La Bucca

28/01/2026: My bestie booked the table for 2 in this lovely Mediterranean restaurant. Food quality was good with options of gluten free appetiser. I ordered linguine with Prawns and chorizo and the dish was to Die for! Also the banoffe cake was amazing and the staff sang to me "happy birthday " song as well. Lovely Cody atmosphere. Family oriented restaurant as well and good price for what we have eaten. Highly recommended 👌
19/11/2025: My wife and I came for our Anniversary tonight. 1st time here. I ordered the prawn and chriizo linguine as a starter. Omg it was Great. The chorizo is the best ive had around dublin.

O'Dwyers
Dunboyne
02/03/2026: Had a fabulous lunch on 28.02.26. Food was very tasty and staff very nice.
HOWEVER, when we got the bill the daily special turned out to be a rip off!!! when we ordered we were not told the price of the daily specials, Only it was steak Sambo, wrap or broccoli soup.
turned out that our Cajun chicken wrap and a couple of chip... €23.95!!
I would expect a whole chicken, with salad or veg and a full portion of chips. Might I add that their chicken burger with all the trimming is advertised at €18.95
27/02/2026: I was brought here for my birthday by my wife on a thursday. We had a wonderful time. The Guiness was creamy smooth and the food was scrumptious. I had the wings followed by the ribs which were full of taste and nice to have a meal with something other than chips. THe potatos were divine. My wife had chicken tenders which you have to get as the test was different and divine. A must. Lasagne followed which was again excellent. THe staff were polite, efficient and very attentive without being intrusive an John the owner runs a very professional establishment. Special mention for the toilets which were spotless, stocked, bright and smelled fragrant and fresh which is quite rare indeed and very commendable. No photos because we were enjoying ourselves so much. THey have their own dedicated parking which is very handy. Dine here with confidence.

Korma Indian Restaurant
Dunboyne
12/02/2026: One of the worst experiences I have ever had till date. Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday party, ordered the full stack, wine, starters, main course and desserts. The starters and desserts were decent. Being Indian, we requested the food to be cooked Indian style medium spicy(more use of species and hotter than normal). The chef just put a lot of green chillies in the food (think 3-4 birds eye chillies per curry) which was unbearably hot and impossible for anyone to eat. Upon highlighting the issue the staff just said "you requested spicy" which was very rude. It just felt like they didn't want us back and we're rather trying to take our money and drive us away forever. It's a shame because the base of the curries was good and certainly could have been good food but how we were made to feel in the restaurant will be the reason I will never go back and will recommend any Indian person to do the same. I'm personally a big advocate of supporting Indian businesses so don't feel good writing this review but don't think they want to serve the Indian audience at all.
08/02/2026: Food and staff amazing will definitely be back

03/10/2025: We ordered milkshakes that were runny and watery when a milkshake is supposed to be think not runny. We then told them it was to runny we were ignored. We called them after my sister drinking one and her stomach being in bits from it the rest of us didn’t drink it and the manager hung up the phone on us. Horrible customer service.

Slevins
Dunboyne
21/07/2025: Ordered Fish and Chips last Saturday night 19th. Have had this dish on numerous occasions in Slevins. When it arrived the fish was the colour of a brown leather shoe and the batter was of the same consistency! All three people at the table agreed it was inedible so I sent it back. 15/20 minutes later still waiting.
The Manager Michelle told me the Chef thought the batter was a funny colour so was making another one! Finally arrived and it was worse. Not helped by the skin showing through the burnt batter at the back!
The Manager here needs not to adopt such a defensive and rude attitude. I was told.......she tasted the fish and it was fine, nobody else complained and her final insulting parting shot....we would be happy to welcome you again but suggest you don't order the Fish and Chips! Now the staff here are normally extremely pleasant and the food very good. All my friends go there so we were very surprised to be treated in this manner. My companions food was great. The servers were lovely. Will go again but Slevins you need to perhaps arrange further training here. Customers matter and good customer service is essential for any business.
21/07/2025: We were staying at the nearby hotel. This was relatively close and an easy walk. We had an enjoyable meal and the service was great.

The Ivy
Dunboyne
03/10/2025: I just want to say a huge thank you to Carmen and her staff in the Ivy Restaurant in Dunboyne castle for our lovely Retirement lunch today.
We were a large group of 24 people and the staff were so attentive to us and catered for all our needs.
The lovely gesture of the gorgeous desert you gave to our Retiree was so thoughtful.
We appreciated everything and really enjoyed the afternoon
Thank you so much
