Where to eat: the 24 best restaurants in Youghal

Was really good food was lovely didn’t expect it to be so good for a pub the goats cheese tart was good and quit large but it was almost like a sweet thing the cheese tasted quite sweet but Maby it was naturally sweet. And the presentation of the food was pretty

Great pub with a great food and great staff. We had seafood chowder that was amazing- thick and delicious with mix of fish and clams etc. The Korean pork belly with prawns also very good. Not a big portion for 14 euro but very tasty and looks like a piece of art. Burger was really good and desserts were very cheap but super delicious. We had profitelores and pistachio tiramisu- both amazing. The place is styled after former train station. All the pictures on the wall. The bookshelf with small trains inside etc. And staff very helpful and always on top.

Incredible food. Arguably the nicest gluten free burger I've ever had. Never had a burger with BBQ pulled pork on top, but this was so good. Normally GF buns aren't toasted but this was lightly crispy and added to how nice the burger already was. Chips weren't safe so had mashed potatoe instead and was really nice. The GF brownie was also incredible after. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Staff were also fantastic. Even though there only seemed a couple of them taking care of the place, they were really looking after everyone.

Fantastic helpful, friendly staff and amazing food. Highly recommended

Great food . Seven of us enjoyed our dishes . View is beautiful of sea . Reasonably priced and would definitely go again

Really wish we could've eaten here. We ended up too late after exploring Ballysaggartmore Lodges. They have Beamish though!! Yay! Nice location, pretty beach nearby. It was a Friday night 8:30 pm.

What ever you pick from their menu will not leave you disappointed. Great staff and great food. Also a brilliant place for a party or function. They have a private bar and function room ideal for birthday / christenings ect.

Staff friendly. Food fresh and tasty. Served beer within 5 mins. Wort to visit if you are in Youghal.

Driving through town on our way from Kilkenny to Cork. We stopped at this charming little town. The restaurant is nicely decorated and warm. It was pretty busy, but we were sat immediately. We wanted something light for lunch. I ordered the soup of the day- potato and leek soup. It came with some delicious soda bread. The soup hit the spot and warmed me up on the cold, windy day. My husband ordered the curry chicken. He got half rice and half chips. It was tasty and really filling. We didn’t have any appetizers, drinks, or dessert, so our bill was only €25. The wait staff are nice and friendly. We would definitely return again.

Scenic Youghal location. Large bar area but has restaurant tables. Good good and generous helpings. Fantastic service from great staff.

We went here while On a trip away, very lovely pub staff were friendly, the food wasn’t to standard,the cups for water we had got given were really dirty on the inside, now I did tell this to the waitress and she changed them straight away for us. The soup was bland & watery. Forgot our spoons and I had requested new ones and said they would be right back but had forgotten. Waited maybe 10 mins and asked someone else who attended to it. Lovely pub but as per the bar food/restaurant it was not the greatest experience

We eat here regularly. Staff are amazing and they are very attentive, friendly and personable. They know their customers and put thought and effort in. A great local business, consistent and quality food. Also staff are great to give local knowledge. There is also a great function space and outdoor dining area! And a great pint

A good wholesome breakfast at a reasonable price served by polite and cheerful staff. What more do we need.

We attended a christening here yesterday. The place is well laid out and spacious. The staff are friendly and the food was great. Overall a great space for a small function.

Excellent food, reasonable price, fast turnaround from order to getting food. Everyone very pleasant....always, owner calls us by first name...don't know if that's a good or bad thing when the local Chinese restaurant knows you by name 🤦🏻‍♂️

The food was excellent the satay was perfectly accurate with good taste and texture the rice is also good. The chicken balls are a little greasy but not to the point I would have a issue with as the batter it light and crispy. The restaurant is ran well and service it top notch lovely staff too.

Worst Chinese food ever...Singapore chow mein now what is so complicated....never again...the colouring was even wrong.

Irean is fantastic the way she keeps the show goin g at the front desk and she is always so polite and helpful.

Very disappointing! Got a curry! Smelt and tasted like plastic! From reading the comments I presume it’s from them reheating if before selling it as loads of comments suggest it! Felt sick after eating a small amount! Very disappointed with it as I drove in and was home before I knew what it was like and it was to late to rectify it! I’ll be going to the other Chinese for new years!

Great food!

Good food and fair prices. Nice service

We as a group of northern workers stayed and it is One of the nicest, kindest, pleasantest places iv stayed in Youghal. Management are second to none. Food is top quality as well as the crack and drink. Will call again 10 out of 10.

Service has a lot to be desired. I asked for herbal tea, and waitress said they had berry tea but was unsure if it had caffeine. I ordered it with a glass of ice. I said if it had caffeine I would return it back. Black beard, a waiter with a grumpy face came out and slammed the teapot, cup and a glass of ice on the table causing a minor earthquake, and quickly vanished. I had a feeling he was angry at me. The time waiting for food was very lengthy and we almost canceled. Don't get the Nachos and food not great for price. Training in service etiquette is needed.

