10/05/2026: Popped in for one last cocktail on a night out with my husband. Ricardo recommended the Cherry Smash....made with Jameson. It was delicious. Lovely ambiance, nice music inside and live band outside. Perfect for a night out.

16/11/2025: Amazing restaurant! Jollof rice was so delicious. Staff was super friendly. I will definitely come here again.

12/11/2025: Stands out with various tasty vegan options and great service.

26/04/2026: I went to this place with a couple of friends because it looks lovely. We ordered our food, the woman was not very friendly but we didn’t pay attention to it, went to our table and waited for the food and drinks. My friends ordered 3 lattes, with oat milk or cows milk and the woman at the till said it was ok. We were really confused when a waitress arrived at our table with 2 coffees and 1 latte. She checked and the woman at the till didn’t write the order correctly so the ticket said 2 coffees and 1 latte. We didn’t want to make it a problem, the waitress was really sorry and lovely so we said it was grand. She brought the food to everyone except myself, I knew it was being prepared I was not worried. Then, the woman who took our orders at the till came to our table, asked me what I ordered and when i answered she looked at me in the eye very seriously and asked me “are you sure you paid for this?” saying she didn’t remember me ordering it. I answered that I had paid for it and that there was no need to be that rude and straightforward for no reason but she had already left. The lovely waitress brought my food 2 minutes after this saying she was sorry. The food was terrible, the soup was cold and too salty i couldn’t eat it. The benedict eggs were bland, the scrambled eggs and the irish breakfast were just ok, and the vegetarian toastie was full of onions, we could barely taste the other ingredients. I wouldn’t recommend this place neither for the food nor the atmosphere, there are lots of lovely and good places in Limerick to have lunch, BowesRyan is not one of them.

22/01/2026: I visit this coffee shop regularly and it’s always a such a lovely experience. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is always excellent. Highly recommend!

14/05/2026: What a gem! I had such an enjoyable stay here earlier this week. It's certainly not your typical bland, business hotel but feels very special with beautiful decor as well as a friendly, professional and personal service. I loved the comfortable room and the little touches such as rosemary bathsalts and proper tea/coffee brought to the room as well as a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended.

06/05/2026: This is a little gem of a hotel! Stayed here for three nights and was very impressed. The room and bathroom were beautiful, guests drawing room very comfortable and peaceful for a quiet read. Breakfast and evening meal delicious. I didn’t try the spa but maybe next time? Staff in all areas were exceptionally attentive and friendly.

29/01/2026: Food was lovely, relaxed environment

22/01/2026: Ideal family meal with young kids. Kids menu had lots of options as did the adults. Quality of food was great. This is a great option for a Sunday family lunch. Will be back.

28/04/2026: Thank you to everyone at Vincenzo’s Grill today for presenting a birthday cake, everything was very smooth, and the delivery was excellent, top tier service

18/04/2026: Great food......delivered by professional staff

25/03/2026: My third visit to this pub in a few years, and it's always a pleasure; the place is welcoming, and the owner is great. It's become a must-visit whenever I'm in Limerick!

11/03/2026: Called in for breakfast and ordered full Irish which came with a big pot of tea. Top quality produce used, locally sourced. All around top notch. Offered top up of tea as well. All for € 12.90. Can't be bate. Will be back. Thanks to all the team front of house and the kitchen a very well run establishment. 👍

22/04/2026: Recently had our daughter’s christening. Food was high quality served by staff who showed not just a high level of detail but also made you feel welcome and looked after. We had a set menu for approx 50 people with a great variety of choice high quality food in a function area upstairs which we had to ourselves We would highly recommend this venue for any special occasion or if your looking for good food in a high quality establishment

12/04/2026: The food was INCREDIBLE! I had the pasta carbonara and my husband had the stir fry. The kids pasta and goujons were also great. Highly recommend the fried mushrooms too! Dennis was a great server, very attentive and polite! Freddie was also exceptional! Thank you!

