The best restaurantsof seafood

23/07/2025: The food was excellent and very varied. The service is exceptional and very well priced we will be back again

12/07/2025: What a great evening we had at Sage. The staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I had a mixed seafood starter and then grilled sea bass. Just excellent food. We all enjoyed everything that was put before us.

16/07/2025: Very friendly service, tasty food and the decor has an old school charm. Wonderful Irish coffee and soda bread

13/07/2025: Great place to eat and a great location also. Service was excellent

27/07/2025: Amazing! Extensive menu and all dishes done so well. Excellent service by host Grace who was running the show like a boss. A must do in Kenmare!

10/07/2025: Consigliato dalla proprietaria della casa in cui stavamo siamo stati in questo locale e devo dire ha fatto fede alle parole che ci erano state dette. Personale simpatico e gentile. Il cibo di ottima qualità. Tutto molto molto buono.

25/07/2025: Stunning food. Fab service. Very cosy. Would love to come back asap but it's hard to get a reservation.

23/07/2025: Considering the quality of the cooking and service, this is one of the best value places to eat in the city. Do not skip the colcannon!

12/07/2025: Best seafood I've had in Dublin. Would definitely visit again.

28/06/2025: I was in Hemmingway's last night with my wife for an unbooked and unplanned one-couse meal at 20:30. Michelle was doing front-of-house on her own: meet and greet, taking food and drinks orders, delivering food and drinks, clearing tables etc. for a total of eight tables! What a legend! So friendly and efficient. Plus the food was fab! I had the Seafood Paella and my wife had the Tempura Prawns. Both were yummy and excellent value for money. A well-deserved 5 stars! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

02/07/2025: I honestly never fancied the Fish and Chips concept: found it a tad bit too bleak for my taste, however, these guys have something really fresh, juicy and unique. It’s safe to say that this is one of the best in Ireland. 100% recommended.

21/06/2025: Best fish and chips in town. Great service and good prices.

11/07/2025: Had one of the nicest breakfasts ive ever eaten last Thursday morning in ard bia. Myself and my husband had to wait about ten minutes for a table which we didn’t mind at all as it was worth the wait. The staff were super friendly! We both really enjoyed our breakfast and coffee. Really good food bursting with flavour. I had eggs with avocado and halloumi with almond pesto on soda bread. Will definitely return.

10/07/2025: Such lovely service (especially gorgeous Izzy), food and location. Korma was delicious. Coffee is right up there amongst the best we’ve had.

13/07/2025: Great spot in Strandhill. The. Tapas are tasty. Much bigger portions so we could have ordered a lot less. The chicken curry and aubergine were our favourites followed by the steak. Pork Boas also worth a try.

06/07/2025: Gnocchi was best I’ve ever tasted. Calamari best in Ireland. Can’t rate the Sushi or Scallops highly enough either.

22/07/2025: great service, such a friendly environment and the food was to absolutely die for, definitely recommend!! our server was amazing and couldn’t have been nicer. you may find it on the pricier side but well worth the money and you will not regret spending it!

14/07/2025: Great food, all local. Lovely fish. Get there.

17/07/2025: This is a take-away--and do stop in for take-away. The staff there is friendly, informative, sweet and funny. There were many choices for the fish--haddock and hake, yes. And several more--I had the monk fish. Oh, so delicious. The chips are crispy on the outside, soft and luscious inside. I'm a vinegar and salt lover, so that was my choice. There are picnic tables and walls to sit on at the harbor. Some pubs will allow the food if you order a drink. I sat by the water--and watched the boats and enjoyed the beauty and devoured this delicious late lunch.

16/07/2025: Stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon. We'd had a recommendation that this was the best chipper! And it was. Hake and cod were sweet and tasty. Chips were excellent. And don't pass up the homemade curry and tartar!

14/07/2025: Got the seafood box with chips which had 2 pieces of fried fish, 3 breaded shrimp and some calamari rings. Both the battered and breaded fish were fried perfectly and it's hard to choose which I liked better. The chips were light, crispy and lovely! And can't go wrong with the garlic mayo, nice creamy garlic to contrast the fresh lemon. Weather cooperated and it was a beautiful day to sit in the patio behind the shack.

