The best restaurants in New ross

23/09/2025: One for the locals. Food seemed microwaved and service was very poor. Locals love it, no attention given to pesky tourists though. Pity, it's a lovely spot and the tunes were good!

22/09/2025: Really enjoyed the whole experience, the food was delicious 😋 highly recommend visiting for a grandchild meal. ☆☆☆☆☆

18/10/2025: Rude owner bought some stuff from her shop the a few days ago i gave her €20 and when it came for her to give my change i held out my hand which she clearly saw and passed it by and dropped the money on the table lile i had a disease never again.

16/10/2025: We absolutely loved our visit to Ann McDonald’s Café & Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we could tell this was a special local spot. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of friendly faces — always a good sign when you see plenty of locals enjoying their meals. Everything is made fresh daily — Ann and her team even cook their own ham each morning. The traditional toastie with fresh baked ham and vegetable soup was simply perfect — flavorful, hearty, and comforting. You can truly taste the care and quality in every bite. We had the pleasure of meeting Ann McDonald herself, who personally brought our food to the table. She has owned and operated this restaurant for over 30 years, and it shows in every detail — her hospitality, pride, and the homey feel she’s created. She made our family feel completely at home, like we were visiting old friends. The location is also ideal — just a quick 5-minute walk from the Dunwoody Ship Experience, so it’s a perfect spot to stop for lunch before or after your visit. Ann’s restaurant is everything you hope to find when traveling — authentic, welcoming, and absolutely delicious. We could not recommend it more highly!

09/09/2025: Excellent hardware & builders providers

30/07/2025: Would highly recommend this place very friendly and knowledgeable staff great prices fantastic product variety

09/08/2025: Disappointing lunch here on a Saturday. Food was quite nice but service wasn't great at all. Had read so many good reviews but was surprised to be met with a staff member who was borderline rude. Felt quite unwelcome and was very happy to leave.

07/08/2025: A nice simple 🍵 ☕️ 🫖 tea shop Decor very nice and relaxing.. More nice cakes 🎂 🥮 would bring in more people, I think 🤔.

02/08/2025: Lovely, knowledgeable staff! Italian wrap, "wake up call" smoothie and a flapjack, perfect brunch for myself! I'm going to make this my regular Saturday daytime feast!

01/08/2025: Lovely spot to stop off for a coffee, charging station nearby

13/07/2025: I recommend this place as the staff quickly and efficiently solved my problem with my bike.

09/07/2025: Showed up late in the afternoon with a very bald rear tyre. Fixed expertly edgy we had coffee. Can't rate the service and professionalism highly enough. Thanks again.

21/07/2025: Best pub in the town by a long shot, Betty the owner is a true Gem and so so welcoming. No matter how busy the place is Betty will never forget your name or order ..

28/09/2025: Very very good kebab. Numero Uno w calej Irlandii. What would I change? 1. Wrap it in aluminium foil first than paper -no wet hands and soaked paper. 2. Spicy sauce should be more spicy. 3. Bigger portions.

17/09/2025: Great little place to visit for an absolutely fantastic takeaway Kabab meal, the food is hot, tender and plentyful, and great value for money, you won't be hungry afterwards, highly recommended

27/08/2025: The heart of New Ross’ nightlife. This place offers a great selection of drinks, including a handful of good quality cocktails. Cheap enough, and a nice beer garden outside. My one complaint is that the toilets in the women’s bathroom are almost always out of order.

02/08/2025: Great atmosphere, well worth a few hours spent here

19/10/2025: Great for food and fast friendly service. 👌.

23/09/2025: We had a lovely breakfast here after our tour of the dunbrody. It was really nice and very reasonable price. The staff were really friendly and nice.

12/10/2025: Excellent accomodations and the food is delicious too. Great location and easy to walk to center town.

12/10/2025: A chalk and cheese experience! I visited this hotel over 2 years ago for an event in the area and I swore I would never return. That time the service was awful, staff would not look at you and the food terrible, well below par, the bar area grubby and unloved….. fast forward to last week when left with no other choice but to meet a friend there and what a surprise I got. The entrance was welcoming from the off, a roaring fire on a miserable night. A completely revamped bar area that was clean and looked after. My waitresses were friendly and efficient and my food was amazing. I am not often blown away, but kudos to this business for the complete turnaround. I now would have no hesitation returning when in the area.

10/07/2025: Great pub excellent for functions

11/05/2025: We recently hosted our club's awards night in the newly renovated function area which has been beautifully refurbished. All the staff were so helpful, as always. The space is perfect for an event, with new lighting, speakers and disco lights added.

04/08/2025: Limited options for Vegetarians /Vegans compared to the menus in the Wexford & Enniscorthy restaurants, not sure why... The vegetarian options were excellent though, and they will make them GB / Indian spicy if you ask, the dishes on offer are quite mild compared to what you find in GB. The tastiest onion chutney I have ever has.

03/08/2025: Delicious Indian food in New Ross. We shared starters and got samosas, onion bajiis, and prawnsz they were all delicious. For mains we got biryani, butter chicken and lamb Rogan Josh, everything was packed with flavor and would highly recommend!
