    Seafood chowder and Corned Beef Rueben
    Curtis R.

    Completed a 5 mile hike on Kippure and was time to reenergize. This highly rated restaurant was a little out of the way but close enough to give it a try. This was a sizable restaurant with an large outdoor seating area. Inside was nicely decorated and busy. I ordered the Seafood chowder that was thick, hot and with nice spice. After two mouthfuls the Corned Beef Rueben came out which made for a difficult decision to eat what first. The corned beef Rueben was ok, not as good as The Temple bar, too dry and a far 10th to my own juicy corned beef. While waiting for the check, I headed to the head to wash up and upon arrival back, my remaining beer was gone and table cleared as they thought I left. I Paid the bill and on my way. Place seems like a great place To hang outside during warmer weather although it seemed the staff was short handed.

    The food was incredible, plenty of options to choose from; the environment is excellent as well! Our server Avinash was very kind, and made our experience great!

    Goat cheese fried appetizer

    Lovely restaurant in the quaint village of Laragh! We didn't know we needed a reservation, but they were happy to accommodate us anyway. We ordered some goat cheese appetizers which were creamy and delicious. For my entree, I had a pasta with bacon, chicken and a cream sauce - very wonderful! Dessert, we opted to share a Baileys cheesecake. It was very decadent and hit the spot. Service slowed down a little after a large group came but they offered us a complimentary shot of Irish cream!

    We were staying in the Heather B&B and really didn't want to drive anywhere for dinner. The Innkeeper graciously offered to make a reservation at their restaurant. I wasn't expecting much. What a surprise! This place was jammed! A fun lively atmosphere with a large indoor dining area and a large outdoor seating area. Service was great and so was star food. My husband had the lamb and said it was the meat lamb roast he's ever had. I had the roast turkey and ham. We were served mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables with dinner. The Banofee pie is a must!

    A great big restaurant / bar with tons of outdoor and indoor seating. It was packed when we arrived and there were people just pouring in as not much in the area was open. The menu is much smaller than the photos you see on google and we were informed that since they reopened they had to do this. Standard Irish pub fare with stews, meats and fish etc. Food here is ok and the kitchen is quick. Flavors are nothing special and the staff are good. Overall it's an ok place. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

    Amazing Irish breakfast! Scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, tasty bacon, and a while pudding ("meat sausage patty") - so yum!

    Fantastic breakfast!! The Irish breakfast was very tasty! Everything was fresh. This restaurant is at the entrance to Glendalough, and is a great place to stop before checking out the site. The coffee was good Irish coffee, the eggs, sausage, white pudding (Americans - this is not "pudding" - rather a meat party), and potatoes were on point! I would definitely eat here again and recommend this place to any tourist or local! The restaurant itself is very cute with antiques as decorations. Really look at the decorations as they are all very old and unique.

    During our two week trip to Ireland, the meal we had a Wicklow Heathers was one of the top ones. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Definitely a great way to end the day after hiking Glendalough and exploring the loop up to Sally Gap. We enjoyed a tour of the Irish Writers Room as well as a sneak peek into the private dining area. Flavorful and enjoyable, the food was delicious!

    Check in!

    After a long day of hiking in the Wicklow mountains, this was just what we needed. The food was great, the prices were reasonable, and the location was perfect! It was pretty much right outside of Glendalough. My chicken sandwich was good and my friends also enjoyed their meals. I will return if I'm over that way again!

    I, so badly wanted this place to be great, and I am sure if we actually ate an entre, we would have had a different thought. We arrived here at an early seating, there was only about 15% of the restaurant filled. I have a large family, so there was 8 of us. We placed our orders and waited. It took approx 30 minutes to get our appetizer. By this time the restaurant started filling up, and got quite busy. Well, we waited for over 30 minutes AFTER our appetizer was done (Approx 75 min from when we arrived) for our food to arrive and nothing came. Every time the servers brought food out, we assumed it had to be ours, and then they would deliver to the tables around us instead. So, we nicely told the server, then another server, and another 15 min went by. Eventually, We had no choice but to tell the waiter to bring our check and we would have to leave. (We had plans to be somewhere and were on the verge of being late and had not even gotten our meal yet). The server snuffed with a bit of an attitude that we should have told him we were in a hurry.... which we didn't tell him, because we were NOT in a hurry when we arrived and did not know it would take 90+ minutes to get a meal. They gave us the bill and we left. Unfortunately, if not for the waiter's attitude, we would likely have tried the restaurant when we were back, or the next night, but after that, we simply could not support this establishment. We really were looking forward to trying the entres.

