The best restaurants in Charlestown-bellahy

19/05/2025: Pub/cafe with a billiards table all the way in the back. Food was great.

12/05/2025: We had the pleasure of celebrating our son's communion in here.From start to finish Andrew and his team were excellent! Children and adults had a wonderful time and great experience.Thank you so much for making our guests and our little boy feel so happy and special on his Communion day.

12/07/2026: Unfortunately, I won't be returning. I have a dairy intolerance, so I always ask about ingredients before ordering. The first time I visited, I was assured the satay sauce didn't contain dairy. After eating it, I became extremely bloated and felt very sick. When I returned, I was told the satay sauce actually contained butter, which is a dairy ingredient. On a later visit, I explained what had happened and was reassured that the black bean sauce was dairy-free because the kitchen had checked. Unfortunately, after eating it, I once again became very bloated and unwell. I can't say for certain what caused the second reaction, but based on my experience, I don't have confidence that dairy-free requirements are being managed reliably. If you have a dairy intolerance, milk allergy, coeliac disease, or another dietary requirement, I'd be very cautious about eating here. It's also concerning that the food is prepared and ready so quickly. My meals have often been ready in around 10 minutes, which left me wondering how much is freshly cooked to order. I also feel the overall quality of the food has declined. Personally, I'd rather travel somewhere like Swinford, where there is more competition, more choice, and I have greater confidence in restaurants accommodating dietary requirements.

12/07/2026: Unless it's fried it all seems to be full of water! The spicy chips and prawn crackers are OK but the Chow Mein was so awful we put it outside for the foxes and even they wouldn't eat it! Some boiled chicken with frozen mixed veg and what looked like pot noodles floating in a load of water with a slight taste of beef dripping. No spices at all. THAT IS NOT CHOW MEIN!!! And not cheap at €12.50 either. Because they are the only Chinese in town that is the problem - no competition therefore you get what they give you. They are faster than McDonald's at getting your food ready which is a definite red flag.

17/06/2026: If you're looking for a good feed of good food, this is your place. The staff were very welcoming and the food was delicious and reasonably priced.

27/05/2026: The very best dinner out I had in a very long time! I had the Killibegs Salmon with Chefs Seafood sauce. It was absolutely delicious. As I like to cook myself I had lost my faith in eating out, because I often feel I could have done better myself. But not here. We will certainly be back for more !
