The best restaurantsof irish

18/04/2026: Food was mainly good (we had Thai curry which was excellent and children's chicken and pasta) but the cheesecake was not at the standard of the rest, it was quite heavy without having much flavour. The service was the main disappointment, the staff just seemed so stressed and too busy to really provide hospitality

13/04/2026: Great food but service could be more professional.

17/04/2026: Great atmosphere inside, perfect place for a few pints with a group for the evening

15/04/2026: It's a great, typical Irish pub with super friendly service, good music, and the burger was amazing! Thanks 🍻 and best regards from Salzburg 🤓🤓🤓

19/04/2026: Beautiful home made food. Authentic Irish cottage

27/03/2026: A really lovely surprise. We’d booked a table on the same night Ireland was playing a World Cup qualifier, so the place was unexpectedly quiet, felt like we had it all to ourselves, which made it even more enjoyable. Service was spot on. The waitress was friendly, attentive, and made everything feel easy without ever hovering. The menu was well put together, enough choice to keep things interesting without being overwhelming, and prices were exactly what you’d hope for. Food-wise, everything delivered. The “Hot & Spicy” wings were a highlight, full of flavour with a kick. The garlic mushrooms might sound simple, but they were done really well, and the homemade mayo was a great touch. But the real star was the homemade raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake… absolutely unreal. Safe to say, we’ll definitely be back 😋

22/03/2026: Very friendly staff, fast and efficent service,no waiting great selection of food, highly recommend,

12/04/2026: 6 of us stopped in for a meal last Wednesday night. Great local restaurant with plenty of well cooked seafood on the menu. The arancini was bursting with flavour and the crab claws were the biggest I’ve seen in years! The restaurant is spotless, warm and welcoming. All the staff were excellent, great to be seeing genuine hospitality that comes naturally on show. Nothing was too much trouble with the service being friendly and professional. Drinks were spot on too!! Thanks to all at the Boathouse, Garry, Gary, Molly - and the rest - we’ll see you again next time!

03/04/2026: Simply the best fish I ever had in my life! Great to see and have a quick discussion with the chef after eating his incredible food. Really one of the best restaurants in Ireland!

22/03/2026: Food was fabulous 😍 staff are great craic and the ambients is spot on

15/03/2026: 4 of us had dinner last nite. Bill was €160+ My prawn cocktail no wheaten bread. My creamy cheesy stuffed chicken not stuffed, with scoop of very bland mashed potato. Fajitas very little portion beef not sizzling. Duck presented on plate on its own with a spoon of gravy. Chicken curry just chicken no onions or mushrooms or anything in it. served with no poppadoms, stated on menu. Had to ask twice for cutlery. And also had to ask if there was any chips or veg or potatoes with the duck. Was asked 'you want some chips n veg' we were all very disappointed and when we spoke to the staff all we were told was ,"sorry about that, only started so I don't know.' We could see into the kitchen and the young staff all seemed to be just on their phones and not bothering about the diners. The duck made us all laugh. A piece of duck on a plate on its own with a spoon of gravy. This is the worst experience we have had at Mccaffertys and we have eaten there before but def won't be back. Staff were lifting salt n pepper cellars from tables while we were still eating. Soooo disappointed.

19/04/2026: Only stopped for dessert but the cheesecake was amazing!

11/04/2026: Amazing all around, definitely recommended!

05/04/2026: 5 stars 🤩 We had a fantastic time. An amazing burger and service that warms your soul… that's what life is all about at Cunningham's Bar 🫶

02/04/2026: Fab, oldy world pub. Food was outstanding 👌

31/03/2026: Stayed and dined at Oar Restaurant and rooms in Doolin on Sunday evening for the fifth time and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The food is amazing and a wonderful dining experience, the Kieran and his team are welcoming, professional and attentive. I have introduced many friends to Oar, and the feedback from everybody has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you Kieran for another wonderful evening.

22/03/2026: Beautiful, relaxing and fantastic food. Staff and Kieran made our stay so memorable. Such a great gem on the wild atlantic way. Good service, great wine selection and a lovely way to spend an evening out.

05/04/2026: Just had such a pleasant stay here over easter weekend! The staff was so friendly and helped us to our room as soon as we arrived. The room was clean and calm (4 person female dorm). The pub was super cute and cozy with live music and a fire place and the communal kitchen was also clean and nice to use. Breakfast was also very nice with gluten free and vegan options. The only bummer was that the hostel is located in a super remote area and the restaurant wasn’t open so getting food was a little difficult since we only had bikes. If you had a car though you’d be totally fine and it was beautiful! The rooms also got a little chilly in the morning.

23/03/2026: Fancy a peaceful stay in a historical home with modern amenities? This is the place for you! My brother and I had the pleasure of staying here on our last evening of a week long road trip before heading back to Dublin. From the minute we entered we were met with warmth from both the fireplace and the reception staff. We received a quick tour of the home and not only were we pleased with the second fireplace in the lounge area but were additionally ecstatic at the pub found in the rear of the house with a pool table and spacious outdoor seating area. Our room was gorgeous and beds super comfortable. Finally, the continental breakfast the next morning was a perfect start to our day. The staff here are very personable and keen to help you during your stay, I was very appreciative of their warm welcome to achill island and their food recommendations for the area. Thank you Valley House team for such a wonderful and memorable stay! I hope to return again someday!

02/04/2026: Great spot ... food is top notch

25/02/2026: Food is always tops here so are the staff and the two lads running the show so helpful they always accommodate us with my dad who has severe dementia

15/03/2026: Had a lovely lunch here. Staff very attentive. Food was great with good portions and caters for children also.

04/03/2026: After a long day of walking along the cliffs of Moher, we decided to pop down to lahinch for a late lunch. Here we stumbled upon Danny Macs. Some of us to the daily special (fish chowder and buttered cod.) while the rest had standard menu options. Overall we where quiet surprised by the quality of the ingredients which was pristine, with the Guinness being quite goof as well. All the fish and meat was of high quality. With ribs that came straight off the bone. Everything severed with generous portions. One place which wasn’t as good was the Chips, which where a little undercooked and lacked that needed crunch. As well as one of us would have preferred more seasoning in the burger and for it to be less simple. Also a little too much salad with each dish.

16/04/2026: Overpriced for what you get but the fish was tasty and staff really nice

14/04/2026: Great food, great value, great service. Recommend!

14/04/2026: Overall a great bar with good food, however I wish the kitchen didn't close before 9pm.

14/04/2026: Everything about The Old Schoolhouse is amazing

12/04/2026: We had a very nice stay for 2 nights. We ate at the restaurant both nights. Food was very good. Joel went out of his way to make sure everything was good for us. We can’t thank him enough for his excellent hospitality.

19/03/2026: Off-street parking. Delicious food, friendly staff, and excellent Americano coffee. We sat in a private booth in a charming pub.
