down and savor the incredible flavors. The meal started with an amuse-bouche consisting of a sushi bite, one I can't remember, and a delicious gougère. For starters, my husband had the stuffed courgette flower surrounded by an unctuous seafood bisque - the bisque was utterly amazing. I had the goat cheese salad, a riot of color and taste. My husband had the John Dory nightly special for his main, while I had the most perfectly cooked lamb with an apricot compote. Desserts were a trio of chocolate confections (husband) and a scrumptious pavlova (me). And as a special surprise, they brought out a plate with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate, with a chocolate raspberry truffle and a mini lemon tart. The lemon flavor was to die for! Our server was very correct and knowledgeable, but the real delight was the assistant server - I wish I'd asked her name. She graciously allowed me to speak French with her (she's from Montpellier) and we had such a great time chatting I was afraid I'd get her in trouble for neglecting her other duties. She was the true gem of the place. The restaurant is cozy and intimate, and it was completely packed. I wholeheartedly recommend booking a table!

La Côte
Wexford
28/06/2025: Ella served us, what a lovely, lovely, bright soul! Made our evening beautiful. The food was INCREDIBLE. As a couple, we have literally travelled all over the world, for the price you pay, the portions are decent, flavors were on point and like I said I want a tub full of that potato gratin (soo cozy and just divine!) We ordered the monk and sole, we also had salmon appetizers AMAZING.. Thank you for making our first dinner out in Ireland memorable. The vibe was cosy, the service was kind and bright, and the food was a hit. Thank you once again. We hope to see you again.
27/06/2025: Amazing food. We had the sole and hake. Both were cooked to perfection. And we had one the best waitresses ever. Thank you Ella!

Oarsman
Carrick-on-shannon
14/07/2025: The monkfish was great. Mr John Crow played the guitar like no other with fingertip skills and great feeling for tempo, volume and choice of music. He made our day end in the best of manners. 😃👍

Captain House Restaurant
Tullamore
07/07/2025: Such a lovely place! The owner is kind and very welcoming, and the food is absolutely fantastic. We ordered calamari and chips, pear and blue cheese salad, seabass, and seafood pasta with a bottle of Riesling. Everything was heavenly delicious and beautifully presented. No matter what you choose, you can't go wrong. Our only regret is not discovering this gem sooner, before our time in Tullamore comes to an end.
28/06/2025: As always, it was an amazing experience, food was lovely. Will defo visit again.

Rouge
Galway
09/07/2025: Vino por recomendación de un agente de viajes escocés y estuvo a la altura de las expectativas. Buen aspecto y ambiente estilo bistró. Pequeño menú del día con generoso aperitivo del chef como entrada. Filetes de alta calidad y cocinados a la perfección y servidos con una generosa guarnición a elección. Vinos Francés por copa y botella (tomamos Pinot Noir de Pay's D'Oc) de buena calidad. Buena selección de postres y helados. Personal amable aunque un poco caótico al principio, por eso le doy 4 estrellas en lugar de 5. Vale la pena visitarlo cuando estés en Galway.
22/06/2025: I came to Rouge in April 2019 when I lived in Galway and now I came back, I had a dinner this week on Wednesday and I have to say the food has nothing absolutely nothing to do with the one from 2019. The dishes are far more flavourful, made perfectly like in a French restaurant and I have been to France many times ^^ the transformation is extraordinary and I think the new chef is someone who deserves recognition because it was really incredible what he has prepared for us.