Atmosphere in the front third is nice but the rest is basic/average. Food was bad overall, soup was cold, portion of chips was small, toastie was tiny, the burger was the only good thing we had. Despite being a quiet night, Service was poor, empty glass for 20+ min and they didnt check on us so we had no opportunity to ask about the cold soup. Sadly a bad experience but the place could have potential.

Beautiful pint of Guinness in a proper old school pub. Had the food previously here and it was delicious.

Wether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner this place is always a safe bet. Yet to get bad food here and ive tried it on many occasions, the takeaway option is also very handy.

We've eaten twice in the restaurant and both times the service was impeccable, staff are very friendly, helpful and pleasant. The food was delicious and we would highly recommend to everyone

Very friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommend 👌

Stopped by Priory Coffee Co. on a recent trip to Youghal, and it was a delightful find! The atmosphere is modern and inviting, with moody lighting and great music that sets a relaxed vibe. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome right away. I ordered a mocha coffee, and the Badger & Dodo coffee lived up to its reputation—rich, smooth, and easily one of the best cups I’ve had in a while. The breakfast menu was a highlight. I went for the avocado toast on their gluten-free bread, which was fresh and perfectly prepared. My friend got the full Irish breakfast, and the portion was generous enough to keep us fueled for hours. They also have vegan and vegetarian options, which is a big plus for mixed groups. The only downside was that the place was quite busy, so service took a little longer than expected, but nothing major. The decor, with its nod to the historic Benedictine Priory, adds a unique charm. If you’re in Youghal and need a spot for a quality coffee or a hearty breakfast, Priory is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back next time

Great place on the Main Street! Nice menu and lovely coffee ! Delicious food and very friendly staff!

Small place that is hard to miss if you are not looking! Food was nice there, would recommend.

Lovely coffee shop with a nice style in the inside, industrial and modern at the same time. Some lovely outdoor tables with great big umbrellas to help keep you dry. I had a cappuccino on this occasion. It was nice and smooth with a dense foamy milky top. The chocolate brownie was rich, moist and indulgent. One was more than enough between two people The staff were great, dropped everything out to the outside table I had sat at

I think these where the best poached eggs I’ve ever had. It tasted very good and the sourdough was not soggy with all the things it had on it. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

The Priory in Youghal, Co. Cork is fabulous. The food is divine and delicious 😋 and the service in a very high standard. We always feel welcomed. We love the place and coming back each weekend after swimming lessons.

We arrived in town at 425 pm, most everything was closed or closing. They were sweeping floors, unlocked the door, made us a coffee and pastry. Lovely people would highly recommend it during business hours.

First time eating there and will definitely be back , honestly the nicest fish I've had anywhere , perfectly cooked and extremely well priced , my partner had the roast beef and it was really tasty and he loved the gravy

Been here few times before never lets us down . Food is lovely and staff are amazing especially Teegan who was our waitress on both days we were here (Gabor she deserves a raise ) can not fault anything here great value for money well with a visit when in youghal.

Yesterday, was here for the 1st time, and from now on its our favourite place in Youghal. Food were amazing (kids was happy too) and staff perfect. Even restaurant was full, Alex (I think is her name) was so organised, fast, kind and she made best Ice coffee's we ever drink . Special thanks to her because she made our day, you can be happy to have her. See ya again definitely.

Lovely fresh caught fish and great views of the water from the terrace, definitely recommend!

Wonderful Irish breakfast. Reasonably priced, comes with a tea or coffee, waitress was excellent.

Second night to dine here delicious food, friendly staff what more could you ask for will definitely come back

Lovely food 🍲 would highly recommend a visit. Very reasonably priced too!! The desserts are gorgeous!!

The best chips I have ever tasted, like fluffs of potato, excellent service, beautiful burger.

Almost €23 for fish (cod) chips peas Pepsi max and a bottle of water. Can't blame the takeaway it's the cost of living today that's the problem. The service here was super quick and the cod was cooked very well nice and flakey falling apart nicely. Batter could be a little bit less crispy at the ends. I suppose it just depends on how it's dipped. The food was delicious no oil or grease and the chips were big chunky soft and filling cooked brilliantly. Nice portion of large fresh peas in a bowl as a side. Prices are high but you can't rate the food, service and quality on the cost of living here in Ireland that we are all suffering with. Very busy nice table service and also the takeaway option has lots of selections. Great food portions and a very tasty meal.

Pizza had no flavour, pepperoni was cheap. Chips could have been nice if cooked properly and a larger portion for the price that's being charged. Everyone seemed a bit stressed

Great food snd Great service definitely recommend 👌

Service was fast and good selection, chips and oinion rings were Fabulous!!

