River Cafe
Dundalk
23/02/2025: Whilst doing some shopping in penny's we decided to try this place out. We are a family of 4. One of the best carvery around, I opted for pavaolva for desert and by God it went down a treat. The staff are so polite and welcoming also. Will defo be back
21/02/2025: Had breakfast here and food was nice and staff was lovley. Good portion size and priced very well. Easy to miss as it is in the back of the marshes where no one really goes. Go past the food court and past the barbers and you come across this gem. Seen they even have beer taps and wine menu if your having lunch and a cheeky jar. Would come back again.

The Smugglers Rest
Clogherhead
15/03/2025: Great mussels and scampi. Came in for lunch on a whim as I had a craving for seafood and wasn't disappointed. Would definitely pop by again
09/03/2025: We waited over an hour for food. It wasn't particularly busy. People seated after us got served before us. When the food finally came it was so bland and greasy. Definitely not worth the wait. We were about to walk out at one point when the waitress came to ask what sauce we wanted on the wings we'd ordered an hour ago. She assured us the food was ready to plate and would be out right away. It arrived 10 minutes later. Will not be back and would not recommend.

The Cross
Drogheda
05/01/2025: I love this place, the vibes, the tunes, the staff, iconic, immaculate! Updating this too cause I would highly recommend if one of your gang is the designated driver, as they've started doing mocktails and the Cuddle on the Beach was so good and very reasonably priced! Hoping they expand the mocktail range too but the cocktail range they have now is stunning should you be having a drink!
08/12/2024: Best bar ( drinking, dancing) I've ever been to in my life

Ma Bakers

07/03/2025: Lovely traditional Irish pub in Carlingford ,great atmosphere and live music Eoghan Murphy was outstanding!!! Great pint of Guinness and outside beer garden small but lovely . Well worth a visit
24/01/2025: Had an engagement party here, and it was an excellent venue! We had a private room to the back of the pub, with our own bar! The food was delicious and was excellent value for money.The staff were very helpful and accommodating. We then got the move to the front bar later that night to enjoy the music! Overall a wonderful experience, would definitely recommend!

Hunterstown
02/03/2025: Staff are great. Food is very nice. Good options for kids too. Small kids get free ice cream which is lovely touch but it's completely undone by the unnecessary and greedy charge of €3.25 for a jug of blackcurrant cordial for kids.
22/02/2025: Gorgeous pub/restaurant with loads of parking spaces. We had food in the lounge. Arrived around 3pm, and it was very quiet. Good variety on the menu, really tasty food and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Malt House

19/01/2025: Went here today with family food was excellent very tasty, with a wide variety of dishes on the menu. Staff very friendly and efficient, absolutely love the new menu and will be back
17/10/2024: Very very unhappy booked for a party of 12 rang 2 times that week to make sure everything was ok with the booking as there was a diabetic and children in our party.When arrived there was no chef not one staff member rang to notify me. This is not acceptable for a business and I wold not recommend this place to anyone. Will definitely not be going there anymore.

Bia Cafe
Drogheda
18/02/2025: Very Delicous food recommend for anyone who hasn’t tried it out best in drogheda
07/02/2025: Cafe Bia is an absolute gem of a diner. Loads of seating, friendly staff, and good food make this place a must visit if you're in need of a delicious, tasty meal. Loads of options and easy accommodations. If I were to make one standout recommended it is the Full Irish. This is the best breakfast in Drogheda by far!

Fergusons Bar
09/03/2025: Out for a nice walk today at Giles Quay and was peckish and we were heading to Carlingford lunch when we spotted Fergusons on the way out
Well we thought we’d try this place and it was the worst decision we ever made
Looked good on entry and there was a nice buzz inside. That’s where the niceties ended. We were seated and menus given out and drinks ordered, the Guinness was top notch, we ordered chicken wings for starters and they took 45 minutes to reach the table
They were just okay
Another 45 minutes later our main meals arrived, I got slow roasted beef with mash and vegetables my wife had battered cod with skinny fries and peas
We don’t usually review food but I feel that I must warn you to steer clear of this place
I don’t really know how to describe the beef dinner only to say that it was a massive plate of gooey mash with plenty of overcooked beef on top with lots of overcooked roasted potatoes and vegetables basically it was a plate of gooey mush
The fish dinner wasn’t a whole pile better
The service was very poor as I had to go to the bar myself on 2 occasions
We ain’t hard to please but this was the worst dining experience we have had in a very very long time
Steer clear
03/03/2025: Had heard good things about this bar/restaurant but was even better than we had hoped. The service was phenomenal. The staff literally couldn't do enough. Were attentive without being annoying and were so friendly. They made good recommendations and the food did not disappoint.
We had the seafood tacos and chicken kumbo for dinner. Both excellent. Portions are big but that didn't stop us ordering desert which was also delicious. Had the homemade tiramisu and cheesecake.
Could not fault the service and the location is so stunning. It was getting dark as we arrived but would definitely recommend a walk in Giles' Quay before/after visiting the restaurant. Will definitely be back.
