The best restaurantsof irish

25/08/2025: Loved both the Lake Hotel and Lakeside Bistro. The location provides amazing views of Killarney mountains and lakes! Service staff was amazing! We had some jet lag the found us awake at midnight. The serving crew, cleaning up the day’s service stopped to makes us a fresh coffee and real cream tray to take back to our room! The food was great and the bar atmosphere was cozy. Only wish the actual bar, itself, held more seats. The room was spacious with great views! Highly recommend it!!

05/07/2025: Really enjoyed our meal. Everything was plated well and was delicious. Dessert was impressive. My wife ordered the tiramisu and I had the pannacotta. Highly recommend both. And you can’t beat the view!

21/02/2026: Food, service and vibes are top notch. Love the their classic burger. Recommend anyone to book and pop by

06/02/2026: Outstanding meal in Bar One. I had the beef short rib and it was absolutely superb, beautifully tender, packed with flavour, and clearly cooked with real care. Comfort food done properly, using quality ingredients and executed at a very high level. You can feel the experience and pride behind the food here, and the service matches it. A brilliant spot that consistently delivers. I’ll be back.

19/12/2025: Love this little hidden café near the Four Courts. Great coffee paired with genuinely friendly, efficient service. It’s a popular spot with the legal crowd, and it’s easy to see why — smooth, high-quality coffee, a lovely selection of pastries and light lunch options, and very reasonable prices. The space is airy and welcoming, with a charming nod to the building’s history (look for the old Medical Mission sign). A small place but well worth seeking out. ❤️🫶🏿

07/11/2025: Good food and fantastic coffee, values for money.

23/02/2026: Try the buffalo chicken wings,top class

12/02/2026: Lovely bar, nice staff and very accommodating

11/04/2026: Lovely experience from start to finish. Great atmosphere, amazing food and great service! Dawid topped the experience with brilliant customer service which was much appreciated. Will come back. Highly recommended.

10/04/2026: Incredible food, I went during Easter and their set menu was fantastic. What makes it stand out is the level of personal service. Was a fantastic experience overall!

07/04/2026: Always nice to eat here. Especially on a Sunday or match night.

17/03/2026: Very nice place. The food is delicious and the portions are large. The service is friendly and helpful.

26/03/2026: A standout vegan dining experience at Everett's. We reserved a 3-course vegan menu a day in advance and were impressed by how smoothly everything was handled—from prompt email confirmation to accommodating our request for a high chair and space for a stroller in a cozy setting. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Drinks arrived quickly (the Irish Old Fashioned is excellent), and every vegan dish was thoughtful, creative, and clearly made with care—far from the uninspired options vegans often encounter. What really stood out was the effort to include vegan guests in a true fine-dining experience. It felt considerate on a human level, not just a menu checkbox. If you’re vegan and comfortable dining at an omnivore restaurant, this is absolutely worth going out of your way for.

15/03/2026: Food was great, service generally great and staff very polite but used side plates were left blocking up the table and water wasn’t refilled without asking /coats weren’t taken etc.. small things that didn’t detract from a great meal overall. Could do with turning up the heating a little!

16/04/2026: When the first excise cut came in they increased diesel price by 5 cent in the afternoon before the midnight change. Their fuel has been 2 15 for the last while today 2 10 they put their diesel up by 5 cent halving the benefit of the new 10 cent excise cut.

25/01/2026: Fair fuel prices, deli, coffee from a machine or barista and a bottle return that rarely has queues.

24/02/2026: Really nice hotel to explore the local area from. Friendly staff and plenty of nice places to eat and drink in the local village.

06/02/2026: A really great hotel. Excellent staff and quality food. Would definitely recommend.

24/02/2026: Quiet and relaxed. Very professional and a well run service. Food exactly as ordered and the chef should take a bow, very good. Desert should come with a government health warning, but you would die happy. After a few weeks in the gym, I'll look forward to the next one. Highly recommend a visit.

31/12/2025: The restaurant has a traditional atmosphere, beautiful and cozy. The food is delicious. I ordered the slow-cooked beef. It was delicious.

16/04/2026: Hand-cut, chunky, and seasoned perfectly. They were fluffy on the inside and had that golden crunch on the outside. Super fresh oysters with price on point!

15/04/2026: Great fish and chips, fast service, good prices and very nice location! Worth multiple visits!

31/03/2026: What a fantastic bar in Kilkenny. We had an area booked for 15 of us and had a great time with a great musician on stage and was able to get served at the bar easily even though the bar was very busy. The bar was welcoming and the staff great.

31/03/2026: Amazing cocktail making class and lovely barmen

25/02/2026: I had an overnight stay with my best friend in the most miserable February weather for decades. To say the quality of the stay was diametrically opposed to the filth of the weather is a practically criminal understatement. From the moment we got to reception to the minute we left we were minded like babies. We had lunch in the bar - a ham and cheese toastie of gourmet standard, with the most perfect chips I’ve ever tasted. Even the garnish (leafy greens with slivers of roasted peppers and home pickled red onions, all completely seasoned and properly dressed) was delicious. We washed it down with a chilled glass of Snare Point and a very welcome sense of decompression. The barman served us with humour and very professional attention. Our room was absolutely gorgeous. Floral maximalism in design, with dual aspect windows and a lovely en suite. In terms of cleanliness - it was flawless (I checked the skirting board for dust!). We had more wine, chats and watched the latest episode of RHOBH (no shade please). I had a long shower, with Voya (my favourite) products and drank more wine and put on my face in my plentiful fluffy bath sheet. Dinner was perfect. Bread (with butter and a lovely peppery EVOO) an amuse bouche of seafood bisque, ham hock terrine, roasted salmon with velvety mash and creamy leeks. I had no room for dessert. We went back to the room for face masks, wine, telly and gossip. I slept like an innocent on a heavenly bed with crisp sheets and pair of feather pillows. Breakfast was had in room (pure luxury compared to normal life) and it was hot, tasty and came with loads of coffee. After a nap, another epic shower and with a heavy heart we went to check out. Part of our package included coffee and scones, which we had forgotten. The lovely receptionist (Carmel, I think) reminded us and set us up in the bar. Homemade, warm scones with homemade jam and whipped cream and coffee were the most perfect way to end our stay. I expect quality when I book a hotel that features in Ireland’s Blue Book, but the Station House Hotel is more than quality. Details are everything for me and from the chocolates, water and Voya pillow spray in the room, the many umbrellas at reception, the water with ice and lemon at lunch that was brought to us without having to ask, to the fact that all of the food was perfectly seasoned, it’s clear that details matter to all at the Station House Hotel too. Probably because it is family owned and run by a woman who has (I suspect) even higher standards than I; and because the staff all genuinely care that you have a perfect time (delivered with tons of warm personality instead of that soulless, corporate deference you get in big 5 star hotels), this hotel is in a class of its own.

13/02/2026: Beautiful setting, lovely friendly staff, very relaxing excellent food

10/04/2026: A typical Irish restaurant with classic beef dishes, as well as pasta and burgers. Good service. Prices are reasonable for Irish cuisine (main courses range from €18 to €22). The beef stew with Guinness is highly recommended. A pint of Guinness is €7.

31/03/2026: Definitely a place to go when in Westport food is tasty and service was great

14/03/2026: Food and service is always fantastic!

13/03/2026: My local, busy pub, decent staff, I marked a star off for the lack of windows, also my kids are coeliac and they weren't very helpful with this unlike other pubs in the area where they would at least be able to fry some chips or something for them.
