The best restaurants in Maynooth

06/12/2025: Lovely restaurant and wonderful food, thank you 🌟

23/11/2025: Always a lovely meal with friendly warm service. Food is consistently great, fresh and perfectly spiced.

18/05/2026: when booking a night out.. music.. it states it starts at 8pm... the doors open at 9PM.. the band comes on at about 10.30pm... we went on a 50 km trip with bus home at 12.15 am. we had to leave early as it started so late... we will not be doing it again....

09/05/2026: I had a small group party in there, pints, food, atmosphere was amazing. But the best part of all are the staff! God, they are marvellous friendly, love them all! Clayton

05/05/2026: I started to like going to this place until I went with two friends and one of them was discriminated for wearing a non-sleeved top. We were just enjoying the sunlight and the owner sent a message via one of the staff members. I felt very disappointed that this mindset is a thing here in Ireland. I did not expect that!

17/04/2026: Nice old style pub in Maynooth, Co Kildare, R.O.I

19/05/2026: good place, nice food. bit too pricey

14/05/2026: The restaurant is lively and beautifully set up. I recently got a take out and the food was bland. I got the chilli and basil Chicken (instead of beef as what's on the menu) and it was terrible. The chicken was overcooked and the rest was just bland! €16 for a small portion of tasteless food. Will not be going back.

19/01/2026: My husband and I were here yesterday, Sunday. The food was delicious and the service excellent. We'll be back soon!

06/01/2026: Lovely night spent in Donatellos last Saturday night. We were a party of 10 and we were made feel so welcome by every staff member, there was an overall inviting, warm, friendly atmosphere, the food was amazing and service was exceptional. We would highly recommend Donatellos.

26/08/2025: The old man employee (not sure if he's the manager or what) is just as rude as many of these other reviewers have said. I met up at the cafe today with a friend to do some work after lunchtime. My friend ordered a coffee, but I had already eaten, so I did not order anything. After a while, the employee chastised me for not ordering anything and said, "We're not an office." No, you're a coffee shop in which people regularly take their time to do some work on a laptop! The restaurant was about 2/3rd empty at this time. There was PLENTY of available seating, and I did not see ANYONE waiting for a table. I'm sure the owner is going to give the same reply that they need to facilitate turning over tables, but that response holds absolutely no water when the restaurant is mostly empty. Owner, you need to stop making excuses for this rude employee. Though I did not order anything today, I have eaten at the bistro in the past, so I have contributed to their business. But I will never, ever return after being treated so rudely. That employee just hurt his business' long-term profits rather than increase them. Do not be short-sighted and isolate customers when there is no need.

21/08/2025: Tasty cakes and amazing service!
