The best restaurants in Dungarvan

02/07/2025: The food was just amazing and so tasty 😋

01/07/2025: Mushroom soup yummy and wholesome, pints of Guinness zero perfectly poured with care, Amy then recommended the Sticky Toffee Pudding without hesitation. Im not going straight to heaven anyways but this was sinfully finger licking delicious and I was then treated to the best Calypso coffee I have ever tasted. I've eaten here the last two days and all the food and staff are first class but in a country that has somewhat lost its cead mile failte je ne sais quoi, it is such a delight to watch someone so absolutely deadly at their job. The lady from Croyden is a gem and The Local and Dungarvan are lucky to have Amy and all the crew at The Local. Greatly appreciated by myself and Buddy.

12/06/2025: We had the cod and a seafood chowder. Both were amazing and served quickly. 10/10

30/05/2025: Great little cafe. Good service and even better food. Soup and bread was traditional and outstanding! Soup perfect and brown bread warm and perfect. Able to eat outside!! Staff warm and welcoming. Lovely town too! Great town to enjoy a wonderful day!

07/07/2025: Dined twice in the Pergola this weekend. Surroundings were lovely, service was really friendly and the food was great. As a bonus, they were very nice to our dog! Would recommend.

05/07/2025: Went there with a friend about a month ago. We started the evening with gorgeous cocktails then had the Vegan sharing board. I'm still drooling over the bang bang cauliflower. We asked about Vegan wine and they checked and brought us a choice of vegan labelled wine. The wine we chose was one of their most expensive but it was Delicious! I am taking one star away because they sadly don't have a vegan dessert. I mentioned this on a previous visit so am disappointed. Their kitchen staff are obviously talented enough to produce something Vegan friendly. We sat in the beautiful pergola section which is dog friendly. The staff were lovely, attentive and friendly. We went mid week when it wasn't very busy and staff were happy to let us sit and relax and no suggestion of trying to get us to eat and go as you do in some other establishments .

25/06/2025: Bought a brownie and Focaccia here last weekend. It was super tasty and well recommended. The portions are generous and it really was homely food.

30/05/2025: When you see a queue like this you know it’s gotta be good and my god I was not wrong. Pastries, sourdough bread and coffee were all fantastic.

12/06/2025: Fantastic bar with lovely food. Guinness was suberb at a great price. Will be back the next I'm in Dungarvan

03/06/2025: We absolutely loved our visit to Merrys Gastro Pub! The restaurant is charmingly decorated and very cozy. The menu truly offers something for everyone, including traditional Irish dishes as well as modern and innovative options like burgers, salads, and pizza. Our orders were served quickly and were incredibly delicious! The service was also super friendly and attentive. We had no problem getting a seat even without a reservation.

17/06/2025: The dishes are really good and the place is welcoming.

15/06/2025: This is a beautiful relaxing restaurant overlooking the Quay in Dungarvan....the food was gorgeous and the staff were so friendly, polite and helpful. We will be back.

17/04/2025: Absolutely lovely bar, the owner was so helpful and knowledgeable about the town, even called other bars to check for live music the evening for us. Decent beer garden out the back and had some great chats with the very friendly locals. Fantastic pint of Guinness too😉

18/02/2025: A must visit, one of the very few proper pubs remaining in Dungarvan.

15/05/2025: Best place by far staff are so pleasant as well as the owners always go above and beyond when I go there

20/04/2025: Lovely little place with home made food which was delicious and very friendly staff. Recommend!

16/06/2025: Fabulously tasty fish and chips. Highly recommend their Haddock - such flavour and so filling. Lots of other items on menu too. Food was placed into a box, wrapped and sealed with stickers. Easy to unwrap. Box contained a large and small piece of beautiful haddock in crispy batter, accompanied by chips and sides of mushy peas, tartar sauce and a wedge of fresh lemon. Restaurant quality food in a take away is how I’d describe it. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Once upon a time, Eunice Power (founder) set out to elevate the humble chipper and by this experience I would say it is mission accomplished, Eunice. To describe this place as a chipper actually does it a disservice. Although the place is small, it is possible to eat in, however it is at a breakfast bar type arrangement. Condiments are available and there’s even somewhere to wash hands after your meal. Definitely a step above the usual chipper. I will definitely be back for more. Saw scampi on the menu last time so I’ll be having some of that please!

13/06/2025: Awesome little place. I’m from Texas and use to spicy and typical American/Tex-Mex food and thus have been having a hard time adjusting to Irelands food culture. This place was the first location that was actually good and I really enjoyed their food and service. The staff were really kind and interacted with us rather than ignoring us like some other locations have. This is a nice spot if you’re worn out from trying to find some decent food that matches what’s typical from the states.

21/12/2024: Really disappointing experience. Table in the corner was breezy. Group beside us were loud and just drinking, vaping in the snug and shouting about where they would buy a bag that night. Male staff were very friendly. One female server gave a glass of Prosecco to the table overflowing and spilling down the side. Then slammed two of the main courses onto the table. Never asked did we need sauce salt vinegar for chips and fish. Food itself was nice but desserts were way overpriced €9.50 for a tiny cheesecake, not worth it. Service doesn’t match the food and price doesn’t match service. Won’t be back

28/11/2024: Excellent food and service..but very few people there..beautiful decor..very clean but needs to b a bit busier for atmosphere

27/05/2025: Hotel is located along a busy road, you have no further inconvenience. Nice rooms with good breakfast in the morning. Cozy bar where you can also eat. You can park your car in the large parking lot at the hotel.

29/03/2025: A very enjoyable night was had by everyone.

23/05/2025: Brian the owner of is a great character and very welcoming to all customers. Good fun bar.

24/04/2025: Great keeper at the pub! Incredibly friendly service, dear Quinnes. I recommend visiting!

04/04/2025: Didn't have food. Friendly and fun

04/07/2025: Lovely breakfast, helpful staff, clean bathrooms and a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Great atmosphere.

31/05/2025: Vegan options including a massive Breakfast. Great service and good location. Inside could do with a Glow Up though.

02/07/2025: Shaz is a legend. Amazing take away food. Best taco chips EVER EVER even if it didn't look like it could be. Yummy food

15/02/2025: Eda is delicious. Atmosphere 3/5 The toilet is bad.
