We loved the small, eclectic collection of the Hunt Museum, from the rather surprising silver death mask of James Joyce to the Egyptian statue of the god Thoth as a baboon and the late medieval Italian majolica devotional panel. The brightly painted horse sculptures outside the museum entrance, painted by local youth artists, are an especially wonderful feature of this cozy little museum.

An absolute must visit. What a gem in the city. You are taken on an extraordinary journey through history. The scan codes on the exhibits are a great idea, and the pieces in the drawers are a huge hit with my eleven year who has adhd. It kept us engaged from start to finish.

A nice place to visit, has art exhibitions to see, and a nice collection of artefacts. It's free for students who are in LSAD, and also free for kids!

Very eclectic collection with everything from prehistoric tools to modern art and decoration. Explanations are good and the staff are very friendly and ready to help.

Very nice museum, good curating of a wide range of items. Lots of pottery, spears, Christianity relics. Some nice artwork, both old and recent, and a nice little gift shop. The receptionist was lovely to deal with, and really helped with explaining the routes and specific exhibits.

The best thing about the museum was it was so quiet. You can easily cover everything in one hour.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Hunt Museum last Saturday between 3–4pm, thanks to our wonderful tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging and clearly passionate about the history of Limerick and the collection in the museum. He gave us a fascinating overview of the origins and evolution of the city, weaving together historical facts with memorable storytelling. His explanations of the paintings and the stories behind them added so much depth and context, things we never would have noticed or understood on our own. Every question we asked was answered with insight and enthusiasm. The tour was the highlight of our visit to Limerick and we left feeling enriched, inspired and with a much deeper appreciation for both the museum and the city itself!

Very interesting castle; it is a well-designed museum with interactive experiences for children and curious adults. The first part is a historic path with many details, followed by a visit to the castle itself with beautiful views and some games. It’s worth setting aside 1–2 hours to enjoy the visit calmly

You are able to climb up all the towers they do have a few rooms with artifacts to see and very nice walkthrough museum. You can also get underneath and look at all the original structures. Obviously the castle has seen its fair share of seiges over the years So not necessarily everything has survived or is in great shape but they continue to do excavations and renovations.

Very interesting & informative place to visit, a large multimedia exhibition followed by a wander around the castle. Tickets were 15 euro which I felt for reasonable for how much there was there, and also had some medieval style games to try (needless to say we were terrible at the horseshoe throw). Lovely views from the tower over the river Shannon.

King John’s Castle is one of the main attractions in Limerick. I enjoyed all the fun facts throughout the castle, and the self tour didn’t take too long, making it easy to fit into a day’s itinerary. If you’re visiting during the busy season, I’d recommend purchasing tickets online. There are interactive activities to keep kids entertained, plus beautiful views from the castle. The gift shop offers a wide variety of souvenirs, and conveniently, there’s a cozy coffee shop connected to it.

I really enjoyed this castle. The layout and the stories relayed in the first bit are done really well and are very interesting. The castle is in decent shape with some activities for kids. There is a parking lot for the castle just a few minutes walk away. Worth the stop

There’s lots to see in the museum part of the castle where history is told with photos and videos. This castle has a very large courtyard with sections showing a blacksmith shop and others. And you can pose with your head in a photograph with an executioner. There are spiral staircases leading to several rooms in the castle and you can climb to the top of two towers for fantastic views of the whole area. There is a large gift shop in the large glass building with a café. The entrance to the castle and displays is in the brick building, beside the glass building.

The exhibits are masterfully done and are very engaging. We enjoyed learning about the lives of Irish people in the 13-15th centuries. We also had fun with the crafts and activities laid out in the castle courtyard. The views from the top of the battlements were spectacular.

This church is conveniently close to the city centre and it’s actually the best preserved Irish church built on a Continental scale before the Norman invasion of 1169. It’s a complex building, incorporating developments from the mid-twelfth century to the present. It is a really interesting sightseeing spot and definitely impressive and worth a visit!

Decent cathedral with a lot of history. You have to pay to tour the place which in itself is maybe acceptable although not entirely justifiable, however, despite paying some parts as indicated on the booklet they give were closed and as such it would be reasonable to lower the fee. Also, we wanted to light some candles, but the lighter was not working and no matches were provided.

