The best restaurants in Dungarvan

28/01/2026: Best food and best value for money. I would highly recommended a visit when staying in dungarvan.

29/11/2025: Went to Shamrock for breakfast and lunch two days in a row because it’s that good. Great portion sizes, good value, friendly owners, and the fish and chips are excellent, the fish is so fresh. I’ll definitely be making a return!

01/01/2026: Very disappointed given an expired bottle of beer. Served by man who was not very happy about us having just a drink saying it was not done anymore but we didn’t want to eat so just got money back and once my husband finished his pint we went & had drinks in the anchor bar close by which was very welcoming.

31/12/2025: Dropped into The Local for some food and was not disappointed - good food - really good service and stayed for the music - fabulous singer backed by a really excellent group of musicians - good pints too! I would highly recommend

01/01/2026: Not that bad but Moorings and Merrys nearby will serve you much better

31/12/2025: Very overpriced for an average meal. Steak was cold and had unedible onion rings, felt sick after eating one, too oily by far, wifes fish was cold, tea was even cold. Guinness wasn't great. Desserts were good value though.

12/01/2026: Busy pub / restaurant, good pint of Guinness.

07/01/2026: Booked a table for a work night out. The staff could not have been any more accommodating. We were well looked after by Joao from start to finish and everything was perfect. Everyone at the table was delighted with their meal and the great cocktails.

30/11/2025: Lovely Christmas lunch with my gang from Exercise class. Great food fab service and lovely ambience

27/11/2025: Just popped in for a beer, very nice location, lovely staff

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!

01/02/2026: Will NEVER darken their doorway again! For years I've been going to the Interlude, meeting friends for cuppa scone and a chat. Today I went in there, on my own, looking for a scone and coffee, was asked if I had a reservation, in a sneery voice, when I said I hadn't, that was it......I wouldn't mind, hardly a table had a reservation, most tables were empty. It only takes less than15 mins to eat a scone and drink a coffee, when you are on your own. Thank God, there are so many more fantastic eateries in beautiful Dungarvan, that accept someone wanting to be there on there own. I never asked for my husband to die, we always went there together. Maybe it was because I use a walking stick? Goodbye Interlude and good riddance, I will never enter your doors again. One very disgruntled long time customer.

26/10/2025: Great tea and pastries and the staff is nice, 100% recommend the place

30/08/2025: Don't do food no live music only back ground music great bar for a chat and the crack lovely staff family run pub well worth a visit

17/01/2026: Went here on sat 17 .we ordered waterford blaa and full irish.waterford blaa tea and toast arrived promptly.Twenty mins later i enquired how long my breakfast would be.apparently the waitress forgot to order it ...Ten mins later i cancelled my breakfast order....when i went to pay i was told to pay for tea and toast as it arrived .I argued the point that breakfast never arrived so i shouldnt have to pay ....No such customer appreaction.so to avoid a scene i duly paid...In the Time i was left waiting after after enquiring where my breakfast was Two customers were served full irish...Both customers were known to staff.so maybe if your local you get treated better.Better places nearby who appreciate visitors

02/09/2025: Had out family holiday here this summer. Staff were so friendly, lovely hotel and the food was excellent. Dined out in 3 other places too and the food was spectacular. Dungarvan is a lovely town and plenty to keep kids entertained from playground, to beaches, pools and Greenway.

29/07/2025: Far too expensive for what you get. Rooms are more like 3* standard, Wi-Fi is very poor, breakfast is "just okay," and the parking lot is usually overcrowded. The sauna is very small, at no more than 3 square meters.

14/08/2025: You can always rely on a good pint there and can have a laugh and a sing along if you want.

21/05/2025: Classic Irish pub, friendly staff, comfortable seating inside and large outdoor area!

07/09/2025: Good spot, good set up. Great place for a party!

06/09/2025: Expensive beers. Nice atmosphere

03/01/2026: Great local for a social drink .

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.
