The best restaurantsof irish

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!!

28/09/2024: Excellent food and service as always , staff were amazing are always, thanks Martina , Lyndsey and Joanne ye are great craic

02/09/2024: We LOVE this place for lunch, it’s fast, it’s clean and the food it’s soooooo good. The staff are so efficient, friendly and most of them have been there for years! Lyndsey is shush fun she always sees us coming in the door and wastes no time sitting us down and getting us the menu! Excellent service. This is our favorite restaurant in Athlone!

25/10/2024: Stopped in here for lunch yesterday. We got a lovely warm welcome on a cold miserable day . We had delicious home made mushroom soup and sandwiches that were filled to the brim , . Followed by the scrumptious cheese cake and sticky pudding . The cappuccino is as the best I’ve had in ages . The Staff were very friendly especially the slightly more mature lady who was very willing to answer my questions about Roscrea a town I hadn’t visited in many many years . I highly recommend this restaurant. Ye are doing a fantastic job guys .

14/06/2024: Nice food, reasonably priced, good service, local spot on the main drag. Serves breakfast (didn’t have) and lunch (did have). Will return!

09/07/2024: We went for a late Sunday lunch around 5pm. It’s not a traditional carvery but they did offer, turkey, ham and beef plated Sunday lunch which was delicious. By 5pm they had run out of the special and 3 other menu options but I guess that is our fault for not going earlier. Our server was very young but she was very friendly and fid a great job.

11/07/2024: This is our 2nd time here this week the atmosphere and drinks/snacks are great. Really good value and my family loved the local pub atmosphere. Everyone knows everyone My daughter asked for extra side with her order and not a problem. Lovely little rural pub with good food. They want to return before they leave next week

10/07/2024: Rang to book a table for last Friday 5th of July, to be told that we didn't need to book on a Friday. We arrived & it was packed. Staff member asked us had we booked a table we advised her that we tried to but we were told that we didn't need to. It didn't take too long but we got sorted with one. From the time we sat down the service was awful. Two different types of red wine were ordered but when the waitress brought them down she wasn't sure what one of them was. She left the glass of wine on the table and went to check but never returned. We ordered 2 more rounds of drinks and each time there was an issue. The food didn't make up for it either. The chips were reheats and cold, very disappointing when you order fish and chips. Then the bill came, we could hardly make it out as the ink was so faint. From what we could see it looked fine to us, we divided it and agreed on a tip. Then the waitress came over to say that we had actually been given the wrong bill. Again it was very faint. At this stage, we were getting annoyed, 33 was recommended to us and it really wasn't living up to it. My friend got up to look for the manager. She explained the situation with the bill and the service. The manager then gave her another bill, different to the other 2, this was bill number 3. We joined her at this stage and couldn't believe it. He told us that he went onto the cameras and watched every order that we got. We are a group of 4 ladies in our mid forties and fifties, we were not looking to get anything for nothing. But to be told that he felt the need to go onto the cameras, this just shocked us. We just wanted to pay the bill and go home. Needless to say, we will not be returning or recommending it.

11/06/2024: It's literally the worst service ever! Come here if you want to be ignored. Waitress seemed surprised we arrived, even though we had a booking. Had to eventually ask for a menu and then ask for the Waitress to take our order. Then asked for ice cream for the kids after and after 30minutes asked if we could actually get the scoops of ice cream. AVOID

24/07/2024: Lovely setting with views over the River Lee. Staff were attentive. I had the hake and my companion had the duck and we were both happy with our food. The cheesecake which we shared for dessert however was disappointing. Base was rock hard and difficult to cut. Wouldn’t have it again.

16/09/2024: Have used the Stena line and in future will stick to the Stena Line. Communication from Irish Ferries is extremely poor, in fact nonexistent. No one contacted to advise us of the change in boat and therefore facilities. When we asked on board it was just a contact them yourself attitude. I did email and received no apology, so I further asked when was the update email prior to sailing for when the change of facilities. No reply. We booked and paid for the Club Class on the Rosslare to Pembroke only on arrival to be told that on this boat it didn't exist. There was only 1 working toilet on thr boat for women which meant large queues and foul smelling for the duration. On the whole the boat felt outdated, grubby and as the cost was the same as the Stena very overpriced. Never again, I'll stick to the much better value and conditions of Stena for this crossing.

04/09/2024: Irish ferries Rosslare Sailed on the 14.45 crossing from Pembroke to Rosslare. Bad weather meant the crossing was delayed - completely fair enough - but on arrival we were kept on the car deck waiting for over 45 minutes. No explanation. Could not have been due to the weather as it had passed by then and we were securely docked. We missed a restaurant booking due to this, so no food for us. I emailed the company suggesting compensation - no chance. I then emailed again suggesting perhaps an upgrade to Club Class on our return trip as a tiny, tiny apology. They couldn’t be bothered to even reply. So…. Dear Irish Ferries. 1) What was the problem with getting the bow doors to open on arrival? 2) Why are you so extremely rude as to not reply to my second email?

24/10/2024: We were here for a small wedding. Ailish, Enda and their staff couldn't do enough for us to make the occasion stress free and wonderful. The food was amazing with very generous helpings. The setting, ambience and restaurant is wonderful with lots of space to cater for the younger and older members of the family. We will be back.
