The best restaurantsof irish

15/04/2026: Fantastic night out for our 25th anniversary. Service was amazing , they take your coats and make you feel that you are there priority. It.was a Tuesday so fairly quiet but not really surprising with having all the bus and stopparges going on . I could at least talk to my husband without it been to noisy. The food was very good , we had venison cargars then I had Salmon with a lovely sauce and broccoli My husband got the lamb, he said it was delicious. For dessert I got the creme brulee and my husband got Pavlova ( more meringue than Pav ). We also had a lovely bottle of wine from NZ (Hunter Malborough wine. ) Service was second to none ,not one complaint. They even gave us a plate of delectable desserts with Haapy anniversary on the plate. A very thoughtful touch. I recommend the Shelbourne saddle room for an experience you won't regret. Thank you for the young man who served us . Debbie & Breandan

10/04/2026: We had our wedding here in October and had the most amazing day. The food was absolutely outstanding and all the staff so professional, they really made our day. We would like to thank all the staff who made our day so special.

22/07/2026: The Seabass was lovely. Good portion sizes. Staff were great. Kids friendly restaurant. One of the best meals I had in Wextord. Highly recommend.

10/07/2026: Disappointing experience and rigid substitution policy Visited the restaurant at the Dunbrody Famine Ship Experience this morning. Since a full breakfast was too substantial, my companion and I both ordered the mini Irish breakfast. As I do not eat black or white pudding, I politely asked the waiter if the pudding could be substituted for either an extra sausage or an egg. I was informed that any substitution whatsoever required purchasing a "custom" breakfast, which is significantly more expensive. The server noted that management policy strictly forbids altering the standard menu items, and no manager was on-site to speak with. Ultimately, my breakfast arrived with the puddings removed as requested, but with no replacement component to balance the plate (as seen in the photo). We paid nearly €26 for two mini breakfasts. The experience left a poor impression. While the location is lovely, the food service feels geared toward a captive tourist market with an incredibly rigid approach to basic hospitality. A little flexibility regarding minor ingredient swaps would go a long way toward reflecting true Irish hospitality. I hope management considers a more guest-friendly approach in the future.

13/07/2026: Great pub awesome food value for money and amazing service. Anna was awesome and thanks for the conversation!!! Had New Zealand wine as well!!!

11/07/2026: Went there spontaneously on my own. We quickly got a table to eat, as there was live music outside. They offered us a complimentary bottle of still water, as a matter of course. The seafood pie was really good. We also had a small cider. Despite some minor language difficulties, the staff were incredibly friendly, patient, and attentive. Then we went outside with a whisky to enjoy the live music. The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was free. The selection of whiskies and gins at the bar was excellent. All in all, highly recommended.

27/07/2026: An institution of Temple bar, a must visit location for at least one pint of black 😎🎶👍

26/07/2026: After a few drinks in the noisy but cozy bar with live music, we went to the restaurant upstairs. There was live music there too. Very nice and atmospheric, but much too loud. Too loud to understand each other during the meal. The waiter was understanding and turned down the volume and showed us to a spot in the smoking area, where it was indeed wonderfully quiet, but of course not a good solution. In the end, we stayed and had a pretty good meal.

19/07/2026: Its a lovely pub the staff could not be more friendly and helpful. The food is outstanding

08/05/2026: I met a guy here who was not shy about telling me how little he liked one of the other customers

01/05/2026: Genuinely old school pub. Pints of stout are also pure cream

12/06/2026: Great place for a coffee. Excellent value. Plenty of seating and parking.

11/07/2026: The food at Hargadon Bros was genuinely delicious. I had the fish and chips and my girlfriend had the burger with avocado, and we’d have no complaints on that front. Unfortunately, the service let the experience down. We were seated in a nook to the left of the room, which was cosy enough but seemed to leave us invisible to the staff, and getting attention took real effort throughout the evening. The low point was dessert: after flagging down a waitress, we ordered and were brought two spoons - but the dessert itself never came. After waiting 20 minutes, I gave up and went looking for someone to bring the bill instead. A waiter did notice the spoons on our table and asked if we’d ordered dessert, but by then we no longer wanted it. Lovely food, but the service needs attention - especially for tables tucked out of sight.

07/07/2026: We arrived naively on a Saturday night when they were very busy and we could not get a table. Most places would say no and that be it. But the extremely nice hostess walked us outside and gave us great recommendations for other places to try. She took the time and effort even thought they were busy inside. You can best believe that we will be coming back here on our next trip and will remember to make a booking here due to their super nice staff and because the food smelled amazing!
