The best restaurants in Maynooth

30/06/2026: Amazing restaurant, I always get the best quality food, the sushi is absolutely delicious and always fresh, other items in the menu are also delicious like the pork gyoza and the fried noodles. Their duck is also good but can be tender one day and too crispy and though the next, but usually it’s nice!

21/06/2026: Excellent food, great service. Would recommend a visit.

07/07/2026: Visited Bistro 53 Maynooth and the food genuinely blew us away. The sea bass was perfectly cooked with crispy skin, served on a beautiful risotto with a vibrant pesto sauce, absolutely stunning. The crispy pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth with a rich glossy sauce and creamy mash, just incredible. Both mains were easily 10/10. Desserts kept up the same standard, the tiramisu was classic and indulgent, beautifully presented with a coffee drizzle, and the sticky toffee pudding was warm, gooey, and sinfully good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Could not fault either. The atmosphere is decent and comfortable enough. Service was a little slow to get going at the start but the staff really came into their stride as the time went on and were genuinely lovely by the end. Overall a brilliant dining experience, the food alone makes it absolutely worth a visit. Will definitely be back!

05/07/2026: We came yesterday the food was amazing! My partner and son we all had starters, mains, shared desert and each course was impeccable. The Aranchini is beautiful, I had the tagliatelle with mushroom sauce and chicken probably one of my favorite dishes here along with there steak. Mihai hope his name is spelled right. Is lovely very professional with a warm and attentive manner. All the staff are very pleasant and professional. Compliments to the chef for the fab food yesterday.

19/04/2026: We had a wonderful meal here tonight, the burger was put of this world. Thank you for treating us so well.

05/04/2026: Connor, the barman at Avenue Bar and Restaurant, is absolutely exceptional. His mixology is incredible, his service is outstanding, and it is all topped off with the kind of personality every customer hopes for. Connor is the reason we became repeat customers. If his drinks were not already the star of the show, he easily would be himself. He has made several evenings truly memorable. Matteo also deserves a special mention. He is consistently welcoming, attentive and professional, and he adds so much to the warm atmosphere of the place. His service is excellent, and he helps make every visit feel smooth, relaxed and enjoyable. They are truly lucky to have him, and his contribution certainly does not go unnoticed. Andrew was an absolute pleasure to be served by. He was attentive, personable and eager to make sure everything was just right, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. What really stood out was the human touch in his service — we had such a lovely chat with him, and it was genuinely refreshing to be served by someone so warm and engaging.

30/06/2026: Delicious, healthy and fresh food! Always great for lunch or late breakfast

30/06/2026: Delivery took over 1.5hrs and not even an apology. The food was not edible by this stage and went straight to the bin. Will never order again . Wasn’t even busy they said when I rang. Disgraceful

27/06/2026: One of best place to dine in , food was amazing. Thanks

13/05/2026: Whole place smells like public toilets... Beef and chicken burgers burned - beef looks crispy but fried until chevy, chicken dry. Servers arent taking orders (online ordering from the menu qr code shows closed - opening next day).

01/05/2026: I really don't understand how many good reviews this restaurant has. Either people don't know what good food is, or the two times I went I was VERY unlucky. The first time the burger was okay, nothing special at all, just a regular burger. But I still wanted to give it a second chance, and it was worse because I found a hair stuck to the meat. I told the waitress what happened, obviously she didn't charge me for the burger, but it's impossible to go back or recommend this place. The staff are attentive and the atmosphere is pleasant.

09/11/2025: Food is nice but very pricey. €21 for some pizzas. One of the most expensive around

12/10/2025: Top class, really good pizza, and pasta. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

23/06/2026: Food was exceptional but service was so slow. It was Father's Day and bizarrely, the restaurant seemed understaffed. Manager apologised. Not much more he could have done. Worth the wait, if you can wait.

23/06/2026: Good and service are always great here!

07/06/2026: Had a lovely experience there on Friday. Asked one of the staff for some help with a wine purchase. She was more than happy to help. She went out of her way to make sure i got what I wanted, even though it was visibly busy. She was so kind and personable. She recommended that I come back again for food so I absolutely will. Food looks lovely but iv never tried. I asked her name as I was leaving but not exactly sure… olive or olivia. Anyways lovely staff here and will not hesitate to come back.

21/06/2026: My favorite Full Irish! Everything just perfect. Sandwiches and coffee other times of day are great.
