The best restaurantsof irish

28/03/2025: I've been here a few times now Food and service is always consistent and fabulous. It's evening meal prices which is fair and food is good! I've yet to see the gardens but I'm sure they are fab too

02/03/2025: Lovely spot, great atmosphere, lovely staff, food was fantastic, a few in the party were a bit put off when they discovered they would have to pay to use the grounds which is a shame but it wouldn't stop me from returning as the food was great. They had no problem catering for coeliacs.

27/10/2024: Food 5 out 5 Beautiful with a venue not without its charm which they should totally advertise. The seafood tagliatelle was yum. This place is missing a beat with its environmental sustainability initiatives in an ever so gentle way taking locals on their journey. Reusable napkins, local food and young local staff with locals fiercely protecting these young people by coming here. They should provide little notes all over the place telling their story. Id love if they would try out a monthly jazz, celtic fusion and new music chosen by the staff . Dessert was grand but why not a trio or crackers and brandy.

24/08/2024: Always an excellent night out! The seafood is fresh and deliciously cooked, the mussels in cream and crispy calamari to start, absolutely divine. We had the chef special pasta, seafood pasta and the surf and turf tonight. Couldn’t be happier with it - the banoffee and crumble are favourites. The pizza is great, especially the seafood. Eve and Mia were absolutely lovely. Thanks Orla for a delicious meal!

04/07/2024: We booked restaurant weeks in advance for a very special occasion. When we arrived we were put sitting at the door which was extremely uncomfortable with people coming in and out and hitting/brushing off you as they passed. It was freezing cold with the door opening and closing every 30 seconds and the back of my chair was broken and I was unable to sit back into it in case I toppled over. It was the worst dining experience we ever had. I asked management could we move tables to be rudely told no it wasn’t possible even though the table beside us was empty. The table was then given to a family who dropped in on the off chance of getting a table. They hadn’t booked and we know that because I asked them! The food was very basic to say the least and my partner didn’t get his main course for 20 minutes after everyone else was served. The dessert was tasteless and the tea served was cold and like water. The only thing that was exceptional was the bill and to finish off the worst dining experience we ever had was that we were overcharged and had to be refunded for items we didn’t have. To diners out there, stop, pause and thing twice before you dine at the White Horse Ardmore.

28/06/2024: Amazing find in Ardmore for an unplanned lunch stop with a large group of 15 including kids. Everything was superb, food service and garden ambience. Perfect final lunch after an a large family gettogether.

18/02/2025: Love this cafe, visited the lighthouse and stopped in afterwards for a snack. The scones are HUGE and very fresh. My father in law had the chowder and loved it. Also good coffee!. The kids had cakes and crisps. This is my second time visiting and would definitely go back. The kids (8 & 4 yo) made some slate art with Rose just off the cafe while we were there. It only took about half an hour and they loved their slates. Highly recommend for kids if you want to entertain them while you are having your coffee.

24/01/2025: We had a blast. Any excuse to see the wonder of Ashford Castle. Loved the dark and deep atmosphere. The food was impeccable.

29/11/2024: Cenamos en el Dungeon y tuvimos un servicio absolutamente fenomenal. La comida era deliciosa, y servida con mucho entusiasmo. Habíamos investigado el menú antes de llegar, pero cambiamos de opinión cuando se presentaron los especiales. Samuel, nuestro camarero, era muy atento, e incluso se ofreció a tomar una foto para nosotros que era tan amable. Thomas también era muy atento y profesional. Nunca esperamos ni necesitamos nada. Tenían razón en cada detalle. Yo, yo mismo soy el más exigente que conozco, y alérgico a casi todo, y a mi esposo un chef (fue entrenado en Ashford Castle en la década de 1990) por lo que tenemos una alta atención a cada detalle y sabor, y aún así ambos limpiamos nuestros platos, y por supuesto comimos postre. 10 / 10 para comida y servicio.

20/12/2024: Our return visit this week was as good if not better than last time. Friendly service, good choice, excellent food. Roast beef was some of the best we had. Reasonable prices. Ample parking. Will be back.

08/12/2024: Good place to drop in for a bite to eat - great parking available at the side and back so easy to park the car. They have a set menu with very reasonable prices - but I went with the carvery which they also have going. I got fish n chips with a pint of Guinness. Service, it has to be said was slow, and we had to go to bar to get someone to take our order - which was a little disappointing. But the food was decent enough - tasty and no complaints. Pint was good too. So all in all not bad.

15/02/2025: Went there whit my two kids to celebrate a friend birthday table was just 5 chairs ask a person whit glasses on the bar for a spare chair and was not happy to be honest no recommend as I can see on next morning there's better place in Gort to enjoy whit family whit really nice staff the ones understand what you there for .

13/11/2024: Have eaten here regularly, nice place, lots of parking out back, food is consistently very good, however other than daily specials, the menu has not changed in years. Please guys, a bit of innovation wouldn't go amiss

16/06/2024: Our experience exceeded expectations. We were looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate a wedding anniversary while on holiday. The staff was very accommodating and the food was exceptionally good and not overpriced.

13/03/2025: Myself and my husband ate here on 13/03/25, I ordered the hot joint sandwich asking for all fat to be trimmed off the meat, my husband ordered toasted sandwich..the food was tasteless and the meat in the hot joint sandwich was full of fat and gristle, my husband complained about the food and it was argued by staff, staff got very confrontational and argumentative, most definitely will NOT be dining here again..

03/03/2025: Nice atmosphere, we ordered bacon and cheese potato skins to share and both had well done classic burgers - good was good. After checking twice with the waitress and getting confirmation that the Daiquiri is made with fresh strawberries- alas it was not - it was made from syrup and was a let down. Food and atmosphere 👍, cocktail 👎👎👎

21/11/2024: Excellent stay, fabulous food and very friendly staff. We will be back, very good value for money. 5 star all the way. Patrick O'Neill

17/08/2024: We stayed in the castle and dined twice in the big room. The 8 course tasting menu was really fun and some of us got the wine pairings too which ended up in some new favorite wines. The breakfast buffet was the full Irish breakfast of course but 8 days into our driving tour, this was the first time we got a perfectly cooked fried egg since day 1. Kudos to Kilronan castle! The restaurant was kind enough to sit our 3 family party all together even though we had separate reservations. Thank you!!
