Schooners Restaurant


Carlingford
14/08/2026: We arrived at 7pm and were chancing our arm to get a table. The staff were very welcoming and warm. We were all ravenous after a day at the beach so were grateful that dinner was served promptly. I had one of the best burgers in a very long time, my fellow diners raved about the carbonara and the fish. I would definitely come here again.
26/06/2026: Excellent. Both had seafood platters... would come again

Wildwood Café


Carlingford
29/06/2025: This place was recommended to us and it did not disappoint, the toastys are like nothing we had eaten before! My kids can be hard to please, but they really loved the food! It's Run by nice people and it's a cool place! Remember everyone, it's street food! Don't go there expecting Michelin Star table Service! Just good quality grub on the street!
22/06/2025: Stopped off and had an absolutely smashing Chicken Cluck toastie and dip. Savage

27/06/2026: This restaurant definitely the best in Carlingford, and great value for imaginative, fresh, perfectly executed food.

Ma Bakers


Carlingford
19/08/2026: A great night out but drinks are expensive
12/08/2026: Previous visits to this public have been disappointing due to the loud volumn of the background music. This visit proved much more comfortable... Perhaps it because it was mid week. Anyway great pints great service this time around so will be back

Juniors Bar Carlingford


Carlingford
09/08/2026: Great food and service Billy nobody else around when we went
08/08/2026: Great place for food and excellent staff. This pub is a few minutes walk away from the cluster of pubs in the centre and probably doesn't get the crowd it deserves. Food last night was fabulous and breakfast this morning was too. Also, very well priced. The crab claws were beautiful. I highly recommend walking a few minutes down the road to this little gem.

ROMA TAKE AWAY, CARLINGFORD, CO.LOUTH


Carlingford
25/08/2026: Had a takeaway from here at the weekend, it was really tasty. The portions were huge and what I really couldn't get over was just how clean it was.
30/07/2026: Called at 4:45 for a single pizza for collection Said it’d be 25 minutes. I agreed. Arrived at 5:00, told me it’d be a few more minutes. Fair enough, expected. 15 minutes pass, I ask how much longer and he says 5 more minutes. I wait at the store for another ~8 minutes, nothing yet. It’s now 5:28, and the pizza I called in for 45 minutes ago for collection isn’t ready. During my wait, people have come in, placed their order, and received it before I got my single pizza. I left for store until ~5:35 to see my pizza finally ready on the hot rack. 50 minutes for collection. This isn’t to mention how absolutely awful the pizza itself was. Gummy cheese, Tomato base that seems it was made with thoughts of tomato, not actual tomatoes, A dough base that felt like it was worse than a slice of bread, Bell peppers that genuinely tasted like nothing, Chicken that was completely flavourless. The pizza was impossible to get through. And I can eat anything.

Taaffes Castle


Carlingford
01/09/2026: Just stepped in for the one drink. The barman was friendly and chatty. He played good music and a couple of requests. The Guinness was very good and enjoyable. It was a Thursday night so not many in the bar, having said that there was a nice relaxing ambience. A couple of things to note it's cash only and the hand dryer in the gents wasn't working.
28/07/2026: Cash only. Beer was terrible. My husband tried 2 different kinds and they both tasted like the lines need to be cleaned. Would never return.

Riina's


Carlingford
21/06/2026: We waited 40 minutes for mediocre food. I’m pretty sure they brought in the groceries for our dinner about 20 mins after we ordered. Keeping in mind the restaurant was open for an hour at this stage. The the tables and the water jugs were all dirty. The toilets were dirty and had no designated lady’s facility’s. We were also brought the wrong food. To top it all off at the end where where dull charged a 10% service fee as we where a table of 4 ans then they only accepted cash.
06/06/2026: We ordered langoustines, but received mussels and shrimp. When we objected to the bill and were offered a €10 discount, the boss came over to tell us that “this is what we call it” and demanded his €10 discount back. We refused, though; we really do know what langoustines are. Otherwise, the taste was okay.
