The Definitive Limerick Restaurant and Takeaway Thread

Restaurants
(See next post down for takeaways)

List as of 21st May 2011.

Absolute Hotel
* The Absolute Hotel is doing a lunch special - all items on their lunch time menu cost €5.00. Today the menu had a selection like soup and sandwich, seafood chowder, stirfry, breast fo chicken on colcannon, fish and chips, etc. Dont think you'll get better value.

Azur
Location: O'Connell St
* European food, mid to high price, good value early bird.
* Went to Azur on Friday night and I have to say the best meal I have had in ages. Early bird 30EUR and we all cleared the plates. Will definitely be back. ** NEW **
* Azur is very nice. I'm following most restaurants on Facebook right now so I'm always seeing the offers in advance. Azur really made the best use of that space, coming from what they had previously, they were always going to have to try harder. ** NEW **
- Been to Azur for my cmas party. The food was amazing but the service is very poor and portions are too small and for those reasons, I would have to think twice about going back there. ** NEW **
* Just throwing my two cents in about Azur- went last night with two friends. It was fairly busy, which I imagine many other places weren't on the first Sunday night out of Christmas. Had the option of an early bird menu of three courses for €21.95 or three from the a la carte for €30. We decided that seeing we don't get out often (ha), we'd go with the a la carte although the early bird was very good value too. The staff were perfectly pleasant, if a bit scattered, but the waitress in charge picked up on this towards the end and knocked a wee bit off our bill in apology, which was very fair. Our food was delicious, I'll definitely be going back and my friends wholeheartedly agree. ** NEW **
* Had dinner in Azure last night, I must say i am loving the new setting (haven't been since O'Connell street) and the food was amazing. Had the setting and food of a 5* restaurant but with the friendliness and warmth of a local bar and restaurant style place. Highly recommend it guys. ** NEW **


The Bailey
Location: Patrick St (opposite Arthurs Quay)
* We had lunch in The Bailey on Sunday, the food and service was excellent. 2 beers, 2 coffees, 4 main courses for €60. Good comments on all the main courses, sea bass, plaice, burger and lasagne. Will certainly go back again.
- Visited the Bailey on Bank Holiday Sunday evening. After being served two cloudy tangy pints of Bulmers I moved onto bottles. It astounds me that barmen serve dodgy pints early in the evening when people are not drunk and will notice. For this reason I would not be very trusting of the food.
* Was there last night excellent food and very reasonable,There must of been some function on with Miss Limerick & Mr Ireland and the atmospheres was good. We were even giving a drink by the host lovely and friendly person. I can see the bailey doing very well in Limerick.. 3 Course €17.50 Amazing

Bambu Location: O'Connell Street, above The Texas Steakout
* Medium priced Thai Food.
* Excellent meals, have eaten there easily 20 times since it opened, never disappointed. Great friendly staff also.
* Early bird from 5-7, 3 course for €16.95 is amazing value
- I would only recommend this place as a last resort, when i went there last year, the food was barely cooked and its fairly bad service. Unless its improved since.
* have to say, don't agree with that comment on bambu being a last resort, have taken my girlfriend there many times, never had a bad meal either.

Bella Italia
- The last time I was there we were treated very badly. The staff were quite rude and dismissive in general. We got desert at the end (cake) which was stale which the insisted on us paying for. My gf and her friends went back after that and received very similar treatment. They had a table booked and were seated. They were left waiting for over 45 mins and still had not received any food. One of the girls called over a waitress and asked could they at least some drinks to which the waitress barked "I'm busy". The girls then got up and left, they went to another restaurant in town and spent their money there. This all happened about two years ago but we were treated so badly I will never step foot in there again. I wouldn't mind but I love Italian food ***NEW***
- Have to agree - i have had nothing but bad experiences with Bella Italia. The waitresses are lovely but really under pressure. The last time i went back to give it another shot there was a huge mess up with my boyfriends order (they sent him TWO main courses!?!) and the kitchen blamed the waitress - who personally knows my boyfriend and there was no way she would have got the order wrong as he always orders the same thing.There was a huge fuss made and even after complaining they insisted we pay. I will never go back there. Its hugely overpriced and full of screaming kids - i dont know how they justify their prices in the current economic climate. ***NEW***
* Bella Italia has really upped its game in the last few months. I was there at the start of 2010 and it was not possible to get a glass of wine. I ranted about this on an earlier thread!!! The only option was a 1/4 bottle of wine that is usually muck!! They now serve glasses of red and white wine. The service was also terrible the previous time I was there. This also has been improved. There seems to be a new manager there that has improved things bigtime. ***NEW***

Brasserie One
Location: Pery Square
* had the early bird 20 for 2 courses had the soup and excellent beef for main other half had roasted cod and choclate tart for desert. Huge wine list many by the glass and very nice bar for pre and post dinner drinks. all in all a great spot and look forward to going back. only down point small side portions at 3.50 a pop

Brullees *NOW CLOSED (Relocating?)*
Location: Corner of Mallow St & Henry St
* Nice menu and good value, mid to high price.
* nice food but small portions. good french cuisine but extremely expensive. Lovely staff.

