The best restaurantsof irish

01/10/2026: A good restaurant located in Barna, a seaside village not far from Galway

26/09/2026: Delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere 😊

18/10/2026: Had a fantastic meal, loved this place! Tuna tartare was to die for!

16/10/2026: The service was exceptional. Outstanding starters, snacks, and drinks. The €75 strip loin fell short however (was served medium, which perhaps is preferred to some, but we weren’t asked for a temp), as well as the halibut, which was a bit bland.

20/09/2026: Great place, atmosphere, the best Porn star martini.

17/09/2026: The best seafood chowder I have ever had. I was able to talk with one of the owners and ask about the town. Polite, friendly and full of stories. Lovely people in a lovely town.

04/05/2026: The food is amazing. The rooms are nice, but small. The shower isn't great. The hotel itself is really nice with loads of interesting features and a really nice terrace for drinks and lunch.

03/05/2026: Lovely friendly staff, great bar and smashing breakfast

24/10/2026: Lovely food, lovely staff, great atmosphere. Never disappointed when grabbing a snack or a meal at Simon's.

18/10/2026: Great place, good portions, recommend

23/09/2026: We loved this restaurant. Warm atmosphere, delicious food, and lovely staff. We have absolutely no complaints. A must-try if you're in the area. (Reservations are not possible and the restaurant fills up quickly).

20/09/2026: Disappointing. I still don't understand the hype. After a 45-minute wait, we were told the kitchen was down to a single cold lobster and no crab at all, apart from the claw appetizer. A seafood restaurant that runs out of seafood? The claws cost €18 and were barely a mouthful, with almost no meat inside. The oysters were decent, and the cheesy potatoes and calamari were the only real highlights. Otherwise, save your time and money. Service was fine, but the owner was cold and curt. He never smiled and brushed off our friendly attempts at conversation. The worst part came when a fire broke out in the bread basket at the next table, and the older couple sitting there hadn't noticed. My husband leapt up and put it out, and he was left with three painful blisters that will make golfing the rest of our trip a struggle. The staff offered him a burn spray, and the owner sent over a beer. Not once did anyone say "thank you." Not even a comped meal for the man who may have saved the restaurant from a much worse fire. We're friendly Canadians who always put others first. It's sad to see such a lack of gratitude.

06/09/2026: The perfect pub with a cozy layout, great food, pints and cocktails all served by friendly staff with Irish charm. On a short visit to Dublin I went back more than once. Highly recommend

06/09/2026: Pros: - Cocktails - Cole slaw - Potato soup Cons: - Corned beef dry - Onion rings greasy and didn't taste like beer - Bread pudding fake chemical vanilla flovoring

14/09/2026: Cozy breakfast or lunch spot. Nicely decorated and friendly staff. The carrot cake was delicious!

16/08/2026: Good food and friendly staff. A perfect place to enjoy some quality time overlooking the Liffey.

18/09/2026: A truly excellent and very pleasant setting, with a warm and efficient welcome. Reservations recommended.

15/09/2026: Have a been a couple of times over the past few months and it was great on both occasions. Try the delicious Beef Wellington

04/06/2026: I can't say enough about our experience at Silken Thomas. The owners are clearly treating their staff well, because it shows in how the staff treat the clients. Everyone from Reception, to the Bar, to the Restaurant (for both dinner and breakfast), to the person who showed us to our room, had a smile on their face and looked happy to be there. We felt well taken care of and everything we ate was delicious. We both loved the location and the recent redo, especially the shower. Special shout out to the lovely room cleaners and management who went the extra-mile to not only reach out to me to let me know I'd left a t-shirt behind on the bed, but also posted it to me in Dublin. My offer to reimburse them for the postage fell on deaf ears. The t-shirt has an illustration of a dearly departed pet on it and means an enormous amount to me, so I'll never forget Silken Thomas's kindness. Aces from top to bottom.

19/05/2026: Amazing room, great staff. Second time staying and will stay again in the future.

16/10/2026: Had a great night their very convivial tapas sharing leads to a much more sociable evening, sat in the enclosed "outdoor" seating area which was absolutely lovely.

01/10/2026: The experience we had was unbelievable. They brought us through a journey of wine and food that was unmatched. We will often now pause and think what an amazingly experience we had. The wine list was top notch. The food was unique and premium. Don’t know what else to say.

17/10/2026: We took the dart from Dublin to Dalkey and went to Finnegans on a friend’s recommendation. The interior was absolutely beautiful, the pints great and the cottage pie was absolutely delicious. And the staff was very attentive and friendly. And thanks so much for the Beamish pint glass to take home back to Canada.