Good old fashioned chipper, you know what you're getting (shame the smoked cod order wasn't in) and plenty of it Helpful and friendly staff quick to help Highly recommended

There can improve a lot with their customer service.

Just came in for a quick bite to eat and was greeted with a horrible sight of a blonde girl being overly rude to her own staff member (one in particular). I was shocked and it was quite upsetting for me to see , she continued to say ‘do you still not know how to do this I’ve showed you ten times already ‘. It was very loud and clearly to embaress her in front of customers and other staff. I will not come here again because the customer service and food may of been good but when management are treating their own workers as bad as this it’s more of a disappointment than the food itself !!!

Food was really nice and warm - chicken tenders were delicious. Not enough seats for a busy place.

Staff were nice and friendly. Food was quick and tasted great. The seating area was dirty and not cleaned at any stage during our visit for the amount of staff someone could of swept the floor and wiped the tables.

Bought two coffees, took ages to arrive, very expensive for the lack of quality/taste. Sat here writing a review as I can't drink my coffee due to it being scalding, not hot but genuinely and dangerously scalding. We also asked for some Nutella on our daughter's small ice cream, told by the guy working there that the Nutella sauce was only for other ice creams. "Computer said no" attitude.

Big extension has improved this takeaway. Looks very nice inside, very clean. Bathroom was spotless and even smelled nice. Food here is standard for the chain and wouldn't be my cup of tea but my daughter liked it so I got her food. Girl on Pizza looked like she knew what she was doing and there was plenty of staff on in general. Very expensive for what you get.

Me and my daughter went for a meal. She got the wrong order even though two people were taking it. I gave it back was apologised to Waited like more than ten minutes,went to ask how much longer the order would take and one of the staff handed me the box Which was ready minutes prior They didn’t bother letting us know the food was ready The place was empty we were the only customers there. Plus her food wasn’t the warmest. Don’t recommend not coming back again.

This is 1 of the best eating place's in Youghal. You can get great food and delicious desserts to.

Nice location, good view, bistro menu with medium level

WOW… You need to try this place in Youghal! I’ve tried multiple different dishes on the menu, and it’s always delicious (breakfast, lunch & dinner)! The experience is then made even better by the warm, friendly and attentive staff who all make a big effort. The amazing view over the ocean is another beautiful part of the experience here. It’s inside the golf club, so there’s loads of free parking which makes life easy! You don’t need to be a golfer to eat here. It’s open to everyone and I highly recommend! 10/10, five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fabulous food, really lovely staff and a stunning view! 10/10 recommend will definitely go there again!

We had a beautiful meal this afternoon, food, service and atmosphere all a 10/10. Looking forward to visiting again.

Lovely place with a gorgeous view. Excellent service by Ally and special food! Hope to come back soon!

Brilliant food and staff as well celebrated our daughter's christening! We could not fault a thing. We can wait to go back on a more regular basis. Thank you to all in table 8!

We re-discovered Table 8 Bistro recently for our occasional family lunches and had a group dinner a week ago. (Our guest reviews were excellent). The menu is balanced and very well priced, all dishes fresh and falvoursome, service friendly, professional and very efficient. Just stunning uninterrupted 180° views from inside and from the patio. Perfect place to observe Youghal for travelers in a relaxed atmosphere with good food, as well a must for locals to re-visit.

Some of the cream cakes in the fridge looked nice and it was an OK looking place but the breakfast bap was pretty boring and the black pudding in it was barely edible, white pudding would be better. Coffee was just OK, average all round. If I was looking for a breakfast again I just wouldn't go back here but hey, it filled a gap. €9.50 for breakfast bap was expensive. Essentially it's a small sandwich with breakfast stuff in it. Not a good price.

Very nice moment at Cafe 108. Leah was very professional and kind. Everything was tasty and fresh. There is a nice patio area with excellent music. We recommend!

Where to start? Took a chocolate cake and a pavlova. The cake was clearly not fresh from the day. Dry and tasteless. The pavlova was ok but doubt it was from the day. The latte was made with cream who has clearly old. The price for all 2 drinks and 2 cakes €22. Way too much.

Lovely Cafe in the heart of Youghal. Staff was nice, interior and atmosphere are nice, food was so delicious I forgot to take a photo! There is outdoor seating available as well, and high chairs for kids (staff is really accommodating too!). Prices are decent, would recommend stopping by for a brunch or coffe&cake (their carrot cake is to die for!)

The cake was stale and tasted like it had been sitting in a fridge for a week. The coffee was poor quality and the creamer was not freash. Also, expensive café, 2 pieces of cake and 2 coffees over €20. The staff member who took my order was unpleasant.

Lovely place with tasty food and careful staff. The place is welcoming, maybe due to the open kitchen, where you can see your order getting prepared, and good music. If you are in Youghal, you should try this place!

