The best restaurantsof irish

09/05/2026: Lovely location and surroundings. Very friendly staff. The venue now seems to focus on the wedding market.

03/05/2026: Myself and my Husband got married at the Red Door on the 9th of April. We booked the venue from the morning to get ready and truly from start to finish our wedding day was made amazing by all the staff at The Red Door. The location is amazing and provides so many photo opportunities throughout the day. We had our ceremony In the Red door and it was so beautifully set up without needing any extra suppliers. One thing we thought was such a special touch was after our ceremony, Frances and Lauren met us both with a bottle of champagne to celebrate. All of our guests commented on the relaxed atmosphere, the food and the lovely welcoming, kind staff. The food at the drinks reception was outstanding. It continued to flow and guests were never left hungry. All of our guests said the dinner was the best dinner they have had at a wedding and that speaks for itself. The whole process from booking, planning and during the wedding was made feel seamless. We truly had the best day of our lives and that was all made possible by chosing the red door as our wedding venue. We highly recommend this venue to all wanting a small Irish wedding with a cosy, relaxed feel to it. Thank you all again so much 🥰

12/10/2025: Excellent tapas, friendly staff in the lovely lismore definitely worth a visit if passing through like I was ..... Food was fantastic 5 ⭐

26/09/2025: Kinda weird. They sat us down in the dining room. An empty room, nobody was there. Took our drinks orders, gave us menus. We were ready to go. Then they told us the kitchen wasn’t open…

01/08/2026: Linguini all life! Shoutout Dario

10/07/2026: Beautiful setting but embarrassingly bad service. Waiting 30 minutes to order a drink. Ridiculous.

17/07/2026: Great Irish pub for a pint and wonderful service! The food on the other hand, yikes! Best to eat elsewhere but was a pleasure with the pint and company.

15/07/2026: During world cup they close the place before event finished.

13/07/2026: Super simple food served with a smile. My only complaint was there was was just too much of it. We went back the following night.

11/06/2026: Good value. Low prices, relaxed atmosphere. Service is good. Nice quite pub, tucked away down a lane of skehard Road. Price of the pint is excellent

19/07/2026: Always delicious food, and particularly good for vegetarians. We look forward to eating here any time we are in the southeast of Ireland. Everything is made on site from scratch and the vegetables and salad vegetables are all very fresh and almost all grown on site. A wonderful garden to table experience.

16/07/2026: Great breakfast stop to aim for if you're just off an early morning ferry & heading west.

13/07/2026: Fantastic lunch, service was swift and very polite. Was dealing with Ruby, food was perfect will be back again

08/07/2026: Delicious choice of breakfasts in gorgeous surrounds. Loved it

31/05/2026: I had the chicken and mushroom tagliatelle and my partner had the chicken tenders. The food was beautiful and the staff were great. Very friendly with great food I wholeheartedly recommend Clancy's

01/05/2026: Four of us arrived for lunch. Ordered our food. It took at least 30 minutes to arrive, it wasn’t busy at all. That’s ok. The food was decent. We ordered half rice / half chips with the curries. We were charged charged us €5.45 per small bowl of chips. That’s an extra €16.35 for what should have been half and half. These bowls were also quite small - I’d call that saucy. Then proceeded to charge us €1.20 per dash of miwadi. I never left a negative review before now. This one fully deserved it. I’d call this daylight robbery. Won’t be back.

24/12/2025: Went here on Christmas Eve and although the place was extremely busy we were served promptly and the food was divine. Staff were amazing and performed so well under pressure. 100% spot on

06/12/2025: Great Value food. Chicken burger is the nicest I’ve ever had. Fantastic views all around. Great service and great pint of Guinness!

28/03/2026: A great bar and restaurant. Our family just spent a couple of evenings in The Townhouse and we were so well looked after. Really lovely food and reasonably priced. We will be back again!

16/03/2026: Pit stop at schull and had the best fish n chips here. Lovely staff and local people filled the restaurant. Thanks

30/03/2026: Every thing was perfect lovely staff great food . Lovely beach and water close by .playground for children . family rooms also

21/03/2026: Fantastic hotel we eat there every time we are in Buncrana.