    Great stopping point for a bite to eat before or after hiking Glendalough National Park! Super friendly staff and delicious food. Coleslaw was like none other; so yummy! Generous portion of haddock fish cooked to perfection. Mint infused table water is a nice touch and will definitely be stealing that to drink at home.

It boasts being recognized in the top 100 restaurants by the New York Sunday Times and is in the Michelin guide. Quite possibly one of the most cozy, welcoming places one could find off the beaten path in Ireland. Gorgeous, old-world interior with wood stoves and fireplaces in every room, deep padded armchairs you can lose yourself in. Sink into one of these, accompanied by an excellent cup of tea, crusty buttery croissant with fresh made grass-fed cow cream and admire tons of fun little Tchotchkes and handmade crafts, many of which are for sale. Attentive and smiley staff to boot. A pleasant repaste for a lazy weekend morning!

I came in thirsting wildly for a Guinness, but when I saw him meticulously preparing a Whiskey Sour with his own special touches, I pivoted to that. Just like my wife's "White Linen", we could not have been happier with our cocktails! Also, it just so happened that Wednesdays are "Pizza Night" so we went to the pizzeria/mini grocer connected to The Coach House and ordered our fresh, delicious, pizzas that were delivered to us back at the bar. The Coach House has several different eating rooms, each with its own look and feel. We were very comfortable just eating at the bar and picking Roan's brain for his secret cocktail recipes!!

This was going to be my first Irish meal of the trip so of course I wanted something that was more traditional Irish food! The group ordered: - beef stew x2 - Cottage Pie x2 - Irish Coffees x2 - Vegetable Soup of the Day I personally got the cottage pie and it was delicious! Large order of food I thought, with pie, fries, and a salad! My mom got the soup and didn't like it that much, she loved my cottage pie though and kept stealing bites of it. The soup was more a puree, and I personally was not a fan of it either. The others loved the stew and our tour guide was a fan of the cottage pie as well! Overall, I enjoyed my lunch here!

The tour company must have a deal with Fitzgerald's as he called when we were 20 mins out and they were ready for us. Greeted us with a tray full of Irish Whiskey and Baileys for everyone. The menu is all traditional Irish food and was really good. My wife got the vegetable soup & Bulmers cider, and I got bangers and mash along with a pint of Guinness. It was really good and the locals that hang out there were all very friendly and came over to talk with everyone from our group once we finished eating. I asked the one local how many people lived in this tiny village and he said, "Not sure how many in the town, but there are 27 people and 3 dogs on this street". It was so awesome and felt like going back 100 years in time.

Tucked down Dame Court just off Dame Street, The Stag's Head is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely historic rather than designed to look old. The building dates to the late 1800s, and the interior retains the ornate features of a classic Victorian "gin palace"--rich carved wood, stained glass, brass rails, and a warm, glowing bar that feels wonderfully preserved. We stopped in around 4:30 pm, which turned out to be a perfect time to visit. There were other patrons enjoying drinks and food, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxed rather than loud or rowdy. It felt like the kind of place where locals drop in for a quiet pint on their way home from work before the evening crowd arrives. The staff were excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good (we failed to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it). As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see the Impossible burger front and center on their menu; it was deliciously prepared with guacamole on a brioche bun, and not an afterthought on the menu. My companions both chose the Irish Beef Burger, and said it was excellent. One thing to know: this is a traditional Victorian pub, so cocktails aren't really part of the program. Expect beer, wine, or spirits rather than mixed drinks. In a place like this, that actually feels exactly right. Other pubs do serve mixed drinks. Between the history, the ambience, the quality of the food, and the wonderful staff, The Stag's Head is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've experienced a real piece of Dublin.

Our first meal in Dublin was at The Old Mill Restaurant, right in the heart of Temple Bar. It's been serving traditional Irish fare since the 1980s and has become a favorite stop for both locals and visitors looking for classic comfort food. After about a 20-minute wait, we were seated in the warm, inviting dining room. Susan ordered the mussels, one of her favorites, while I went with the Traditional Irish Stew and my daughter chose the Braised Beef & Guinness Stew. Both were exactly what we hoped for: hearty, flavorful, and perfect after a day of sightseeing. I finally understood why the Guinness stew had such a rich, dark color, and I have to admit, I came home a big fan of Irish stew. We finished with the Homemade Bread & Butter Pudding topped with fresh cream and custard, a comforting dessert that was the perfect ending to the meal. Service, atmosphere, value, and food were all five out of five. We also enjoyed chatting with the floor manager, whose pride in the restaurant and his team was obvious. That kind of hospitality made a great meal even more memorable.

Daughter got the creamy vegetable soup and chips. She loved it but couldn't even finish half. All the portions were very generous, nobody finished their meal, too bad we couldn't have taken it back to our hotel. Server was great & funny. Love this place.