Brunch
Location: William Street
- The food was really nicely cooked, and good quality.
- Went in to this place for lunch today. I'm hard to impress with food but both of our meals were gorgeous. The food was really nicely cooked, and good quality. I got chicken tenders with chips and salad, the chicken was so soft it was great, and the chips although a little over done were real potatoes and tasty. The salad was also nice and fresh. We both got a meal deal, which came with chips and salad and drink, for 7.95 each. We were both very impressed with the quality of the food, and left quite full. We'll definitely be going back for a breakfast some time, as it happens to be very close to wear I live and all! ***NEW***

Bruschetta Bar
Closed.

Cafe on the Row
Location: Bedford Row, City Center
* Quick and tasty food. Mainly day time trade. Good for a post-night-out breakfast. Nice hot sandwiches, fresh pizzas, potato wedges, chips etc. Good coffee too.

Chocolat
Location: O'Connell St (Opposite Luigi Malones)
* coffee shop on the ground floor and fine dining restaurant downstairs. very good food and reasonable prices.
* I was there over Christmas and we had a brilliant time, the menu has something for everyone and very well priced
* I was in Chocolat about a week ago for the early bird, which is served from 5-7pm and includes a starter and main from the regular menu plus tea/coffee, but desserts are only €3 so you can treat yourself if you like and still keep it under twenty! After 7, they serve a 3-course meal (starter/main/dessert) for €19.50. These are mid-week offers, afaik. The selection is good, the portions are the right size, the service was just right and the value for money excellent. The food was tasty and well-cooked. And judging by the fact that we had to wait about 10 minutes on a Wednesday evening just to be seated, we clearly aren't the only people to think so! It's a nice menu and I'll definitely be returning to sample more of it.
- I found the portion size very, very small
* I found their selection and portion size to be good. I'd highly recommend it for value at the moment.
* Was in here for lunch (the upstairs part) on Sunday. Three meals (two beef burgers, one BBQ ribs) came to less than 25 quid. The food was delicious and the portions were massive. Absolutely delighted with the value for money. ** NEW **

Cibo - closed
Location: Raheen (where Penz used to be)
* Italian American restaurant, which opened last week. Same owners (according to the staff). Went there tonite. Menu is similar to Penz with a few more pasta and italian dishes (to keep in line with the name clearly). As an "Italian" restuarant the menu isn't that strong - but put it to one side and there are good things.. Tried the tiger prawn pasta dish which was really nice with fresh prawns, and the baby back ribs - very tasty. Portions are good, and prices are reasonable - EUR5 for starters and EUR13-15 for most mains. Staff (all new) were friendly, and service was quick and efficient. The Tiramisu was to die for.
- Bad points - would like better Italian starts and risottos, as well as a better wine (only choice of 8) menu. But it's early days, and the food and service were great, so will definitely be returning.

Cornstore
Location: Thomas Street, City Center
* The Cornstore on Thomas street is absolutely A1, was there twice for lunch and just last friday for dinner. Now my favourite restaurant in Limerick.
* The Cornstore is divine. Was there on three nights during December for various nights out and no complaints. It's a little bit more expensive than the usual spots but worth the treat.
* Cornstore excellent early bird menu. Starter & main or Main & desert for €25. Great buzz in the place after food also. Service excellent there.
* I went to The Cornstore on Sunday evening. The place was buzzing and was very impressed with the look of the place. They were running the early bird for €26.95 all night which I believe they do Sunday – Wednesday. We had: (To start) - Mussels – good size portion but the sauce was a bit heavy on the garlic and onion. Goats Cheese Bruschettas – huge portion, good cheese. Nice relish and rocket salad. (Mains) Chicken with Savoy cabbage, sautéed potatoes and a wine glaze. Sirloin steak with sautéed potatoes and pepper sauce (€5 Supplement). Both of these dishes were OK. The portion size was good but the chef was again heavy on the garlic and the food in my opinion was over salted. The pepper sauce and the sauce with the chicken tasted quite similar which leads me to believe that the salt issue was due to an over-salted stock. (Dessert) Crème Brulee – tasted good and a large portion. Chocolate Pot – very large and very rich. In essence a cappuccino cup filled with melted chocolate mixed with cream. We could not eat much of this. I will try the Cornstore again. Staff are lovely and the wine is well priced. The place has a nice buzz to it. But – if on the second visit the chef is as heavy handed with the salt, and the garlic in EVERY dish, I will not be back for a third time.
* Was in Cornstore the Saturday before Christmas. Lunch menu was great value and it included steak at no extra supplement. This place has a great wine list, some of it supplied by the excellent Wine Buff. The service was amazing. ** NEW **