03/06/2026: Overall, the hotel is nice. However , the location isn’t ideal if you want to be within walking distance of anything fun or cool. It’s on a golf course so it’s very relaxing , but boring. As far as the rooms, super outdated and inconsistent. We booked two rooms, one of them came with water and all the towels you would need. The other room didn’t have any water , and only two towels were provided. If you have to stay here in a pinch it’s okay, but I wouldn’t book here again. Not horrible, just not my favorite.

01/06/2026: We booked a last minute stay directly through the website as it looked on the surface to be excellent value; family of 4 for one night, bank holiday weekend, with breakfast for under €150, and access to the pool, which was our must have for visiting with 2 kids who love a pool. Lobby area is stunning, wide open and beautiful chandelier. We had a bit of a wander around and found that the ballroom area also was beautiful. It does feel more like a golf course with a hotel. We ate dinner in the bar with the kids; service was slow as it was very full with what seemed like both locals and hotel guests (positive sign) but not enough staff, but we got there in the end, and it seemed decently priced as well, which is good because the restaurant part did seem a bit excessively priced, and without the bar menu option, we absolutely would have eaten elsewhere. Breakfast the next morning was also good; not a massive selection, the usual fry up, 3 cereals, toast and pastries, but all good. The coffee was not good though, that needs addressing, as it was clearly granule coffee, and definitely too many granules, more like tar. A couple of things werent perfect with the fry up - fried eggs were all overdone, tomatoes a bit underdone, but overall it was good and filled a hole. The bread selection and sausages and bacon in particular were lovely. The pool in very convenient, all within the hotel itself, with changing rooms, showers, large pool, kids pool area, jacuzzi, all in good/great condition, and id go so far as to say the sauna is in excellent condition. The steam room was definitely struggling with the steam element, but it was ok. Kids had a blast. The room itself - this is why its so cheap. We stayed in room 106. Despite all the positives, the food, the pool, the lobby area, the room is a let down. The rooms are old and tired, and need updating. The carpet is musty, the windows old and a bit moldy, and the beds a bit lumpy. There is no air conditioning in the rooms. The bathroom is very tired; mold between tiles, stains in the tub, leak at the toilet. The biggest issue was two silverfish in the bathroom which to find was a big surprise, pointing to that there are probably a lot more. Must be living under the tub. I know how terrible these are to get rid off, but it has to be prioritised. No doubt they will, and I did immediately let the receptionist know, and she was going to get someone to attend to it immediately, but the kids were asleep so said leave it till tomorrow when we check out. The room wasnt clean. Found things under the desk and around the perimeter. I know its always rush rush rush to turn a hotel room around, but more care needs to be had with the rooms. Pics attached of the dirt/dead bug. So a mixed bag; good food, nice lobby, decent location, and Ive stayed in much worse, but to move it back to that next level, it needs a refurbishment of the rooms as soon as possible. The kids were happy and didnt know any better, and we made some great memories, but my experience is 'its fine' rather than 'definitely stay here'.

08/02/2026: Annual tradition after the Kinnity Knight run. Great service.

30/01/2026: filled with people who clearly love their job. food was made with love and artistry other than the king rat colony circling my seat and snarling it was clean and comfy.

07/07/2026: Hi River bar. We are Looking for an Arsenal pub in Dublin and your bar comes up as the official Arsenal bar in the area. It doesn't really look like an Arsenal themed place. Is it really an Arsenal bar?

06/07/2026: I want to see mexican match and the didnt let me in! if u r gonna promote world championship matches you cant just let people outside!!! never again

08/07/2026: Was in day before ordered bigger breakfast today got the smaller breakfast and my son had same thing as yesterday, but it ended up costing more doesnt make sense pointed it out to the man who was charging us at the till and he said doesnt really matter, but it does matter. He even smirked about it, wont be back. The girls are lovely though.

29/06/2026: Absolutely disgusting behavior from the manager of mr chippie. My family and I were having food on tuesday evening with my 2 year old child who happened to be crying as we were leaving when the manager had walked in and told us “sort her out” while pointing at my 2 year old child and walked on. My child is being assessed for autism and and has behavioral issues hearing this as an already struggling mother i ended up crying my eyes out, when i brung this up to management they replied with ‘?’. This is clearly an ongoing issue as its not the first ive heard of this specific manager leaving people in tears and now picking on a 2year old child? disgusting behavior management should be ashamed of how they treat their customers.
