The best restaurantsof irish

10/06/2026: The young staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Felt very safe as a solo-traveler. Food was fantastic! Restaurant was lovely and the view from the breakfast room into the garden was a beautiful way to start the day.

29/05/2026: Lovely service with amazing breakfast. Right beside Glenbeigh village with access to walks and Rossbeigh beach close by. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area. Rooms were comfortable and clean

31/05/2026: Stayed in Ahernes recently for 3 nights. We couldn’t be happier with the very friendly welcome from David and the team. The food was excellent catering for a coeliac without any issues. The home made bread was ‘the best ever’….. thanks Anne!, we left with the recipe! A super location for a relaxing break.

24/05/2026: Excellent food but on the pricey side. Staff very helpful and friendly.

21/05/2026: Kate's Kitchen, a wellness shop located in the dying heart of Sligo town - I went in there, bought some coffee granules and left. The staff were efficient, they served me well and were of genuine help, it was clean and no one left with significantly less bodily secretions than they came in. An overall good experience. However, there's a more interesting side to what Kate's Kitchen represents rather than what it sells in my humblest opinion. The idea of organic produce, exotic produce, produce that is used by the customers whom if you used that produce and used it against Aldi own brand couldn't tell the difference. Why is that? I can safely say that although I've never been to a Michelin star restaurant getting pasta served to me from a wine glass, I can broadly assume it would be a superior dish to a Dolmio pasta bag that you pour hot water in. Of course, I'm not saying that the clientele of Kate's Kitchen are fools, some of them are possibly rather extra ordinarily intelligent - making such assumptions about a group of people never got us anywhere productive or positive. But, if you were to give them the Palestinian olive oil, the fancy Italian pasta, organic tomato sauce made by an Italian man high in the Apennine who only knows the exact amount of water, garlic, basil, tomato to make a most excellent sauce and the finest guanciale to make a dish - then do the same experiment with stuff from where these people fear most, Aldi. The customers would cook up something that would probably taste the same. There's a reason for this, Kate's Kitchen appeals to Sligo towns middle class and upper classes. And naturally this isn't an issue, it means much higher profit margins for Kate's Kitchen however Ireland, historically didn't have a proper native upper class, they were for the most part British. This is why you see richer people not have an Irish accent, it's a whiff of an English or an American one. They copy what they perceive as how the "rich" talk. They copy what the other rich do, buy organic and expensive. And thus, raises the issue to Kate's Kitchen, it is a tragic location when you seriously look in there. Hardly any customer speaks, no one is laughing, the staff may pop a few jokes and the customer giggles too. A very brief ecstasy, then - back to their lives. A life, they despise. They have money for sure but lack the joy and purpose that guides a lot of humanity, they did what Mummy and Father told them. Become a solicitor, vote Fine Gael and for the love of god join the rugby club. What is more tragic is the fact that whilst Kate’s Kitchens items for sale are indeed organic, they can be pricier than what one would find in say, Lidl. Of course, having artisan/small business made items that are mostly not from Ireland will mean that they are usually more expensive. Again, no fault of Kate’s Kitchen. For they need to ensure that staff is paid, shelves are stocked, and that the lights are kept on. But circling back to what I said earlier, buy organic and expensive…… A lot of these customers just buy the items because they are expensive, and do not maximise them or even use them. I would wager that a lot of the items within the shop are purchased because they are performatively trying to show off to their friends that they are “cultured”. And what is even worse is the fact that in parading in this charade they have carved out for themselves, yet as I have observed in the shop – they hate this charade. They are probably miserable, in the valleys of their midlife crisis, blindly marching towards the bitter grave, not missed by their children as they only care about whatever they are getting in the inheritance. They wanted their little angels to be kind, loving and better than them, but their hubris made them selfish entitled little brats. But that pain is temporarily numbed, why? They bought the Palestinian olive oil to show that they support small Palestinian businesses. And the neighbours? Well they could only get Dunnes Stores.

27/04/2026: Quite simply the finest shop in Sligo, without question! Every aspect is of exceptional quality: the food, the coffee, the wine selection, even the toiletries; the list is endless. The staff are truly brilliant, very helpful and knowledgeable. I have been enjoying their curry mayo chicken wrap for well over a decade, and it remains, without exaggeration, the finest sandwich imaginable. Kate’s is a genuine Sligo treasure, and we are most fortunate to have it.

14/09/2025: Fantastic coffee l, a very warm welcome and delicious wholesome homemade food at a very good price.

06/09/2025: Such a lovely respite from our hike. Food was excellent, service warm and friendly, loved the plants and dog.

31/05/2026: Fabulous food, great variety. Just perfect.