Country Kitchen - Breakfast food
Location: Gerald Griffin St
* Small place, but nice food, at reasonable prices. All day breakfasts.

Del Arte - an Italian restaurant.
Location: Crescent Shopping Centre (former location of Spur steak house)

Food is good, and prices are pretty decent too.
Very good meal deals including a main course and drink for €10. Which included any Pizza and a glass of their Red Wine.
Pizza's are proper thin Italian Base and are definitely the nicest I've had in Limerick.
They also do a buy 2 pizzas and get a 3rd for €1.49 which is excellent. Everything done to order, and it only takes about 5mins (as I said, those bases are thing )

Dim Sum, Catherine St - Chinese
Location: Catherine St.
* Quite nice food, reasonable price, good portions, although skimping a little lately. Small place, little bit too cosy, but would still go for the food.

Docklands Restaurant - Across from the Clarion Hotel
* which does good food at very good value. QTR Pounder for €4.95 with a few chips and garnish. ** NEW **
* The Docklands restaurant the other evening and the food was nice. The staff were quite friendly too. ** NEW **

Finnegans
Location: Dublin Road/Annacotty
* Not as good as it used to be, but for a quick feed its ideal. Standard pub grub. Can't beat the Chicken Curry Half and Half!

Freddys Bistro
Location: City Centre - Theatre Lane
* European, Irish, Seafood Mid Pricing
* European food, mid to high price. Nice wine list.
* Freddys got a lot of good comments from my mates over festive period , plan going there soon.
* Ate here Saturday night. Nice ambiance, fairly good service. Paid 85 euro (plus tip) for two starers, two mains and a bottle of wine. Had the Clonakilty Black Pudding for starter and it was fantastic. Also tasted the garlic mushrooms, they were great as well. Had the Jamaican Chicken for main course. Was tasty but failed to live up to the starter. Also tasted the sea bass which was very good, very well cooked. The wine (an Italian Pinot Grigio) was really good. Probably wasn't worth double the price of the Hamptons, although I think they do an early bird as well so it's probably not a fair comparison. ** NEW **

The French Table
Location: Steamboat Quay
* Wonderful menu, perfectly cooked food and is a great price for a sit down meal compared with Moll Darby's and the like. Great for a nice night out and they do mini french tartlets with your tea/coffee that are home made and really top off a gorgeous dinner
* Was at the French Table recently for my Girlfriends birthday, 9 for dinner everything came out perfect. Possibly the best cooked steak I've ever had.....and I've had a lot of steak. Couldn't fault them on presentation, food, or service. The only problem I had is that there's not much if any public parking on Steamboat Quay, unless you pay into the car park there, which at 9 at night when almost every space on the street is empty, you shouldn't have to. Would definitely recommend and will be going back soon. ** NEW **

Fusion
Location: Above Collins Bar in Dooradoyle
* Chinese Food, good value.
* Excellent menu and great service. The Chicken Satay is not to be missed.

Gallaghers
Location: Bunratty
* Mainly Seafood dishes, great Sunday special. Not to be missed.

Gasworks
* It is run by a brother and sister. The brother, the chef, is formerly of the Radisson and a 5* Castle hotel in Dublin. The food is amazing and his prices do not reflect this. Well worth a visit. Best of luck to him and his Sister. ** NEW **
* Gasworks was mentioned briefly but really deserves more love. Very reasonably priced, Porridge with honey and tea for €3 is brilliant if you want a healthy leisurely breakfast. ** NEW **
- Went there for steak one night a couple of months ago and it was pretty terrible tbh. ** NEW **
* I only started going there in the last month, and I'm vegetarian now so I couldn't possibly comment on the steak, but a mate of mine said the steak was great. I haven't had a bad meal in there myself at any rate, it's cheaper than Chocolat and it's healthier than Chicken Hut ** NEW **


