The best restaurantsof irish

06/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible dining experience at John J. Burke's in Clonbur! The food was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. We had the burgers, which were cooked to perfection and packed with flavour. My daughter had the fish and chips, and she said it was one of the best she's ever had. We couldn't leave without trying dessert, and we're so glad we did! From the rich chocolate brownie to the freshly made cheesecake, everything was homemade and simply delicious. Honestly, it's some of the best food we've had since dining in Michelin-starred restaurants in Abu Dhabi. The quality, freshness, and attention to detail were exceptional. The atmosphere was just as wonderful as the food, with traditional Irish music creating the perfect warm and welcoming setting. A huge compliment to everyone at John J. Burke's. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Clonbur! Thanks again Steven, Alison Willow from Donegal ❤️

07/07/2026: Sofia was amazing and attentive. Excellent food and beer

11/08/2026: We visited The House Restaurant during a day trip to Howth after a colleague of mine recommended it, and I came here with my parents. We arrived around 1:30 pm and the restaurant was already quite busy, but luckily we still managed to get a table without a reservation, although I would definitely recommend booking in advance! We came to Howth hoping to enjoy some authentic, fresh fish, and this was exactly what we were looking for. We had the catch of the day, haddock served fish-and-chips style with tartar sauce and crushed peas. It was absolutely delicious and definitely worth the visit. Even though the restaurant was full, we didn’t have to wait long for our food, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. If you’re visiting Howth and looking for a great place to enjoy fresh, authentic fish, I can definitely recommend stopping by The House Restaurant! 🐟🇮🇪

07/08/2026: Wonderfull place with a variety of great dishes. If you visit Dublin, you should take a stopover in Howth to eat there 😉

19/08/2026: Everything I would want in a pub and dining experience. They introduced me to a local whisky that will make me long for it when I get back to the states. You can’t go wrong here and the staff made me feel like a treasured guest.

16/08/2026: Genuinely one of my favourite pubs in Ireland. Staff are so helpful, the bouncers are great craic and the venue is fantastic. Gigs here are always 10/10, Limerick fans know how to rock 🤘

18/08/2026: Superb whiskey bar. A welcome change from the usual pubs. A huge selection and a very helpful staff. I highly recommend it for the early part of the evening or late evening, as there's no food service.

11/08/2026: Beautiful pub right in the city center with a terrace in front, delicious beer🍻

05/07/2026: I had looked forward to a good steak and nice experience at the restaurant based on most reviews. My spouse and I were disappointed. The chicken wings (Thai chili) were exceptional. Very crispy. The steaks , one a full sirloin and the other a sandwich were a little tough and nothing special. We had to ask for steak knives (which we needed). There were lots of fried onions and musrooms. My dessert, the cheese cake with ice cream and chocolate sauce was very good. There was music ( Sunday evening) which was very good yet it was too loud and make it difficult to talk with table mates. Service was ok, but it is disappointing to have to ask for a steak knife. But it was loud and that made it difficult to talk to the server. I wouldn't put this restaurant on my regular rotation.

05/06/2026: I love this place! The steaks here are some of the best I’ve ever had — juicy, flavorful, and generously sized. For just €29, you get a huge plate with a steak, fried onions, and potatoes. The portion is truly impressive and definitely worth the price. They also have a great selection of cocktails to choose from. The dining area is spacious and has a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves a good steak.

20/08/2026: I came by chance to this pub / restaurant and honestly, the food was worth every penny. The meat is exquisite, as well as the side (home made crispy onions, mushrooms and potato chips). If you wanna have a good piece of beef, you are at the right place.

