The best restaurantsof irish

11/03/2026: Yesterday we went for dinner at Old Street in Malahide and had a truly wonderful experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful, but what made the evening especially memorable was the outstanding service from our waiter, Dawid. He was attentive, friendly and made us feel very welcome throughout the entire meal. The starters were excellent, the tomahawk steak for the main course was incredibly flavourful, and the dessert was also delicious. Everything was perfectly prepared and the service made the evening even more enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a fantastic dinner and for the exceptional service.

08/03/2026: Me and my friends (group of 10) had a table booked for 2 hour slot. We waited for main course long and then were rushed with dessert. We were asked to leave exctly after 120 minutes despite the restaurant having plenty of free tables. I ended up eating my dessert standing while friends were puting on jackets in rush. We were not given chance to finish wine, so we had to leave full glasses on the table. Very unpleasant experience. I definitely don't recommend this place!

24/02/2026: Nice country pub atmosphere with a fire lite stove. The service was professional. I ordered a steak which was overcooked first and was taken back, then it was undercooked on the second attempt. I ended up getting a burger and chips which I wasn’t charged for which I felt was the good way of dealing with the situation.

21/02/2026: Amazing food and lovely place!!

09/02/2026: Food and pints are top notch and the staff are amazing.

Very friendly and service a bit slow .but not there fault .soup and sandwiches were on point. I hopefully will be back under different conditions. But over all lovely..

03/02/2026: The food goes from good to decent depending on what you order. In general, this is a very warm / cozy pub with great atmosphere and live music on weekends. The staff are also polite and friendly.

23/01/2026: Food was delicious, staff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was quiet but nice.

09/11/2025: Very friendly staff, exceptional food

09/09/2025: Best steak. Great price. Friendly staff

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.

20/02/2026: Beautiful authentic pub. Great food, great service!

10/02/2026: Great pub and atmosphere plus Younger was filmed here the programme on Netflix. Small world 🌎

20/11/2025: Had lunch. Chowder was watery Fish special on chorizo and bean in tomato base isn't nice. Why not keep it simple. I seems like a pretentious effort to be different for the sake of being different. Dinner cold apart from fish. Again why watery chowder instead of the expected normal creamy version. Maybe call this out on the menu. Offer what the majority will enjoy and not the few.

16/11/2025: Service was extremely mediocre and portion sizes were a joke.

24/02/2026: Exceeded our expectations , staff very good and the food is lovely . Was a family reunion type trip and it was everything and more than once could hope for .

21/02/2026: A hotel with such a history that should and DOES know a thing or two about great old fashioned accommodation and service. Room was huge and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Nice to note that room safes would be overkill! I had the most succulent mouthwatering turkey and ham main for dinner, only problem was there were too many other customers there soI couldn't lick the plate😜 Breakfast service from 7:30 am, excellent with buffet and table service. Two perfectly cooked poached eggs for me. Thank you. Secure and free parking at rear by the side of the beautiful Ilen. What more can you ask for?

31/12/2025: Amazing food and always great service my partner and I love this restaurant it's our favourite place in Cork.

16/11/2025: Like the menu and big portions. Cheesecake is the best.

29/12/2025: Food was good and staff was friendly. The only issue was an unannounced service charge of 12%. I would pay it happily if I knew about this from the beginning not until when they bring the bill.

15/12/2025: Very nice place. Good food and friendly service. Worth a return visit.

04/03/2026: Loved this cocktail bar, definitely be back here. Since it's only 6 door away from me

02/03/2026: We went for a group lunch and it was just great, food was super delicious and service was very attentive. Highly recommend

20/02/2026: Fantastic I went here for dinner with my partner for valentine's meals. Service is brialliant and food was amazing

19/02/2026: Fantastic experience. The steaks were perfect and the staff were so friendly, smiley, and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere! Feels like a true local pub, not touristy, and a place that really looks after its customers. Would definitely recommend! Thank you 😊

31/01/2026: My mum and I happened upon this lovely restaurant by chance and were so delighted with the experience - the food was exquisite and the staff were lovely! Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone

02/09/2025: Lovely evening meal Chicken wings starter tasty hot sauce Mains pork and solely delicious Desert baked alaska home made delicious

07/03/2026: On Friday evening, we walked into McCafferty's without a reservation, expecting it to be full. To our surprise, they managed to find us a table, which immediately made a great first impression. The pub exudes exactly the atmosphere you'd hope for in an Irish pub: warm, cozy, and lively without feeling overcrowded or chaotic. We had a delicious meal there, and the value for money was excellent. Just honest pub food, well-prepared, and reasonably priced. All in all, it was a very successful evening for us. It's a place where you immediately feel welcome, and one we'd definitely return to on our next visit to Dublin.

07/03/2026: I was outside the pub with friends and went inside just to buy drinks and food, something I have done many times before since I’m a regular customer. However, today (March 7th around 5:40 pm) the security guard refused to let me in. He assumed that I wanted to use the bathroom, which was not the case at all. I never even mentioned the bathroom I simply wanted to go in to buy a drink and some food. The way I was treated made me feel embarrassed and humiliated, especially because I come to this pub quite often. I have always had a good impression of the place, but this situation was very disappointing. I hope management reviews how customers are treated in situations like this.
