The best restaurantsof irish

17/10/2024: Great spot in the heart of Killorglin. Pub/restaurant, we dropped in on spec for some dinner with the local branch of the family. A regular stop when in Killorglin, and a comfortable one. Great staff, good menu, and friendly crowd - highly recommend!

16/10/2024: On vacation to Ireland, our first stop was Kilorglin, and while waiting for our hotel room to be ready, we stopped for lunch at Bunkers - the hospitality was wonderful and I had my first Guinness. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the following night for dinner. The food and service, with server Ady, was great, and the trip across the Atlantic was worth it for the Chicken Hibernia. The peppery mushroom sauce on the chicken supremes was fabulous. Great place to relax, chat with the locals and the staff, and hang out for a couple of hours.

23/06/2024: Best Sunday lunch in the area.Always delicious, Great menu which is regularly updated.Great staff , beautiful views across the estuary.Always a lovely atmosphere.Open all year.Highly recommend.

27/08/2024: Need more variety in the menu. I ordered the chicken stir fry which stated on the menu that it came with noodles. They were not noodles but overcooked spaghetti. Not enjoyable . Also the menu needs a roast dinner option. Staff were pleasant but won't be rushing back as improvements are needed

15/07/2024: We are staying at the Ashe Hotel for one night on our way around Ireland and enjoyed our meals and pints of Guinness here. Kids finished their meals and dessert and we loved the salmon and Hereford steak.

31/01/2025: RIP OFF IRELAND IS ALIVE AND WELL IN ROSSLARE HARBOUR!!! My colleague and I visited the Garden Cafe yesterday. A young waitress approached our table with Breakfast Menus and enquired if we wanted Tea or Coffee, we ordered a Pot of Tea for Two. 2 Small Tea Pots duly arrived to the table delivered by our young waitress. The Manager then arrived and to take our food order. The place appeared clean, and the food was fresh and hot. No issues there. My tea soon ran out , and I asked the young lady for a Top Up. My colleague commented on the lack of Training, in that she did not enquire if he required a Top Up to his tea po, which he did. She duly delivered my Topped Up Tea Pot, and then my colleague asked if his teapot could also be Topped Up. His topped Up Tea Pot duly arrived and we concluded our meal. I approached the Till area and as the Manager approached the Till Area I complimented her on the tasty food we had enjoyed. She totted up the Bill and asked for €34.20. I felt that was incorrect so I challenged it with her. She then pointed out that Tea was charged as an Extra to the price of the Breakfast That meant that I was being charged €11.20 for essentially 4 Tea Bags and a pint of Hot Water!!! I felt that she would reduce this by 2 Teas , but no, she held her ground. At this point, my colleague proffered his Bank Card, and I assured him there was no need as I was in a position to pay the Bill. She asked if I wanted to include a Tip, which I did. I do hope the young waitress receives it. It is customery for years in most Cafe's in Ireland that Tea or Coffee be included in the overall price of the Breakfast, that you would only be charged extra of you ordered a Speciality Coffee like a Cappuccino for example. As we drove away from the Cafe, my friend and I discussed the actual cost for the Breakfast was €17.10 per person. It was the Tea at €11.20 that made the experience expensive and Overall poor value. I found the receipt in my wallet a while ago and I felt I should contact the Owner or Manager to discuss my experience. I outlined the simple facts of the occurrence and her reaction was defensive and rude talking over me as I spoke. It turned out that it was the Manager I dealt with yesterday at the Cash Register and she went on to say ' the sum involved would not break the Bank" She was in no way apologetic that I felt that I had been overcharged. She then asked what she could do "over the phone" . She could have apologized and offered to reimburse me the money, or offer Two teas Free at my next visit. However, she seriously Failed the Customer Service Attitude Test. I won't be troubling her with my business in the future. Before I finished todays telephone call, again I asked what she proposed to do about my Complaint. She made it clear to me that she was not interested in resolving the issue either today over the phone or yesterday at the Cash Register. Sadly, it is this subtle Price Gouging that gives Ireland a bad name as offering poor value for money. Fortunately within 5 minutes of the Garden Cafe there are many pleasant Cafe's where your patronage is valued and you walk away feeling that you got good value for your hard earned money!