17/08/2026: We arrived genuinely excited. Beautiful thatched roof, gorgeous from the outside and given the overwhelmingly positive reviews, we were really looking forward to lunch. We walked in to a “Please wait to be seated” sign, behind which were about five members of staff chatting (including two in white shirts, who I can only assume were supervisors or managers). Not one hello, welcome or acknowledgement. Eventually a woman with her back to us grabbed two menus and said she’d seat us. Strange start, but grand. It was Bank Holiday Monday and having worked in hospitality for 10+ years, I completely understand everyone was probably exhausted after a busy weekend. Except… it wasn’t particularly busy. Plenty of empty tables, plenty of staff and nobody appeared under any pressure. The atmosphere wasn't stressed or overwhelmed. It was just strangely indifferent. At one point another customer came in and didn’t walk directly to the “Please wait to be seated” sign. One of the staff in a white shirt joked to the others “I’ll be getting my steps in. Hope they don’t think I’m walking over to them.” That probably sums up how uncomfortable the whole experience felt better than anything else. Then the bruschetta arrived. I genuinely couldn't believe how miserable it looked. I asked my partner whether I should send it back (ordinarily, I absolutely would have). But we'd already been made to feel so uncomfortable and so much like we were inconveniencing the staff simply by being there that neither of us wanted to create another interaction with them. So, in the very Irish tradition of avoiding a scene at all costs, we paid for it instead. And that's probably the most disappointing part. Clearly decent food can leave this kitchen and, with thousands of predominantly positive reviews, obviously plenty of people have had a completely different experience. Ours just wasn't one of them. When a restaurant takes pride in its food and its customers, you feel it. Staff check in, they ask how everything is. And if something poor does leave the kitchen (because bad days happen and mistakes happen) the floor staff are usually the ones who catch it or at least give you the opportunity to say something. Nobody checked how our food was. Nobody asked if we needed anything. The problem wasn't just a bad plate of food, the photo can speak for itself on that one. It was the complete lack of care around it. There seemed to be no standard of hospitality being set on the floor at all and the attitude towards customers felt, at times, genuinely disrespectful. Bad food can leave a kitchen. That's an off day. Making customers feel like they'd rather pay for it than say anything is a hospitality problem. This place missed the mark completely for us and I won't be returning. Beautiful building. Unfortunately, on our visit, the hospitality stopped at the front door.

21/06/2026: To David and The staff at Davitts Guesthouse Kenmare. Myself And my friend stayed for the weekend at Davitts for my best friends Wedding. And from start to finish, we had the most welcoming and friendliest experience. The room was so comfortable and spacious and the breakfast was such a lovely homemade start to our day. We had the pleasure of meeting with David the owner. Such a gentleman. He kindly drove us to Kilarney Train Station to make sure we got the train home safe. We would highly recommend Davitts Guesthouse Kenmare for your Next Stay and ours. Thank You for Everything and we will return soon to the Kingdom 🌟 ☘️ Jennifer Duggan And Kay Moore

15/06/2026: Dogs aren't allowed in the inside bar but they have a good sized beer garden at the back (accessible from the street behind) which is dog friendly. And if you're solo with dogs - as I was - you can order and pay from your table

09/08/2026: We stayed in Galway for about 36 hours and we were looking for the perfect breakfast. We booked a 9:30 AM reservation here and we were greeted by a very friendly staff. The atmosphere is perfect for breakfast or brunch and the menu had great options. The food was excellent.

09/08/2026: It's one of the best breakfasts I've ever eaten. If I ate like this one more time in my life I would qualify for heaven. Alas, I'm leaving before I'll have the chance to do that.

27/06/2026: Fish bones in chowder the place is trying to win an award for….. interesting. Service was awful. Waited almost an hour and 50 minutes and never got our food. Blamed everything on the chef when clearly it was front of house mistake. Go somewhere else.

17/06/2026: I had the oyrsters with the mignoette sauce. It's was blasphemously good, I can see why she'll fish are in the Bible as a sin, because...god dayum!!!

07/08/2026: This is an excellent restaurant. Despite a rather unpreposessing location (looks like it's next to a car park in a shopping centre), the food is of the highest quality, and the service very attentive. The amuses bouches are well executed, and the wine list well thought out (two New Zealand Sauvignons!). We had the scallops and the crab tartlet starters (both very good), and the monkfish & pork belly and hake mains. The monkfish was lovely, the pork belly a bit underwhelming (a la pulled pork) but the hake (not an easy fish to get right) was absolutely perfect. Dessert (salted caramel tart, but more like a pave) was also sublime. Way above expectations.

05/08/2026: Only word to describe this place is PERFECTION

17/08/2026: In 2012. Dropped in one nite, to listen to music. Perfect...no amplifiers....good meal...people spoke quietly, so everyone could hear the music. Asked the bartender who would be playing the next nite. She shrugs and says " Ah, whoever comes ". So we went 2 more nites. The last nite met some people from Ennis, the pub was closing, musicians had left, the guys formed a little circle and started singing then a girl joined them. Great memories. Me from AZ, USA.

16/08/2026: A fun night in Juge 2026, US girls and VIP Johnny

27/08/2026: I attended a party in the marble bar, and it was brilliant service, the atmosphere was great! Danny was impeccable with his service, he ran the bar mainly on his own, and was just brilliant.

26/08/2026: Very good place to eat. Big bar Irish style. I recommend it.

23/08/2026: Best service we've received through Ireland. Delicious food as well!

21/08/2026: Even though we arrived just before the kitchen closed, they welcomed us and found a place for the two of us. The atmosphere is familiar and friendly, and the food is prepared with care and tradition. The meat is excellent, as is the service. Thank you for having us!
