05/09/2026: Really nice pub with a great selection ton of whiskeys. There is a really nice atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. Toilets are clean too. Some of the tables at the back of the bar are poorly lit.

Saddle Room
Dublin
07/07/2026: We had an incredible dinner at The Saddle Room! After spending 2 weeks traveling in Ireland, we had lots of great food. This meal was definitely the best! Our server Ellen was so sweet and attentive. She gave great recommendations and was very kind to our 1 year old daughter. Highly recommended this place for a fancy dinner.
30/06/2026: The Saddle Room | The Shelbourne Hotel | 27 St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2
If you are searching for the best restaurant in Dublin for a truly special dining experience, The Saddle Room at The Shelbourne Hotel is the answer. We dined here during our stay in Dublin in late June 2026, and this iconic Irish institution delivered a flawless evening from start to finish.
Setting & Atmosphere: The Saddle Room is one of Dublin's most storied and beautiful dining rooms — a masterclass in grand Irish hospitality that balances old-world elegance with warmth and ease. The private golden booths are among the most comfortable and distinctive seating in any restaurant in Ireland, and the open kitchen adds a wonderful theatrical energy to the room. This is fine dining that never feels stiff or pretentious.
The Food: The menu is a celebration of Ireland's finest ingredients, with an expertly curated focus on premium steaks and fresh Irish seafood. The Chateaubriand is extraordinary — melt-in-your-mouth perfection, presented and carved tableside with genuine theatrical flair. The oyster bar features the freshest Irish oysters, and the seafood tower is an absolute showstopper. For lovers of classic preparations, the Beef Wellington carved tableside and the lavish cheese trolley are experiences unto themselves.
Service: The Saddle Room's staff are among the best trained in Dublin — warm on arrival, knowledgeable, gracious, and utterly attentive throughout. The kind of service that reminds you why great hospitality is an art form. Our server guided us through every menu option with genuine expertise and care.
Location: Steps from St. Stephen's Green in the heart of Dublin city centre, The Saddle Room is perfectly positioned for pre-theatre dining, a celebratory dinner, or the best Dublin lunch. Iconic Grafton Street, the National Museum, and Dublin's most celebrated landmarks are all within walking distance.
For the best steakhouse in Dublin, the best seafood restaurant in Dublin, and one of the finest overall dining experiences in Ireland — The Saddle Room at The Shelbourne is the definitive destination.

corbett court
01/09/2026: An absolute jackpot! We stopped by Corbett Court while passing through, and it was the best decision of the day. The food is simply delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The portions are huge – no one leaves this place hungry! The chef makes a brilliant, perfectly cooked sea bass, and the homemade desserts (the bread and butter pudding is pure heaven!) are world-class. On top of that, the cozy interior with a fireplace and the super efficient, smiling staff make it a top-tier experience. Highly recommend to anyone traveling between Cork and Limerick!
29/08/2026: I stopped in to grab a snack for my grand daughter and I after her horse riding lesson . We only wanted a quick toastie and chips but we told that they didn't do that at the weekend. Nowhere on the website did it state this. Disappointing as we didn't want a big meal as it was early afternoon . The restaurant was not busy maybe about 10 people in there at the time at 1.30 pm .

19/08/2026: We had a lovely meal at Feehan’s Bar in Cashel. Everything was excellent, from the delicious food and friendly service to the very reasonable prices. The desserts were especially great! 🍰
It’s also a lovely place to stop for a drink, with a really nice and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.
We’ll be back!
19/08/2026: We had such a great experience at Feehan’s Bar! The atmosphere was fantastic, the drinks were great, and the service was truly outstanding. A special shoutout to Jack, Kean, Mike, Sinead, Nora, and Kara. They were all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and really made our visit memorable.
You can tell they genuinely care about making sure everyone has a great time. We had an amazing time and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend Feehan’s Bar if you’re looking for a fun atmosphere and an awesome team!

The Pepper Pot
Dublin
27/08/2026: A very nice café on the gallery on the first floor. I had the best scone I've had in Ireland, even with clotted cream. Everything was freshly baked!
23/08/2026: Served by a very rude woman who proceeded to mutter under her breath while serving making remarks- generally very rude to both me and my partner.
Location is nice, other staff were lovely.
Would like to think from looking at other reviews that this is a one off.

The Villager
Glassan
14/09/2026: A warm and welcoming place to visit and dine in with friends and family. The staff were very kind and made accomodations for our family after we called ahead. The hake and steak were both brilliant. The restaurant had a generous wine listing as well. The entire place was filled with laughter while we were there.
10/08/2026: Warm and welcoming. Staff were so friendly and helpful. We had an event in the garden room with buffet food, it was perfect

The Druid's Chair
Dublin
22/08/2026: An amazing Pub with a crisp vibe and great staff, same reflected in their Pints and food .
Had Guinness , Fried Scampi and Battered Cod . All three things were grand .
The servers were so polite and responsive , checking in everything couple of minutes .
Will be returning back soon .
20/08/2026: Very cosy friendly pub with a good quality food menu, a bit limited but what they do, they do really well and the ambiance and cosieness make up on top of that. The food is of a very high standard with particular attention to presentation, selection and quality. On a recent visit I had baked cod and chips with salad of rocket, tomato, onion, cucumber, peppers, lemon, tartar sauce and deep fried scampi thrown in for good measure. I've had this meal several times, fantastic value best in the general area at €16.50 as shown. The bar manager and staff particularly attentive and helpful and efficient. Frequently quiet and relaxing, expect it to be maybe busy Friday afternoon / evening with customers coming home from work.

Oar Restaurant
02/05/2026: Tucked into the wild poetry of Ireland’s west coast, this Michelin-starred gem in Doolin delivered a dining experience that felt less like a meal and more like a beautifully choreographed love story.
From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere hummed with quiet elegance, the kind that doesn’t need to announce itself. Then came the venison, and truly, it deserves its own standing ovation. Presented with theatrical grace, it stood poised like a bride beneath a chuppah, a culinary ceremony in full swing. Each bite was rich, tender, and deeply expressive of the land, as though the surrounding hills had whispered their secrets directly into the dish. The asparagus risotto followed, glowing with freshness. It arrived adorned with a delicate bouquet of edible flowers, like spring had decided to dress up for dinner. The flavors were vibrant yet comforting, a perfect balance of earthiness and brightness, each forkful unfolding like a small celebration.
Service throughout the evening was flawless. Not stiff or overly formal, but warm, intuitive, and genuinely joyful. The kind of service that anticipates your needs before you even realize them yourself. And then, just when we thought the evening had reached its peak, it offered us one more unforgettable moment. When we asked about arranging a taxi, the owner himself came over, introduced himself with effortless charm, and insisted on driving us. Not just anywhere, but to catch the Irish sunset melting into the Atlantic beside the Cliffs of Moher. It felt like being handed the final, perfect note of a symphony. Some restaurants serve great food. This one creates memories that linger long after the plates are cleared.
02/05/2026: Fabulous Michelin star restaurant, personnel is amazing food is fantastic and the place, being so tiny makes it very cozy, winter or summer the view is amazing!
