The best restaurantsof irish in Limerick

23/05/2026: Many thanks to Freddie and Denis and all the staff in the Old Stand yesterday. We had a fabulous family meal celebrating our daughters communion. Excellent food drinks and service, we had a lovely relaxed afternoon. Thanks all

22/04/2026: Recently had our daughter’s christening. Food was high quality served by staff who showed not just a high level of detail but also made you feel welcome and looked after. We had a set menu for approx 50 people with a great variety of choice high quality food in a function area upstairs which we had to ourselves We would highly recommend this venue for any special occasion or if your looking for good food in a high quality establishment

05/04/2026: Disappointing… scallops with curry dressing, chicken with wasabi mayonnaise … why ?? Steak was tough but chicken was cooked lovely. Overall nothing special

03/04/2026: Food was ok, building is nice, but their rules about cancellation and how much you have to order left a bad impression. Staff didn't feel very welcoming compared to any other restaurant we visited in Ireland. On the day of our booking a member of our party wasn't feeling well so we considered cancelling, however the restaurant charges €50 per person if a reservation is cancelled with less than 48 hours notice so we went anyway as it would otherwise be a huge waste of money. The restaurant has a minimum order of one main course per person. With one person not feeling well and others not particularly hungry we considered sharing a couple of dishes and starters but staff re-confirmed that there was a minimum of one main per person or two starters per person. We ultimately got 4 mains, a single side to share, and a couple of glasses of wine bringing the bill to €169. Bit overpriced considering the dishes were were mostly just the meat and not much veg and no side included, and definitely a lot for a meal we would have preferred not to attend had we been able to cancel. Note that €50 per person to cancel would have been significantly more than our actual bill, which I think demonstrates how unreasonable that is for a cancellation charge. Overall we felt a little unwelcome (possibly due to us asking about minimum orders) and that staff were a bit pushy with trying to get us to buy bread, starters, sides, as if trying to get us to spend more money as opposed to just checking if we actually wanted something. The cancellation/minimum order rules bothered us. Bread cost €5.50 where most other restaurants we visited on our trip had included it for the table for free. The menu says "No cancellations or substitutions" and "We do not split bills" which makes it feel like despite their slightly higher than average prices they are strict and unwilling to make any effort to accommodate customers. Positives: Nice building inside and out. As it was my birthday they did provide a little birthday scoop of ice cream with a candle. We also noticed that they kept our water topped up throughout the meal.

04/05/2026: Sunday lunch was fab..beautiful beef..Denis gave wonderful service…a memorable afternoon..

05/04/2026: Lovely hotel but poor service particularly in the bar area. There were 6 customers in the bar and 7 bar staff and yet I struggled to get the attention of any of the staff, poorly trained. The hotel and location is great and the breakfast is excellent with great service.

05/05/2026: The food here is gorgeous, I had Malaysian chicken, and it was delicious. I have never been disappointed with a meal here. The staff are really lovely too. So helpful and friendly.

01/04/2026: The food is very nice and loads of options for vegetarians etc. The price is very reasonable for the quality of food served. The staff are excellent, brilliant with children and very patient when taking orders. There's a nice atmosphere while eating and for family occasions this allows guests to chat among themselves without much background noise. Well worth a visit and a credit to the owners and staff.

07/04/2026: Fantastic spot .. Food is amazing staff absolutely outstanding, friendly and give good service.

17/05/2026: I was looking for a place to eat spicy wings and this was it, I loved it!! We'll be back when we return to Ireland. The food was amazing, the staff friendly, everything was great.

10/05/2026: We ordered the chicken wings it come only few very small pieces. And sauce is too spicy. That’s not the worst thing. The staff didn’t tell us there is terrace booked, then later some guy who is moving chairs aggressively told us they booked and have to move. And immediately ruined our atmosphere and appetite not mentioning in terrace area some teenager coming going looking side eyes on us. We were with 3 month old baby. We there only ones. I felt bit of racism. We were only Asian. The seafood chowder, roasted lamb, fish and chips was tasty. The serving is good

11/05/2026: Had a great night in Bobby Byrnes’ on the May bank holiday. Staff were so attentive and friendly. The food was lovely and had so much options available. The manager Niall couldn’t have been more accommodating. We will definitely be coming back!

14/03/2026: Hello. I ordered a double cheeseburger with fries and a Coke Zero. I'm very pleased with the price and the taste of my meal. The customer service was very friendly, helpful, and fast. It's a very atmospheric place between the castle and the cathedral. I highly recommend it to everyone 😉

05/03/2026: We had a fabulous lunch here. Staff were excellent. We couldn't fault. Highly recommended.

15/02/2026: Could do better in gluten free options, Sunday lunch menu is disappointing for gluten free.
