The best restaurantsof irish

06/03/2026: Its not so bad place, isnt it! Said the bar tender. Toptent

04/03/2026: Loved the cosy living room vibe of this place which hits you along with smell of well worn carpet (I know I'm making that sound horrible, it's lovely) and a million and one toasties. Loads of locals sitting deep in coversation, toasty in front of them which is flanked by a pot of mustard and a pint of Guinness, so many locals doing it it was almost like a uniform- love it! Lads behind the bar were stars, real grafters and there's a swagger to how they carry out their work, the less observant would put it down as arrogance when in fact it's just them taking a real pride in their job. Was great watching them work firing out pint after pint. I've given 5 stars for food, I didn't have a toasty but man alive did they smell good! Now I'm back home I'm really regretting not ordering one

04/03/2026: Fresh and hearty. And delicious. Thank you so much!

03/03/2026: Really nice food and attentive waiters.

20/02/2026: Great atmosphere here an iconic pub in cork

08/02/2026: Popped in for a drink and sandwich after hearing great reviews , we were refused service stating we “were after too many” absolutely sober On a Sunday afternoon with shopping bags, all because a man ordered a gin & tonic and not a pint because apparently a sober man never orders a gin as stated by the bar man. Horrified by the way we were treated in our own city. Won’t be returning.

13/01/2026: Genuinely irish vibe cafe. Very friendly. Will definitely visit again.

14/01/2026: Food was delicious and reasonably priced!

13/01/2026: Unreasonably hospitable! The best stay I’ve had in Europe 🤍

13/01/2026: If you find yourself in Doolin this is a great place to stop in for tasty pub food and a pint (or more - but heed the warning on the door). Law enforcement, bring your patches, they are posted throughout from all over the world. Enjoy!

01/01/2026: Beer is good and fries (or chiips)

20/02/2026: Great pint of Guinness before Louth Derby ⚽ .

27/01/2026: From the minute we walked in and got our table the atmosphere was welcoming. Food was great and service was really good. It was actually a really nice enjoyable lunch hour.

06/01/2026: We attended a Hermitage Green concert. The members of staff were fantastic.

06/01/2026: Easily the best run bar and venue in Limerick City. A haven for mature punters who appreciate alternative sounds and laid back atmosphere. I've not tried the food but the menu looks enticing.

08/01/2026: Nancy’s Bar in Ardara is the kind of establishment that captures the soul of Donegal the moment you step through its traditional red doors. This family-run gem manages to feel both like a step back in time and a masterclass in modern hospitality. ​The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the fantastic full selection of oysters. Brimming with the fresh, saline bite of the Atlantic, they were expertly shucked and served with a precision that honors the quality of the local catch. Following this, the open prawn sandwich was a delight generous portions of succulent prawns resting on hearty bread paired perfectly with a bowl of seafood chowder. The chowder was velvety and packed with flavor, avoiding the common pitfall of being overly floury. ​ While the pub's popularity means it can get quite snug and bustling during peak hours potentially leading to a short wait for a table the atmosphere is so authentically warm that you hardly mind. The service is efficient yet retains that genuine Irish charm that makes you feel like a regular. Nancy’s isn't trying to be a polished gastro-pub; it’s a characterful, honest sanctuary for seafood lovers. It remains an essential stop for anyone traveling the Wild Atlantic Way.

05/01/2026: Nancy’s is truly a hidden gem. My partner and I decided to visit Nancy’s on a whim on our road trip. We were delighted to have what we can easily rank the best fish and chips we’ve had. We also tried the Seafood Chowder, which was great. We’ll definitely visit again!

05/02/2026: Probably one of the best burgers and pizzas we've had. Those guys know what they are doing absolutely fantastic place

31/01/2026: The Woodfire is a great place to eat and dine, if you have a hankering for Pizza. Wifey and Hubby went with a couple of friends. And all were happy and full with the menu. Wifey and Hubby Haven't been back for at least 6 odd years. Back then the menu range was bigger and more diverse. Now they are more selective, specialising in pizzas. A decent meal option, which they do very well. Hubby was silly, opting not to pizza, in a place that specializes in oven pizzas. Everyone else did, hubby went with the lamb burger, which was great, but was something he did regret. I like Pizza, I prefer a deep pan style myself, here they prefer the thin crust. but the question hubby asked himself was would I order it for dinner? Still Wifey had the pineapple one, which I had a few slices of. Regardless of the pineapple topping, I cannot fault it in the slightest. The only disappointment with the menu was the lack of desserts or even coffees at the end. We all left full and not wanting more, but I wish there was something available to end the meal. Side note, the chips are good too. Hand cut and homemade. A small decent high quality portion. Either way a great place to eat pizza and wine. Or in Hubby's case IPA, definitely recommend...

15/02/2026: Popped in on a Wednesday night in dark damp January. Nice open fire. Thought the kitchen may be closed but ordered and ate two decent fish and chips. Tartar sauce was a bit weird, sort of a chemical taste but otherwise fine. Guinness was good, and a good price. Look forward to coming back when the place is in full swing.

14/02/2026: It was quite lovely. The music was good The Guinness,a bit sweet. Conversation lively. The bartender lovely and attentive. I wonderful place to round out your evening.

02/03/2026: A pleasant dining room with a fireplace or a view of the moors. Friendly and efficient service. Tasty dishes, generously portioned, at reasonable prices (under €20). Delicious homemade cheesecake for a sweet finish! One of our favorite places during our tour of Ireland.

17/02/2026: Really lovely spot. The owner is so charismatic and friendly, you can tell he really cares about his business. The food was lovely too, very hearty Irish food. Would definitely recommend.

12/09/2025: Ordered a classic Spillane’s burger with the works.. Mar’s burger sauce, bacon, cheese.. SO delicious! 10/10

11/09/2025: I’ve been coming to this place for over 20 years and I’ve been disappointed at how much the food has declined in recent years but went again today just to give it another go. The veggie options were really poor, I was served what seemed like a frozen burger with frozen chips, and then charge €1 extra for a slice of American cheese. It felt like no care or attention went into the food. The people I was with were equally disappointed (they had non-veggie options). Really disappointing experience compared to what this place used to be.
