The Brake
Dundalk
31/12/2025: Decent steak meal and garlic bread as well 😋
08/12/2025: Had the worst scampi this evening, it was luke warm and despite being told it was not frozen, I’m not convinced. The pieces were uniform in size and when I cut them open the prawns were in small mushy bits . I complained and was told that they would bring me a fresh portion , however my original order was returned to me just heated up, I told a second server that it was not good but no interest was shown and despite leaving all the scampi , the server just cleared the plates with no comment or interest . Food is so expensive these days , so it’s really disappointing to pay €28 for something that tasted like a cheap frozen product. . .For balance one of my companions had a steak meal which was good and our other friend had fish which she said was okay but only lukewarm .

Roma Restaurant
Dundalk
03/01/2026: The Roma Park street Dundalk went on Friday 2-1 -2026.As we both like fresh Cod and chips that's what we both ordered.We got served about ten minutes later the fish n chips were absolutely top class beautiful soft chips and the fish so fresh with a beautiful light batter that just melted in our mouths.Its a long long time since we had fresh fish n chips of this quality,having had a very poor meals of fish n chips in a so called top restaurant not to far from the Roma we were a bit dubious about trying fish n chips but fear not the Roma came up Trump's and we will definitely be back sooner rather than later.
18/10/2025: The Roma is such a Dundalk legend that it has to be 5 stars. It's very rare that I don't visit when I'm back and when I'm not there I'm always talking about the Roma 😂

Oriental Cook-In Takeaway
Dundalk
08/12/2025: Delicious and delightful. However I often wonder how authentic this oriental experience is as they sell burgers and the only person I've seen work there is a white woman.
当局者迷,旁观者清。
08/10/2025: Well run efficient friendly service, very busy takeaway, lots of options , huge menu, oriental noodles and other oriental dishes, spice bag very good. ( only reason foe less stars is kids chicken strippers a little too much batter and not enough chicken, sager to order noodles or proper oriental dishes, spice bag lovely flavour, quite spicy

Isle De France
Dundalk
21/09/2025: Great pizza, bought their Four cheese(Quattro Formaggi) pizza and asked for extra sauce. It was delicious. Chips are bang on!
29/07/2025: Lefty's is gone and so is the quality this chipper was famous for.Sad to see as it was the best chipper in town always good and now gone way down the long line of customers not there anymore.Staff are excellent but they can only serve the food the owner cooks which is definitely not the high standard it was.Pity to see this happening.Customers will go elsewhere for quality and value.

Apache Pizza
Dundalk
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.

Black wok
Dundalk
11/01/2026: Ordered a delivery tonight and was one of if not the best Chinese meals I’ve ever had and I’ve tried a lot. The food tasted very fresh and there was so much flavour in each dish would highly recommend
01/01/2026: Spent close to €120 on food and for what we got I wouldn’t give €12. Food cold, tasteless, and greasy. Had order rang in to be collected at certain time but was definitely left lying before collecting. Food was full of spice and garlic but still tasteless. Will definitely not be revisiting

DkIT Canteen
Dundalk
30/11/2025: DkIT is a very modern and well-equipped campus, with bright classrooms, fresh buildings and impressive laboratories. The facilities feel clean, up-to-date and genuinely practical — you get the sense that students spend more time doing than just listening. Equipment looks modern, the technical spaces are well maintained, and overall the campus has a professional, contemporary feel.
Academically, DkIT leans toward hands-on, industry-focused courses rather than theoretical paths. The strengths here are in engineering, construction, agriculture/food-related sciences, pharma and skills that link directly to employment. It’s very much a “learn the profession, get the job” environment — ideal for applied learners, but not suited for someone looking for pure physics or research-heavy theoretical science.
A lecturer with a physics background shared interesting insight into the current nuclear landscape in Ireland, which was an unexpected and engaging conversation. Students were also friendly — especially in the acting department, who even invited us to their upcoming performance, which says a lot about the atmosphere here.
DkIT is due to gain full University status in 2026 and has begun collaborating with Queen’s University Belfast, which could make the academic offering even stronger in future years. It will be interesting to see how this partnership develops, and whether new programmes expand beyond the existing applied focus.
Overall, this is a modern, practical, career-oriented institute with excellent facilities and a very approachable feel. A great choice for someone who wants a direct pathway into work.
02/10/2025: Parking is an absolute joke. People don’t drive to college just to walk or take a bus to campus. They take away 4 parking spaces for EV charging points for lecturers because what average student can afford an EV?
When people park in unobstuctive manners they get clamped and on top of that the college involves guards? Are you serious? A joke. The clampers are absolute vultures

River Cafe
Dundalk
11/01/2026: Bad when you complain, and don't listen to what you have to say.had roast beef dinner and meat was unbeatable.
28/10/2025: Has it all, carvery, lunch, pizza, curry the works
Lovely smell walking in the door.
Super friendly workers, even suggesting things to get with my wrap
High prices (just over 30 for lunch of wrap and roll with crisps and one drink) but in line with everyone else now unfortunately
Definitely worth a visit as I said there's plenty of options for everyone
Will keep it in mind if in the area again
