The best restaurantsof irish

15/02/2026: Don't let the atmosphere deceive you, I had the best experience in PHX Bistro. Food was perfectly cooked, full of flavour and delicious. The crème brulee was a little burnt on top but still delicious. Amazing value and great food, with lovely attentive staff. Would definitely recommend.

29/01/2026: Been here several times. Never been disappointed with the food. On our last visit of particular note was the Venison special thanks to chef (Michael I think?). This place is really distinguished by two things, the food and the staff who really care about the food. I always seem to forget to photo the food as when it arrives I am too keen to eat it!

28/01/2026: Came here for lunch on a Sunday after choosing it from random just based off the Menus in the photos on Google. We were seated straight away and catered to very attentively by the owner Ann who we had a great chat with throughout our meal. Food arrived very fast and it was absolutely fantastic in fairness. Top quality wraps made fresh. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

25/01/2026: We were served by the owner Ann, incredibly welcoming and very helpful with the menu. Food was absolutely delicious and served very promptly. Definitely recommend going to this restaurant.

16/03/2026: Best chipper in Ireland. Best fish supper in Ireland.

12/03/2026: The best fish and chips in Cork. And the service... unbeatable. Quick, friendly... Everything spotless... It's worth the queue.

08/03/2026: Excellent pub with excellent food snd service

07/03/2026: A little-known place but one of the best I ate at in Dublin. The food, atmosphere, and everything was excellent, including the prices.

06/02/2026: Forget the overhyped pubs, this one is authentic

06/01/2026: super beamish - great to see younger staff behind the bar - mccurtain street is really buzzing now ✅

27/02/2026: Fantastic meal. I had the crab, mussels and cockles risotto to start, followed by duck with dauphinoise potato and celeriac, with rhubarb crumble to finish. Each course consisted of a wealth of different flavours. Good service too.

19/02/2026: Three of us visited mid week for a three course set menu. We shared some additional sides and a couple of bottles of wine. I don't recall exactly what we paid but it seemed very reasonable considering the quality of the food . The cadence of the service was perfect. Hosts were friendly and informative. We lingered and at no point did we feel rushed... Definitely will return. Oh and the duck was excellent. Loved the turnips .

22/02/2026: The service is excellent, the hotel is spotlessly clean and the food amd cocktails were lovely.

22/02/2026: Great experience. We love staying here. One thing though, my car was badly damaged in the carpark. Not sure if there's CCTV in that area but would be great to find out how & when it happened.

14/03/2026: Try the house special with a pint of Guinness to end your day around the neighborhood. The restaurant is on the second floor, chill and good music selection. Nice and friendly staff. Wonderful establishment

05/03/2026: Service was really nice. The Wings and the gbc Fries were Amazing! Would recommend this Place and time. Got an awesome advice about the pubs here. Thanks so much!

09/09/2025: The Skeff is part of the The Skeffington Arms Hotel. Food was very good. The Seafood Chowder and a couple of (non!) Stout beers from other parts of Ireland were a welcomed change of pace. IPA's, actually. One from Letterkenny, and the other from Kill, County Kildare. Other than the service being just a tad slow, it was (overall) very good. And the live music was magical this night. Okay...Not exactly magical, but covers from bands/artists that everyone knows, sung by a group of a youngish band of 3 called The Groev. They did a great job, actually.

09/09/2025: Authentic pub with fantastic food! Service was rather mediocre.

18/12/2025: Lovely food and service. Will definitely return.

03/12/2025: Best fish and chips I've had in Ireland! Ordered fried calamari and they were deilicious and the sauce was amazing as well. Hats off to Steven who took spécial care of me and was extremely nice

06/02/2026: Excellent food. Exceptional customer service. Brilliant atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit 👍🏻👍🏻

15/01/2026: Food is fantastic every time we visit 😋

12/03/2026: Great food and service always good

18/02/2026: Our dining experience was made truly exceptional thanks to our server, Nick. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with a warm smile and a friendly attitude that instantly made us feel welcome. It was clear right away that he cared about doing his job well and making sure everyone had an enjoyable time. Nick was extremely attentive throughout the entire meal. He took our orders carefully, answered all of our questions with confidence, and gave helpful recommendations when we were unsure what to choose. His knowledge of the menu showed professionalism, and his patience showed genuine kindness. Even when the restaurant became busy, he remained calm and efficient, never making us feel rushed or forgotten. What really stood out about Nick was his positive energy. He checked in on us regularly to make sure everything was okay, and when there was a small delay with one of our dishes, he handled it quickly and politely. His sense of humour and friendly conversation added to the atmosphere and made the experience more personal rather than just another meal out. Overall, Nick turned a normal visit into a memorable one. His excellent customer service, cheerful personality, and dedication to his role made a big difference in how much we enjoyed our time. A great server can define a restaurant experience, and Nick certainly did that for us. He deserves recognition for his hard work and the outstanding service he provided.

02/02/2026: Drew White visited here January 2026

01/02/2026: This is a lovely pub and great atmosphere However the food wasn’t great, my advice would be to shorten the menu and focus on the quality

15/12/2025: Stopped off for lunch. Fresh food, excellent service. Very reasonable price.

23/11/2025: Service was really disappointing. Emily (in a tight blue blouse and blonde hair) rushed us, spoke sharply, and then handed me a container to pack my own main, when I asked can I take it home. which felt downright rude and unprofessional. Definitely not the level of service I expected. Do better.

02/03/2026: This place, as well as: The Railwalk, The Clock Tower, Westport Golf Club AND Westport Station are ALL on my to do list :) Lots of folks in my bloodline are from County Mayo😌

01/03/2026: Lovely walks around the grounds.