08/05/2026: A very good restaurant, offering original dishes that blend modernity with Irish tradition. For example, the black pudding salad is excellent and generous. Warm welcome, top-notch service. Small parking lot next to the church, limited to 2 hours.

24/03/2026: Food is shocking…… service depends on who’s working… a couple of staff are absolutely brilliant but there’s others there don’t even know they are born yet!!! And make sure to check your bill. You could be charged for stuff you don’t ask for. You be better off going hungry. The town needs a proper restaurant more than anything.

03/03/2026: Lovely restaurant in Graiguenmanagh, it has great staff and the menu has a good variety. Some seating outside and music most weekends. Definitely not one to miss when your out and about walking, or staying in the near campervan hub, Its your perfect place for breakfast lunch or dinner

17/05/2026: Very nice! Food was perfect. The noise level depends on which area you eat in. We had the red pill (bar). If you get it, please smile.

21/04/2026: Great food, very friendly staff, had a lovely evening.

15/10/2025: I am vegetarian and I am allergic to mushrooms and it was a mushroom fettucine on the menu for vegetarians so that was dissapointing for me. So i just had the soup. Everything else was lovely.

10/10/2025: Amazing food , service was great and they were able to make sure my meal was gluten free.

04/05/2026: This pub in Blanchardstown village has a lot of character! 🍻 The atmosphere was truly unique (thou PETA activist beware). While the breaded Brie was a bit simple for what they charged, and a small charge mix-up happened, the seafood linguine, beef & Guinness pie, and noodles were wonderful. 😋 I want to definitely return try their carvery! 🍽️

04/05/2026: We ordered 2 large portions of chicken wings and the portion was smaller than a small portion of wings. I raise this with the waitress and she said she placed a large order, she has no control of the portions… then I saw the next table order a large portion and I knew they messed up our order.. 18€ per portion mind you.. I’m just upset I didn’t take a photo of it.. we also ordered prawns pil pil.. 19€ for this.. pizza is 19€ for an average pizza.. the pub is good for pints but make sure you eat before you go…

10/05/2026: I had a fabulous stay recently with my mam and my daughter.We were spoiled from the moment we arrived with an upgrade,fabulous food and dancing with a live band and the most amazing treatments in Asha Spa(Highly recommended!)and all the staff were lovely.We love it here as it has everything we need for the whole family to enyoy!Thanks

09/05/2026: We absolutely love working at Ashdown Park Hotel! Claire and Eimear are a fantastic team to work with on a wedding day. They are so professional, organized, and truly care about making the day perfect for the couple. As wedding photographers and videographers, we really appreciate a venue team that makes everything run so smoothly and creates such a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for everyone. We highly recommend Ashdown Park Hotel to any couples looking for a beautiful venue with incredible staff! Damian

02/04/2026: The staff were incredibly friendly and very attentive to my food allergy, ensuring I had a safe and delicious meal. After our wonderful dinner we were kindly invited to move to a table by the fireplace to enjoy some drinks. We had a fantastic evening and would highly recommend this pub/restaurant.

13/03/2026: Great service and spectacular food, as always 😋😋😋

07/03/2026: Cold atmosphere, staff not very cheerful

16/02/2026: Be warned staff will overcharge you here. Came here on Saturday night for a friends' leaving night and the place is nice, staff are friendly. However I ordered two pints when I got there, which was €13.50, so €6.75 per pint. Later on in the night I got one pint and I was charged €8.50. I didn't check the card machine before tapping my phone, and didn't notice until the next day, otherwise I would have said it. Either this place is using some kind of variable pricing, or the barman added a tip without asking me, or just simply overcharged me, because in what world is a pint of beer €8.50, not sure Temple Bar would even be that expensive. I tried to find an email address for the bar to say this to them directly without posting it here but they don't seem to have one. The chicken goujons were ok but I only got three small ones, not great for the price. The DJ will also deafen you when he starts, and once he starts all chance of conversation with your friends goes out the window.

10/05/2026: The hotel is a 30-minute drive from the airport. A great pub is a 10-minute walk down the road.

06/05/2026: Good location for Dublin area access. Food is decent and great staff. Nice pint of Guinness.

20/05/2026: Cleanest bathroom ive ever seen in a pub.

24/02/2026: Beautiful people ❤️, loved the music and atmosphere

31/05/2026: Delicious food, reasonable prices, lovely gift shop. Great atmosphere and busy all year round woth tourists visiting the historic Hill of Tara. Home to the high kings of Ireland 🇮🇪

21/05/2026: Great value for money and lovely atmosphere. The service was really quick and the food was delicious. We'll definitely be back!
