The best restaurantsof irish

20/10/2025: We had a truly memorable evening at Powers Bar in Oughterard! The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, but what really stood out was the delicious dinner and top-notch service. The menu showcases the best of local produce, and the highlight for us was the fresh local fish, cooked to perfection. You can really taste the quality — it’s clear they take pride in supporting local suppliers. The seafood was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and generously portioned. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm — the kind of Irish hospitality that makes you feel right at home. Staff were happy to share recommendations and made sure everything was just right throughout the evening. If you're in Oughterard and looking for a great meal in a relaxed, traditional pub setting, Powers is an absolute must. We'll definitely be back!

17/10/2025: Great buzz and great place for grub or a pint. 👏 brilliant 👏 👌

17/11/2025: Great food. We ate here last year before the rugby. This year we were prepared and booked a table before we went to Aviva stadium for the rugby. Wagyu burger was mouthwatering. Great service, excellent place. We might stay next year?

17/11/2025: Really enjoyed a lovely dinner here. Great service, lovely food, beautiful atmosphere.

04/11/2025: Came here last Christmas with a group and it was fantastic! I’m still thinking about the date sticky toffee pudding a year later🥰

27/10/2025: Fabulous food with great service and a lovely ambiance. The short but inventive menu has something for everyone including an excellent vegetarian option. We will definitely return!

15/11/2025: Myself and my wife dined in the Orchid last night. Stunning food and the service was outstanding. So friendly, polite and helpful.

14/11/2025: Hayfield Manor is an outstanding hotel! The room and grounds were easily as good or better than expected for this price point. The building is historical and charming but with modern conveniences, e.g. heated towel racks and remote controlled AC (yes I needed to cool the room despite being Ireland in November and it was great to have AC). The room was large, the included breakfast was delicious and served by extremely thoughtful servers. By far the best thing about the hotel was the staff! Without a doubt this was the best hotel staff that my wife and I have ever experienced. They did things for us that you wouldn't have asked for but realized you appreciated (got the car in the rain, carried bags whenever they possibly could, etc.). Best of all they found ways to help us without our asking and without our feeling guilty they were doing things for us. Everyone had a real sense of humor which was such a nice change (or maybe they were just trained to laugh at my probably poor "Dad Jokes"), either way it was great. An example of the level of thoughtfulness occurred as we checked out. I told the wonderful young woman at the check out desk that we loved the turn down chocolates (an Irish brand not available in the USA) and that we would like to buy a small bag if possible. She excused herself for a minute and came back with a large box of the chocolates as well as a hotel branded chocolate bar. She wouldn't take money and cheerfully gave us the chocolates! I truly regret that I didn't get her name to call out here, nor did I have Euros on hand to show my appreciation. Her actions made our departure such a wonderful experience. The Hayfield Manor is a "higher end" hotel than we usually stay at but if I am ever back in Cork I will gladly book a stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

09/11/2025: Absolutely marvellous! Full enjoyment and less tourists :)

08/11/2025: Best bangers and mash we’ve had in Ireland our waitress Eloise is the best we will be coming back for sure!!

23/10/2025: Great place very well run food excellent

23/10/2025: Fast, polite, accommodating, and helpful servers, despite the restaurant being very busy! The food and atmosphere were more than adequate.

05/11/2025: Stopped in for a quick drink. loved the outdoor seating. A great place for people watching. service was great too.

05/11/2025: Best pub in Dublin. Heart of the city but still has a great vibe and service that feels authentic. Shoutout to Luke behind the bar.

11/10/2025: Regular - great food, great staff, great location. Try the prawns to start, sole and a NZ Sav Blanc

04/10/2025: Wonderful French restaurant. Attention to detail as we had coffee across the street and could see them cleaning the lampshades! Food fantastic asked for a side green salad received a huge salad with lots of green beans and broccollini. Main - Venison Shank with Blackberry sauce, Dauphin potatoes, dessert Banoffee pie and Raspberry Chocolate Mousse, a bottle if white and 2 glasses each of Armanaq. Worth every penny. Returning for dinner!

11/11/2025: Easily one of the best pubs in the area. The interior doesn’t try to impress with extravagance; instead, it’s honest, warm, and lived-in. What truly sets the place apart is the crowd: people who carry a kind of quiet sincerity that makes a simple evening feel like time well spent.

10/11/2025: Amazing old pub and very good food...the halloumi was great 👌

12/11/2025: Just had lunch here with my siblings. We were looked after by Dylan, Luis, and Niamh, whose service was nothing short of spectacular. The food was delicious and all the staff were in good spirits. We will be back soon!

11/11/2025: The absolute best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The rest of the family love the burgers. It's a treat to drop in for a quick meal. The staff's helpful and friendly. Not a lot of seating, chairs aren't the most comfortable, but the food makes up for it.

30/10/2025: Great pub, we just had drinks on our way to Valentia island. We stop as my mum was a bit car sick, they were very friendly and helpful. The two ladies working gave us amazing recommendations of the local area

24/10/2025: Excellent welcome and local, homemade food

04/11/2025: Excellent food (the VERY best in Ennis! And yes I'vebeen everywherehere aha) excellent service! The featherblade just melts in your mouth! Their steak? Surreal! And their staff always take such great care of us. We've been there 3 times and we'll keep coming back!

24/10/2025: The store owner is very friendly. He cooked the chicken I bought from the supermarket in the oven for me. You can come and eat if you pass by here.

09/11/2025: Good food great for damily meal.

01/11/2025: In a world speeding up with seeming indifference to strangers and travelers on the rise, the Coach House Hotel stands alone in defense of the old ways. People matter here, as you'll be able to tell from the moment you step through their doors. Everything in my room was very clean and comfortable, and every single staff member I encountered went out of their way to make sure everything was taken care with a smile. And the food, well, it was one of the best meals I've had in the whole of Ireland. You can tell a master at work when such seemingly simple ingredients as chicken and potatoes are not only presented so beautifully but clearly cooked with love and attention to detail. I will be going out of my way to come back as often as possible.

18/11/2025: Quality food and excellent service

16/11/2025: BEST DINNER IN KILLARNEY!!! John Cronin has service down to a master class- our server Helen was excellent. Started w/ seafood chowder…..a top 10 for this foodie. Chicken Supreme and Shepherds Pie are comfort food perfection. THIS is a no miss restaurant-

30/10/2025: Went here on recommendation and weren't disappointed. I had the Pork Belly Noodles, my wife had the Monkfish Scampi and my son the Smash Burger. He was mightily impressed with onion ring inside the 🍔. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely go back. Top place.

14/10/2025: Fantastic place! It would have a Bib Gourmand for sure if it was in a metro population area. Bob runs a great shop, Chef is very creative and has a great menu. The cocktails and wine list is top notch. If you are anywhere near the Buncrana/inishowen area, you have to visit this place, I can assure that you won't be disappointed.
