The best restaurants in Limerick

15/04/2026: Since last review below 👇 I have been here lots of times and food is very good.. but unfortunately service still needs to be better . Today wed 15th April. Lots of staff but all talking to eachother or to people they know eating there. I'm no normally in a hurry but today was terrible again. From what I heard from the conversations one of there other places is closed for renovations. So maybe that's why there was lots of staff.. but I was showing to table with a menu. A nice who's only job seems to be bringing the order to your table and taking away entry plates seem to be the only one working. Staff drinks coffee chatting at the bar . What approximately 18 min before having to call the girl that greeted me and showed me to the table to give my order. She said sorry to be fair to her. But this just isn't on . I seen another couple finishes their mains and looked like they ware looking for something else a dessert menu or possibly in order drink. After about 15 minutes I heard the lady said to your man come on let's just go...I know the owner to see here and when he's here he is buzzing around. Maybe when he's not he needs a good substitute.. sorry but they same issues keep happening over and over. Again today I would probably have had at least a coffee at the end of the first order was taken in a timely manner. 😔 Unfortunately i have to revise my great review from a few months back. It's still below. Unfortunately the staff are not been managed correctly. Last few times I've be there on quite evenings even though there's 4 staff on you will be finished your starter and have your empty plate in front of you for 15 /20 mins in my case last week and two weeks ago was much the same.. . And this was with staff walking by lots of times . In the end I had to call someone. But then I had to wait another 25 minutes for my main course. I would say because the kitchen ware waiting for the mains to be called away. Then when I finished my mains again after 10 mins of an empty plate I again had to call someone over ( the head Waitress i believe ) she took the plate away but I wasn't even asked if I wanted a Dessert coffee or anything and not even a dessert menu was not brought over to me so after 10 more minutes I got up paid my bill and left 2 things and this [ 1 ) the owner is losing out on extra money that would help pay bills and staff wages by not selling dessert/coffee. ( 2) it seems to me that the head Waitress/manager is not in control of the place ..people don't seem to have set sections... staff seem to go from 1 end to the other not noticing people that they did not serve the first time... the head waitress as most of us know should give staff set areas and she should float between them helping out and making sure things are going well . But she also seemed to be unaware of issues. I really hope they owners see this review because the food is normally good.. old review is below.... Food is lovely here . I have eaten a few times now and the standard is constantly good 👍we had honey Roast chicken and Chicken Maryland both fantastic .

08/03/2026: Very nice place with a great food. The staff were very friendly and respectful, very quick to make orders and the food was simply amazing. For sure I wanna back many times.

09/04/2026: I Love this Museum! It is small by comparison to others, but it is jam packed with absolutely beautiful artifacts. It is fully accessibile and extremely enclusive. They even have an area for people with visual disabilities to feel replicas of artifacts and listen to talks about them. It really is a credit to the staff. They have an absolutely gorgeous cafe, with some if the nicest staff you will meet. I really cannot recommend highly enough.

07/04/2026: Top floor was closed unfortunately but interesting museum probably abit over priced but still worth a visit to the collection

04/05/2026: Sunday lunch was fab..beautiful beef..Denis gave wonderful service…a memorable afternoon..

05/04/2026: Lovely hotel but poor service particularly in the bar area. There were 6 customers in the bar and 7 bar staff and yet I struggled to get the attention of any of the staff, poorly trained. The hotel and location is great and the breakfast is excellent with great service.

08/11/2025: This is the best Chinese restaurant I suppose in Limerick. I went here so many times with or without my friends. Pho is one of my favorite dishes here as well as fries! They probably change the chef. The pho I love the best wasn’t as flavorful as before. I now totally quit this spot.

06/11/2025: made me pay 30c for a to go box where is Mr Viko i am not happy with this great food lovely people

18/05/2026: Call in here when we're passing for food it never disappoints. The service is always great, friendly staff and you're never waiting long. I've had loads of things off the menu over the years and it's all very tasty.

03/05/2026: Very good food. Very fair prices.

11/05/2026: Went to a talk here in Castletroy park hotel, very comfortable, staff very helpful.

11/05/2026: Stayed at the Castletroy Hotel to do the Limerick marathon, also turned out very handy for the parkrun. Cannot fault the hotel in any way, the staff, the rooms, the food , the cleanliness all absolutely fantastic. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back, maybe not for a marathon next time!

16/09/2025: Value for money, friendly staff

13/09/2025: Small but super cute, went there on a late Saturday afternoon to read a book and got a place to sit, I imagine it would be very hard to find a seat at breakfast/lunchtime. The single seats are unfortunately high seats so a bit uncomfortable to stay longer then 30ish mins but I understand they're there to save on space. The coffee was nice and I got a super cute design, I also got a brownie and it was fab, not too sweet. Highly recommend

11/05/2026: Had a great night in Bobby Byrnes’ on the May bank holiday. Staff were so attentive and friendly. The food was lovely and had so much options available. The manager Niall couldn’t have been more accommodating. We will definitely be coming back!

11/05/2026: I would highly recommend Bobby Byrne's .We had a group for a hen recently. Niall in particular and staff were fantastic. The carvery was delicious with very good portions. Guinness also great. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere .fab music.lovely clientele.will definitely go again.Thank you for making our weekend very special. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

03/11/2025: Write to your Councilor about the ABHORRENT destruction of the parklet in front of this fine establishment! Help save CREW brewing! A curated rotating selection of craft beers brewed on location. Comfy and not terribly busy. Pints are ~50c-70c pricier than brand name beers in other pubs, but the taste is worth it.

31/10/2025: Great bar. Would love to see it stay open into 2026. As the outdoor area is being contested by limerick city council. A roof terrace would be a great way to keep the outdoor space alive.

11/10/2025: Nice chowder with soda bread, and delicious carrot cake.

11/09/2025: Very nice cafe Hearty breakfast Very tempting cakes I highly recommend

06/09/2025: Been here plenty of times Always a great brew

13/08/2025: Wirklich gutes Cafe, Shannon-Blick, toller Kuchen & Kaffee - wärmste Empfehlung! Very nice place overlooking the quay at the Shannon! Great cakes - the chocolate orange ball is a real treat, and the pear&almond tarte was yummi! Cappuccino was great, too. An extra star goes to the lovely waitress with german ancestors!

23/08/2025: Great pub in the heart of the city Staff make this pub Great pint ...very friendly crowd going here What more can you ask for...

17/08/2025: I didn't eat there but went for some Guinness and Irish whiskey, good selection and even better service, great people

22/04/2026: Great value for the price and what you get. Thank you Ford's!

09/03/2026: Fresh fish and chips with a can for €9. There was two pieces of fish with homemade chips absolutely fantastic value!
