The best restaurantsof irish in Ballina

15/03/2025: This is a MUST place to go if you are in Ballina! The food is beyond excellent, the portion size are very big and generous, super tasty and delicious food and the menu is super diverse so there’s something for everyone’s taste. Will definitely come again!

14/03/2025: Don’t skip the fish pie! And this spinach pastry thing was amazing as well.

15/02/2025: One of my favourite places to eat. Good food and atmosphere without being over-stated. Best to arrive a bit early as the line can go out the door and down the street during busy times, still it's well worth the wait to get a table at The Junction.

11/02/2025: My family and I had the most wonderful dining experience, excellent hospitality and good food

02/02/2025: This place is very slow took ages to order food and waited ages for it to arrive when I said to the owner he got angry wouldn't be in a rush to come back to this place very bad service

02/02/2025: Meal was quite tasty but could have been hotter

10/02/2025: Myself and a few others had breakfast here this morning.. Food was ok, but the service wasnt fantastic. Took ages to get milk and a few sachets of sugar (to be thrown down) for tea and coffees.. and then there was a lady with blonde hair with a fringe and glasses behind the bar was quite snappy with us when we were paying. Personally staff arent very nice, and go else where in future. But to the red haired girl, absolutely lovely that took our order. Bit of customer service training wouldn't go astray lads!

28/01/2025: A great place to stay. Huge, very comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. Nice touches in the room. An impressively concise pre arrival text with parking and door code details. Lovely breakfast.

15/02/2025: A week after the ferocious storm which had been on 25 January we went for a ride out to the coast as it was a very sunny, if slightly cool day. Late afternoon we drove to Ballina and thought we'd eat at the Ballina Manor hotel. What an exquisite place!. Lovely sumptuous carpeting and furnishings with dining tables set alongside windows affording lovely views of the river, bridge and the town. The meal was excellent. Very large portions, served hot and with the steak cooked to our liking. The service was excellent too. We cannot wait to eat there again.

04/02/2025: From the minute I arrived at the Ballina Manor the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and top marks for cleanliness. They all deserve recognition for excellent customer care, you're not a number here, the personal touch in every aspect of my stay.

08/01/2025: Top class menu and service, and the food was off the scale good.............. simple done extremely well! Six of us had a great starter, lunch and dessert and had a great afternoon, thank you! We'll be back

29/12/2024: We went to this restaurant on a busy Saturday - a party of 21 with no reservation. The staff quickly sorted us with tables and we enjoyed a delicious meal and drinks. Very friendly and attentive servers - thank you!

01/03/2025: Very Disappointing Experience. My partner and myself stayed here for one night. On arrival to our room we were greeted with the most horrible smell from the bathroom drains which was overpowering for our entire stay. The bath was also dirty and rusted. We were left some stale biscuits in a jar in the room which we enjoyed looking out at the view through our dirty windows. We paid an extra 60 euro on arrival to use the leisure facilities. Surely for the price of the run down rooms this could have been included as it's the only draw to the property. I put on my robe and managed to get it tied up although all the loops had been torn off and went to the thermal suite. The suite is nice we enjoyed it but I think paying for it with the crazy room rates is a bit much. The evening restaurant lacks any atmosphere. It's like eating in a quiet airport bar and lacks any personality. We ordered our food and the starters were nice. The waiter brought our mains to the wrong table and left the man on the table beside us to eat my partner's steak while the rest of us had nothing. My food was brought back to the kitchen. They rushed my partner's medium steak and it came out rare, unrested and leaked all over the plate. My duck was at this stage dry, cold and horrible. Desserts were not nice. Dry tough pecan pie and a hard jelly like pana cotta. Not good enough when claiming high standards. Breakfast was fine but very slow and the food was just not great. Using the run off juice off the berry compote and putting it in a shot glass and calling it a super health shot was embarrassing and it's just not nice. Cutting corners and missing the small details will only last so long with those rates being charged. The restaurant is a soulless shambles. We would never recommend this place and will never return. No value whatsoever. Very disappointed with The Ice House.

26/02/2025: Only popped in for lunch. Delicious. A nice treat during the week!
