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

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!

06/11/2025: Great authentic pizzas and Puglian style food - try it!

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.

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

16/12/2025: The Sunday roast was so delicious. The service was excellent and we were looked after very well.

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.

04/01/2026: Love this place, we always stay here , tea to the room freshly brewed, and good tea too, was in the minus ➖ degrees last night and the room was still so warm I had to open the window, we even got a tea and coffee to go , 5 star ⭐ all the way

01/01/2026: Had a lovely overnight stay with dinner bed and breakfast. Food was excellent. Service was fantastic and staff were warm and friendly. Would highly recommend this place. We will be back

26/12/2025: We were there for an occasion so it was a set menu but if that's the standard wow absolutely first class would I recommend definitely.

24/12/2025: Great food with a very nice clientele. Excellent value, very hard to find fault.

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.

30/12/2025: I’ve been eating in this place for so long and all I can say is that I simply love it, the food, the vibe, the staff (everyone is so kind and welcoming) my favourite food is by far Beef Ramen, but I also love Chicken Sushi Rolls and many many more, but as my comfort food I’ll always order a beef ramen.

08/11/2025: Food is absolutely delicious, lovely decor, Great service, great staff . Highly recommend

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

03/01/2026: I've been to this pub a number of times over the years to drink and to eat. Staff are always so so friendly and helpful. I have always got great drink and fantastic food. Always a great draught and wiskey selection and the menu is hearty good food with a great selection of fresh sea food.

03/01/2026: Popped in here over the Christmas break for some lunch. The chap at the bar was very friendly and welcoming and quickly sorted us out with a table. We sat down, and a young blonde waitress came over just as my partner had gone to the bathroom. I asked if she could come back in a few minutes, which she seemed somewhat put out by. After waiting around 10 minutes, we went to the bar to ask if we could order. A further five minutes passed before we asked a passing waiter, at which point the same waitress came over, visibly annoyed — as if expecting to order food was somehow unreasonable. The service overall from the waitress was extremely poor: stroppy, disengaged, and lacking even basic eye contact. This was particularly disappointing because the food itself was actually very nice. The initial chap at the bar clearly understood customer service, but his colleague completely let the place down. There was zero interaction when the food was handed over, and the overall experience felt completely disinterested. To top it off, we were left with the bill but no one came to take payment, nor were we told whether we should pay at the bar. All in all, a really poor effort in customer service, which unfortunately overshadowed some very nice food and nice atmosphere overall

28/09/2025: best coffee this side of the country

23/09/2025: Best coffee and staff around the area 🤎

30/11/2025: Best steak and good value if you choose deal menue on Thursday. Nice atmosphere.

23/11/2025: Terrible experience all round in this establishment. I had booked weeks previously, rang beforehand to request a booth in the front bar area and was assured that we were already assigned this and would not be moved. Arrived on the night and was told it was unavailable despite being able to clearly see a booth in the front bar was available. One of my party queried why we couldn't have the booth. At this point the manager arrived to say the booth was unavailable and would not budge on the matter. I asked if the booth was booked by someone more important than us and the manager said yes that this was the case. We sat in our allocated seat out the back and then decided to leave as we didn't want to spend our money in such an elitist establishment. Such an awful way to run a restaurant. We won't be back and will make sure to tell our friends and families about our experience. The restaurant also cancelled our booking after we left to ensure we couldn't leave a negative review on Open Table.

11/09/2025: Had our monthly OAP's retired colleagues coffee morning here. Very nice surroundings and staff. Prices good too.

22/08/2025: What a fantastic visit we had over a couple of days when we came for a wedding. Great staff, service and atmosphere. We will definitely be back when next in the area! Thanks again Andrea and Carlo
