The best restaurantsof irish

02/04/2026: Cozy, friendly. Sat next to the fireplace. Plenty of vegan options. The soup of the day was delicious. Interior is classy yet laid back. Lots of music ephemera on the walls. Had an early weeknight dinner, so it was quiet and not busy.

02/04/2026: Cozy place, comfortable. delicious food and attentive service. Delightful!

24/04/2026: A beautiful classy restaurant. Never fails to impress. Love it here Well done Robert. Peter and staff...

23/04/2026: Excellent food and very professional service

13/04/2026: I got a last minute cancellation on Sunday and had a great value 3 course lunch - €45. Every dish was so tasty and well presented. The beetroot salad was really nicely presented, the Hake was so fresh and cooked perfectly with a very interesting sauce. I won't leave it so long to ho back again.

12/04/2026: Good restaurant for dinner. Michelin Guide

10/04/2026: We arrived here after a trip to the Arran Islands. famed for their fish and chips they certainly didn’t disappoint !

08/04/2026: Just had a pint of guiness while listening to the 4 person traditional Irish band. I could have stayed all night. Great spot!

15/04/2026: Good gluten free options in a town where it is a little trickier to get a GF meal. V helpful staff, cute decor, and a damn good lamb dinner! Glad to report that thatch cottages are much cosier, warmer & dryer on the inside than they look from the outside, too.

14/04/2026: Best food I've had here in Ireland. Service was fantastic.

10/04/2026: Great food, but better service. They really made you fell welcomed as a staff. They dod not treat you like tourist. They treated you like you come there all the time to eat and drink. They made room for us at the bar and then moved us to a table once one freed up. It was busy.

09/04/2026: Packed and tough to get a seat, but the beer flowed constantly, the fish and chips is some of the best in the world, and live music was spot on. One of my favorite places in Dublin

02/05/2026: First pint of our Ireland trip. Best pub atmosphere of the trip!

01/05/2026: This pub is a real gem. It came highly recommended by a few Irish colleagues, so we stopped in for a couple of pints before dinner and were glad we did. From the moment you walk in, it feels different from your typical pub. The staff greeted us right away, helped us find stools, and even seated us at a shared table with other patrons before taking our order. Friendly and welcoming from the start. The place is full of character. There’s local artwork on the walls (some available to buy), a beautiful stained glass feature, and even carpet that somehow feels clean and well kept. No loud music either, which makes it easy to have a proper conversation. The Guinness was excellent, easily one of the best I’ve had in over 15 years of visiting Dublin. They also serve great toasties, and it’s clear this is a spot locals genuinely enjoy. Authentic, relaxed, and full of charm. I only wish I’d discovered it sooner. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Dublin.

08/05/2026: The restaurant is conveniently located beside a parking area, making it extremely accessible and eliminating the difficulty of finding street parking. It is less than a three-minute walk from the parking lot, which added to the overall convenience of the experience. Most importantly, this was genuinely one of the finest dining experiences I have had in my life. My mother and I visited while on vacation to celebrate her birthday after the restaurant was highly recommended by our Airbnb hosts, and it exceeded every expectation. I ordered the duck, while my mother chose the chicken, and both dishes were exceptional. In nearly 40 years of travel and dining experiences, I can confidently say the quality of both the food and service ranks among the very best I have encountered. Although I was unaware that reservations were required, the staff graciously accommodated us despite my oversight. Their professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness made the evening especially memorable. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, with food that was both refined and comforting. The desserts were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, and the wine selection was outstanding. From the cuisine to the hospitality, every aspect of the experience was exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area. Thank you to the entire staff for providing such a memorable evening — it was truly appreciated.

30/03/2026: Made reservation online to have dinner here. They require a card and will charge a fee for cancellations. Service in the restaurant was excellent. They brought us to our table immediately, offered to store our coats, served water immediately. After we ordered food, we were served some canapés which were delicious. We ordered crispy fishcakes to share, duck breast and the slow cooked beef cheek bourguigion. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. 💯

05/04/2026: Top marks all round as always. Food was so tasty. Veggie options fabulous and meat eaters very happy too. I love the atmosphere and staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

04/04/2026: Fabulous meal start to finish. Had the value meal 3 courses €50, delicious,staff were lovely

20/04/2026: Exceptional experience. Great food, great staff and great to see an owner operated, family run business doing well.

15/04/2026: We barely had time to blink before the food landed on the table. Impressive speed, less impressive freshness. The lasagne was sweet enough to qualify as dessert, only smaller and somehow sadder. The lamb? Let’s just say it had clearly been through a long day. Upstairs had all the charm of a workplace canteen, and the whole place felt like a “eat fast, make room” operation for the next wave of tourists. Safe to say, I wont be returning, feels less like dining out and more like being processed.

03/09/2025: Best seafood, great atmosphere, well worth a visit.

27/08/2025: Fabulous place, not to be missed. Ideal for overnight stay and food. Very reasonable prices. Great service and knowledgeable, helpful, efficient staff. Well done all, at Helen's, Kilmakillogue.

03/01/2026: Great old Dublin pub, a must visit when in Dublin. Great atmosphere, excellent service and nice food at very good prices

01/01/2026: Nice bar with authentic old school features. Appreciated the lack of TV's and music. The Bar staff were indifferent at best and the vitamin G was just fine but not outstanding. Kitchen was closed so could not try the food, chef apparently is in "rehab"!

04/05/2026: Beautiful atmosphere and great service. The fish and chips did not disappoint. Stunning presentation.

03/05/2026: Small place but outstanding food. Easy to walk to.

14/04/2026: Absolutely a great place to stay for Kenmare and start of Ring of Kerry - service outstanding, whole place well appointed , huge breakfasts too

13/04/2026: My partner and I stayed at Davitts for two nights recently and could not have had a more pleasant experience. The room was spotless and very spacious with a great shower! Food was excellent especially the breakfast, highly recommend the porridge! The staff were all very welcoming to us, especially David who was very friendly and we had great chats with. The location is perfect nestled right in the middle of town with plenty of options for food and bars around. Could not recommend Davitts more, we will definitely be recurring visitors.

17/04/2026: The best rhubarb crumble I've ever had! I've been here a few times and have never had a bad experience, food is delicious, staff are friendly, would highly recommend!

15/04/2026: Was there on Saturdays night 11th good food good beer and a nice lady from Dublin behind the bar what a night thanks 😊
