The best restaurantsof irish

26/02/2026: Listen it's good so I can't fault it but god damn just sell the burger labelled as something else. I can't pick it up and eat it, it's basically just a dish on the plate in the shape of a burger due to it's sheer vertical height 😭

17/02/2026: Always guaranteed a fantastic meal - so much choice - and friendly service

04/04/2026: Strongly suspect that the walk in policy only applies to tourists, and that the locals can book ahead. Bit of a shame to have missed out, but wasn’t meant to be

04/04/2026: Not walk in only. Very clearly not. Do not expect to walk in. Watched the Instagram on the day which said they were opening at 6pm. Walked in at 7.20 as a pair. People in front were told a 2+ hour wait with no guarantee, we were told no sorry, come back another day. What stood out is almost all of the seating was used by 2 large parties (balloons etc.) and I seriously doubt they had shown up that evening and casually grabbed the place. All up was disappointing because we were super excited, had messaged them earlier etc etc. Yet just not reliable enough to commit to and would tell others not to take the gamble - particularly not if you’re a tourist who are lower priority.

05/04/2026: Great vibe, great atmosphere, gets a bit crowded but most places do, very nice people.

04/04/2026: My friend and I stopped at Monroe's for lunch. We were blessed with the appearance of Remi, a friendly giant, who patrols the pub & check on guests (and their plates sometimes haha). The pub itself has a good atmosphere and very interesting signed posters on the ceiling! It was busy, but not chaotic busy. The staff was super friendly. We both ordered beef burgers, which were really really tasty, and of course, a pint of Guinness. We have also noticed the place hosts many gigs and other events, which is awesome!

21/09/2025: Nice, little coffee truck. Great cappuccino!

13/09/2025: Great coffee, sweet location :)

27/03/2026: It really was the best restaurant in Ireland!! It was so good that I almost cry 😍 Also, lovely place, really nice staff and good ambiance overall. Will be back!

31/01/2026: Beautiful food! Great service and very good price! Will be back again

23/03/2026: A very cozy restaurant with a warm atmosphere and very pleasant and caring staff. We were here for the first time while passing through the Cliffs of Moher. The food here is very tasty. Great chowder! And a very beautiful aquarium with fish. We will definitely come back and recommend this wonderful place to our friends!

23/03/2026: Delicious ♥️ if you want to eat well and be great, this is the place to go

23/04/2026: A very cute café at the start of the Dap of Dunloe. Great for warming up after hiking :)

14/04/2026: The food is unfortunately very mediocre, pizza was flooded with cheese. Absolutely lovely people though and cute spot :)

23/04/2026: The food here is amazing. We even came here again for lunch.

22/04/2026: A perfect breakfast, amazing food, and the staff service was impeccable even though they were busy

11/04/2026: We took a group of 12 seniors down there yesterday it didn't make a difference if you had allergies was diabetic etc they had no intentions of helping all l wanted was a toasted chicken sandwich and chips l was told no (l couldn't eat what they had on the menu) the manager's were very rude and the reason they gave was they would have to slice a portion of chicken to make the sandwich l had no problem paying for the portion then they would not take bills individually they put it all together so we had to sit down and total up what each person owed it was a joke never in life will we go back there not just this group but our families also l have family living in Killarney and they used to go there all the time never again the 2 managers are horrible MEN??

07/04/2026: Pub atmosphere. Generous portions.

18/04/2026: One of the best service and food and had. From start to finish all the staff were very kind and the tasting menu is outstanding, specially the deserts.

14/04/2026: Practically perfect in every way. Tasting menu with wine pairing was very reasonable. The food was everything you'd expect from a starred restaurant, and the service was outstanding.

05/04/2026: Always a fabulous experience,amazing food and kind staff cannot recommend enough

30/03/2026: A very family-friendly restaurant with delicious food!

13/03/2026: Great place to go. The food is great and the staff are very friendly and professional.

23/02/2026: Food was great, service was prompt, polite and professional. Prices were good too.

19/04/2026: Excellent hotel, in a great location with really good food and friendly staff.

18/04/2026: Impossible to fault anything about our stay, from the moment we walked in until the moment we left everything was perfect. First off the staff absolute professionals, they made us feel like this was the hundredth time we'd visited and were old friends (and by the time we left we genuinely felt like we were). The building itself was impeccable, there was not one single thing out of place, not one item was in need of repair, not one thing that didn't work, looked shabby or had just been put down until someone gets back to it. You can just tell that this is a place that is run by people who really do care and it shows in every aspect of the stay. This is the type of place we'd come back to every year if we lived around this part of the world.

25/02/2026: Been away for a few months. Popped into the elm tree for Sunday lunch. Just as good as all ways, still good value, food still great except the roast potatoes, just too crispy.

18/02/2026: Beautiful surroundings, delicious cocktails and a very nice barmen with a beard who makes cocktails.

06/04/2026: Went here as a party of 3 for Sunday lunch. It was very busy so they took our details and said they should have a table in 20 mins. We did a little walk around the harbour and about 10 mins later my phone rang and our table was ready. Even though it was 12.15pm, and breakfast ended at 12pm, I was still able to get the scramblers and bacon which was fab. We also ordered the eggs benny and mini breakfast. 3 meals, 2 coffees and a softdrink later, the bill was €55 and we were full and happy!

26/03/2026: The food is usually excellent, but this morning my scrambled eggs were overcooked, unseasoned and served cold. So disappointing! Not sure what happened, but would make another attempt, based on previous positive experiences.
