The best restaurantsof irish

03/03/2026: Good food, value for money and great customer service. Went there on a Sat night, was busy, but got seated right away. Order taken and food arrived in no time! Recommended

24/02/2026: Lovely friendly staff and very acccomadating to us.

31/01/2026: Best pub I’ve ever been to. Truly special atmosphere — warm, welcoming, and wonderfully authentic. We loved chatting with the patriarch of the bar and had such a great time talking with the locals as well — one of those places where conversation just naturally happens. A big thanks to Alan for the drinks — we’ll buy the rounds next time. The bartender, one of the owner’s daughters, was absolutely lovely, and sitting by the fire made the whole evening extra cozy. We’ll definitely be back — and next time we’re making sure it’s on a night when food is being served, because we hear it’s not to be missed.

08/01/2026: Nancy’s Bar in Ardara is the kind of establishment that captures the soul of Donegal the moment you step through its traditional red doors. This family-run gem manages to feel both like a step back in time and a masterclass in modern hospitality. ​The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the fantastic full selection of oysters. Brimming with the fresh, saline bite of the Atlantic, they were expertly shucked and served with a precision that honors the quality of the local catch. Following this, the open prawn sandwich was a delight generous portions of succulent prawns resting on hearty bread paired perfectly with a bowl of seafood chowder. The chowder was velvety and packed with flavor, avoiding the common pitfall of being overly floury. ​ While the pub's popularity means it can get quite snug and bustling during peak hours potentially leading to a short wait for a table the atmosphere is so authentically warm that you hardly mind. The service is efficient yet retains that genuine Irish charm that makes you feel like a regular. Nancy’s isn't trying to be a polished gastro-pub; it’s a characterful, honest sanctuary for seafood lovers. It remains an essential stop for anyone traveling the Wild Atlantic Way.

12/09/2025: Ordered a classic Spillane’s burger with the works.. Mar’s burger sauce, bacon, cheese.. SO delicious! 10/10

11/09/2025: I’ve been coming to this place for over 20 years and I’ve been disappointed at how much the food has declined in recent years but went again today just to give it another go. The veggie options were really poor, I was served what seemed like a frozen burger with frozen chips, and then charge €1 extra for a slice of American cheese. It felt like no care or attention went into the food. The people I was with were equally disappointed (they had non-veggie options). Really disappointing experience compared to what this place used to be.

12/03/2026: we were a group of 7 from italy, they made us feeling welcomed and the food really good. the waiter was funny and really friendly!!!🍻🕺

11/03/2026: Great seafood chowder, almost worth the more than 30min it took to prepare!

05/02/2026: Probably one of the best burgers and pizzas we've had. Those guys know what they are doing absolutely fantastic place

31/01/2026: The Woodfire is a great place to eat and dine, if you have a hankering for Pizza. Wifey and Hubby went with a couple of friends. And all were happy and full with the menu. Wifey and Hubby Haven't been back for at least 6 odd years. Back then the menu range was bigger and more diverse. Now they are more selective, specialising in pizzas. A decent meal option, which they do very well. Hubby was silly, opting not to pizza, in a place that specializes in oven pizzas. Everyone else did, hubby went with the lamb burger, which was great, but was something he did regret. I like Pizza, I prefer a deep pan style myself, here they prefer the thin crust. but the question hubby asked himself was would I order it for dinner? Still Wifey had the pineapple one, which I had a few slices of. Regardless of the pineapple topping, I cannot fault it in the slightest. The only disappointment with the menu was the lack of desserts or even coffees at the end. We all left full and not wanting more, but I wish there was something available to end the meal. Side note, the chips are good too. Hand cut and homemade. A small decent high quality portion. Either way a great place to eat pizza and wine. Or in Hubby's case IPA, definitely recommend...

25/01/2026: This restaurant is such a cute place! I’ve most delicious clam chowder soup & a very fresh garden salad. The service was excellent, friendly people and delicious food. Recommended! 🍲🥗

29/10/2025: Charming restaurant with delicious food. I was there at the end of July with my mother staying within walking distance of the restaurant, and it was one of the best meals we had during our 5 day trip in Ireland.

02/03/2026: A pleasant dining room with a fireplace or a view of the moors. Friendly and efficient service. Tasty dishes, generously portioned, at reasonable prices (under €20). Delicious homemade cheesecake for a sweet finish! One of our favorite places during our tour of Ireland.

17/02/2026: Really lovely spot. The owner is so charismatic and friendly, you can tell he really cares about his business. The food was lovely too, very hearty Irish food. Would definitely recommend.

14/02/2026: Spectacular meal had by 3 friends to celebrate a roundy birthday! Very warm welcome from staff whose service was exceptional. Presentation and flavours of all courses was simply sublime. Not cheap but fabulous location for a very special celebration.

28/01/2026: Really high quality food and service!

06/03/2026: Nice cafe in quiet part of Dublin nice stouts

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

07/03/2026: Exceptional night for our party of 27. Every course was superb. Sincere thanks to all in Dela for a wonderful experience

06/03/2026: EXCEPTIONAL! 5 stars all around. All the staff were extremely attentive, well informed and went above and beyond. Then the coffee came out and blew us away. Such a cool design but also so tasty. We love speciality coffee and this didnt disappoint, then to find out the owners roast their own coffee! So cool. But the final star was the food. EXCEPTIONALLY fresh using only the best ingredients. Highly recommend. ❤️

19/01/2026: On a cold, wet Mayo evening, my wife Vivien and I found exactly the welcome we needed at An Port Mór restaurant in the county. From the moment we arrived, Lucy and Sophie greeted us with a warmth and ease that immediately set the tone for a memorable night, making the weather outside feel entirely irrelevant. I began with beautifully prepared smoked salmon, followed by a blade of beef that was nothing short of superb - rich, tender, and deeply satisfying, before finishing with a perfectly executed crème brûlée, all accompanied by elegant, well-chosen wines that complemented each course effortlessly. Vivien’s meal was equally impressive: a comforting, flavourful soup to start, followed by delicately cooked hake, and a pavlova that was as light and delicious as it was beautifully presented. Port Mór once again reminded us why it remains our favourite restaurant in the West of Ireland if not the '32' counties: exceptional food, thoughtful wine pairings, and lovely people with genuine hospitality that turns an evening out into something truly special. Even on the coldest, wettest night, it delivers warmth in every sense. Eamonn de Búrca