Glasshouse
* Went to The glasshouse recently too and was pleasantly surprised. They are trying to get rid of the image or reputation of the previous businesses that have been there and I hope they do. Their food is stunning and they give you just enough (in terms of portions). Very reasonable price wise too, will definitely be going again ** NEW **
* Visited the glasshouse again - top marks again to that place. Had a lovely Argentinian Malbec wine along with starter of red pepper & tomato soup, main of Chorizo Rigatoni which was so filling I couldnt even contemplate dessert. If you havent visited yet - I would definitely recommend it ** NEW **
- i have been to the glasshouse a couple of times and i am not mad about it for some reason. there is no atmosphere there. myself and husband went there one night and we were the only people there for about 2 hours and still found it hard to get the waitress attention - too busy chatting to each other. i wont go back. ** NEW **

Goosers Pub
Location: Ballina (Killaloe)
* Not strictly in Limerick but I have had two very good lunches here recently. Roast Pork with apples & cider was very tasty and a huge portion with lovely think slices of roast pork. Grilled sole was equally huge & very fresh. Prices are reasonable & you definitely won’t walk away hungry.

Greenes cafe
Location: William St.
- Nothing good to say about this place. Poor layout, small portions, over priced, got my food ten mins after my OH, and was cold. Wouldn't ever go back here.

Greenhills Hotel
Location: Ennis Road
* The bar and restaurant at the Greenhills Hotel on the Ennis Rd offers dishes at exceptional quality and value. I go to the carvery lunch every weekend (massive portions) and restaurant every now and then.

The Hamptons
Location: Henry Street,
* Great food, good prices
* Great restaurant, was there Friday night. Had veg soup...very nice, just the right amount of veg too and big chunky slice of brown bread to go with it. Main meal was rib eyed steak....uhh still having wet dreams about it, was divine!! Mash and carrots with it, were superb although the carrots looked like baby food. Dessert was great too, plate full of 8 mini desserts, just perfect!
* Tried Hamptons for the first time last night... WOW! Great food, great setting, great atmosphere, great service. Never been anywhere like it before. Can't wait to go back...Steak was amazing.
* Ive been to The Hamptons 3 times recently and i cant say enough good things about it. From the minute you go in the door until you leave, everything is top notch. I was there last weekend and had the Pork fillet, i have never tasted food like it. Just absolutely amazing.
* Have to agree about the Hamptons, I've never had a bad meal there!
- Went to Hamptons a few months ago with the girls - was amazing. Couldnt fault it. So I took my OH there last week. Massive difference. Starter was cold and not really cooked through. Main course was rack of lamb, that was so tiny and overcooked. Way overpriced for what it was. Veg I thought myself was left over, it had that look and taste of being reheated. In typical Irish style tho, we didn't complain. Unlike the guy and his girlfriend next to us who complained and the manager stayed at their table for a while listening to it. They really weren't happy. Just found it disappointing. They are not exactly the cheapest/best value for money and now that the food is going downhill where does that leave it? As well as that, there seemed to be a few hen nights/girls nights in there the same night (nothing wrong with that) but ourselves and the other couple were shoved in beside them. And I'm not joking but you really couldn't hear yourself speak! (No offence to the girls, they looked to be having a great night!)
* Was in here two or three weeks ago. Had the early bird special. Excellent value for money. Had a perfectly cooked rare piece of sirloin steak - it was delicious. Duck spring rolls for starter were great two. Was too full to eat the dessert. Service was of the highest quality. ** NEW **

Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant
Location: William Street
* The hong kong chinese in limerick has the best food

Jasmine Palace
Location: City Centre - O'Connell Street
* Chinese Cuisine - Mid & High Pricing

John Street Deli
Location: John St.
* Best fry up in the city,good lunches,good prices.

Jumbo
Location: Castletroy - beside Groody bar.
* Cuisine: Chinese. Have only got take-away from here but impressed. Nice big portion, you get free prawn crackers if you spend more than a certain amount and there is another deal i think if you spend 30 euro. Spring rolls are very nice.

Kudos
Location: Clarion Hotel
* I had a very nice meal in there but the chef certainly likes his spices and chillies. Mine was not meant to be spicy at all and it was, I tasted the 2 other dishes my friends got and they were deadly spicy, they were only meant to be mild. they couldn't finish their meals because they were basically.... too spicy. Good portions though.

