The best restaurantsof irish

13/09/2026: Beautiful wholesome homegrown fresh food in the heart of Waterford. Very friendly and courteous staff.

05/09/2026: A little disappointed with the variety of vegetables for sale in the shop to say the least

30/08/2026: Excellent service. Great setting. Great service. Food….poor. All dishes far too salty. Chefs and cooks in the kitchen MUST taste before dishes go out to customers. Very poor for hefty prices. The sauce with the pork chop was terrible. The chefs idea of a rich sauce missed the mark altogether. Several oxo cubs with a few spoon fulls of marmite that completely blew the head off only left you gulping down the water. And a pork chop cut in strips so it was dry by the time it arrived at the table. Come on lads!!! Anyway, the service kept it going and that’s what I was thankful for….at least.

25/08/2026: Recommend this place, very homely, great staff and plenty on duty whilst I was there.

06/04/2026: Had a fantastic stay - the place is all about relaxation. Room had a wonderful view over the lake. Food in the restaurant was absolutely delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough.

29/03/2026: We had the most incredible two-night stay at Carrig Country House and can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the setting completely won us over — right on the lake with breathtaking views that make it so easy to unwind and switch off. The house itself is full of charm and character, with a warm, cosy atmosphere that feels truly special. Being invited for coffee and homemade cake with biscuits after checking in is a great touch. We were lucky enough to stay in the Presidential Suite, which made the experience even more memorable. The space, comfort, and stunning views were exceptional — it felt like a real treat and the perfect place to relax. What really sets Carrig apart, though, is the hospitality. The team are genuinely welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful, creating a stay that feels personal and effortless. The dining experience was a real highlight. Being welcomed into a cosy sitting room to relax and discuss the menu before being called through to dinner is such a charming, old-world touch — it made each evening feel special. The food itself was outstanding from start to finish, with top-quality ingredients and beautifully presented dishes. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with incredible food, beautiful surroundings, and truly warm hospitality, this place is a gem. Thank you to Claire, Kevin and the team for everything. We’ll definitely be back.

26/03/2026: I bring groups of over-55s to the cafe for working lunches as they use new AI tools to decide on best options. The cakes always win five stars. Most of my friends opt for tea and sandwiches and it’s for those specialities that I award five stars.

13/05/2026: Very good cafeteria. A great place to take a break during your visit. Very friendly staff.

31/03/2026: Delicious food made with fresh ingredients. The service was very friendly, and despite the large number of guests, the food arrived quickly. The coffee was outstanding.

16/09/2026: The sausage and egg cozy McMuffin breakfast is to die for, absolutely gorgeous and the coffee was delicious too. The waiting staff, Sheena and Sinead were lovely, chatty and very friendly. It’s always lovely when the chef, Caireen this time, also lovely, popped outside, I was eating in the dog friendly cozy alley, to see if everything was ok. 10/10, thoroughly recommend 👌👌👌

12/08/2026: As promised when we were leaving (about 20 minutes ago!) we're leaving a good review of our visit to this fabulous little cafe, great variety of dishes on the menu and food and service was amazing. Lovely friendly staff and nice decor and atmosphere with very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back next time we're passing through 😊

02/09/2026: Really like this pub as it caters for all types and has music, also does food which is really good, there is also outside seating at the back, would recommend. Parking can be tricky if it is busy. It is a walk up so not sure if a table can reserved.

23/08/2026: Rudest guy ever carving the meath, won't be back.

10/06/2026: Typical Irish pub atmosphere, very welcoming service, good traditional and homemade food. We recommend it!!

08/06/2026: Have been here many times, but not since the new people took it over. Decided to call in. On entering nothing has changed. So got the same, usual welcoming feeling. A great atmosphere. In the past have seen people watching sports on TV, didn't notice this time, which in one way was a bit easier to talk. Big premises. Very deceiving from the road, much bigger inside. Anyway the food is beautiful still the same great choices. Staff very efficient. Parking on the road. We still haven't managed to stay here yet so will have to sometime in the future, so look forward to that. Good value. Call in you won't be disappointed.

10/06/2026: Lovely food. Friendly staff. Couldn't fault it.

30/05/2026: Nice little hotel . Rooms were a good size for the price and the breakfast and menu options were very good . Its not the Ritz and makes no claim to be but if you are looking for a great value hotel that leaves you with more money in your pocket to explore the area you wont go wrong . Also the staff were lovely which is always a bonus !

31/08/2026: Not a bad spot, staff are friendly, food was spot on, the place could look a bit cleaner to be honest, an oul mop of the floor wouldn't go a miss but other than that everything else was spot on

05/08/2026: Having checked the reviews I made my first visit to Supermacs Donabate, about 7pm on 5th Aug 26, with trepidation! I was there as the local chippy reviews were even worse! I was pleasantly surprised. Great vibe between the manager and staff, everything clean and tidy and when we got home the food was hot, fresh and very good to eat - well done guys!

01/08/2026: Only doing window service this year. Not able to sit down inside.

17/07/2026: Namir has the nicest restaurant in Ballybunion. The food and the service is 10/10 such a lovely atmosphere. Ice cream is also delicious !

31/08/2026: They do a fabulous Fish Pie, full of fish. Our second visit, our first was two years ago and the quality of the food is the same. Staff friendly.

29/07/2026: Have been a customer for many many years . So disappointed the quality has droppped significantly of late .

10/08/2026: Old world lounge with modern menu and great service. Lovely pint of Guinness. Easy parking.

16/05/2026: Fantastic food. Huge portions. Lovely afternoon celebrating my dads 80th birthday.

27/06/2026: Great hotel Breakfast could have more pastry selection. Dinner was lovely. Reception staff amazing and restaurant staff are lovely. Over all great hotel would definitely recommend.

15/04/2026: My family stayed in the Riverside Hotel recently while my husband was attending hospital. We have stayed here several times, but this stay especially warranted a review. The lady at reception, Erin, quite literally moved heaven and earth for us. She went above and beyond to help us. She is an absolute credit to the hotel! A lovely woman, the hotel is blessed to have her!
