The best restaurants in Dundalk

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

04/01/2026: We honestly can’t thank Vertigo enough for being such an incredible part of our wedding day. From the very first song to the last, you created the exact atmosphere we dreamed of and kept the dance floor full all night long. So many of our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was! Vertigo’s professionalism, energy, and genuine passion made everything feel effortless and fun, and it truly allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment. You read the room perfectly and made the night feel so personal and special to us. Thank you for helping turn our wedding into an unforgettable celebration. We are beyond grateful and would recommend Vertigo to anyone looking for a band that absolutely delivers.

08/12/2025: How does one even begin to summarise Vertigo and how utterly amazing they are! Clive was so easy to deal with, hassle free, contacted me wedding week to finalise all. Arrived in plenty of time, linked in before they started and then the magic happened and didn't stop! Davey was the lead singer (i think he had to stand in last minute) he was absolutely electric, his energy & stamina, he was on that dancefloor keeping everyone on it! Their set was just brilliant something for all and as for the tuuuunes at the end just wow! i found Vertigo on Instagram, had never heard of them or saw them before but something told me to book them and my God am I glad I did. if you are lucky enough that's they're available, do not hesitate - just book them. EVERYONE mentioned how class they were. Lads thank you all so so much, ye made our day!
