The best restaurantsof irish

25/08/2026: Great atmosphere. Good beers. Food looked great. We will be back

19/08/2026: Great music most nights. Delicious fresh sea food.

24/08/2026: DO NOT order the brownie dessert. It will ruin your wife’s expectations on brownies for the rest of her life. All other brownies will fall short. It was incredible.

24/08/2026: A secretive waiter who let us speak our best in English only to tell us he was Mauritian and spoke French. Very attentive to our requests, so we had a pint to finish.

14/08/2026: Everything about this restaurant was absolutely great! The girl serving us was so lovely and friendly. The chicken curry we delicious. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone! The music was relaxing and the design of the restaurant was beautiful.

09/08/2026: I was there a few weeks ago and I had a lovely meal. The staff were really lovely, especially our waitress Leah. I would recommend the restaurant to everyone

18/03/2026: My wife and I had a great meal here while visiting Dublin. The celeriac salad was especially delicious. Great atmosphere and location as well.

18/03/2026: Lovely calm cozy vibe with good Guinness on tap!

28/05/2026: Visited with my family for food and drinks only, not the hotel stay. The location and views are absolutely beautiful — on a sunny day it genuinely felt more like being somewhere in Spain than Ireland. The atmosphere and seaside setting are definitely the highlight of this place. Unfortunately, the food and service did not match the location. The prices were quite high for the quality received — for example, the fish of the day with chips was €23 and quite disappointing. We also had to ask twice for additional drinks and the order was still ignored, which made the experience frustrating. Overall, a lovely place for the views and atmosphere, but the food and service need improvement.

18/05/2026: Right by the sea. Excellent breakfast spot.Very accomodating staff.

10/09/2026: Had the full Irish... Fantastic tasty breakfast and nice service...

14/08/2026: Wondeful cafe with delicious food and brilliant staff. Will be back

23/06/2026: Such a disappointing experience with this hotel. Coming from abroad, my brother booked this hotel in error, picking the incorrect county. The booking was made and cancelled on the same date via PayPal. On contacting PayPal they kindly advised that they would do all that they could to help ensure a positive outcome to this issue, following the necessary cancellation, but that it was at the discretion of the hotel. We also helped from our side, and contacted the hotel out of courtesy, and despite the refund being at their discretion they advised that it is their policy not to give refunds to customers during the peak season. This is an incredibly poor way to treat visitors to the country. Mistakes can easily be made particularly when travelling, some common sense and understanding is key when in business. Our family will certainly not be rebooking at this hotel - terrible experience.

16/05/2026: This is a wonderful hotel in a quiet picturesque location s minutes drive from Killarney and the Ring of Kerry. The main building dates from the 1840s and was the priory (I believe) for the beautiful church across the road. We stayed 2 nights in a spacious and spotless room in the new wing behind the main building. The superb staff was extremely professional and attentive - perhaps the best I've ever experienced.

01/09/2026: Dined here in mid July and they looked after me well on my birthday. Very strong wine pairing. Food all lovely.

22/08/2026: Amazing experience. 100% recommended 👌🏾

20/07/2026: Appalling service. Average food. Would never go again.

20/07/2026: It's a cute place, but our waiter took a very long time to come up to us. We came in when there were 3 groups other than us, so it could not be that the place was busy. She just avoided us for no reason. She then had trouble hearing us (despite it being very quiet) and each of us had to repeat our order several times. Our food took an extremely long time to come and arrived cold, bland, and badly made. I ordered calamari and received rubbery at best, mostly shriveled, calamari inside over fried and overly oily batter. Not a speck of the promised seasoning was on it. One of our party ordered mashed potatoes and received fries instead too. We ordered 6 oysters as well and got only 2 of them. Overall a very disappointing experience, and I think we were right to leave no tip.

16/09/2026: Needed to book for 10 people and couldn't do it via the website as too many people. Rang and got a bot who accepted my booking. Didn't receive confirmation text sio rang again and got a real person! My booking wasn't in the system and they couldn't give me a table!

31/08/2026: Amazing food, served promptly. Staff were exceptional, we were late arriving due to an accident on the motorway, not a problem, staff held our table and didn't rush us into ordering. Augusto was friendly, chatty and explained the specials to us and was very kind and helpful to the little lad in our company. Prices were good and we'll definitely be back.

01/07/2026: Haven't stayed here but lovely place for a meal or a drink after a hike . wonderful setting and friendly and helpful staff

08/06/2026: Absolutely the best pork chop I’ve had in my life. I will never forget it—I closed my eyes for most bites so I could savor it. We asked for a recommendation for dessert and it was ridiculously amazing. The flavors were incredible. The chocolate was so rich it was plenty for four of us to split since we all were full from our incredible meals. Others in our party got a fish entree they loved and the sauce that it came in was so fantastic they used the extra bread to finish it off! 10/10 We will be back next year. (Thanks for telling us about Kai, Kelly!)

06/06/2026: We had a very odd experience here. We came during our honeymoon after several people recommended we visit while in Galway, but from the moment we arrived, the service felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming. We arrived at 6:04 p.m. for our 6:00 p.m. reservation, and from the initial interaction with the host/server, we felt as though we were somehow in trouble. After reading other reviews, it seems that unfriendly service may not be an isolated issue. I’ve have never left a negative restaurant review before, but our experience warranted one. A couple seated next to us, who arrived after we did, received their meals significantly sooner than we did. In fact, they had already finished their mains and were ordering dessert before our entrees even arrived. I ordered the steak, which was served with a single slice of tomato on top. The couple next to us ordered the same dish, and theirs came with multiple slices of tomato as an accompaniment. I understand that presentation can vary, but the difference between one slice and several seemed unusually inconsistent. My wife ordered the scallops and received only three scallops. Photos online clearly show the same dish being served with noticeably more. I understand portion sizes can vary, but the difference was substantial enough to stand out. After our plates were cleared, we sat for approximately 10–15 minutes without anyone checking on us. Apparently, the server asked my wife about dessert while I was in the restroom, but when I returned, we waited another five minutes before I finally had to ask for the bill myself. Throughout the evening, we felt largely ignored. Looking back, I don’t believe anyone ever asked how our meals were. My family owns a restaurant, so I understand that service can suffer when staff are overwhelmed. That wasn’t the case here. The server walked past our table multiple times and never once acknowledged us or checked in. Out of habit from the United States, I still left a generous tip, but in hindsight I wish I hadn’t. We left feeling genuinely disappointed by the cold and dismissive service. It was certainly not the dining experience we had hoped for during our honeymoon in Galway.

30/08/2026: So sad we chose here for a birthday meal. Not one single person in our group enjoyed their food, the mushroom pasta was particularly bad (like a bad version of a pot noodle for €20), and the portions were tiny for the prices. The service was lovely and the girls working are gems but we will never return and do not reccomend

26/08/2026: Stunning location, had to be seen to be enjoyed. Still in awe of the graveyard

20/08/2026: Nice beer garden for a summer day, good food, friendly staff. What's not to like! I hear they have love music every so often and the sports are on as well. Would be my local if I lived around - no wonder it's so busy at times!

28/07/2026: Loved this pub. Staff absolutely fab. A 100% recommend. Food beautiful. I could write so much good stuff about here. But it would take to long.
