The best restaurantsof irish

07/04/2026: What a find. Service and food quality are tip top. So friendly, informative and caring. The price point is bang on.

06/04/2026: Had a lovely lunch on Easter Monday. Great service with friendly staff. Loved the food and the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and come back again. Also recommend with kids

19/04/2026: Thanks to Marcela for the service and the natural smile and conversation we had :) Thanks a mil to the kitchen guys and bar teams too !

15/04/2026: Wonderful meal here and the service was excellent. It was very quiet when I was here (early evening) but ambience was still good and music was ace. Will revisit soon

04/04/2026: A lovely hotel right in the heart of Waterford city. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

02/04/2026: Lovely hotel, great location, room was perfect and had everything. Every single member of staff were great, with a special mention to Stephen on the residents bar/night porter. Have booked again for another break away.

17/04/2026: I cannot stress this enough - if you are nearby, go here. Everything was incredible. Some of the most delicious food we've ever had. The rump of lamb? Incredible. The almond and jam bakewell? Divine.

28/03/2026: Topnotch sea-bass pea/haddock risotto sublime. A birthday treat. It’s a great place to stop off on the way to Sligo or Mayo.

21/03/2026: We had a great stay here for a week because of work and visiting family. Everything was perfect, from the very comfortable, quiet rooms to the great breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s the perfect setting with a restaurant and bar as part of it, so it was a very enjoyable week and made even better with just a very friendly welcome every morning as if we were family. We’d definitely recommend and we’ll be back here to stay next time in Kilkenny.

23/01/2026: Room is nice, very Comfortable bed. Food was extremely good plus staff servicing the food were excellent and so friendly. Recommend the Orchard House.

17/04/2026: Disappointed with the hot wings. They were full wings and not cooked crispy. IPA Drinks selection is excellent.

05/04/2026: We just stumbled upon this pub and it was the best decision ever! The food was amazing, and the staff were super friendly. We only waited about 5 minutes for a table, but they gave us drinks right away and we were seated before we knew it. I'd totally recommend this place over and over again!

19/03/2026: Visited Lakeside Manor today, lovely location and food was brilliant. Although the place is beautiful the staff lets this place down unfortunately. We had a lovely waiter at the start and then a woman continued the service for the rest of the evening. We asked for drinks, she could not have been any more rude and we felt uncomfortable from her responses. We were given no cutlery or basic condiments. When we asked for some, we were walked away from with no acknowledgement. As people who work in hospitality we thought this response was absurd and it put a damper to our evening. We will still return as it’s a lovely spot and the food is great, however this could be worked on for future reference.

15/03/2026: Nic spot.... Service n staff God, n have the chats. Rooms grand..

24/04/2026: Busy on a Thursday evening but a bargain menu of 20 euro for two courses was still available. I had crispy pork for a starter which was more fat than crisp but tasty enough. Sole in curry sauce with rice was delicious. My companion had the 39 euro steak. To be fair it was a fairly good steak, pepper sauce, chips, two onion rings but there was something sort of bare looking about the plate. Maybe a salad garnish would be nice. With one dessert, a pint, two 00 Peronis and two coffees it came to around 100 euro. Staff were efficient and friendly.

24/04/2026: Happened upon hartes through a recommendation on gluten free app. Beautifully decorated inside. Waiter went through menu with me and explained what I could have. Food was amazing with generous portions and really good service

20/04/2026: Ballymaloe is a magical place. We returned for the fifth time this Easter as part of a big family group. We stayed for three nights. Everything was perfect - the food, the service, the rooms, the grounds. So much goes on behind the scenes to make this place special, it is a truly wonderful experience. Farm to fork, the food here is top class. It’s hard to beat it. My favourite hotel in Ireland. Thank you to all the team in Ballymaloe for creating another special Easter!

21/03/2026: My mother and I treated ourselves to two nights here as we'd visited before and it looked fab. Although the dinner in the restaurant was lovely and the staff were pleasant, our room was another story. Multiple times through email and over the phone we requested twin beds but found of course just a double bed when we arrived. Not a huge problem and it was rectified fairly quickly. But the room itself was very basic and lacking in niceties. No tv (not a problem for me) but to my news addicted mother it was a letdown. Even with the radiator turned off and both windows open at night it was uncomfortably hot and stuffy to sleep in. No tea/coffee making facilities, the radio/sound box thing was broken. On the last morning we found that there was no toilet roll or shower gel left. Luxury hotel? far from it.

18/04/2026: Food exceptional Service excellent Highly recommend

02/04/2026: Absolutely beautiful meal tonight. Great staff and service thank you Mark and Andy.

24/03/2026: Stopped off here before a GAA match and were delighted we did so. Great tasting Sunday dinner, quickly arrived by friendly professional staff. Well done 👏

22/03/2026: Great pint, Delicious food, especially seasonal specials and the best whiskey collection. Highly recommend a visit.

08/04/2026: Great experience in The Red Door. They were brilliant at catering for coeliac requirements, plenty of gluten free options, very knowledgeable about cross contamination etc. All the food was delicious, everyone very friendly, would definitely recommend and will be back!

12/01/2026: I took away their buns, they were excellent

24/04/2026: My favorite place for fish and chips cannot beat it will always come back

24/04/2026: pretty big..lots of seating..live music

24/04/2026: Met fantastic people in the castle... Austrian royalty in the banquet hall😁 such a great story teller for the Irish. Also, Fantastic Man at the fisherman's cottage, great info, and good craic, Thank you to you all❤️

24/04/2026: I went here on a rainy day in April. It was beautiful. The area was surprisingly quiet (probably because of the rain) and much larger than I expected. There is a lot to see. I really enjoyed seeing all the characters dressed up in traditional outfits talking about Irish history. There are lots of shops filled with handmade Irish art and souvenirs. Every room is brimming with culture and whimsy

19/04/2026: Absolutely fantastic, a real treat in every way! We highly recommend it!

16/04/2026: Excellent place! We ate very well: soup, beef in Guinness, chicken curry. Excellent atmosphere. Live music. A must-visit in Galway.
