The best restaurantsof irish

25/03/2026: Paid nearly €30 for two drinks at the bar. The drinks were really nice and the barman was friendly. However, I was surprised to be prompted for a tip when paying. There was no table service, we ordered and collected the drinks ourselves, so I’m not entirely sure what the tip would have been for. Tipping should reflect extra service, not just standard bar service. The expectation to tip on top of high prices is off-putting.

24/03/2026: Felt unwanted from entering. The Bar girl was refusing customers from 10.40pm. She came to my table at 10.55pm and said we're closed! Hadn't even finished my drink, I just left it. Dont work in the bar game if customers irritate you so much.

08/08/2025: While on our honeymoon in Ireland, Ireland by Bike suggested we dine at Yellow Pepper. So glad we did, the atmosphere is so cozy, the food was amazing. We had the opportunity to meet the owner Kieran who is a gem! Chris and Kerrilee

05/08/2025: Visited Letteykenny in Ireland for a short break, had seen reviews. Definitely have to book so popular. Lovely options to choose from. Decided to go straight to the main, I had the lamb shank special of the day, The lamb just fell off the bone, buttery mash with good selection of vegetables, some as purée,and a tasteful jus to bring it all together. My husband had the cod with fish pie, a beautiful chunky piece, definitely a hot pie with creamy mash. Both our plates were completely cleaned. I had the meringue with fresh fruit and compote, meringue crispy and chewy just the way it should be. A lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Staff were very attentive and polite. Very good value as well. Would definitely recommend The Yellow.Pepper

21/11/2025: Nice wee sit in diner. Good prices. Food is lovely.

02/11/2025: Beautiful food and lovely helpful staff, ordered a delivery last night and the man gave me 10% off because the online didnt work for me he was so nice and helpful and the food was lovely and fresh, Best snack Box in the town the southern fried chicken is beautiful nicest ive had in a long time wven nicer then KFC wipl definitely order again 😀 beautiful and thank you for such great service

07/04/2026: Terrible experience. The manager is rude, don't look at customer faces and don't give any kind of experience. Never going back there, specially at salthill. There's plenty of other coffee stores to go. Also the owner, Michelle, is not a friendly person at all. Horrible coffee, dirty coffee machine, steamer completely filthy. Bad experience.

06/01/2026: The branch I frequently visit is in Salthill. The staff there are across the board, so friendly, obliging and courteous. The food, (my preference are the pies,) are all delicious. They make an ab fhab, what I refer to as a Giant Jaffa Cake. 😋😋😋 Well worth the shekels no matter what you like! 👍

24/02/2026: We had the worst stay in a hotel room for decades. The room was so uncomfortably hot that we had to sleep with the window wide open and drapes opened. Do this created another major issue.shining directly into the window were two huge security lights which are on 24/7. The radiator in the room was OFF and it was not possible to turn down/off the A/C. I made this complaint on checking out and was assured someone would call, NOTHING!!! When my daughter and I arrived slightly later than we expected but in plenty of time to use the thermal suite we'd booked however because we had traveled a fair distance, we asked if we could move back our booking(thermal suite) 1 hour to 4pm We were told emphatically NO as it was fully booked. This was a LIE. No one was booked in at 4pm. When we left at 4.12 not a single person had arrived to use it! The only thing good about this hotel was the bar food, That's it. Try somewhere else if you actually want to sleep at night

21/02/2026: From the moment we arrived at Villa Rose, we were welcomed by such a warm and friendly atmosphere. The hotel has a genuinely inviting feel that immediately makes you feel at home. I had a massage booked with Gemma, and she was absolutely amazing — incredibly professional and wonderfully relaxing. I felt completely at ease afterwards. A truly lovely experience and I would happily stay again.

