The best restaurantsof irish

27/07/2025: Lovely restaurant, travelled with friends for a funeral. Food was very fresh and the employees were very attentive in this very busy cafe. Loved the sourdough pesto, chicken and brie melt.

30/04/2025: I look screw In the doner kebab I tell to manager he was happy,very check before eating, not recommended, Mars Pizza Navan

16/03/2025: Just awful awful- terrible service took my money and received no food .. then cancelled my order and had me waiting days for the refund… very unhelpful when I called.

31/07/2025: Meant to write sooner. I stayed in Bellinter with my aunt who has some mobility issues in early June. I knew it was an old house so pre-checked re facilities etc. Well I can only say from reception, all restaurant/bar staff, the welcome & hospitality shown to us was outstanding. I have stayed here before & always enjoyed. But this was extra special. Everyone including maintenance dept were extremely helpful & kind. It’s such a pleasure to experience this. These are just a few of the names of great humans I came across Serena. Shirley. Tina. Sharon. Deniz & Shona. Many thanks. The dinner was Devine too! Beautiful fresh ingredients & great wine list. The only suggestion I’d give, is a bit more attention to the cooked breakfast in the morning. Otherwise great selection of fresh fruits etc. thank you 🙏🏼

08/06/2025: Delightful dinner meal. Well cooked, fresh ingredients, and great flavor. Surprisingly, the most delicious crème brûlèe I have ever had (trust me). Kind and friendly service. Relaxing seating.

25/06/2024: Estoy absolutamente asombrado de cómo cualquiera con un indicio de un fondo de cocina podría servir lo que me sirvieron hoy - fue nada menos que impactante ... . . El pan estaba rancio. El tocino demasiado cocido y grasiento. Los hongos viscosos. NO había ninguna característica de canje en esta placa y pagué 16 € por ella? Ni siquiera me preguntaron si estaba bien. Por el amor de Dios, contrate a un chef y no siga ofendiendo a su clientela sobrecargada. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

21/08/2025: A five star experience here the other evening. Went with my mother and partner and blown away by the whole experience. The three course menu is great value for Ireland, the wine list comprehensive and, most importantly, the service outstanding! Kudos all round.

04/08/2025: Visiting from West Virginia enjoyed great food and atmosphere. Gavin did a wonderful Irish coffee demonstration. Definitely the icing on the evening😍

06/07/2025: Wouldn’t recommend for a young family - no high chair and no mash potato Starter prawn cocktail was average Ordered a medium cooked fillet steak - first steak was cremated so sent it back, asked again for medium and received a rare fillet in its place - 38euro for the fillet = hugely disappointing

02/05/2025: So disappointed with jumbo scampi definitely frozen and poor value for money. Looking forward to a meal after many years away.

30/12/2024: Not at all. Over an hour for take out delivery. Really rude server. Yet to get food. Really rubbish. Not recommended for anyone.

22/12/2024: Without a doubt , the worst fish and chips I have ever been served. My wife had the smoked cod, was thinner than a slice of sliced bread. The batter was practically non existant. Now to the ray that I ordered. I come from Raytown (Ringsend) It was disgraceful. To serve what I got was just horrendous. Inside the overcooked thin lair of batter was the smallest piece of Ray I have ever seen. I've been eating Ray all my life and this was the worst I have ever been served. The excuse I was given was that is all they could buy from their supplier. To which I replied , why did you buy it if it is inferior. And then try to pawn it off on customers. Needless to say Sharkys will never see us again. Dreadful food and the staff with their take it or leave it attitude was not a lot to be proud of.

15/09/2025: Refused delivery after paying for it. Wouldn’t recommend at all

05/06/2025: Food is great, loved the pizza so fresh. Fast service A++

30/11/2025: Not very open to public For is a 3/10 because it all looks and tastes like store bought from centra Very little choice No real community vibe like the rest of the coffee shops in Bandon No effort put in at all Very sad it could be a great coffee stop for everyone Will not be coming back

18/08/2025: Saturday afternoon 17.15hours we were told by a young lady hiding down at the back of the cafe on her phone that they were closed!!! Having just checked the operating hours it quite clearly states closing at 6pm

26/05/2025: Arranged a Sunday lunch visit for four family members including a 90 year old who ordered the lamb which was "extra". Two of us had Turkey and Ham and one had a burger. The lamb was tough and clearly wasn't fresh but the worst was a side of cabbage which was so obviously off and had been masked with some kind of cream and peas added in. I told the waiter who said he would "let the kitchen know". Sid anyone speak to us about it? No. Did we get a reduction in bill? No. Will we be back? No.

18/07/2025: Family of 4 adults . 2 had fish and chips both really disappointed. We have been several times for food and always good. Spoke to the waiter who said he would tell the chef. Really disappointed

20/06/2025: Good afternoon, Last Saturday we made our first visit to this restaurant since 2017, prior to which we had hosted many of our family’s special occasions and often stayed overnight. Every one of those occasions was impeccable and we have many happy memories of birthdays and anniversaries celebrated there.....and sad memories too of after funeral refreshments for both my wife's parents. I brought my daughter for what was intended to be a special outing for her as she seldom goes out anywhere due to serious health issues. We had chicken wings which were excellent but after that everything went downhill rapidly. My daughter chose a pasta dish but she could only eat half as it was at best mediocre. I chose roast beef and stated categorically that I did not want gravy poured over my meal and I asked could the gravy be served in a small bowl on the side. The young girl was very pleasant and helpful; she understood my request and said yes, that’s fine, absolutely no problem. We didn’t see her again after that. When another person brought the meal to the table it was absolutely swimming in gravy. I said I had requested the meal to be served without gravy, with the gravy to be served on the side. He took it away and changed it. It really appeared that I was served the dregs remaining from lunchtime and although it was towards late afternoon, that is not an excuse for me receiving stale carrots and mashed potatoes that had very obviously been kept warm in a Bain-Marie for a number of hours. The cabbage apparently had all gone so I got none. The beef was not remotely succulent and was as tough as leather but I persevered in struggling through it until a fly (there were many flies in the area where we’d been seated) came and sat on the beef. At that point I gave up and went to get some tissues to wrap the beef up to bring home to our cat. I was totally put off. As a result we decided to skip dessert. One would have expected the restaurant to have take steps in the warm weather to deal with the problem of flies in a dining area. The only part of the main course that I was able to enjoy was the roast potatoes which I have to say were excellent but overall the experience was a very disappointing one. What made it even more disappointing was the fact that at no stage during the meal did anyone come over, as is usual practice, to ask if everything is ok. And when I was paying, I wasn't asked then either. Had I been asked I would have outlined all these difficulties. Sent from Outlook for iOS
