The best restaurants in Louth

20/12/2025: Great little pub/ restaurant. We got a last minute booking for 4 of us and I had never eaten here before but I was not disappointed. The food was amazing and the portions are huge. The service came with a smile and friendly chat even though the staff were clearly on top of their heads. I will definitely be back soon.

08/12/2025: Great spot for food both during the week and for Sunday lunch. Not going to me tion my favourite in case it gets too popular.... well worth the visit.

23/12/2025: The experience was very good and staff were excellent

22/12/2025: Lovely food and very quick service

17/12/2025: What a lovely genuine tea rooms with the most delicious home made (how rare this is today) cakes, biscuits and muffins. Full of atmosphere and great friendly service. You couldn't get better!!

26/10/2025: Couldn't even go in due to their only accepting cash ('Cash Only sign outside). Very disappointing.

22/12/2025: Lovely food and atmosphere, we went for evening dinner, when we arrived it was quiet but it got busy as the evening went on, Food was lovely, tasty, very generous size portions. Desert was lovely. I got a lovely expresso martini, it was delish. Would like to come back for Lunch too. Would reccommend.

22/12/2025: A great place, good food, friendly, professional service. And the atmospheric interior... a homey atmosphere. I wanted to show my family what Ireland was like. This place was definitely a good idea for a taste of Ireland, both literally and figuratively – a taste of the Irish atmosphere.

30/01/2026: Incredible food, warm and friendly staff, cozy atmosphere. The best pizza in Louth. Don't miss this hidden gem.

22/11/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a fantastic meal at Nonna Nenne in Dundalk! We had a group of nine and every single one of us loved the food fresh, flavourful, and generously portioned. The service was warm and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. The whole experience felt like sitting down to dinner in a family home, relaxed and welcoming. Highly recommended!

22/01/2026: Lunch with family turned out to be rather disappointing. Ordered fish and chips & we were served two small pieces of fish as opposed to a full piece. Moreover, it was dripping in oil & the batter was soggy. At a cost of €18.50 that's unsatisfactory. Beetroot salad with oven baked vegetables....it was awful, greacy & tasteless! €13 - pricey! The sandwich ordered for a child was okay. Overall, disappointing & would not return.

03/01/2026: A fantastic 'destination pub' in Dundalk - terrific menu of delicious options, all served promptly by friendly staff. Wide ramge of beers, wines, cocktails and spirits for every taste and occasion, cannot recomnend highly enough! For us, the only thing missing was Marie, but we savour the memories

15/02/2026: Atmosphere, food and service were excellent

01/01/2026: I went with my friend for his birthday 🎂

24/01/2026: Very friendly staff, very attentive. We mistakenly reserved the wrong date, however the receptionist dealt with my error, exceptionally respectfully, and got is a room for the night. Thank+you souch.

23/01/2026: My wife and I enjoyed a return visit to Scholars Townhouse for an overnight stay. We enjoyed previous stays and many dining occasions and I'm happy to say that the food quality is as good as ever. We appreciated the warm welcome and environment, as it was cold and wet outside. We arrived early and were allowed to park on the grounds while we went shopping downtown. Our room was very cosy and comfortable. There was a problem with a noisey fan in the bathroom - the mount had become loose and rattled continuously. The problem was solved while we dined so we were not inconvenienced. Each staff member was friendly and professional. Christian appeared to be everywhere - in the bar, making cocktails, coffees and serving drinks, then in the restaurant serving meals, cleaning tables so we were very impressed by his work ethic and friendly demeanour. We slept well, although the room did become a bit too warm. Breakfast was memorable. Our server was very welcoming, polite, professional and attentive. The food was fresh and tasty. Checkout was easy and efficient (and possible to do it online, if desired) but it was not possible to leave a tip as part of the payment system. Our thanks to all the team members who contributed to making our stay so pleasurable.

10/02/2026: This place is pretty sugoi. I left feeling quite daijoubu. The atmosphere is very kawaii and nihongo. One thing I would like is more gluten free options onegaishimasu. They only had sashimi without soy sauce which I survived without salmonella but reminded me of the gelatinous glob they eat in saya no uta, dattebayo.

25/01/2026: Food was delicious. Great place to meet with friends.

28/12/2025: You will never be disappointed here the staff are fantastic the food is beautiful you will never be disappointed 💕

17/12/2025: Second time having a lunch with some colleagues here. Great food, served quickly by friendly attentive staff. Highly recommended. Thank you.

18/01/2026: I got the duck and it was very good but what feels like half the things on the menu were unavailable or different to the menu. It was very confusing and made it hard to choose what we wanted to eat.

16/01/2026: We had on amazing night here on New Year's Eve 2025, a beautiful meal in the restaurant served by very friendly staff, food was absolutely delicious. Then into the bar for drinks and I can honestly say the management and team are so so welcoming and friendly. Such a lovely clean bar, and so homly. For the new years celebrations every table was given large baskets of more delicious 😋 food I could not get over the generosity of the owners and we all partied the night away. Looking forward to returning ❤️

07/02/2026: Great place, the food is fantastic. Warm and Friendly atmosphere. This was my 2nd time coming and definitely will be back.

19/01/2026: Nice place friendly atmosphere, but make sure you go on payday! 6.50 for a small bowl of chips keeping the price in pounds

04/01/2026: The Square restaurant is head and shoulders above any restaurant in the North East of Ireland. The menu is unique, many levels above your normal restaurant. The food is simply outstanding and portioned perfectly. The service is first class also. Cannot recommend enough. Costs includes bottle of wine and cocktails.

27/11/2025: I’ve been meaning to try this restaurant for ages after hearing such great things from friends. I finally got the chance last weekend and brought my mum and I can safely say it did not disappoint. The meal was flawless from start to finish. The broccoli side was one of the nicest side dishes I’ve ever had and I’d return for that alone. The little truffles to end the evening were perfect. The staff were super friendly and Conor went around and checked on all the tables which was a lovely personal touch. I’ll definitely be back as there were so many things I wanted to try. Hopefully the spicy margarita will still be on the menu. 10/10

17/01/2026: Beautiful atmosphere and elegant surroundings. Friendly staff

09/01/2026: Classy elegant beautiful food in abundance 🙌🏻 A must for that memorable meal

12/01/2026: Absolutely amazing, you can't find better coffee place in that part of Ireland

16/12/2025: Best coffee and staff around the area 🤎
