The best restaurantsof irish

01/02/2026: We have been here many times for dinner and we have never been disappointed. The scallop starter was superb, the Tiramisu dessert as good as you will get anywhere.

19/01/2026: Lovely neighbourhood restaurant in Stillorgan. Good value, friendly service, and excellent food.

08/01/2026: All the way from Australia, Melbourne 🇦🇺 Arthur’s Pub is the kind of place that wraps around you like a well-worn wool coat. Warm, unpretentious, quietly iconic. It feels steeped in stories, the sort of pub where time slows and conversations linger a little longer than planned. There is nothing flashy here, just tradition done properly, which honestly makes it even better. The bangers and mash were incredible. Proper, hearty, soul-soothing food. The sausages were juicy and deeply savoury, clearly good quality, with that perfect snap when you cut into them. The mash was creamy and comforting without being heavy, acting as the ideal base for the rich onion gravy poured generously over the top. Every bite tasted intentional, like someone in the kitchen genuinely cares about getting it right. It is classic Irish pub food executed beautifully, no notes. What elevated the experience even further was the wait staff. Truly lovely. Warm, attentive, and effortlessly kind, the sort of people who make you feel welcome rather than rushed. They struck the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine friendliness. Arthur’s Pub is honest, comforting, and memorable. Amazing food, beautiful service, and an atmosphere that feels like a hug. I would go back in a heartbeat!!!!

07/01/2026: Good food and nice environment. Nice staff .

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.

27/10/2025: Service was great . Fish (was light like a cotton) & chips was very tasty. Soup of the day super. Atmosphere was very cosy

11/02/2026: No unnecessary frills. Just the real deal, the simple thing, and the good thing.

05/02/2026: We had breakfast here, it was good and not that pricey. The coffee was included in my small breakfast and I think it costed 9~10 €

20/12/2025: Great little pub/ restaurant. We got a last minute booking for 4 of us and I had never eaten here before but I was not disappointed. The food was amazing and the portions are huge. The service came with a smile and friendly chat even though the staff were clearly on top of their heads. I will definitely be back soon.

08/12/2025: Great spot for food both during the week and for Sunday lunch. Not going to me tion my favourite in case it gets too popular.... well worth the visit.

30/12/2025: Went in here before Christmas for some food. The person that showed us to our table and was waiting on us was so rude. Maybe it was because we were not locals? She was short and abrupt when taking our orders and did not seem approachable at all. We felt like a nuisance if anything. It's unfortunate because it seems like a nice place otherwise.

23/12/2025: Great pint..excellent service lovely atmosphere.

28/09/2025: We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The seafood was incredibly fresh and delicious – every dish was beautifully prepared and presented. We truly enjoyed everything and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

22/09/2025: Great food and service, make sure you get there in advance as they are very popular.

19/01/2026: I dined in Deville's upon recommendation with 2 other friends last week. It was a disappointing experience. Food: Mediocre. I started with the pear and blue cheese salad. Upon arrival the mixed greens were the only ingredients visible other than the pear which seemed thrown on top. The red onion and candied walnuts and cheese was buried underneath the greens. The cheese was almost non-existent. In a restaurant of this caliber I expected a few small pieces of creamy blue cheese but I could only find a few tiny crumbles of the cheese. Crumbled cheese is the cheapest and this is not what I expected at all. It was pretty appalling. The other starters we ordered- crab salad was decent but the prawns in butter were not fresh. My friend ate them but he did remark that they did not seem to taste fresh and felt unwell during the night. I'm sure the prawns were the reason. For mains, I had filet steak. The others had lamb chops and the Chicken Florentine dish. The lamb chops were two mammoth double chops that were just too big. My friend was turned off by the size of them. My steak was cooked the way I liked, but it was not a tender filet. I've had much, much better. The bearnaise sauce that came with it was just bland, not offensive, but had no real pucker or flavor. For dessert, we ordered the banoffie pie which definitely felt like it bought in and not made in-house. Overall, food quality and presentation was very mediocre and lacked refinement. It was also disappointing that no bread basket was offered at the start of the meal. Service: The waiters were very pleasant but at times they congregated at the bar to the rear of where we were seated. On a few occasions, we had real difficulty getting their attention. Ambience/Atmosphere: the restaurant has a nice feel to it, and it felt comfortable and intimate. Overall, Deville's does not represent value for money. It is not cheap and I was expecting more. I would not be in any hurry to return.

28/12/2025: Such a nice cute restaurant with delicious food and great service

31/01/2026: Amazing food. Fantastic service - the waiting staff were so sound and did not mind catering to my fussy orders. Nothing was any trouble. Really cool interiors and atmosphere. I would recommend this place to all.

18/01/2026: Probably the best restaurant in the world, the quality of food is immaculate. I would advise everyone and their mother to come here and try this food. I cannot say it enough, this food will blow your mind as to how good it is. Fair play to all the staff they are extremely friendly and create a nice environment 👍

25/01/2026: Unbelievable dinner last friday night

19/01/2026: Lovely menu. Top class good. Service was excellent. Highly recommended.

02/02/2026: Delicious and pleasant atmosphere!! Delicious gluten-free bread :)

27/01/2026: We had a really excellent brunch here, the breakfast burger was fantastic as was the vegan breakfast. Coffee also very good

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.

05/01/2026: Nancy’s is truly a hidden gem. My partner and I decided to visit Nancy’s on a whim on our road trip. We were delighted to have what we can easily rank the best fish and chips we’ve had. We also tried the Seafood Chowder, which was great. We’ll definitely visit again!

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

16/01/2026: Comfortable, Fantastic menu, great service, and the food is absolutely delicious

21/01/2026: A historic place from the 60s, 70s and 80s...there is no world-famous rock musician who hasn't played here...from Hendrix, Jeff Beck, McCartney, Springsteen, Bono Vox, etc... Top atmosphere and drinks...reasonable prices... For every recommendation, A great discovery in a small town.

30/12/2025: Without question this is one of the finest Pubs in Ireland. Absolutely legendary place for great live music. A must visit if you are in West Cork.

23/12/2025: Loved it. Food delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend. Too tasty to take photos

10/12/2025: Another excellent meal at one of our favourite restaurants. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend.