13/07/2025: Very good fish and chips! Friendly guys that make the food!

02/07/2025: This place is so cute. The kid friendliness was so great. The food was also amazing. I got the pancakes and they were so thick and fluffy! I do recommend

26/06/2025: We landed into The Creel right at the peak of lunchtime madness, fully expecting to be turned away or told to perch on a bench and pray. But no — the lovely waitress worked some kind of hospitality magic and squeezed us in. Saints in aprons, the whole lot of them. Every single staff member we encountered was absolutely lovely, with top-tier customer service and smiles so genuine I nearly cried into my napkin. Now, my friend came carb-loading for her gym session later that day, her bold shoulders graciously disguised under a classic pump cover. She absolutely demolished her food with grace and gusto while I waffled on about my life updates. So attentive was she to both her plate and my rambles, I nearly applauded. She even got a coffee with her meal AND for the road — that’s how good it was. As for me? I took a bold culinary risk and went for the Chicken Parmigiana, a dish I’d usually sidestep because tomatoes, in my view, are often just flung at food with reckless abandon. But I was wrong. So wrong. It was divine — balanced, comforting, and just what I didn’t know I needed. Life’s about risks, and this one paid off like a scratch card in Lidl. The chips? Beautifully crispy. The side salad? Actually seasoned and dressed, which tells you the kitchen really cares. (Speaking of dressing — unlike my friend who whipped off her pump cover mid-meal to flash the guns. We love confidence and chlorophyll.) The location is a solid 10/10 — you're a stone’s throw from Westport House, perfect for walking off your meal and your emotional baggage. And to top it off, I washed mine down with a gorgeous Irish-made pink lemonade that made me feel like I had my life together. Prices? More than reasonable for the quality you’re getting. Verdict? Go. Run, don’t walk. Maybe even do a bicep curl on the way.

14/07/2025: Great salads and panini. Delicious cakes and desserts. Daily hot food options available and fabulous coffee. Very friendly, highly recommended.

10/06/2025: Stopped by here for lunch and the lady was very nice she even moved tables around for us to accommodate us without having to ask. The sandwiches and cannolis were really tasty, my only gripe was a person came in with a big dog and it seems like the owners have no problem with that, I just don't think animals should be sitting where people are trying to eat, especially when it was such a small place.

03/08/2025: We visit Mary Ann’s in Castletownshend regularly, and it continues to be one of our favourite spots in West Cork. The food is consistently excellent, thanks to a talented and hardworking kitchen team who clearly take pride in what they do. Whether you’re looking for fresh seafood, hearty local dishes, or something tailored to vegan or vegetarian diets, Mary Ann’s delivers every time. What makes this place even more special is the atmosphere, much of which is created by the man at the front of house. With decades of experience and a unique, no-nonsense sense of humour, he brings a refreshing authenticity that’s hard to find these days. He makes everyone feel welcome, and nothing seems to faze him—not even the most specific dietary requests. The Staff are incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely care about making sure everyone is looked after. It’s not just good service; it’s heartfelt hospitality. To all the people who complain about his attitude or the food: maybe what you actually want is the supermarket. There, you can pick out exactly what you like, go to self-checkout, and not have to interact with a single human being. Hospitality is about connection, not just consumption—and if that bothers you, perhaps dining out isn’t for you. Much of it feels rooted in begrudging attitudes rather than genuine issues. If you appreciate real food, real people, and a genuine Irish welcome, Mary Ann’s is a place you’ll want to return to again and again. We certainly do.

02/08/2025: Even that place was absolutely full weeks were sitted fast. Food was delicious. Sea food tasted super fresh.

22/07/2025: Every dish is bursting with flavour, perfectly seasoned and exceptionally cooked. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. The hostess and waiters are all very welcoming and so friendly.

01/07/2025: Absolutely superb. Every review reiterates our view. Steak sublime, wine menu stellar for a change! What a choice, french reds curated well... Staff and ambience all spot on. A delightful experience all together!
