The best restaurants in Limerick

30/05/2026: To be honest, this cafe has it all. Friendly, attentive staff that help to create a great atmosphere within. Fabulous location. Dog friendly. Don't forget the coffee and desserts! The best coffee and desserts that I've ever had to be honest. The important thing here is the fact that MIA are totally consistent in all the fantastic things that they provide. Thank you to the staff and all concerned.

05/05/2026: Firstly I do understand how stressful a Bank Holiday like Riverfest is in hospitality, so I want to be fair upfront. When ordering I said twice that my order was to go. The cashier was visibly stressed/preoccupied and likely not listening. He asked me straight after I paid if it was for here or to takeaway. I said takeaway again, after just saying it's to go before paying. I noticed the person behind me had to also confirm their order more than once too. It's fine. It's busy out. Not the end of the world. My issue is a few mins later the muffin came out on a plate, and he calls it out as "for here." Nobody moved for it so I went up, asked it was mine and if so said it's for takeaway. He muttered "you asked for it for here actually" and turned away without even looking at me. So rude, especially with a queue of people able to hear. I just ignored it and waited for my coffee. Few mins later then same thing happened with the coffee when it was called "for here" too. When I explained the mix up to the barista she got snarked at by the same guy who was in earshot to "just make another one" and whispered something under his breath about me. Just odd altogether. No need for taking a bad day out on customers or the people working alongside you. If you make a mistake it takes less effort to just own it and move on. Not even trying to be overly negative but the muffin was stale on top of all that. Like a rock in the centre. Had to bin it. Absolute misery of an experience 💀

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!

29/06/2026: Nice pub, food & music here.good for parties or events

23/06/2026: Always lovely food at Bobby’s! The staff here are great too, super friendly. The coffee is pretty good too. Would recommend if you’re in the area!

15/06/2026: Had a great stay at your hotel. Just a couple of things that I would have pointed out as it seems you are doing some substantial renovations to your leisure center, it would have been nice if that was noted somewhere as for example both the sauna and steam room were not available, the changing rooms are actually outside the building and not everyone would feel comfortable with that. I didn't see any "sorry for the inconvenience" sign or anything similar at reception or at the leisure center and it was not communicated when I checked in. Just a suggestion, overall all good

15/06/2026: The hotel is nice and service was good. The room had black mould around the window and a broken dresser. The was very loud music playing that prevented me from sleeping so I would not stay in this hotel again.

23/06/2026: Glasses are filthy!! Food & selection of drinks is good tho

09/06/2026: Such a wonderful, traditional pub. We loved the interior with so much attention to detail and so much to look at and many different rooms to sit in. The beer is good, service is friendly. We didn't eat here, therefore can't comment but would have loved to try. Unfortunately we ran out of time - maybe on our next visit. Certainly a place we would return to.

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!

01/05/2026: Moroccan chicken toastie was amazing! 😎

22/04/2026: Excellent cafe variety of foods friendly staff.situated on basement of Hunt Museum.With a view of shannonriver .so peacefull ideal place for bit of me time

07/07/2026: Lovely place. Very nice staff. Food was tasty. Expensive but tasty.

03/07/2026: The food was good but not amazong, especially considering the price. Very good service though.

18/06/2026: This was easily the worst shawarma I’ve had from this place. I came expecting the same quality that kept me coming back, but instead I got what felt like a lazy wrap with almost nothing inside except lavash, chicken, and cheese. No balance, no flavour, no proper filling, and absolutely none of the ingredients that used to make this place stand out. The quality was so different that I honestly thought it must have been a different chef. Whoever prepared this shawarma today clearly didn’t care about what was being served to the customer. It’s especially frustrating because I know this place is capable of making great food. I’ve had excellent shawarma here many times before, so the problem is clearly not the restaurant itself but whoever was preparing the food today. Today’s shawarma was simply unacceptable and a complete waste of money.

03/06/2026: Very good food. It’s really hard to find healthy and tasty food, this place has both, also service and prices were good, I recommend it.

15/05/2026: A wonderful place to stay. Very clean and the staff was amazing! The front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast had a great variety of foods to choose from. I love that they served breakfast until 10 for those of us that sleep in :-). The views were beautiful despite overlooking the scrape metal yard. The restaurant food was ok. Nothing incredible but was good. You can walk to pretty much anywhere. Will definitely stay there again.

08/05/2026: Exceptional hotel, great location, and friendly staff. The breakfast buffet is excellent!

14/06/2026: One of the best places in Limerick. Proper spice bag. The woman behind the counter is very friendly.

05/06/2026: Great value for money. We got the share munch box, absolutely full to the brim. Woman behind the counter was so lovely, and it’s great that they’re open till late. Would highly recommend.

12/07/2026: Great Limerick pub and a tasty toastie

11/07/2026: The best local in Limerick, serving possible the best Guinness in the city.

22/06/2026: This is a cute little coffee shop that was close to our hotel. The coffee was delicious and was made by hand (not just buttons on a machine). The woman that was working was friendly. There is very little space inside and the only tables available are outside (some are under a covering).

25/04/2026: Popped in today for a cappuccino and it was fabulous, could even be the best coffee in Limerick plus friendly staff 😃

17/07/2026: Yesterday, my friend and I went to eat there. We waited outside for a few minutes until someone told us to sit wherever we wanted. We waited and waited... The man I assumed was the manager (an Italian) accidentally kicked my chair, apologized from a distance, and still didn't give us a menu. We looked for options on the QR code. The same person brought someone else in. He offered them water, gave them a menu, and we at the next table got nothing. So we decided to leave and have dinner somewhere better. There were only four people working and no more than ten tables, so I can't explain it. The service was truly awful. I had been there with my husband before, but obviously, never again.

14/07/2026: Food is lovely but abit expensive on what your getting

30/06/2026: Visited on a Saturday afternoon, recommended by a girl in B&Q. Staff very pleasant, tables clean , service really fast, food 10/10 , price surprisingly good value.

29/06/2026: Great coffee and lovely staff - enjoyed our visit.
