The best restaurants in Limerick

10/05/2025: The best coffee shop in limerick and the best French toast I’ve ever tried, try to add some bacon and you make the perfect Mach

06/05/2025: Visited Esquires for late lunch after the Limerick Great Run. Unfortunately they were out of most of the dishes on the menu (probably because of the crowds). We had to get the chicken chorizo sandwich. The sandwich was huge, so quantity was not an issue. The combination of chicken and cheese was also delicious. However the sandwich was a bit dry, too toasty. The chips we got as a side were also good. Didn't get any coffee. The seating is good and comfortable. The staff is great. Had heard really good reviews about this place (and food). Will visit again to try the other dishes.

17/05/2025: The live music was great, as was the friendly service.

16/05/2025: Dolan's is a wonderful traditional Pub!

06/06/2025: We were here last year while on a trip to Ireland and I should have written this review sooner, but I just wanted to say we really enjoyed their gluten free fish & chips and cottage pie! Yum! Also the atmosphere here was very nice and just what you'd expect from a proper old time Irish pub.

20/05/2025: Great bar People very friendly Guinness was very good too

12/05/2025: Friendly staff 👌 Pizza was great 😊

10/05/2025: Good service, good food. Pizzas were delicious.

09/06/2025: Had a beautiful lunch here. The vegetarian platter was made to suit our choices - beautifully presented - so fresh and tasty. The staff were so friendly too - we couldn't have asked for anything better after exploring the city on our day trip. Simple food with great flavours!

26/05/2025: We were looking for somewhere for dinner on a quiet Monday night in Limerick but didn't fancy a typical burger or chicken establishment. We found this restaurant on Google maps and decided to give it a try. It was quiet so the service was great. The food was incredible! I would highly recommend the mezze.

09/05/2025: Called in for breakfast, welcoming staff, fast service, super breakfast and very reasonably priced. Definitely go back next time I'm in Limerick

30/04/2025: This place has been a favourite for years! The food is consistently good - the Cajun chicken salad is so delicious!! Their desserts are all home made and very hard to resist! Staff are always helpful and nice. Even if you don't get a table straight away - it's always busy at lunch time - don't give up! The queue moves quickly and it's definitely worth the wait.

06/06/2025: Stupendous selection of Irish whiskey, from a majority of very reasonable, normal prices to a selection of rarer bottles too. Many discoveries to be made.

10/05/2025: Straight after moving to Limerick, Ireland, Mother Mac's have made me feel like this is home. The beer selection is second to none, with rotating taps celebrating local and national beers, and a fantastic selection of local beers. The staff however are the cherry on top. So wonderful, friendly and full of recommendations and advice, they really make the pub what it is. Sláinte!

16/05/2025: There was a misunderstanding about what I had ordered today and they immediately took it back and made the order I initially ordered, nice food and very friendly staff and would definitely recommend this cafe.

16/05/2025: Mini breakfast. Lovely. Traditional Irish breakfast. Fast service, decent coffee.

08/05/2025: Amazing music, only a 15 minute wait when they were short of staff and I ordered a feast, also the service was so stellar! Doublechecked the order, made sure I got everything, and threw in an order of plantains for free. The food was piping hot all the way home and packaged so well, everyting was wrapped up to not spill. The food is as authentic as it gets! The proper amount of spice and all! Very reasonable prices as well! The portions are quite large!

14/04/2025: If you are in Limerick, you will need to make this spot a staple. The food here is INCREDIBLE! If you want tasty, spicy and utterly delicious go no further. The jollof rice was unreal! The staff are also fabulous. Had a great chat with the server who gave me extra spice when I asked for it and it was perfect!! I will 100% be back. 😍

25/05/2025: Great plaxe to grab lunch and have a few drinks. Clean place and very nice atmosphere . Good service. Order burgers and they were very tasty.

20/05/2025: Few pints on Saturday outdoors. Sunny day. Couldn't get seats on footpath so we're on smoking area. Trad music on inside, cold beers , watching world go by. Couldn't fault it ..lovely bar.

20/05/2025: Terrific little cafe. Had breakfast here. Food and coffee was great

10/04/2025: Unfortunately they don’t serve waffles anymore at all. Which is why we went there. But the scones and other food are good. I do wish A Lot that they served waffles even one day a week as I have not found anywhere in Ireland that serves decent American style waffles

05/06/2025: We visited Cornstore, for the first time, to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and unfortunately, our experience was far from what we had hoped for. From the very beginning, the service was deeply disappointing and unwelcoming. One staff member in particular, D…, was remarkably unprofessional and discourteous. When we inquired about a specific dish we had seen featured in multiple photos and videos on Cornstore’s official Instagram account, D… responded with an unnecessarily aggressive tone, stating — quite shockingly — that he could “swear to God” that such a dish had never been on the menu. This statement was not only inappropriate but directly contradicted the restaurant’s own promotional materials, making the experience feel misleading and verging on false advertising. We had arrived with the intention of enjoying a full evening: starters, main courses, desserts, and wine. However, due to the unfriendly and dismissive manner in which we were treated, we felt deeply uncomfortable and considered leaving shortly after being seated. This was meant to be a joyful celebration, but the attitude of the staff — particularly D… — completely overshadowed any potential the evening had. Sadly, I cannot recommend Cornstore to others. The service does not match the image portrayed online, and the overall experience did not live up to the reputation the establishment seems to enjoy.

02/06/2025: Good food, friendly service, normal prices. Really recommended

14/06/2025: Emma served our friends very well, we loved the place and the kindness, we will definitely return.

11/06/2025: Great establishment, and top notch service from Emma, Gio and Kaitlyn. Will be back again.

03/06/2025: Best brunch spot for all of our special occasions! The best food in town

01/06/2025: Lovely birthday breakfast treat with my daughter

23/05/2025: My first visit to Ireland and it's been a great time so far. My friends and I wanted to find a great, local restaurant and we found Freddys! The food was delicious and the service was friendly and professional. Exposed stones and low lighting created a cozy atmosphere. We had the opportunity to meet the owner, Freddy, who was an absolute delight! If I ever find my way back to Limerick, I will surely find my way back to Freddys.

22/05/2025: Staff are friendly, great service. The food was delicious and a lovely atmosphere there. Met the owner and I think it’s always a good sign when the owner is working amount the staff supporting service. I always try to get a booking while in Limerick - one of the nicest restaurants in Limerick