La Piccola Italia
Location: O'Connell St. Limerick
* One restaurant in Limerick that is consistently excellent. Never had a bad meal there. You'll pay for the quality, but its worth it.
* WOW what an excellent meal i had last night. First time there, nice warm atmosphere, staff were excellent too. Had Minnestrone for starters - very good. Penne Al Vodka for main, which had me literally licking the plate. Had the ice cream and choc sauce for dessert - perfect way to end one of the best meals I have had in Limerick. Had the house frascati also - was lovely!

Luigi Malones
Location: O'Connell St.
- was in luigi malones a couple of weeks back, disgusting. nice waitress though. went in as i was sure i had heard of it before, maybe i had heard of it before as in being a place to avoid but jesus it was bad. overcooked greasy french fries, musty smell, 1970s decor, dark and dodgy sauce on a chicken something or other.
- Have to agree about Luigi Malones, ive never had a good meal in there, i really cant see what the fuss is about.
- It's not particularly terrible, but it's definitely not great, and the prices are absolutely exorbitant for the quality of food.

Market Square
Location: O'Connell St.
* High End of prices, good food and service. Bookings usually required.

Milanos
Location: City Center
* Tasty, reasonably priced italian food. Nice location. Good for large groups.
* Mainly Italian dishes, cooked in front of you. Nice, clean and bright. Reasonably priced.

Mogul Emperor
* I have to say I love the Mogul Emperor Indian Restaurant. Their food is top class. A friend of mine was taken there by an Indian man working in Limerick who would not go anywhere else.
* I notice the Mogul Emperor is only listed in the takeaways it's also a sit-down restaurant. It may not be fancy design but the Indian food and the service is definitely the best in Limerick. OH and I go there once a month and the food never disappoints.
* fantastic for good quality food with nice service. The ambience is quite old fashioned. However do not be put off by the appearance.

Moll Darbys
Location: City Centre - Locke Quay
* Pizza and European Menu - Mid + Prices

The Mustard Seed
Location: Ballingarry.
* Probably the best fine dining restaurant around Limerick. Irish style food, top quality, organic. Prices are high.

Olive Branch Bistro
* I had lunch today in the Olive Branch Bistro next to the Gas Works and across from Chocolat. These are the guys who were working in the Absolute Hotel. They are doing a stellar job in there. I recommend anybody to visit this restaurant. Great food, good prices. Worth a trip. ** NEW **
* €9.50 + for most items but well worth it. Good ingredients ,well prepared. None of your cheap ingredients made 2 days in advance here let me tell you. I didn't pay so I didn't pay too much attention to the prices for each product. Just had a quick scan and they didn't go very high. Apparently the previous owner has moved down to where the Salt House / Moll Darbys was in case people are wondering. ** NEW **

Paparazzi - Denmark St.
* Had lunch in Paparazzi (formerly Bruschetta I think) on Denmark St. today, thumbs up from me. Had a chicken pesto wrap- it was delicious. The wrap itself appeared to have been made in-store and the chicken was sliced roast chicken, not just that manky plastic looking mush you see in a lot of delis. ** NEW **

Penz
Closed. A restaurant called Cibo is there now. See above.

The Poppadom
Location: Opposite Angel Lane, beside Lyric FM
* Indian food, most expensive Indian in Limerick.
* Excellent, varied menu, not the usual Korma, Balti, Masala etc. Originated the GOC!
* The Poppadom is more contemporary but equally good and unusual indian dishes. Again service is very good.

River Bistro
Location: Locke Quay
* The menu is a fixed 4 course for €35 including a glass of house wine – I believe that this is a special offer menu so I am not sure how long it will be available. There is a different Saturday menu which includes some specials. The wine menu starts at about €22 and goes up to around €40. We chose a bottle of Sancerre which was around the €38 mark.
* To Start: Grilled Portabello Mushroom With Rabbit Sausage, Organic Salad Leaves And Mustard Oil – this could have had more fflavour but was an interesting and different starter. St Tolla Goats Cheese Spring Rolls With Marinated Beansprouts And Sweet Pepper Relish – devine! Putting Goats cheese into Spring roll pastry is a nice change and makes for a light started. The sweet pepper relish was Yum! The starters were accompanied by a selection of fresh breads.
* Mains: Piri Piri Spiced Breast Of Chicken With Couscous, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Corn Pancakes And Avocado Puree – beautifully seasoned chicken, not too hot, served with a few interesting extras. Chargrilled Rib Of Beef With Chunky Chips, Onion Ring And Creamy Pepper Sauce – very large steak, fax chips and giant onion rings. The pepper sauce is quite heavy to the addition of brandy – but nice. The mains were accompanied by steamed veg and roast baby potatoes.
* Dessert: Rhubarb And Apple Crumble With Vanilla Ice Cream – not good for the waistline but a lovely comforting dessert for a wet evening. Lemon Posset With Hazelnut Shortbread And Raspberry Sorbet – if you like a fruity dessert this is one for you
* A nice touch at the end of the night was the chef coming out to the tables to check if people enjoyed their meal. Some may think this old fashioned but I think it is a good thing. I am looking forward to going back.

