The best restaurantsof irish

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

11/05/2025: Went for a family meal about 25 people a launch was book for 2pm and to the minute we were called to the tables it was a set menue the orders were taken prompt and about 7 ,8 minutes the food arrived it was super fresh and very tasty the boss man came around with extras and ensured every body was looked after . Staff were tops understanding there job, they also ensured the evening was spot on even down to getting a jug or extra gravy, and it arrived really quick .Value for money was 10/10 easy parking and loads of TV with the sports on but not also in you face . If in cavan town its local to the big main GAA center/pitch and you will not be disappointed over all one of the best around .

01/09/2024: Excelente comida, un entorno encantador, un gran personal experimentado y conocedor haciendo de la cena aquí una experiencia fabulosa.

11/08/2025: I was there Sunday the 10th of August at 8.43am and the gentleman who served me, known as Lee Whelton was a brilliant worker, knows the running of the place and was so very helpful he was a star ⭐️!!

08/08/2025: Great food the two small guys think there names are lee and andrew are running the place

19/11/2024: Food was lovely as usual, service was good, but once 8.20pm came, we felt like we had to leave, staff started cleaning up & setting the place for breakfast, mostly residential people there, I just felt pushed out.

13/10/2024: We dined in Porto’s for a birthday meal and we have a lovely time, the food was lovely. We had a very kind waitress, Hattie, she was extremely helpful and attentive

13/05/2026: my boyfriend went in and ordered a wrap with CAJUN CHICKEN and taco sauce and cheese we came home and their was no chicken in the wrap at all just taco sauce and cheese need to get employees that can open their ears and charged him €18.65 for mush in a wrap

09/08/2025: After many visits to Glengarriff we always enjoy the welcome and the food with Joan and Johnny The seafood especially the homemade scampi is delicious as is just having a drink with a soup and sandwich food to suit all budgets We wish them continued success

03/08/2025: Rehusado a servirnos postre y té solamente, llamaré algún día NO clientes de la Universidad y veré lo contento que estarías de servirnos entonces, Adiós.

14/02/2025: Coldest burger and chips we’ve ever had anywhere. Ordered there and then and took home which is a 3 minute drive away. Stone cold food. Very disappointing

12/02/2025: Asked for a veggie burger in there and the savage behind the counter threw a bit of lettuce between 2 bun's with red sauce on it and charged me €5 for it

24/04/2025: Perhaps we should have sticked to the cakes which looked delicious, but it was lunch so we had soup which was a joke. It was meant to be vegetable. It was very watery and tasted like stock cubes. The wrap and sandwich were ok but too expensive.

16/10/2024: The food and service was top notch The price was good . The restaurant has a beautiful artistic look and I loved the well and the fish down stairs.

03/09/2024: We just drove off the motorway to look for a quick snack. We didn't know then what a lovely surprise awaited us at the Gallery Café. There's a great display of artwork, the place is tastefully decorated and the tables spaced out reasonably well. The waitress was kind and helpful. The food simply delicious! Would definitely go again and would recommend to others.

19/04/2025: Staff were lovely, very friendly and efficient. Alot of dishes on the menu, but we got the toasties and chips. Toasties were decent, chips were nice and hot. I also got a latte, and the glass had visible coffee stains dried into it. That didn't come off when I rubbed it to check. Also, the womens bathrooms have cameras in them over the mirrors pointing at the stalls, which was a bit disturbing. The toilets looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time, visible build-up of dirt on and around the toilet seat, the smells was also disgusting in the toilets. Only one hand dispenser had soap in it, there was toilet paper just left lying around.

08/04/2025: Every now and then you find a place that ticks all the boxes and the Hideout Kilcullen was just that. Made a reservation for two for an anniversary dinner and arrived early, no problem, showen to a nice table by Leigh who was so polite and helpful. We ordered two different dinners and didn't have long to wait, the food was beautifully presented and plenty of it, very tasty. Another member of staff Demi was so bubbley and chatted to us making us feel welcome which added to a wonderful evening. I will definitely return, big thanks to the staff.
