The best restaurants in Maynooth

25/04/2026: Very goos place for an easy night out

23/04/2026: Super restaurant, food is fantastic, service is excellent and the place is spotless. Never disappoints.

23/04/2026: Really nice atmosphere, great ambiance, nicely done interior, and a good overall vibe for a nice relaxed meal. Service was also solid. That said, the vegetarian options are extremely limited, which was disappointing. For the price range they’re operating in, you’d expect at least a couple of proper, well-thought-out veggie dishes rather than just one token option (or having to modify things). If they expanded the vegetarian menu even slightly, it would make a big difference. But overall a really nice restaurant if you don't have dietary restrictions.

21/04/2026: We went for the lunch as was advertised outside €17.95 for 2meals, but when we sat by our table’s menu prices were different €18.95 for 2meals. I find that misleading for customers. Otherwise then that atmosphere and service was perfect. Its high-class restaurant with excellent presentation and quality of food. Definitely food made not by ordinary chef. I would highly recommend this place to visit if you’re food gurman of Mediterranean, but don’t bring your kids or teenagers with you. Better send them next door straight away...

27/11/2025: Fabulous cuppa café siempre always

11/11/2025: Great coffee by great people in Maynooth & Mullingar!

20/04/2026: Everthing is good,absolutely everything, the Pub atmosphere, the drinks, the pub food and especially the Restaurant food, absolutely value for money. The Staff however are extra special, go and you'll understand, extremely friendly and extremely professional. Overall 11 out of 10. Well done all.

05/04/2026: 5 stars 🤩 We had a fantastic time. An amazing burger and service that warms your soul… that's what life is all about at Cunningham's Bar 🫶

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.

23/12/2025: regular visitor here, staff always helpful and friendly and food never disappoints

23/12/2025: Amazing value for lunch. Service was top notch!

02/04/2026: Food is decent but they use wooden cutlery, which is unfortunate considering I was sitting in. The staff are helpful but forgot our drinks and weren’t customer-facing when we went to the till to pay.

26/03/2026: Food really not as good as it is hyped up to be. Service was not great either. Would not recommend for the price. They don't even come to the table to take your order but the website asks for a tip many times?!!?!!

21/09/2025: Fantastic place with great service. Very busy place , that shows its popularity. Kid friendly place. For the money the portion of food is also more than adequate. Really enjoyed. People queuing to get a seat, but we got it in 5 minutes.

09/09/2025: Sásta in Maynooth has incredibly delicious food. It's especially good for vegetarians and vegans. The vegan breakfast is gorgeous. I would do anything for that turmeric hummus! Everything here is prepared from scratch. You can taste the difference. Give it a go!

30/04/2026: Genuinely best pub in maynooth. Jamie and Rebecca are the best, they make you feel so welcome . Food and drinks are spectacular ! Everyone needs to come. Guinness class.

30/04/2026: We have been coming here for the past year, the food and staff are amazing and consistently good every time we come in. The owner Jamie and the managers, especially Rebecca are always so accommodating and friendly. 10/10 best pub in Maynooth for food and drinks

29/09/2025: Staff were very friendly and food was really good

29/09/2025: Was recommended a big toasted burrito by the staff and it was delicious! Will definitely be coming back

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.

27/12/2025: We reserved a table for 2 with our dog on Christmas Eve. Food was super - blueberry and lemon drizzle pancakes and a cooked breakfast with homemade sourdough. The staff are so pleasant and there was a lovely buzzy atmosphere. One of the genuinely great spots to eat in Maynooth! Wish more restaurants and cafes in Maynooth were dog friendly, it’s very much appreciated to be able to sit inside in winter! We will definitely be back.

20/12/2025: Food is always top Tier! Baristas and staff are great love coming into the shop in maynooth! Coffee was nicer when you had the le heron Brazil on but I appreciate the coffee that’s on bar now because of the background on it.

17/03/2026: Rude bar staff would not recommend

09/03/2026: A Quite Breakfast Great large Breakfast With A great Pot of Tea and more if needed more Very Pleasant Bar Lady with a friendly smile, clean polished pink nails, clean hands, hair tied up as you'd expect- serving us both ( A chap fro Co. Meath & a Chap from Co. Kilkenny ).

30/04/2026: Like always, steak was delicious, portions big. Recomended

29/03/2026: Clean plates for everyone - a compliment to the chef! The variety on the menu was tested by our party of 17 - from teriyaki salmon to duck, pasta, cajun chicken, stirfry and pasta dishes and even lamb meant there was something for everyone. We were very well looked after by Roisin and Theo (thanks for taking our photos). We will be back :-).

19/10/2025: Lovely food and helpful accommodating owners

03/10/2025: Great vegan options. Everything was fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour. The owners were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming.
