The best restaurants in Maynooth

08/03/2025: Been in a few different times, staff are always so polite and helpful. Pastries and coffees are delicious.

27/02/2025: The coffee and the carrot cake was fab. From talking to the owners they plan on making a drive through soon, hopefully in the couple of weeks. Best coffee in Manooth…believe us we’ve tried a few 😊 Baby friendly. Plenty of buggy parking, which is something we always find hard to get. They plan on setting up a similar thing to the play house cafe, where they’ll have baby, kid friendly toys etc. definitely worth a visit 🥰 DOG Friendly 🙌🏼

21/03/2025: Wonderful food, atmosphere and service.

09/03/2025: We had a lovely experience yesterday on on International Women’s Day. The drinks were good, but the food was absolutely amazing. The seafood platter is a must, Seafood risotto was a bit too much al dente for my taste, but it was very good as well. I wish they had Dirty Martini in the cocktail menu. The kids meal is huge, but we brought home anyway., so it was a win.

02/03/2025: Visited the Zambrero, I had a fantastic experience with Grace today when she helped me with my takeaway food order. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure my order was just right. Her customer service skills were top-notch, and she made the entire process smooth and easy. I really appreciate her professionalism and warm attitude. Highly recommend!"

13/02/2025: Burrito was class, staff were lovely, atmosphere was ecstatic

10/03/2025: Great pub/Restaurant. We were in the bar on a Thursday night. We enjoyed a great meal. Very good service, great food. There is a trad music session there every Thurday night. Great music & musicians. They were a lovely bunch of guys and really add to the atmosphere of the pub!!! Will definitely be back on a Thursday night to hear the music and have a drink!

23/12/2024: Great pub, It's 5 years since I last posted, but this place has gotten even better. The staff are sublime at every level, the food too, simple proper food. Indeed last week I was with my two golf buddies and they had the bacon and cabbage with all trimmings.......fantastic place. And dancing in the bar too on a Sunday....be prepared for good food, great staff and dancing 🕺 😋

17/03/2025: Small place but the pizza is a bomb of Italian delicacies. Really good Lorenzo who knows how to entertain as well as doing his job very well. Excellent pizzas. You'll have to try😊🍛🍕

06/03/2025: Great food and people, but it could be a bit cleaner.

09/04/2025: Delicious burger. Consistent and professional staff. Nice venue

05/04/2025: my tens!! Both the burger and the potatoes were brutal, plus the attention and speed was unbeatable

10/04/2025: Lovely meal. I asked for "extra extra extra spicy," and I got it. Enjoyed every bit of it with beautiful serenading music in the background.

30/03/2025: Food was lovely staff very friendly surprisingly quiet for Sunday afternoon

19/03/2025: Have been to the Avenue a number of times for occasions. The food here is lovely and the staff very friendly. Would recommend.

15/03/2025: Went out for a work event at the Avenue and was really impressed, I live in Dublin and have been to many restaurants, this was by far the best one I have been to in quite a while. Food was amazing, started with the prawns and had the beef for main, followed by the brownie for desert. The zero Guinness wasnt bad either The staff were brilliant and catered to our every need. Well done the Avenue,

28/03/2025: Good place for a coffee or lunch

22/03/2025: Sásta is always a favorite. I love the vibrant, hip atmosphere with its abundance of plants and rustic furniture. The food is consistently great, especially the burger on the menu. At €18, it’s on the pricier side, but definitely worth it. They elevate the classic burger with a garlic mayo and onion chutney, and the chips are perfectly crispy. It’s a generous portion and full of flavor. I’ve never been to a place that offers such a wide variety of coffee options. Each time I visit, I try something new. Today, my mother had the Ube latté, which was both visually appealing and delicious. If I had to mention one downside, it would be the noise level, which can get quite loud—though it’s understandable given that it was lunchtime on a Saturday. I also love the sweet touch of the kids' pictures in the waiting area.

24/03/2025: Their crab soup just brings you back from the dead. 😁

23/03/2025: The food in Orient is absolutely delicious, everyone I've been there with has loved it. The service is always top notch. It's priced slightly lower than average and is definitely better than average. It's spotlessly clean everywhere. Highly recommended.

17/09/2024: All I can say is Heavenly! We ordered a carrot cake from L'Art du Chocolate for our friend's birthday and it was truly the most divinely gorgeous carrot cake any of us had ever had!! From the smooth chocolate mixed into the icing poured over the delectable cake filling topped with beautiful writing was the best birthday present we could have given her!! Just incredible! Thank you❤️

30/07/2024: Best latte i have had in ireland and I'm Aussie

15/04/2025: Food beautiful and staff so lovely

12/04/2025: The food and service were very good, the decor is a bit dated and needs a refresh

28/03/2025: Excellent food and service with Friendly staff always willing to help. I would recommend Brady’s bar and bistro for quality food and service.

19/03/2025: Arrived at the door with my girlfriend, asked for id as standard procedure and after verifying and accepting her passport and taking a look at mine i was told that I needed Irish id and that I looked too young in my Passport photo to be let in. This whole situation could have been easily prevented by simply allowing me to enter with my valid id but no they insisted on making ignorant comments about my nationality honestly disgusted and didn’t think this low of Brady’s as this is NOT my first time being here but it WILL be my last

08/03/2025: The restaurant looks and feels lovely when you walk in. The staff are attentive and nice too. Our requests were perfectly met. The food however felt rushed and lacked the kind of flavour that would have you rushing back again. My Calamari (very nice) was served on top of raw onion chunks and rocket with little to no dressing on it. Yes, the calamari was nice but why bother with the rest of it? My Chili beef was also nice but there was way too much of it. The dish lacked any sort of nuance. You’d expect cooks and chefs to understand portioning. But have way through I knew I was going to leave a large amount behind and want sure if desert would be possible. None of this means it was a bad experience. We had a nice time and we ate well. The restaurant kitchen just lacks a little polish that would get you the top marks.

26/02/2025: Typical thai food. Green curry was good, it will be great if more vegetables. chicken satay was below average as I dont taste anything in chicken, it was deep fried and cover with peanut sauce. Overall isnt that bad to take out from 5 stars

29/10/2024: An excellent place for a coffee if you're waiting for your distillery tour or you just want somewhere to pop in of an afternoon. Excellent coffees, very fresh and delicious baked goods and a nice selection of savoury stuff if you fancy a spot of lunch.

21/10/2024: Nice place to relax and have a coffee. Right next to the teeling distillery.
