The best restaurantsof irish in Limerick

09/09/2024: Having been fishing down in Kerry the night before we stopped here whilst on our way to Co.Clare, friendly staff, and the place looked busy enough for a Sunday too. I had the baked salmon with lemon sauce, my friend had the turkey and ham, the salmon was nice and not overcooked, the creamy lemon sauce could have possibly had a bit more lemon added, friend said that one little edge of the turkey was a bit dry but the rest was perfect. Both came with mash potatoes and a side of cabbage and carrot and possibly turnip mash(I didn’t have any of that) I’m not sure how the coffee was made, but that is one area there could be an improvement. I know as soon as I asked for an americano and she replied “2 coffees” not to get my hopes up too high about that. But everything else was fine. We sat outside where it was nice and cool, indoors seemed quite warm to me when in there, which would have made eating a little uncomfortable for me, but that’s possible just me I guess.

21/08/2024: Great food! Stopped here on a whim and so glad we did. Peaceful atmosphere and great food. Servers were very nice and quick also. If you're in the area stop it's completely worth it

18/07/2024: Hier kun je heerlijk eten en drinken en is vriendelijk geprijsd. Meestal hoef je niet te reserveren, maar even vragen kan geen kwaad, anders ben je snel overgeleverd aan de wat goedkopere eettenten. We hadden al snel besloten hier iedere avond te gaan eten (3 avonden)

08/06/2024: Pleasantly surprised as had no great expectations.Lovely staff. Brie starter in filo pastry was light and very delicious. Cod goujons were nicely battered and perfectly cooked. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

28/07/2024: Toasties are very soggy and overpriced

15/06/2024: We got 2 teas and had sandwiches we got in the m&s store . Half way through we were told to stop eating it because it wasn't bought in the cafe but the shop 10 steps away. Very rude and idiotic rule . Not coming again . For those prices I'd expect better

12/07/2024: Excellent food and service. Tonight's menu was all Italian. The seafood pasta was off the charts!

31/01/2025: RIP OFF IRELAND IS ALIVE AND WELL IN ROSSLARE HARBOUR!!! My colleague and I visited the Garden Cafe yesterday. A young waitress approached our table with Breakfast Menus and enquired if we wanted Tea or Coffee, we ordered a Pot of Tea for Two. 2 Small Tea Pots duly arrived to the table delivered by our young waitress. The Manager then arrived and to take our food order. The place appeared clean, and the food was fresh and hot. No issues there. My tea soon ran out , and I asked the young lady for a Top Up. My colleague commented on the lack of Training, in that she did not enquire if he required a Top Up to his tea po, which he did. She duly delivered my Topped Up Tea Pot, and then my colleague asked if his teapot could also be Topped Up. His topped Up Tea Pot duly arrived and we concluded our meal. I approached the Till area and as the Manager approached the Till Area I complimented her on the tasty food we had enjoyed. She totted up the Bill and asked for €34.20. I felt that was incorrect so I challenged it with her. She then pointed out that Tea was charged as an Extra to the price of the Breakfast That meant that I was being charged €11.20 for essentially 4 Tea Bags and a pint of Hot Water!!! I felt that she would reduce this by 2 Teas , but no, she held her ground. At this point, my colleague proffered his Bank Card, and I assured him there was no need as I was in a position to pay the Bill. She asked if I wanted to include a Tip, which I did. I do hope the young waitress receives it. It is customery for years in most Cafe's in Ireland that Tea or Coffee be included in the overall price of the Breakfast, that you would only be charged extra of you ordered a Speciality Coffee like a Cappuccino for example. As we drove away from the Cafe, my friend and I discussed the actual cost for the Breakfast was €17.10 per person. It was the Tea at €11.20 that made the experience expensive and Overall poor value. I found the receipt in my wallet a while ago and I felt I should contact the Owner or Manager to discuss my experience. I outlined the simple facts of the occurrence and her reaction was defensive and rude talking over me as I spoke. It turned out that it was the Manager I dealt with yesterday at the Cash Register and she went on to say ' the sum involved would not break the Bank" She was in no way apologetic that I felt that I had been overcharged. She then asked what she could do "over the phone" . She could have apologized and offered to reimburse me the money, or offer Two teas Free at my next visit. However, she seriously Failed the Customer Service Attitude Test. I won't be troubling her with my business in the future. Before I finished todays telephone call, again I asked what she proposed to do about my Complaint. She made it clear to me that she was not interested in resolving the issue either today over the phone or yesterday at the Cash Register. Sadly, it is this subtle Price Gouging that gives Ireland a bad name as offering poor value for money. Fortunately within 5 minutes of the Garden Cafe there are many pleasant Cafe's where your patronage is valued and you walk away feeling that you got good value for your hard earned money!
