The best restaurants in Dundalk

02/04/2026: Have been before and it was fine. Had issues but also had praise. However at last, recent wedding, I got a hair in my food so I wasn't the happiest. I didn't complain as I understood it was big wedding n busy but so, not the best experience this time... But i mean others could have eaten n wouldn't even have known!

02/04/2026: I stayed at Fairways Hotel Dundalk for three nights. Overall, the experience was quite positive — the rooms were comfortable, and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. However, I was quite disappointed with the restaurant service. One of the staff members, provided consistently poor service — he appeared unfriendly, inattentive, and at times even rude. This significantly affected the dining experience. I hope the hotel can address this, as otherwise it’s a great place to stay.

23/04/2026: First time there,really enjoyed the food,excellent service.Will be back.

16/02/2026: Perfect meal and place. Amazing waitresses.

14/04/2026: Given an accessible room (not requested or informed upon check in), with a shower that circulates the water into the bedroom.

11/04/2026: Great hotel and delicious food! The pints were decent at €6.50. I'll definitely be returning, especially since it's so convenient for the races. 🏨🍻🏇 #Hotel #Food #Pints #Racing

25/05/2026: Brilliant food and lovely, friendly workers. They were extremely fast with making my order. Would highly recommend😋

06/03/2026: I had a great experience at KFC in the Marshes Shopping Centre, Dundalk. The food was absolutely delicious and everything tasted fresh and hot. The service was excellent as well — all the workers were so friendly and welcoming. A special shoutout to Kate, who was incredibly kind and patient. She made the experience even better with her great attitude and helpfulness. I was also impressed with how fast the service was — it took less than 5 minutes to get my food! The restaurant had such a lovely, comfortable environment and the whole visit was really enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon. Highly recommend!

01/06/2026: Was spotlessly clean, the restaurant was amazing the food was just like home cooking and staff so friendly!!!!

16/05/2026: I would like to go to Dundalk in the near future.

06/03/2026: This is by far one of the best takeaways around! I come here all the time and the service is always amazing. Every member of staff is so friendly and welcoming, which makes such a difference. The food is always fresh, great quality, and tastes fantastic every time. You can really tell they care about what they serve. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and delicious takeaway!

30/03/2026: Best Chinese Restaurant and take away in the North East food is fresh and delicious

13/03/2026: Lovely food...friendly staff and good atmosphere. Highly recommended. I overheard a lovely statement from one of the owners when asked was business good she replied "our customers are brilliant and only for them". Fair play you. And best of luck into the future

24/02/2026: Went here with my boyfriend for dinner recently and it was absolutely fantastic. A really warm and fun welcome at the door from the host. Super helpful waiters and the owner (I think) came to pour our wine and chatted to us about that particular Albariño and where he tasted it first. Just all nice little touches, that make local places like this stand the test of time. I had the chicken kyiv - faultless! So tasty and nostalgic. My bf had the hot seafood platter and it looked incredible, he loved it. The hand rolled croquettes are gorgeous and the freshly grated slaw - divine. The menu is keenly priced, as well. Just adore this kind of confident, comfortable service where you know you're in good hands. We'll be back again and again!

30/01/2026: Awesome experience at this restaurant always! Such a cosy vibe, super welcoming and courteous staff. Authentic food and great service. Must try- Steak!

08/12/2025: Called in here on Saturday night, nice atmosphere, good crowd but not overcrowded, enjoyed the band and great pints. We'll be back again.

26/07/2025: The Phoenix Park cafe is in a great location. The owners have the luxury of getting a captive audience due to the volume of people visiting the park and the lack of places to eat. I feel that the food has gone downhill. I’ve been consistently disappointed with the last few visits. My last visit was at the end of June. We all ordered lasagne and the food was dry and tasteless. There was a lack of choice of salads on the day that we visited. This restaurant used to be great. It’s a shame.

27/04/2026: Easy to find and easy to get parking

22/04/2026: Amazing facilities for students ! ( except parking)

18/04/2026: the best kebab in the world. i simply can’t describe it as no words will ever get to do it justice. you just have to try it for yourself. their chicken tikka kebab meal is something i dream of, and when i can’t eat it i dream of eating it. it is made with love and soul, and the taste transcends above all knowledge of sense, identity, and vision as we know it. i hope this is still open the day i have children so they too can taste it. i can only hope that the memory of this kebab travels though my bloodline and is sent on. thank you for this kebab

23/01/2026: Ordered delivery at 5.30 through website, I called them at 7 and said they didn't have the order. Said to sent confirmation email to what's app, I did and no reply. Called again and told them info, then finally they said they will send the order, came at 8

30/03/2026: Went here at around 5:10pm for dinner, the restaurant was freezing and after a while of asking they said it would heat up slowly, never did. Ordered a arribiata pasta, it came out with a fajita seasoning sauce on it was nothing like any arribiata sauce I’ve ever had. Pizza came out cold and was so flat and flavourless. Chicken Milan came out with a microwaved sauce on the side and and a flat breast of chicken. Paid full price for rubbish in a bad atmosphere of a place.

15/02/2026: Went there for valentines as last minute place, was more than happy with our food my lasagne was gorgeous the sauce had a nice rich taste of it and my partner ( picky eater) loved his pasta which had the steak and Chicken in it he loved every bit of, the staff was more than lovely, such a wee hidden gem highly recommend

13/12/2025: my favourite chippy in town, genuinely some of the nicest staff i’ve seen in a workplace. lovely staff who go above and beyond to make sure your food is on time and hot. great stuff guys, thanks so much for the continued service :)

13/12/2025: Always order online , so dont know how it is inside but for some reason the pizza tastes better when you leave it overnight and then microwave it, not sure if im just a weirdo or that makes it taste better.