03/03/2026: (Traducido por Google) Siempre un gran lugar para los amantes de la música. Hay muchas oportunidades para socializar en un entorno bullicioso pero cómodo y para aquellos que buscan esconderse de los encuentros casuales, hay muchos rincones y grietas para desaparecer por la noche. También existe la ventaja adicional de poder separarse por completo y aventurarse arriba a la sección de descanso con asientos de cine para una experiencia única. Bebe y disfruta. (Original) Always a great spot for you music lovers. There's ample opportunity to socialise in a bustling yet comfortable setting and for those looking to hide away from chance encounters there's plenty of nooks and crannies to disappear into for the night. There's also the added bonus of being able to break away completely and venture upstairs to the chill out section clad with cinema seats for a unique experience. Drink up and enjoy.

19/01/2026: Great Wee funky quirky bar ++++++

17/04/2026: Really nicely located by the river. But unfortunately had a bad experience. It was not very busy, and my coffee took nearly 20 minutes to arrive. The hot chocolate came completely cold, and the cream on top was sour and gone off. I would be hesitant to come back sadly.

07/04/2026: Fabulous river side location to watch the world go by. Plus the food & staff are you class.

09/03/2026: Best restaurant in Galway, in fact best restaurant in Ireland hands down. Has been consistently brilliant since it opened thanks to Conor the owner. Atmosphere is buzzy and great people watching. I would highly recommend.

03/03/2026: Disgusted. Was hoping for dessert and wine at 10pm to finish the evening. Were rudely seated and then completely ignored for a good while despite trying to catch the waitrons attention. The restaurant was empty and 3 waitrons just chatting Really unacctable given the amazing options around the corner. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we stumbled accross Augustin next door. Amazing!!

04/04/2026: We only stopped for a snack, but the menu looked promising! It seems to be a bit more upscale, with all the products sourced locally. The waiter was very friendly.

21/03/2026: The Long Dock Pub is a hidden jam! Amazing atmosphere, staff is extremely helpful and friendly. And this was one of the best Lamp Stew I had in Ireland, hands down. Specially for those doing the Wild Atlantic Way, this place is a must.

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.

14/02/2026: Shocking experience once again , as per as a family who recently moved into the area and would love to make this pub a local for food and drink we tried it again and told that we couldn't have a drink as the bar was for food , while a bar was half empty and staff tripping over each other engaged in conversation at the bar in our past experience we were send to the residents lounge and told by the bar manger in there he was reserving tables for the locals and how long would we be there , we have family that drink there and highly recommend the place but I can say from trying over and over again and ending up in disappointment every time and rude management I look forward to the Wilton bar being renovated and walking place this establishment. Disgrace

11/02/2026: A great bar where the staff and locals are extremely friendly. A great atmosphere with some brilliant characters. And if you're into horse racing or football, there are various screens without the volume too loud.

29/10/2025: Comfortable hotel bar, great service from the bar staff. Not too busy when we were there.

05/10/2025: The restaurant's location is excellent, and the meal vouchers from our hotel were a great start. The food itself was fantastic, which made our experience even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the service was atrocious. We were not attended to at any stage during our meal, and no one checked if we wanted more drinks. We also had long waits for our food and had to flag down staff just to get the bill. It was disappointing to see what looked like a lack of training or management, as staff seemed to stand around talking to each other instead of helping customers. The poor service completely overshadowed what should have been a wonderful meal.

14/04/2026: Lovely Place, lovely food, nice bar

01/04/2026: Excellent place for Breakfast 🍳 Coffee is great and brilliant staff

08/03/2026: Great craic and food with staff who do their jobs really well

02/02/2026: Excellent music food and great place to stay when in killarney

29/10/2025: Family-run, medium-sized hotel with a very relaxed atmosphere. The location is perfect if you're traveling by car and want to explore the Irish west coast south of Galway. There's a restaurant, a bar with a limited menu, and a gym with a pool. Highly recommended!

26/10/2025: Had a very pleasant late cheese toastie and beer here after walk on the beach. Very smart inside. Ideal for family lunches.
