The best restaurantsof irish

19/08/2025: I recently played two rounds at Mount Juliet during a short trip home — teeing off at 4:00 PM one day and again at 8:20 AM the next morning. I spent over €400 between green fees and buggy hire, expecting a top-tier golfing experience. Unfortunately, it fell well short of expectations. The front nine on both days was significantly disrupted by maintenance work. Grounds staff were actively working on most holes, and a maintenance vehicle followed me for three consecutive holes. Every time I lined up a shot, the vehicle’s engine would idle or start nearby — whether intentional or not, it was incredibly distracting and took away from the experience. Several bunkers were also in noticeably poor condition, which is surprising given the high standard Mount Juliet is known for. The worst part, however, was the buggy I hired for €60. It couldn’t reverse and had to be physically pushed multiple times during the round — completely unacceptable for a course charging these kinds of premium rates. I emailed the club three times over the course of more than two weeks and received no response. I had hoped for at least an acknowledgment, if not a goodwill gesture like a voucher or future round — especially as I won’t have time to return this trip. I’ve played Mount Juliet regularly when home, and I was genuinely looking forward to this visit. Sadly, the experience and lack of customer service were a real letdown.

02/08/2025: Recién llegado a casa un rato después de un gran día jugando Mount Juliet... me encantó el campo, aunque tal vez sea fácil decirlo después de disparar 79 gross / 39 pts. Los greens eran excelentes y el campo superó mis expectativas. . . sí, algunos trozos irregulares en calles, PERO el campo en general se veía muy bien y los greens eran excelentes. Desde que llegamos hasta que nos fuimos... el personal era increíble. Jovencita en la tienda profesional era acogedor, charlatán y servicial. El joven que hace de titular era acogedor, informativo y charlatán . . el joven en el 10o también amable y charlatán - buenas bromas sobre el rugby y finalmente Amber fue excelente cuidando de nosotros durante nuestra comida. Ambos si disfrutamos del Butter Chicken & Fish & Chips respectivamente seguido del helado Ic Cream & Brownie postres.

15/08/2025: Great food and a lovely art exhibition

08/03/2025: Went with family for dinner last night. The food was excellent from starters to deserts the portions were very generous. The atmosphere was great in the lovely open space. From booking to leaving the staff were wonderful with all 11 of us agreeing it would be hard to beat. Thanks for a fantastic evening.

08/02/2025: This is our go to as locals. The food is always top quality and the portion sizes are such great value for money. Have been at least 3 times within the last couple of months and collectively had a handful of things from the menu and cannot fault any of it. We also appreciate the fact that you can get any of the mains as half portions, because then my daughter can get anything she wants from the main/specials menu without being limited to the usual "kids meals". The only small thing would be that there are no roast potatoes on the roasts, but that doesn't stop us from coming back. We enjoy the relaxed atmosphere too. Overall very happy customers and will continue going back.

14/07/2024: Tuvimos un tiempo increíble en el brunch sin fondo. El servicio fue absolutamente increíble, y el DJ realmente añadió a toda la experiencia. Muy recomendable

19/06/2024: Honestamente, no puedo entender la alta calificación que este lugar ha logrado. Estábamos de despedida de soltera y reservamos las 2: 30 Ranura de almuerzo sin fondo el sábado. Era un manicomio absoluto con la música por las nubes. Terrible comida, asqueroso efervescente y cócteles acuosos. El comedor es una larga habitación estrecha oscura sin cubiertas en las mesas y sillas de mala calidad. Nos fuimos después de una hora. Si usted está pensando en reservar esto, debe conseguir uno de su grupo para ir primero para comprobarlo.

19/06/2025: Had seen pics of this place on various social media and it looked amazing so took the trip from Navan to experience a seafood lunch with a lovely view. The place was all locked up. The time we visited 12.20 Thursday 19.06.25 but had been hanging around from 12, and website says restaurant opens at 12 midday. Chatted to the lady across the road in the shop and she said the staff were in there alright. I remember this happening last year when I visited too, and the place shut, so my advice dont bother or put yourself out, as there are many other places that want your business. We went to the secret garden Carraigdale hotel for coffee , fabulous gardens, and ate in Strandfield cafe opposite Ballymascanlon hotel, amazing place for our main meal so all was not lost. Such a pity Glyde inn, as would have loved to have seen your lovely restaurant, but wont be returning again.

07/06/2025: We booked for lunch having heard that this pub was voted best in Leinster our expectations were high. Our starters were lovely We had oysters for 2 fishcake and caesar salad so far so good. Our mains took 45 mins to come out and every dish was disappointing Hake was not fresh and was overcooked, seafood pasta had very little fish and no prawns and worst dish of all was the fish and chips it was overcooked and 75% batter We waited for staff to clear table and ask how was your meal but nobody came near us after over 2 hours at the table for 2 courses we went looking for our bill, we paid it and will not be back . How they could be one of the best gastropubs in Ireland beats me.

23/04/2025: Nice decor, passable food, subpar service. Doesn't add up to justify the hefty price tag. Thinks it’s more than it is. Disappointing experience overall.

04/04/2025: Passing through Killybegs one evening, we called in to Tara Hotel restaurant for an evening meal. The staff were excellent , the premises were recently revamped to a high standard. The food was excellent with large portions and we would certainly recommend this venue.

05/08/2025: Here for dinner a few times and food just keeps getting better and better , recently went on a Tuesday and had the new tapas menu which was a great addition to the menu , cocktails are always delicious aswell , staff are lovely friendly , will defiantly be returning keep up the good work

01/08/2025: I got the tomato and meatballs to start and they were delicious to be honest the best ive ever had then I had the pork belly and it was fantastic the standard up in the station is second to none well done Sara and georgie and all the staff !!