A nice and well maintained cathedral. Entrance a bit steep as all they done here is put information exhibits on the sides of the cathedral as you walk around it to tell you about it's history. Overall still enjoyed it allow 20 minutes.

We were not able to tour the cathedral when we went, but the outside property was delightful, filled with old headstones. The architecture was breathtaking. Hard to imagine 1168 AD - so cool. It's in the city of Limerick and we were there for the day. I'd love to go back and see the inside, it has to be gorgeous.

The Graveyard: The churchyard surrounding St. Mary's Cathedral is an ancient burial ground, with the oldest parts dating back to the 12th century, though earliest burial records are from 1726. It remains an active graveyard to this day. As you explore, you'll find a variety of graves and tombs, some of which belong to notable historical figures. These include the Barrington and Sexton vaults, the Protestant Orphan Grave, and the grave of Prince Milo Petrović-Njegoš of Montenegro. The graveyard offers a tangible connection to centuries of Limerick's past and its inhabitants.

Second time at this venue and I was not disappointed. I was enchanted by the lights, venue and of course the music. Wonderful evening. Do yourself a favour, buy the tickets and try it!!!!

Beautiful building, the highlights were the wonderful stained glass, both new and old! 5 euro for entry which was a good price.

Located near the river Shannon this treaty stone is an interesting , historic landmark from 1691. Limerick is rich in history and this stone marks a very significant treaty. The stop is worth adding to your agenda.

Probably if you don't know what you're looking at , it's just stone on plinth.

King John's Castle also known as Limerick Castle is a 13th-century castle located on King's Island in Limerick, Ireland, next to the River Shannon. Although the site dates back to 922 when the Vikings lived on the Island, the castle itself was built on the orders of King John in 1200. Wikipedia

Nice view to take pictures. In the same shot you can get Treaty Stone and Limerick Castle. Also few benches around just to sit and relax. Very cool place

The Treaty of Limerick was reputedly signed on this stone in 1691. The treaty ended the Williamite War in Ireland between King William III of England (William of Orange) and his predecessor James II. The monument is situated on the west bank of the Shannon just south of the Thomond Bridge. There is a fine view of King John's Castle on the opposite bank.

Remarkable landmark commemorating important Irish history from the late 17th century. A lot of lives have been lost before this treaty was drawn up and literally set in stone. John's Castle is just across the bridge, good eateries and pubs are nearby as well.

Nice place for do outdoors activities. Family gathering. Friends with nature. Superb nice view.

It’s next to the People’s park and no entrance fee.

It was free so can't complain just wish it was a bigger upstairs portion. The workers were nice as well.....A nice place to kill sometime in downtown limerick. ALSO people's park is right next door kill two birds with 1 stone.

Fascinating by them contemporary and ranges oglf permanent collections. The gallery assistants were so welcoming. It's free entrance, plus good cafe and park. Thank you for the hospitality.

Nice art gallery with free entry. There's a small permanent collection, most of which is very conceptual in approach. Staff were all friendly, and there's a nice cafe to grad something to eat as well

Extremely rude and racist staff. A friend of mine was asked to leave because he got along tourists. The man said that this public art gallery needed 'booking' and that the number of tourists he got along were too many (only 12). Had he been polite about it, it's fine but he was so aggressive, and nearly laid hands on my friend.

Free entry just a short walk from train station. Great collection and great variety of pieces. Really got the mind working some incredible pieces.

free entrance, so it's automatically good, great collection, though they should fix floor upstairs

Brought partner for birthday dinner. From the moment we walked in the two waiters made us feel welcome relaxed and were so professional - they explained things on the menu so well and are a credit to the restaurant. The bread and salted crisps were divine. I had a non alcoholic cocktail and was the nicest na cocktail I have ever had. The food was amazing. So many subtle delicate flavours, unique dishes and care for presentation. The oxtail special started was a highlight - rich in flavour and just right in portion size. The venison stew - mmm tender , flavourful and rich. It was a lovely experience and again the waiters were so professional friendly and made our meal very special. Cannot recommend enough and will return.

Wonderful food, friendly service and in a lovely Riverside location, I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here. The highlight for me was the French Onion soup. It was majestic, so full of flavour & texture that I didn't want it to end!

