The best restaurantsof irish

19/11/2025: We've never written a bad review before, but my friends and I have decided we should after this afternoon. We will say the food is nice, but it's not even close to making up for the extremely poor service we have received alongside it. We have been back many times, as it is close by, but today was our last. Grown adults tried to bully us into paying for food we had not ordered and were extremely unprofessional when dealing with their own mistake (this has happened more than once and to others we know). They had also charged our friend for a dip (which is fine), but this was after they had forgotten to put her order through to the kitchen. When they finally brought her food out, they had already cleared the rest of our plates, again with little to no apology. You would assume that maybe, at the very least, ketchup could be free:/ We can appreciate that someone could be having a bad day, but it seems that the service staff here are consistently having these days, and it's reflected in how they treat customers, especially students.

07/11/2025: Great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

18/08/2025: The food was very delicious and the service was very attentive

27/09/2025: Delicious trifle and best coffee i had in i long time, very friendly staff

23/10/2025: Please clean the toilets same stains for years

05/10/2025: We had a few beers and an Old Fashioned there. The staff were very friendly. Dalkey is generally a very nice place. Recommendation: buy the Leap Visitor Card for €18 for 3 days. This allows you to travel all over Dublin on public transport. 72 hours of freedom. Definitely worth it. We'll definitely be back to this pub.

02/08/2025: Five of us had breakfast here today. The food was lovely plus the staff were lovely and friendly. We had a dog with us and they gave him water and were very helpful. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Well done.

02/08/2025: Nice food. Good service. Nice seats outdoors.

27/10/2025: Good pints well organised staff.

18/10/2025: I could get no room in the shearwater hotel, they recommend pillar house bar to me, I just wanted a bed to sleep in, nothing fancy. It's in the town , and a few steps down from the pub itself. Absolutely did the job for me, the bed is massive and ensuite small but it's only me. 50 euro for the night no breakfast, that's grand And no hurry up in the morning.

05/10/2025: Great for a stop off for the lunch and a drink.

04/10/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a wonderful experience at Hannon’s Hotel Restaurant, and a huge part of that was thanks to Caitlin. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel so welcome. She was attentive without ever being overbearing, and she anticipated everything we needed before we even had to ask. Caitlin struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness—her genuine kindness really stood out. She had great menu knowledge, gave excellent recommendations, and checked in at just the right times to make sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious, but the service Caitlin provided truly elevated the whole evening. Staff like her make all the difference, and I’ll definitely be returning thanks to the experience she created. Highly recommend both the restaurant and asking for Caitlin if you’re lucky enough to have her as your server!

16/11/2025: Food was excelent and ambiance also very nice, well done to kitchen staff. Thomas service was excelent, I will come back for sure!

08/08/2025: We had 2 breakfasts and 2 Dinners at this place. The food was great, especially the custom breakfast options. I also loved the coffee from their in-house espresso machine

19/07/2025: Had a great evening meal there with my mother who had been given a voucher. All three courses were generous servings of perfectly cooked quality ingredients. The staff were super helpful and friendly too.

03/09/2025: Perfect spot to avoid the tourist traps and get a truly decent cup of coffee, decent breakfast food and delicious pastry. Warm and welcoming service - thoroughly recommend this little retreat of a cafe!

19/08/2025: I happened across this café on a hungry morning exiting the shopping mall. The tables outside were full, so I sat indoors. Food was DE LISH OUS. I had a warm cajun chicken wrap with side salad, a custard tart, a coffee, and a glass of water. Total cost €13.70. Staff were busy but very helpful and attentive. There was a nice buzz and mainly older, local clientèle. The walls were decorated with an interesting assortment of paintings by presumably local artists. Highly recommend, would visit again.

24/11/2025: Stopped in for breakfast and it was absolutely excellent. The food was fresh, well-presented, and really good quality, easily one of the better breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. The dining area was comfortable and welcoming, and everything came out quickly. A special shout-out to Radi, who was genuinely exceptional. Her service was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. She made the whole experience stand out. Highly recommend dropping in here for breakfast and say hi to Radi!

17/09/2025: The location was amazing! Right in the middle of Oia which is perfect. The service was amazing. Kostas ( the owner) went above and beyond. He helped us with what to do, he booked us reservations, cab services and much more. He was there whenever you needed him. The rooms were good too!

03/11/2025: Bad form they're closing to do weddings only.

04/10/2025: Great atmosphere, service and food. Our favourite restaurant since being in Ireland! We sat on the bar side and the menu was excellent. The fires were warm and the service even warmer, especially on the cozy couches, on a stormy evening. Cocktails were also superb. Wish we were staying near for our whole trip so we could have another meal at the Red Door!
