The best restaurantsof irish

29/06/2026: Food was top notch! The seafood chowder was full of fresh fish, the cod was amazing and the chips were the best we've had!

16/06/2026: Great local hotel in Killorglan. Very friendly. Clean rooms. Great food. Room was very hot as we were blessed with good weather but besides that it was perfect.

12/09/2026: Very good in all respects Worth a visit.

04/08/2026: Went for brunch having taken part in Clonakilty parkrun. Food and drinks are excellent. Sat outside, great service and a popular spot.

05/08/2026: I recommend the Combo platter for the best food to price ratio!

24/07/2026: Food nice,burger huge. Staff nice Worth a visit

09/09/2026: An exceptional experience. Food and service was 5 star. Couple that with being in the majesty of Ashford Castle, it is a night that won't be forgotten. The castle and grounds were magnificent

29/08/2026: We had dinner at the George V Dining Room during our stay at Ashford Castle and really loved it. It is a beautiful restaurant and absolutely matches the level and atmosphere of the castle. The atmosphere is very calm, elegant and quite intimate, which I personally really liked. We had the five-course menu and honestly enjoyed everything. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and the service was really top level — exactly what you expect from a place like Ashford Castle. Maybe one small observation, and of course this has nothing to do with the restaurant itself. For such a beautiful and elegant dining room, I expected the dress code to be a little more elegant as well. Some guests were dressed very casually, which for me doesn’t quite match the atmosphere of a place like this. But maybe this is just my personal feeling. Nothing really to complain about here 😄 Just a very, very good dinner in a beautiful setting. Definitely recommend it if you are staying at Ashford Castle!

22/08/2026: delcious and very resaonably priced

18/08/2026: Stopped for breakfast from the Dublin airport on our way to Galway. SO delicious!

30/07/2026: From the moment we first visited until the day we said "I do" our experience at the Stephouse Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. We chose it as the venue for our Wedding & it truly exceeded every expectation! All of the staff went above & beyond to make our day perfect, especially Benny,Becky,Sarah,Alan, Bridget & Lee.Every detail was handled with professionalism,warmth & genuine care which allowed us to relax & enjoy every moment with our family & friends.The hotel & gardens for our ceremony were stunning, the food outstanding and the service was flawless from start to finish. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the hotel was,how delicious the meal was & how welcoming everyone made them feel. We couldnt have asked for a more magical setting to celebrate our special day. A huge thank you to the entire team and Cait & James for making our Wedding Day so unforgettable. We will always have wonderful memories of our special day here and we wouldnt hesitate to recommend the Stephouse to anyone looking for the perfect Wedding venue or a fantastic place to stay. "Five stars simply aren't enough!" Maria & Michael Behan

15/06/2026: Our group of 17 friends, travelling from different counties, chose The Step House in Borris, Co. Carlow as our meeting point for a night away together, and what a fantastic choice it turned out to be. From the moment we arrived, everything was first-class. We enjoyed a light lunch in the bar before taking a fascinating guided tour of Borris House, located directly opposite the hotel. The tour lasted around two hours and provided a wonderful insight into the rich history of the area. Afterwards, we spent some time exploring the charming village before returning to the hotel to relax and prepare for the evening. Dinner in the main restaurant was booked for 7pm, and it exceeded all expectations. The menu was excellent, the food was beautifully presented, and every dish was cooked to perfection. The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional throughout, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Following dinner, we enjoyed a nightcap in the bar before retiring to our rooms. The accommodation was comfortable, spotless, and ensured a great night's sleep. Breakfast the following morning was equally impressive. Afterwards, we took a lovely walk through the village to the viaduct, enjoying the beautiful surroundings before returning to the hotel for tea, coffee, and a final catch-up. Before headinghome, we all agreed that this would not be our last visit. In fact, we are already planning a return trip later in the year for a festive Christmas getaway. The Step House offers exceptional hospitality, outstanding food, comfortable accommodation, and a wonderful location. We couldn't recommend it highly enough and are already looking forward to our next stay.

04/08/2026: Staff so nice with to staff from work and one of the girls 2 kids and the staff could not have been better. Food 10 out of 10.