I really enjoyed my dinner at The French Table. The food was delicious and very well thought out and presented. The service was quick and very friendly, we were made to feel very welcome. The wine list had a great choice for good value. The location is close to everything with handy parking nearby. I really recommend a visit. Thanks to all the staff for a great evening

I went here for a date night, requested a romantic table and got a perfect corner table with views of the city lights along the river. My partner and I shared two starters, a main and two desserts. The food was beautiful, the service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere was relaxed, private and very romantic. The prices are high, yet appropriate for the quality of food and service. I would highly recommend going here for a special treat.

Absolutely amazing restaurant! The food and service were great! Pairs very nicely with their bakery, La Patisserie!

A beautiful slice of French food in limerick to enjoy. Understated good food, nice service and a nice atmosphere. Well worth a visit if you like French classics

It was the most excellent food I have ever had in Ireland. Very friendly restaurant staff and cozy atmosphere. Delicious dishes, I highly recommend 7 hour lamb, tender lamb in excellent sauce. Excellent rosé wine. Special thanks to the chef on.

My fiance, her family and I visited the East Room at Plassey House for her graduation yesterday. The food the service and the ambiance were all first class. Goran and the rest of the front of house staff took care of us from the second we arrived and made our evening special. Would definitely recommend.

What an experience! The service from the maitre D was exceptional. He was very accommodating, very informative and very knowledgeable, not just with the menu, but about other countries and his experiences. The food was exquisite, the tastes were intense and full of flavour. The presentation and attention to detail was perfect. We were allowed to tour the building while waiting for our desserts. For me this is classed as a real treat to dine here as it is more expensive than other restaurants but well worth the experience. Can't wait to go back.

I can’t say enough good things about my dining experience here. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. Mr. Vincenzo Del Santo, the manager, was so personable & always made sure us, & every table there, was doing well. His passion shines through him. I highly recommend dining here if given the chance. The building is beautiful & the service, plus the great food, makes for a magical experience.

It was my first time dining in this restaurant and I really enjoyed it. The portions were tiny but the food was incredible. The menu was unique and I have not tried anything like it before. I was really glad to go there. I recommend !

Celebrated a special occasion with a delicious and luxurious lunch. Will go back for dinner. Lunch exceeded our expectations with food quality, service and convenience. We made an online reservation the day before for 12:30 Sunday. Received confirmation immediately. Sunday was quiet at the University as they are shutting down next week for staff Annual Leave break. Vincenzo and Holly took care of us. Both were so warm and personable that we felt at ease and so relaxed in this historic setting. Pace was perfect. Menu changes daily but offered 3 choices for each course from vegetarian, fish and meat. This restaurant is a gem. Go early and you may be lucky like us to initially have the restaurant and staff to yourself.

We went to the East Room last night as a table of 6 for my wife’s birthday. The tasting menu was spot on from start to finish. Everything was presented beautifully, seasoned perfectly and portions were bang on for a tasting menu. Good value for the quality of food. Favourited were the potato dish w smoked eel, and celeriac sauce and cod w prawn ravioli. The building is amazing and a great alternative venue for a restaurant. Service was fantastic with Vincenzo being very friendly and professional. Thanks for accomodating my dad. My mother had never done a tasting menu and she loved it. Service was paced very well and very friendly which was great. We will back.

Just had a wonderful dining experience at the East Room. We were celebrating a graduation and decided to splurge on a fine meal. No better place to spoil a smart graduate. Picky GF diner was most happy with her options.

The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The food is really good, with a nice variety on its menu.

Cozy place, good coffee, the toast I had was delicious and the fries were fantastic. The people working there was also amazing, definitely worth a visit! PS.: to the pink-haired girl: we forgive you. Thanks for the bread!

Did not expect the size of the food here! They were HUGE! Great taste, great coffee, lovely seating looking outside, what more can we ask.

Staff are always very friendly here. Coffee is nice, they have a selection of roasts, which is cool. Food is nice too, maybe a tiny bit pricey but it's nice for a treat. It's unfortunate since a few places fall victim to this, but I think the overall experience is more suited for eating in. Looking forward to that day post lockdown. I feel like a 5 stars is due then and you'll get more value for money.

Lovely food and have some great deals, like the lunch time special. The ingredients are excellent quality and locally sourced, which I always admire as supporting local is so important. The coffee is amazing too, and the staff are very friendly :)

The iced Vietnamese coffee is great so is the french toast. Unfortunately the bacon in Irland is not our cup of tea. The same here. But the staff was nice and we had a lovely brunch.