04/05/2026: Terrible food. I understand why there was a line up at Soitjack next door. The nachos were runny with ballpark melted cheese. It was gross. Service sucked. They got the order wrong repeatedly. Overpriced.

03/05/2026: Good food. The service was EXCELLENT. The place was super busy on race day and everyone was still so friendly, accommodating, and on-point. We brought our grumpy chihuahua and they were so kind to my husband and I. Very much recommend!

05/04/2026: Disappointing… scallops with curry dressing, chicken with wasabi mayonnaise … why ?? Steak was tough but chicken was cooked lovely. Overall nothing special

03/04/2026: Food was ok, building is nice, but their rules about cancellation and how much you have to order left a bad impression. Staff didn't feel very welcoming compared to any other restaurant we visited in Ireland. On the day of our booking a member of our party wasn't feeling well so we considered cancelling, however the restaurant charges €50 per person if a reservation is cancelled with less than 48 hours notice so we went anyway as it would otherwise be a huge waste of money. The restaurant has a minimum order of one main course per person. With one person not feeling well and others not particularly hungry we considered sharing a couple of dishes and starters but staff re-confirmed that there was a minimum of one main per person or two starters per person. We ultimately got 4 mains, a single side to share, and a couple of glasses of wine bringing the bill to €169. Bit overpriced considering the dishes were were mostly just the meat and not much veg and no side included, and definitely a lot for a meal we would have preferred not to attend had we been able to cancel. Note that €50 per person to cancel would have been significantly more than our actual bill, which I think demonstrates how unreasonable that is for a cancellation charge. Overall we felt a little unwelcome (possibly due to us asking about minimum orders) and that staff were a bit pushy with trying to get us to buy bread, starters, sides, as if trying to get us to spend more money as opposed to just checking if we actually wanted something. The cancellation/minimum order rules bothered us. Bread cost €5.50 where most other restaurants we visited on our trip had included it for the table for free. The menu says "No cancellations or substitutions" and "We do not split bills" which makes it feel like despite their slightly higher than average prices they are strict and unwilling to make any effort to accommodate customers. Positives: Nice building inside and out. As it was my birthday they did provide a little birthday scoop of ice cream with a candle. We also noticed that they kept our water topped up throughout the meal.

06/01/2026: Incredible food, high quality ingredients that taste amazing...my absolute favourite restaurant.... beautiful, comfortable and a great atmosphere...you won't be disappointed... note - Pasta Giovanni is faultless 👌🏼

01/01/2026: We came for food for new year and it was amazing thank you.

15/03/2026: This place is incredible, every single time I go here, the food is good and so are the people. I got the French toast, on god, best french toast I ever had in my life. Highly recommend this place.

15/03/2026: Absolutely awful food, very dirty cafe and don’t even get me started with the toilets. Never coming back again.

13/04/2026: Wish I could give this place a 6. From last reviews I cannot understand comments re portion size etc. the food is rich, well balanced, beautiful and delicious. We arrived with our 7 month old and we were made feel very comfortable by Lorcan who was just an amazing host and cocktail maker. Best espresso martini I've had outside my own home! We are already looking forward to going back

13/03/2026: Been to The French Table many times over the years. The welcome has always been warm and the staff friendly. The food has always been excellent. It is my favourite restaurant in LimerIck. This time I had the crevettes in the most delicous seafood sauce, followed by the rabbit blanquette. Not only is The French Table rare in serving rabbit - but whatever iteration of rabbit cookery, it is always succulent & delicious. The chocolate mousse for dessert was lovely too. Relaxed vibes & you always feel taken good care of. Standards have never dropped..

26/03/2026: Absolutely unreal. The fish and chips are the best I’ve had in years, and the curry sauce is on another level—never tasted chippy sauce like it. Prices are incredibly reasonable. Genuinely worth the drive to Limerick just for this place.

31/12/2025: Homely, welcoming, lovely staff, great service to the community and food always superb. Thank you
