The best restaurantsof irish

14/12/2025: Excellent food, good prices, generous portions. My compliments again to Edit, who surprised me by speaking perfect Italian and giving us excellent advice on food and our short visit to Limerick! If you're Italian and want a break from English, ask for her.

24/07/2025: We haven’t been there in over 20 yrs. Myself, my husband and mother (her 87th birthday) visited today for lunch. Such a lovely place, with excellent food and such warm and welcoming staff. The food was tasty and generous in portions. Won’t be 20 yrs till we are back again. Highly recommend.

11/01/2026: We had a two night stay at The Rafters Gastropub, we had a family room for 2 adults and our 3 teenage sons. The room was clean. warm, the beds were comfy and the amenities were everything we needed. We had a fabulous full Irish breakfast each morning, 5 stars!! The location is excellent, right in the centre of the city. Gerry and the staff were amazing, they couldn’t do enough for us. The bar is lovely with live music on the Saturday night which we really enjoyed. We will be back!!! Thank you Gerry and staff. Majella and Noel

23/11/2025: A mixed platter. We stayed at The Tannery for two nights. We were attracted by the promise of excellent food, so booked in to eat on both evenings. Or at least we thought we had, as it soon became apparent that they had lost our dinner bookings. To the full credit of the staff they did rectify this quite quickly. The room was great but the sound proofing was shockingly poor. The couple next door would be embarrassed if they knew just how much we now know about them. On the first night the food was very good and our waitress was a gem. Not so on the second evening. We both reordered the crab brulee,as we had so enjoyed it the night before. Big mistake, it was curdled and lacking crab. The mains were an even bigger disappointment as they were totally lacking in flavour, to the point I began to question if I could have covid. When the young waiter came to clear the plates, asked if everything was OK, I said, actually, both mains were terribly bland, to which he looked at my empty plate and rolled his eyes. Not an acceptable response. We came for fine dining,this was mediocre comfort food and oh so disappointing. Has The Tannery become too complacent ? Needless to say, no one followed up on my comment to the young waiter, either that evening, or the next morning.

14/09/2025: Just back from a lovely 2 night stay in the townhouse. The bedroom was lovely. The dinner was a really lovely treat, staff very nice and service was excellent. Breakfast was beautiful. Only 1 issue- you check in at the restaurant and the townhouse is accross the road from it. I think that might be useful to have on the website and also limited parking close to the townhouse. Dungarven a lovely place to visit with lots of pubs and great food choices. The tannery is very central. Visit Merrys & Nagles for drinks. Dun for pastries and Isabelles place for quirky shopping. All within a few mins walk of the tannery.

17/12/2025: This is a favourite of mine, excellent full Irish and great pancakes and stuff, wonderful seating area with natural lighting and a view of the town through the windows

27/11/2025: I don't know what the magic Mix you guys are making ... You are really awesome... I think I started getting addicted.

10/10/2025: Great cafe and deli. We drop in whenever we can. Good coffee and cakes. Tasty toasted sandwiches. Lovely location. Friendly staff. Great selection of wine, cheeses, honey and chocolates for sale among other things. Highly recommend.

27/09/2025: Great pkace for coffee and snacks.
