Went ovre busy Bank holiday weekend, and had a good lunch. Not traditional, but we didn't really want that, so fine. Had 6 different meals in our party, and all were good size, well presented and tasty! Would go again! Service good, too.

This is a nice restaurant, close to temple bar, with typical irish food. Prices are reasonable and the ambiance it typical of restaurants in the area of Temple Bar. The list is composed mostly of typical irish food, tasty and reasonably cooked but nothing to write home about. It is, nonetheless, a good option if you want to dine around... More

Had dinner here and thought the food and service was good. I did think the place was a bit lacking in atmosphere and didn't like sitting watching a TV displaying photo's of the various items on the menu (I make a point of never going to anywhere that displays photo's of their food!). I appreciate most bars and restaurants have... More

Wonderful experience here. Service was nice, and we really enjoyed the food. The bangers and mash my husband ordered tasted so different than anything back home. I loved my salmon, it tasted fresh and was a huge portion ! Love the atmosphere here , would def come back one day !

Quays has a nice pub atmosphere and friendly wait staff. The food was excellent and the drinks were, too. The day was cold, so hot chocolate for the wife and kiddos and a nice ale for me. The kids had their kids meals and my wife and I had the "try it all" platter. It was a little bit pricey... More

The Intrerior of this Restaraunt is more pub than anything. The food is very tasty, but I found it a bit expensive for what it is. The Steak and Guinesss Pie was nice, but I could not understand the point of of the little 1 inch crust by the side. Worth a visit and the next time I will try... More

I had lunch here on Friday - beef and Guinness stew (fantastic) and priced at only €10. I enjoyed it so much that I came back with friends on Saturday evening where we availed of the evening special which included a starter and a main course for €19 pp. Overall myself and my friends were very pleased. Tasty food, presented... More

Been here on 2 separate occasions and have to recommend the lamb shank and Irish stew as they were fabulous, I never tasted anything as good. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this traditional Irish restaurant, not only is the food good but its a good atmosphere to go for a meal with groups of friends.