31/07/2026: I got the "fresh burgers" but I thought that I would get an actual burger, and not a patty. That wasn't the main problem. The patty was chewy, mushy, and tasteless. The carrots were hard, cold, and tasted uncooked. The mash was somehow salty and dry. The cabbage was hard and unpleasant. The potatoes tasted like plastic. The trays were also quite sticky, and some had crumbs on them. They obviously weren't washed too well, if at all. Also the smell when coming through the front door was putrid, but only lasted a minute or two. Otherwise, the staff were friendly and kind.

12/09/2026: This place is gorgeous! Very cool old building with a very cool vibe. The chicken sandwich was fine, the chips + curry sauce were great - but the real star was our server Jonathan who was incredibly attentive and very kind. We had a minor mistake with our food when it arrived and he had it handled ASAP and even remembered our side of extra curry sauce. Thanks Jonathan! We’re sure to be back based on the amazing building and great service :)

12/09/2026: I had a fantastic time at this pub during my last night in Ireland. However, my evening took a turn for the worse when a female server approached me and asked to bring me my bill and cash me out before I was even ready. It was evident that this server didn’t want me there and “kicked me out” while I was enjoying my glass of wine, minding my own business. As a tourist, I overheard her say that she “doesn’t like Americans.” On the positive side, the first server provided me with a great history of the building, which I appreciated since I studied history at university and was drawn to Ireland for its rich history. I would definitely go back to this pub, but I would absolutely ask for a different server if I saw her again. The male servers were respectful and polite, but the female server on duty was extremely rude and unpleasant.

04/06/2026: Best food in town. European / Asian style combined with an Irish touch

28/04/2026: The food was excellent, didn’t stay in the accommodation but would highly recommend for a lovely meal. The sizzling prawns and pan fried hake was beautiful.

10/10/2026: Ordered food and coffee unfortunately the coffee machine was broken so I had to get decaffeinated coffee the worst of the worst type 😂. The staff however were extremely apologetic even though it was completely out of their control. The food was delicious though as far as I can remember I had eggs on sour bread with avocado. We sat outside in the sun. I would highly recommend Priory.

04/10/2026: Chill cafe with a good breakfast selection. I got the sausage egg and toast it was delicious. Highly recommend

19/08/2026: Good quality food, a small menu of local produce well presented. Staff very knowledgeable friendly. Good gluten free options including proper fish and chips

14/08/2026: Lovely pint of Guinness, friendly service, this is a hidden gem, can't wait to come back to sample the food!

19/06/2026: An absaloutly lovely place to have dinner, the staff were kind and the food was just delicious.

05/05/2026: To three restaurants in the county for sure. Always good for a special meal, but I'd recommend dropping in for a small bite or one of the specials on midweek. We often order all the starters to share and it's a real flavour journey. The wine is fantastic too!

24/09/2026: The first coffee house we frequented for our daily Irish breakfast during our stay in Donegal, in retrospect, it was one of the best breakfasts we had. Good, hearty, very friendly atmosphere and reasonable price.

05/08/2026: Wow. Gluten free chicken and chorizo pasta was so frickin good. very impressed.

17/10/2026: Ellie and Conor our servers were incredible. They knew what we wanted before we did !! They are such incredible server's and I will be back just for them.

11/10/2026: Stopped in for a drink and had some awesome chicken strips

05/10/2026: Went here for dinner after a long day. Ordered 2 dishes off the daily menu. Soup which was fine. Lamb which was drowned in gravy and I was treated like an imbecile when I asked for mint sauce, a routine condiment to be served with lamb. I couldn't eat the main course so went to pay. I was asked the usual "Was everything ok?" and I said it wasn't and why. The cashier then started arguing with me and eventually brought out a manager, not at my request. The manager advised that they had run out of mint sauce and would usually have it, a fact the staff seemed completely unaware of. The uneaten main course was clearly visible on the table and I was charged for it, which meant I paid €34.50 for a bowl of soup. There are so many good alternatives in Kenmare, I can only recommend going to any of the other restaurants instead of this one. I am a chauffeur/tour guide and eat out almost every night. This was an appalling experience and the worst I have seen, by far. I've just noticed the owners response, best summarised as disingenuous and self-serving nonsense. I amswered the "was everything alright?" question and was dismissed in a disrespectful and confrontational way by a member of staff who apparently didn't know what mint sauce was. My opinion remains that there are many superior venues in Kenmare and I will not waste my money in this place again.

02/10/2026: The P.F. McCarthy's is a very good pub/restaurant with limited dining options, BUT the Nachos with beef are absolutely worth a try. The beer options are various. Staff is very nice and helpful.
