The best restaurantsof irish in Ballina

15/09/2026: Delighted to see lots of gluten free/Coeliac Friendly menu options.

09/09/2026: Really exceptional food and service. If you visit Ballina do stop and taste their fare.

03/09/2026: Let's talk about the turkey and ham lunch. I never know turkey can taste so juicy and soft. The turkey and ham are sliced thick, so we get a good bite in every mouth! Gravy is rich. I would say the whole dish has a rustic and traditional taste. Best of all we got 3 scoops of mash potatoes! We got croquettes instead of the usual roast potatoes. Honestly, blissful after a full meal here. Definitely living up to its name as a family restaurant. We also had the tuna melt, felt like they put a whole can of tuna for the sandwich. Bit more than 16euros for the turkey and ham, definitely bang for the buck.

01/09/2026: Absolutely loved The Junction. The apple pie with warm custard and ice cream was proper comfort food — homemade, generous and absolutely delicious. Exactly the kind of dessert you hope for when you order apple pie. Great food, warm and fast service and a lovely atmosphere. One of those places that just does the simple things really, really well. Five stars across the board and well deserved!

10/08/2026: Basic room, but had everything needed. Staff was very responsive. Breakfast was awesome. Irish breakfast is big enough for two. Lively pub with lots of local patrons. Would be a great place for those looking for a pint of Guinness after a day of travel.

13/07/2026: First class in every way, food, drink hospitality and friendly brilliant. An example of a good establishment.

11/04/2026: Ate here a few times when staying in Ballina. The food is good with big portions. Owners are gossips though. They are very nosy and talk about customers which isn't professional