Royal Dorbar
Location: Market Area, City Centre
* Indian dishes. Good for take-aways too.

Savoy Hotel
Location: Henry Street
* I would highly recommend lunch in the hotel formerly The Marriott and now The Savoy on Henry Street, upstairs. very comfy couches and absolutely divine salads, soups, sandwiches etc. Very good value and service.

Siam Corner
Location: Henry Street
* I've eaten in there a few times and the atmosphere is lovely as is the food. The takeaways are reasonably priced too - for Thai food.

Strand Hotel
Location: Other side of river on the Ennis Road,
* Sunday lunch special, four course buffet with Champagne reception and jazz band, all for €20.00.

Synotts
Location: Castletroy/Annacotty
* Mainly lunch trade. Excellent carvery, very reasonably priced. Usually 4 or 5 hot meal selections, salad/sandwich bar, soup of the day, lots of space.

Tanjore Palace
* was in tanjore palace on glentworth street last week, it only opened a few weeks ago. as you can guess from the name its an indian restaurant specialising in south indian cuisine. they have two menu's, one is the usual menu you would get in most indians around ireland with a few chefs specials also, tasted two of these and they were excellent, one with lamb and it was delicious, so tender. the other menu is all south indian dishes, i tasted two dishes from this and they were pretty good. they still have some work to do with this menu as its very confusing but the food looks good. i always like to try something new when i eat out and there are loads of things on this menu i have never heard of never mind eaten. as they have only opened they are having a few teething problems with the waiting staff but i think when they get these and the menu sorted the other three main indians (mogul, popadum, copper & spice) will have some serious competition. the place has been renoveted from the chinese that was there beforehand and they have done a pretty good job of that too. To conclude, its definitely worth a look and if you like indian food, its a must.
* I have been in tanjore palace resturant last week they have variety of food choices which I haven't seen before and prices are very low, I found it a good place to go, good taste and low price, I really enjoyed it and will recommend to all who like Indian and south Indian food.
* lovely Poppadoms and Dips to start folowed by Tandoori Mixed Platter,then the other half had Chicken Tikka for the main,I had Chicken Bhuna with extra Garlic and a Garlic Nan. The food was scrumptious and served by a charming girl (Latvian I think)

Texas Steakout
Location: City Centre - O'Connell Street
* Steaks, Chicken & Pasta Dishes - Open for Lunch. Mid+ Prices
* Dined in the Texas Steakout last night with two friends. Place was moderately busy at 7.30 pm. Service was practically immediate, food (two of us had steak & mushrooms with baked spuds, and the third had Clonakilty chicken) was excellent, served piping hot (something I personally give top priority to) and overall it was an excellent occcasion. In spite of frequent criticisms about the place, we were three happy campers and the bill was very reasonable. Friendly cheerful staff too. It was quite busy and full as we left.
* The hong kong chinese in limerick has the best food with the texas steak hse a close 2nd imho

Thai Gourmet
Location: City Centre Upper O'Connell Street
* Thai Cuisine - Mid & High Pricing

Turkuaz - near Market
* AMAZING. Great for sit down or takeaway. Their meal deal for three fed five of us! ** NEW **

Tuscany Bistro - Castletroy
* Tuscany is lovely - the waitresses there are brilliant, i think they are both Polish ladies. The food is tasty and fresh. I feel the menu is good value for the quality of the food.I always feel comfortable in there even if eating alone. My only gripe is that it can take a long time for the food to come out - excessively long and i find sometimes the ingredients vary in the same dishes - its like they dont have a certain item that week so they dont put it in even though its mentioned on the menu. But all in all a lovely place with good options for vegetarians too!

Wokmania
Location: Arthurs Quay
* Ok Chinese food. Not a very varied menu. Food is cheap, tasty and filling. Currently a dinner + fried rice or chips is €5

Zweton
Location: City Centre & Suburbs
* Chinese Cuisine - Average Prices
* absolutely superb food and excellent lunch menu. ** NEW **
