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.

22/01/2026: 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

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!

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.

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

19/02/2026: We recently visited McGeoughs Bar & Restaurant as a group of four, and we all left completely satisfied. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a great balance of lively energy and comfort. The food was excellent across the board, every dish was full of flavour, well presented, and served hot and fresh. It’s always a good sign when everyone at the table is happy with their choice, and that was definitely the case for us. And also the cocktails and drinks were really great. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Service was smooth and efficient, even though the place was busy. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would happily recommend McGeoughs to anyone looking for great food and an enjoyable dining experience in Dundalk. We’ll definitely be back!

16/02/2026: The food is really great and the staff are lovely. Highly recommended for dinner and drinks

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!
