The best restaurantsof irish

30/03/2026: We went to this restaurant for dinner as it was closer to our hotel. It ended up being one of the most memorable night in Ireland, or actually, ever. We've never been treated like a long lost family from total strangers. Melisa, his wife Martha, and the son, Christian were unbelievable people. If this is the Irish spirits then wow, count me in! Melissa was so warm, chatty, friendly to go along with fantastic food!! He came to sit and chatted for a bit. As good as the food and drinks were, the hospitality and the way they make you feel is 10x better! If you ever come near Waterford, you must come visit the Grattans, and hang out with your new found family!! We even got a pic behind the bar with them. We'll be back for sure! If I could give 10 stars for service and friendliness, I would.

23/03/2026: Bloke was very nice and welcoming and up for a chat and food was lovely

18/04/2026: A great pub! The service is excellent and the food is very good!

10/04/2026: Went twice here over Easter. Both a party of 8 adults. The service was excellent, quick and attentive and no mistakes. The Food was outstanding. Everything was fresh and plentiful. Even fresh chips, no frozen chips here. Not a thing was out of place. The prices were on the mark. No expensive. Would highly recommend, but book to make sure.

21/04/2026: we had a fantastic lunch on a saturday at BANG. Food was absolutely amazing, the wine list is very well curated and the service is attentive and on point. Highly recommend.

19/04/2026: We had a family celebration of 37 people. A fab evening, super service by Virginia and Dom. wonderful food in family sharing which resulted in lots of chat and fun. A really wonderful venue, great atmosphere, fab food and highly efficient and responsive service. I would highly recommend.

12/01/2026: Incredible food, incredible interior and exterior, great vibes. Very fair pricing and really nice wine and bonus my wife looked beautiful 😍

09/01/2026: Our favourite wine bar worldwide. Having sampled wine bars on five continents it’s always a pleasure to return to Kinsale and experience The Black Pig. One of the longest wine lists I have ever seen and caters for all tastes and budgets. Make sure you book as there may not be room if you pop in on chance, but they will always try and fit you in.

22/03/2026: Beautiful meal with a great view. Always exceptional service

20/03/2026: Spectacular meal in an equally special setting. The service is wonderful from all the career waiters and waitresses. A must try if in Cork.

04/05/2026: Very tasty food, good size portions in reasonable price. Nice selection of menu and specials of the day. Helpful and friendly staff. We've been here couple times. Over the weekend is busy, so recommend reservation (but it's not necessary). Possible to park on the street parking.

27/04/2026: Great food, very friendly staff. Fantastic breakfast.

28/03/2026: An absolute gem! Awesome food! If you're passing through Timoleague take the opportunity to experience this delightful restaurant which resonates with character

28/03/2026: Mind Blown !! Any time I eat here it seems to get better... our meal last night was exceptional!! .. Each dish was prepared to absolute perfection 💯 I don't think I've ever had such a flawless dining experience. Top notch 👏

11/04/2026: Had an absolutely gorgeous meal here. It was very last minute as we were staying round the corner and needed somewhere to eat, quite late, but what a little gem this place is. We were greeted and served by Phil, he was warm, welcoming, friendly and really attentive. The short rib beef was incredible! Definitely worth a visit! From your new friends, from London & Manchester!

09/04/2026: Terrific little place. Food was absolutely spot on. Presentation, flavour, utterly flawless. Service was great, friendly and professional without being pretentious or overly fussy. It's quite a small place with a couple of bigger groups dining when we arrived. This added to the ambience but didn't detract from us having a cosy intimate meal. Great selection from the menu, wine list is simple and Considered. Highly recommend dining here if you're staying locally.

02/04/2026: Daniels is an absolutely world class! The scallops in the cream sauce and the lobster bisque are a must get. Plus getting to talk to the chef himself about his travels and extensive wine knowledge is a treat.

02/04/2026: Amazing food and amazing chef! I really enjoyed all the dishes we had, especially knowing how personal the food and wine menu is for Daniel. My personal favorite is the scallops which is INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!

07/03/2026: Very nice place and comfortable! The food, the service everything is perfect. Nice night!

29/12/2025: Great menu with some really tasty dishes. Great value on their early bird menu too. Will definitely go again.

04/05/2026: Good coffee ☺️ They're friendly 👍🏻

04/05/2026: Service was amazing. Food and coffee was so delicious 🤤. Come back for sure.❤️Thank you for such nice Experience. See you soon

07/03/2026: We came here with an organized tour. 33 people. This was an experience we won't forget! Had never slept inside a castle before. I would love to do this again.

28/02/2026: I am speechless??? I love a classy, upscale stay, but this was otherworldly. If anything else ever tops it, I'm convinced I'll have died and gone to heaven. The service was the best I've ever experienced. Richard greeted us cheerily and carried in all our bags, valet parked our car, and happily retrieved a few small items we'd left in the car door and brought them to our room. We were given a full tour of the room, and my boys were *thrilled* to see candy and stuffies waiting for them on the bed. At dinner in the Thomand, Matthew commented on the view from our room and greeted my boys by name. We were seated and cared for as though we were royalty. They surprised us and brought chocolate cake, complete with a candle and "happy 9th birthday" beautifully written in icing, and the server sang to my son during dinner! We were driven to and from the pool in the adjacent building whenever we wished, the rowboats on the pond are complimentary to use, and our falconry experience with Jack was a once in a lifetime experience we will treasure. Of course the castle and grounds itself are enchanting. A winding drive past gnarled, aged oak trees and a glistening pond set the tone for the stunning castle set behind them. It's beautifully furnished, landscaped, and decorated. The rooms strike a lovely balance of functionality, class, and welcoming warmth. I hope another Dromoland stay is in my future. :)

11/04/2026: I went there for my anniversary the food was amazing, our server Aishlinn was so polite and friendly. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. I would 100% come back and told all my friends and family to check it out.

10/04/2026: Came for the burgers with a GF bun, and they exceeded our expectations! Very chill spot, great staff (thanks Matthew!), excellent vibes.

14/04/2026: Sat next to the fire, had a local beer and the roast of the day : pork loin with dressing, mashed and vegetables. Take the very SHORT detour off the Ring of Kerry for this place, you will be glad you did.

10/04/2026: Nothing better. Come. And share you're music and spirit. This is a place for love.

02/04/2026: Cozy place, comfortable. delicious food and attentive service. Delightful!

02/04/2026: Cozy, friendly. Sat next to the fireplace. Plenty of vegan options. The soup of the day was delicious. Interior is classy yet laid back. Lots of music ephemera on the walls. Had an early weeknight dinner, so it was quiet and not busy.
