The best restaurantsof irish

23/08/2025: At the Grattan Bar we had a very nice surprise: the owners decided to serve a special Brazilian feijoada. The dish was offered in two options: • small portion for €14, still very generous; • large portion for €18, perfect for bigger appetites. I tried the small one and it was more than enough — tasty, filling, and made with good quality ingredients. The price was fair and honest, really worth it. The owners are very friendly, always smiling and welcoming. They had this great idea to bring a bit of Brazil to Waterford, and they also mentioned that they plan to prepare other Brazilian dishes in the future. The only thing I would suggest is adding some Brazilian music, to make the atmosphere even more authentic. Overall, it was a great experience that I truly recommend, especially for Brazilians living nearby who want to enjoy the taste of home. 🇧🇷

21/08/2025: My wife and I stopped in for dinner and drinks and had an excellent time. The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. We shared the beef roast which was exceptional. We had dinner at a 5 star restaurant in Dublin the evening prior and the beef roast we had here was the highlight of our trip. The staff were very friendly and the place was very clean.

24/08/2025: Virginia and Adrae were the most attentive hosts. Excellent service. The food was beautiful and the cocktails delicious. My hasband and I were over the moon with our choice to dine here!

21/08/2025: Great atmosphere and great service from Virginia!!!!

11/08/2025: Fantastic food, great service and nice ambiance.

07/08/2025: Stumbled on this great restaurant whilst in Kinsale for the night (Aussie touring Ireland for 3 weeks). My wife and I had a wonderfully memorable dinner sharing plates of monkfish, prawns, croquettes and charcuterie board washed down with a very nice Tempranillo. Fantastic food and very friendly staff in a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend.

29/07/2025: Loved the Bacon Hash, a little bit pricey but delicious 😋

28/07/2025: I love a good find on Google maps and this was definitely one of them. Only had time for a quick stop for coffee but it’s a lovely place, staff are so friendly, and the food coming out of the kitchen looks amazing…..we’ll definitely be booking in for dinner in the near future ❤️

20/08/2025: Fantastic restaurant in every way - food, service, and decor, to name a few. It's not cheap but fair for the quality. Family all enjoyed it. Have a kids menu and early bird menu, which is applicable throughout the week irrespective of the time. Best to book a table online.

18/08/2025: Excellent dining experience as always. High standards of food and service have been consistent for many years.......

22/08/2025: Absolutely fantastic and excellent staff.

22/08/2025: I had dinner at Monks Lane on a Friday and really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was great, though a little on the loud side, which made it a bit hard to hear at times. I started with the bread and hummus, the bread was fresh and delicious, and the hummus was full of flavor with a nice garlicky kick. For my main, I had the hake with a parmesan crust, and it was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The fish was cooked perfectly flaky, tender, and packed with flavor. I added a side of chips, which were a great portion size and really good quality. For dessert, I went with the lemon posset and compote. The posset itself was light and lovely, but the compote was a bit too bitter and overpowered it. Aside from that, everything was excellent. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Overall, I’d highly recommend Monks Lane.

14/08/2025: Fish & chips .. lite and not greasy .. tasty Sea food chowder .. chunks! And creamy , most wonderful

18/08/2025: Booked in advance for a 21st birthday family celebration. Pre-ordered lobster and steak Did not disappoint. Superb meal in an intimate setting

19/08/2025: We were lucky to get a table at Nancy's Barn yesterday (18/8/25) and what a delightful experience it was. It was very busy but the staff were very efficient and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and we all had a lovely meal. We would highly recommend a visit.

19/08/2025: Probably the best dining experience in the area. The service was excellent — friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout. Prices were fair, and the food overall was very good. We started with prawns and chicken wings, both of which were excellent. For mains, the steak burger was tasty and satisfying, while the goat’s cheese salad was unusual — the cheese came coated in a bread/potato-style batter, which may not be to everyone’s taste. That said, the quality of service and overall experience more than made up for it. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food, good value, and genuinely friendly staff.

04/08/2025: Rian was friendly and helpful! Not once did we feel like he was inconvenienced by our questions. What a wonderful person with an amazing smile!

04/08/2025: The most beautiful kind of cappuccino!

12/08/2025: Magnificent cuisine! A great place to discover. I recommend it.

12/08/2025: Superb food at reasonable cost. Room is a little small so not great for an intimate dinner. But I liked the lively atmosphere. They have a short but reasonably priced wine menu but if you want you can BYOB for an €8 corkage fee. Strongly recommended.

05/08/2025: Probably the best restaurant I've ever been in and I imagine it'll be hard to top.
