The Definitive Limerick Restaurant and Takeaway Thread

Any one recommend a nice area with a few restaurants in I could walk with the mrs and we chose at the time. Off to limerick for the first time with the mrs and slightly worried reading some of these posts on here as I’m not Irish and she’s not white so don’t want random grief or abuse

I'd recommend any of the below.

The Curraghgower - Clancy Strand (enjoy an evening stroll down by the river before or after dinner)
The Buttery (Tapas or al carte) - Bedford Row
Da Vicenzos - Shannon street
Tuscany at The Granary - The Granary
Texas Steakhouse - O' Connell st
Azur - George's Quay (may need booking)
Freddies Bistro- Theatre Lane, Glentworth st (would need a booking)
The French Table - Steamboat Quay (may need booking)

Slightly worried about random grief or abuse: while there was ONE recent incident reported, i assure you have nothing to worry about. Limerick people are extremely welcoming & friendly.

Can anyone remember the name of the restaurant that used to be on the corner of Henry St. and Mallow St (opposite Gleesons Spar)?

I can't remember when it closed exactly but it might be gone about 8 years at this stage I'd say. Used to be similar to Freddies Bistro menu wise, pricey but nice for a treat.

Edit..had wrong street

Do you mean Mallow and Henry street?
Brulees?

Yes....Henry St...sorry for the mix up.

Brulees sounds right I think....has been wrecking my head for a couple of days....cheers!

It was called Creme Brûlée's. What an absolute ****e name for a restaurant.

It was just Bruleés.
Great quality spot it was too.
Was one of my favourite spots in Limerick while it was open.

Thoughts on Bambu?

They merged with Spice of India & moved to that location from overhead Texas Steakhouse. They kept the Thai chefs from Bambu and kept the Indian chefs from Spice of India.

Always found the Indian at SoI really good and it hasnt changed from the merge.

any suggestions for somewhere to eat breakfast this Sunday morning before the parade? have to be in around 9.30am

The Green Onion. I don't say this lightly but it is hands down the best fry in Limerick.

Went for dinner with the wife to Bella Italian recently, first time there in years!! Have to say it far better then I remember. Lovely mains and dessert... And all very reasonable. Definitely an option for a quiet night out if you didn't want anything too fancy!!!

Was there on Monday night, ordered garlic bread, on the menu at €2.30, expecting a lovely bit of garlic bread only for two slices from a baguette to appear. Disappointed.

Same reason I never go back - looks like something you would get from Iceland.

At least with Iceland, you would get a ball of Garlic Bread for €1.

Yup, just brulees and agree it was fab.

Was it called something else before that,maybe some Irish name?,whatever the case i had a few nice meals there.

Chungs Chinese in Castletroy (opposite the Castletroy Park Hotel) has gone. There is a new sign up 'Papa Rich Asian Streetfood', work currently going on inside. Had a good few family gatherings in Chungs, will miss it.

There’s a Papa Rich in Galway and it’s absolutely delicious :cool:

Had pizza from Tonys in Raheen and its really really nice. There's a great deal too, pizza, chips and drink for €10