Best cafe in limerick by miles. Beautiful creamy coffee and that porridge would keep u full for ages. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. I have only been here twice and I should've tried this place months ago. Great value for money too 😃

We had a delicious meal here, both our sandwiches were really good and well prepared. Staff was meh. We were also seated next to a staff only room with constant traffic. Each time they opened the door, it slammed shut, which quickly got irritating and disrupted our visit.

Gorgeous breakfast in this very dog friendly café. Dogs are allowed inside! The avocado toast was a revelation. Delicious hot chocolate too made from their own special hot chocolate sauce. Great atmosphere too! Really popular.

Very delicious. I had the breakfast burger which really surprised me with how flavorful and well paired it was. I’ve never had anything with horseradish in it that I liked except this. The espresso was top notch!

the avo toast with the beautiful beetroot and hint of szechwan & cumin seeds and some incredible olive oil was divine. great quality beans used in their coffee. only thing was we felt that +€3 for the single rash of bacon on the avo toast was a bit steep, but would definitely go back! also they are pet friendly!

I was looking for a cafè to study, inside was too loud so I would not recommend it as a place to study and focus but I would definitely go again for the excellent pastry and the really good coffee. A great spot to hung with friends

Lovely place for early birds, lots of Pet around, best coffee in town, artisanal food with a good environmental farm to table.

The coffee is rich and flavorful, providing a delightful start to the day, while the breakfast menu offers a variety of fair and satisfying options that cater to different tastes.

The variety and taste marks this restaurant out as the best italian in Limerick in my opinion. Staff and service matches the intimate and homely space and atmosphere and the passion for food is obvious. Delicious food made with top quality ingredients. A real gem.

The staff are fabulous. They take care of everyone with kindness. And the food is great as well.

From the moment you walk into this little Italian gem, you’re greeted like family. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with the highest quality food and coffee. Every dish I’ve had from salads to pasta has been impressive, however their burrata and hot honey pizza is something else. I cannot say enough about the standard, all the sweet treats and desserts are amazing- again a special mention to the tiramisu!! The service is just as impressive as the food. Every member of staff goes above and beyond, but I have to give a special mention to Eoin. He’s simply the best — friendly, attentive, and somehow always knows exactly what you need before you even ask. He makes every visit that bit more special. If you’re after delicious Italian food, excellent coffee and wine, and a team that genuinely cares about their customers, this place is a must-visit.

We are long term customers, I come with both my girls weekly and Eoin is normally there. My eldest daughter has autism and today we had her support dog with us, a tiny teacup chihuahua, she was in my cardigan. We were told rudely by a guy called Martin that we had to eat outside with the dog, it was raining and wet!!! We feel we were treated so rudely with a complete lack of understanding of Autistic support dogs and my child. We are always treated brilliantly there by Eoin, but this guy Martin has absolutely no empathy and is in no way welcoming, he is in fact rude and lacking in any customer service. We left rather than sit outside in the rain, Martin was putting up an umbrella outside when we left as if we were expected to give over money to pay for a meal and sit outside in the winf and rain

Hi La Cucina, I’m sorry that this isn’t a positive review. I’ve always enjoyed coming here, and the rolls and cakes used to be excellent. The cakes were once kept safely behind glass, which made sense in such a small space. Now they’re beside the till, and I found myself leaning over to get my coffee and trying not to bump the cakes. As I was leaving, another customer’s woolly jumper brushed very close to them, which felt too close for comfort. The rolls, once beautifully made, like the ciabatta with mozzarella, pesto, and aubergine, have been replaced by a simpler sandwich. The bread was soggy, the filling minimal, and overall it didn’t feel like something worth €10.

Had a light snack with a friend to catch up, ordered the Al Pomodoro bruschetta. There was a good portion of tomatoes with garlic and olive oil on the bread but needed more bread to balance the flavour of the tomatoes otherwise you would have some left over. The mocha is a really nice drink that goes well with it. It's a good place for a bite to eat but kind of cramped. Service was very good, the staff were friendly and efficient!

Absolutely perfect place! Food is so delicious! Staff are really friendly. You can feel great atmosphere there. Really recommend! Our favourite spot in Limerick 🥰
