The best restaurantsof french

25/09/2025: It’s a beautiful restaurant in a great location, we thought the food was okay but definitely not worth the price, the service was unbelievably terrible making the entire experience unpleasant. In our two weeks in Ireland we have had incredible meal experiences. Roly’s however was definitely the worst.

25/09/2025: Excellent food, lovely stuff and the atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Nice to be able to pop over to the bridge for a pint after!

12/10/2024: Fabulous dining experience, full house on a Saturday night provided for a lovely atmosphere helped by laid back, pleasant, friendly staff who were well trained and super at what they do. Great building with old style large shopfront windows. BYO policy at no extra charge which is pretty unique! Every dish was fresh & delicious, mussels, sea bream, haddock, beef all cooked and presented to perfection. Totally enjoyable evening finished off nicely with a reasonable bill. Definitely recommend.

16/09/2024: Fabulous restaurant in the picturesque setting of Rosscarbery village with large windows to take it in and we had the perfect table inside the window to enjoy it. We were advised on arrival of the BYO policy with local pubs happily allowing takeaway drinks to the restaurant or shop with off licence a few doors away. Complimentary delicious bread was served immediately which is becoming more of a rarity. The BYO is also complimentary even though they chill your beers and supply wine coolers and glasses at your table. We started with mussels and portobello mushrooms, our mains included haddock, crayfish & a slow cooked beef pasta dish finishing off with yummy desserts. Each dish and mouthful was cooked to perfection and so flavoursome. Roast veg were served with mains, water bowls not forgotten with mussels, food and service was perfection. Finally the dreaded part……the bill but this was almost as good as the food!!! This restaurant is extremely well priced, something we don’t see these days…….value for money offering superb quality food and pleasant service in a really nice atmosphere makes for a night out that you’ll want to and can afford to repeat several times. Highly highly recommend.

06/09/2025: Got two sandwiches and an iced coffee for 12 euro so the prices were very reasonable and the food was fine. The atmosphere inside wasn't very nice though, it was very dark, the bathroom looked very dirty (window was grimy, toilet seat was really rusted, cobwebs in the corner) and the whole place felt a bit like someome was trying too hard to be trendy without actually caring. I've been here twice now but I don't think I'll come again because it's easier and nicer to just go to the petrol station. Thanks.

10/08/2025: Stopped here for lunch while cycling the Royal Canal Greenway, it's just a few minutes from the greenway with a bike rack outside. Had toasties with tea & coffee followed by lovely homemade cakes.

13/07/2025: Very disappointing meal unfortunately. We had crab claws and cod fritters which didn’t have much flavour, a caprese salad where the mozzarella tasted of fish, and scallops which were ok but nothing amazing. They served us Aldi bake at home ciabatta and garlic bread which again was just ok. For the price we paid the food was mediocre at best.

11/07/2025: Always fantastic all round, i have been to this restaurant since it opened and have never been disappointed Keep up the good work

13/04/2025: Ambiente/vibración fantástico, un retroceso total a los años 70 y 80, pero no se siente cojo y anticuado, comenzando por la sensación secreta de entrada y el viaje por las escaleras. Tranquilo, buena comida y una gran carta de vinos. El servicio también era excelente y la música encajaba con el ambiente. Estuve en Irlanda durante aproximadamente 2 semanas y este fue el descanso perfecto de la vida del pub. ¡Volveremos al 100%!

02/02/2025: Visitamos La Cueva con la esperanza de una auténtica experiencia gastronómica francesa, pero desafortunadamente, la comida y el servicio no cumplieron con las expectativas. Como nota positiva, el lugar en sí es hermoso y tiene un ambiente elegante, preparando el escenario para lo que esperábamos que fuera una gran comida. Sin embargo, la comida estaba lejos de ser auténtica, y nos dejamos cuestionando si el chef tiene formación formal en cocina francesa. Comienzo: La sopa de cebolla francesa fue decepcionante y careció de los sabores ricos y profundos que definen este plato. Principal: La caña de cordero era promedio en el mejor de los casos, y las guarniciones no la complementaban bien. Los sabores se sentían desiguales. Postre & queso: La selección de quesos sabía como si procediera de un supermercado local, y las galletas saladas eran galletas saladas estándar de Carr directamente de un paquete, difícilmente lo que se esperaría de un restaurante que tiene como objetivo ofrecer una experiencia gastronómica francesa. Tampoco había servicio. Mientras que los camareros eran amables, tuvimos que pedir todo — agua, limpiar la mesa, e incluso el siguiente plato. Hubo poca atención, lo que hizo la experiencia frustrante. En general, aunque La Cueva tiene un entorno hermoso y elegante, la comida y el servicio no estuvieron a la altura de las expectativas. Desafortunadamente, no lo recomendaría para aquellos que buscan una verdadera experiencia gastronómica francesa.
