What a great place to have an ice cream or a slice of cake! When I'm craving for something sweet I…read morego there first! As I'm not eating chocolate, they have gelatos and types of cakes and tarts, so I really like it because I have different options there. Go give it a try! :)

Big mistake at the Riverside Hotel in Killarney. The Bacchus Room has a fresh take on so many dishes. As a starter, I had the Bluefin tuna tartare atop thin slices of pear with trails of a tart sauce that was a surprising flavor combination. The main course was a magret of duck with mashed potatoes and what appeared to be a phyllo pastry cup al dente vegetables. There was a small glass jar containing strained duck drippings and a bulbed pipette for putting the "jus" right where you want to. My dining partner had a starter featuring a sausage made from suckling pig with sautéed mushrooms and green tomatoes. His starter was followed by a rolled saddle of lamb and aubergine. There was no room for dessert. All-in-all, it was an extraordinary meal. Make the effort to find this place. It was a total surprise well-worth the expense.

I always stop in here for a coffee when visiting Limerick. Love it - staff are friendly and helpful…read moreand the coffee is made just how i like it. It is never bitter or overly strong. I don't think I've ever got a 'bad' coffee in this place and I've been going there for 10 years. They also use 'real' freshly whipped cream unlike many other places where it's from a can. Selection of all plant milks too - soya, oat, almond. Food is good, nice selection of cakes, gluten free is also catered for. It is a pleasant place to sit and soak up the atmosphere of the bustling pedestrian street. Comfortable inside and also large outdoor seating area - great in summer, but there are also heaters in winter. Owners are very hard workers, I hope they keep going for many more years. Only minus is that it's not open on Sundays.

Americans on vacation, we were heading to our car from inside the center and stopped at a tiny gourmet patisserie and candies shop. We purchased a cake--it was Sunday and the cake was half off so why not. It was THE MOST DELICIOUS CAKE I HAVE EVER HAD. I am a candy maker myself and this is a very unique review because I know what I'm talking about. If you live in Limerick or are there for any reason, you may find yourself parking at Arthur's Quay (the largest and most centrally located public garage). Be sure to stop by Gourmandises Time. You will not be disappointed. Lovely owners too. (Summer 2017)

Warm and kind staff, delicious food, all set in the glamour of a bygone Parisian salon, yet with the cosiness and relaxed atmosphere of home. We sank into lush armchairs and never wanted to leave!

Highly recommend!

I had a cosmo which I feel was out the bottle, way too sweet for being freshly made, not that great but having had a 5 hour drive it went down nicely. Then onto the starters, Alex had the mussels and begin I the baked Brie. The Brie was lovely and perfectly complemented by the cranberry sauce - the cheese literally burst out of its crunchy shell once cut into which I loved. I also tried the mussels, the sauce was rich and tomato-y but the dish wasn't warm enough which made me a tad nervous. Huge portions though! Next to the mains, this is where if I could, I would give it a 3.5. The lam shank was topped with onions and a thin gravy and then cooked in pasty = lamb shank meets beef Wellington. It was great, the lamb fell off the bone and it was really well cooked and juicy meat. Served on a bed of creamy mash and fresh veg. The veg was slightly under cooked sadly but the rest of the dish, fantastic! I tried some of Alex's ham hock and that too was great. Really flavoursome and soft meat - if, however, your not a big fan of Dijon mustard I wouldn't recommend as it's literally covered in it! All of the above including a pint came to around £60 which for the size of the portions and the overall quality we were happy with!