Campagne
Kilkenny
06/07/2025: Superb family lunch in Campagne. Great food and service and great value for the quality of everything we had. Very easy train trip from Dublin also
19/06/2025: 3.5/5 Stars
While the meal was certainly pleasant, it fell short of the exceptional experience one might expect from a Michelin-starred establishment. At this level, I anticipate a notable attention to detail, a flair for creativity, and a consistent elevation in quality. Though the dishes were tasty, none stood out as truly remarkable. The scallop ravioli, however, was a standout: impeccably cooked, perfectly seasoned, and a testament to culinary precision. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not exude the elevated standard associated with Michelin recognition.
The cheese course, in particular, was a point of disappointment—lacking the sophistication one might hope for in such a setting.
As for the ambiance, the decor was adequate but unremarkable—nothing that would leave a lasting impression or elevate the dining experience beyond the ordinary.
The service, unfortunately, did not align with the expectations one might have for a Michelin-starred venue. The staff, though friendly, lacked the polish and refinement that typically accompanies such an esteemed rating. Issues ranged from simple lapses, such as not remembering which dish belonged to which guest, to more noticeable oversights like failing to present the dessert wine menu before the cheese course, or even neglecting to refill water glasses. Additionally, dirty plates were left on the table for an extended period.
In summary, while the meal was enjoyable, the overall experience did not reflect the caliber typically associated with a Michelin star. There is potential here, but a more focused commitment to detail, both in the kitchen and front of house, is needed to truly distinguish this restaurant.

Java's
Galway
06/07/2025: é tutto buonissimo, il prezzo è buono, consiglio la 4 formaggi con aggiunta di prosciutto o anhe solo la classica senza uova
14/06/2025: I normally dont post reviews but this one deserved one.
The owner is incredibly rude.
The staff is nice and food is good. I actually came here three days in a row and bought a lot of food until i met the owner. He was sooo rude especially to Women!! Being a man he had no respect and was almost yelling!
I dont mind following rules but nothing gives you the right to be so pretentious, disrespectful and pathetic. He was also smashing the glasses on the table while cleaning it and had a terrible facial expression. Im honestly shocked this guy had no manners and clearly it showed.
I will never visit again and also advise everyone not to come here if you want a civilised, decent time out.
Edit : owner says i wasnt a customer but i actually have a picture of my receipt since i dined there three days in a row and no nothing is false the owner was very rude and loud and disrespectful. When asked about the wait time he said “i dont know stand outside i cant have you stand in here” very rudely lol

Vie de Châteaux
Naas legal town
12/05/2025: My friend and I had dinner in 2nd May 2025 and I can only describe the experience as superb. We both thought Menu choices were very very good and I personally selected the Veal which was “melt in the mouth”. It’s not often on Irish menus which is a pity. I also wish to acknowledge that a change of dining time was facilitated without any fuss. We will definitely be back.
09/05/2025: This was our first visit and selected this restaurant on the internet. 7 of us for dinner. Food was amazing and service excellent, attentive but not intrusive. Would highly recommend.

The Bishop's Buttery

05/05/2025: We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting offering - the quality of the menu and food, the service and timing was exemplary. The sommelier rounded out a first class experience at The Bishop's Buttery!
21/04/2025: We had a dinner at the restaurant last night first, the food was excellent. There was plenty of choices. Also, the service was impeccable. It was also quiet which was inportant. I am gluten free and they accommodate it well.

l'Gueuleton
Dublin
16/07/2025: We hosted our engagement party on Sunday 13th July in L’Gueuleton for 40 people. We are so grateful to all of the staff who made our engagement party so memorable and special. From the organisation when I first reached out to enquire right throughout the night of the party the support from the staff was incredible and very accommodating.
All of our guests commented on the venue which has lit candles decorated around, background music playing and the fantastic food. Our compliments to the kitchen, we had so many comments about how amazing the food was and how plentiful it was. The burgers, prawns and sausage rolls were the firm favourite.
It was really hot day in Dublin and the team ensured that there was outside seating reserved for our party to use when needed.
The bartenders always make the best aperol spritz and their rosé wine is beautiful.
We love L’Gueuleton and will definitely be back soon. Thank you for making us feel so special !!
13/07/2025: Okay but not much more. The food is too fat or too sweet (French toast). Situation with the nice terrasse rises the note on the other end.