Called to this Cafe today with my 2 friends,Had 2 flat whites,coffee ,2small cream cakes,which were cold ,and tasteless,didn't even finish them 😋 at 7 euro each,pure robbery ,and no prices up ,I asked for suger,assistant said it was in wth all the sauces,WE only found 1,suger,asked again,she said they are on other tables,no help whatsoever .2 coffees ,1 tea ,2 cakes 25 euro outrageous 😳, won't be going there again 😑

Food is good always. Be it pizza or kebab. Value for money and friendly staff

Istanbul Bites is a nice takeaway. Food is good. Staff are friendly. Prices are reasonable. They have a sign up saying they prefer cash.

Eaten from here a good few times and never once had an issue. I use the app to order and pay cash when I collect and I've never had a problem with the app either. The meal deals are great value. I think it's €8 for the kids pizza meal deal (7"pizza, chips and a drink). Foods always good. Orders with pizza do take a bit longer but that's expected. Never opted for delivery so I can't speak to that.

Ordered here for the first time today and the food was great, came on time and piping hot, my partner is not the biggest fan of burgers but got one and said it was amazing. I made a mistake and ordered diet coke instead of the normal coke and the driver went out of his way to go back and get me the other bottle which he really didn't have to do so 5 stars alone for that. Will def be ordering from here going forward.

*** I’m editing the post to say that Istanbul have given me a full refund on my order. This is not something that I asked for, I received a email to say order cancel so and money into the account. Credit due to the them for fixing the issue******** First and last time ordering. Order placed at 6:10pm order delivered at 7:55pm after online system saying 45 minutes to delivery. Drive said they were busy with a large party. Nearly 2 hours from ordering time. 5 very hungry children ready to go to bed at this stage.

Ordered a meal for delivery, eaelier, 7inch pizza pepperoni, spicey with extra cheese and garlic bread, and i was'nt disappointed, nicest food i have eaten in a long long time, and it only took 35 minutes to deliver, the delivery guy was a lovely man. Chatty, smiley good humoured the girl that took my order on the phone was very helpfull, and bubbly, so thank you to both staff for being so nice.Have posted a picture.

**Unbiased regular customer review** Our family treat every week! Food is superb and great value for money. The special kabab is a must for lovers alike. And the meat feast pizza is the business!! Where else can you feed 6 people for €30?? Excellent staff and easy to talk too.

Bertie’s Bar was our favorite pub!!! Thank you for such an amazing time. Great people, lots of beer on tap, and fun beer pouring lesson! We came in for a beer and left with an experience we will never forget. Thank you for the memories. 🍻🍀🫶🏼

Great pints, brilliant staff and always a cracking atmosphere as well as all the games

I walked in here to take a quick look at a hurling match while waiting for the bus and as soon as I came in the door the owner switched the chanel straight away so I couldn't watch it, I then went back outside for a minute, next thing this man is standing at the door I asked can I go in he asks me am I buying a drink which I said no I wanted to use the bathroom as I was waiting for the bus and He says no there's a public one over there, I didn't have change and I couldn't use the bathroom he then proceeds to stare uncomfortably at me and my girlfriend while we're waiting for the bus and we quickly threw him a dirty look because his attitude was just so rude I wouldn't advise anyone to come here and waste their money on someone like that

Really nice and cozy place! Went there for a gig of The Bounty band and really enjoyed the atmosphere of this pub. The staff was very welcoming and they also have a nice beer garden. When the band was playing, they offered to create some effects with the light that made the place very nice. I highly recommend it :)

Great friendly bar ,serves the best Smithwicks in Youghal.

we called in for 3 coffees , friendly barman , great atmosphere , way bigger and better than it looks from outside . 5 euro total for 3 coffees !!

A fantastic bar with a brilliant atmosphere .The staff were so helpful and friendly as we're the locals. This is a gem in youghals Crown. A must visit .The pint of Guinness was beautiful. Well done all it was a really enjoyable experience 👍 😀.

You have to go to this pub Alan and emer are great hosts can't do enough for you and the customers are very friendly and we had such a laugh with them all will be returning as soon as possible thanks for a great day regards Robbie & carol macintyre 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥳🥳

Amazing little bar with lots of charm. Forgive me for forgetting your name but the beautiful lady from Brazil behind the bar was just wonderful, thank you. Music on a Friday gave for a great atmosphere! Will be back!!!

Very cosy little bar and friendly staff with a real fire to warm yourself on a cold night.

Cracking old school pub. Good beer, good people. I worked in Youghal for a few months and felt very welcome here immediately. Some hilarious guys drink here, always a lot of laughs. Will definitely call in again some day 👍

Best pint of stout around, old style pub. Staff are lovely and the regular drinkers are sound out, always up for a bit of banter. Great music sessions weekly also

This is THE place to go if you're looking for authentic acoustic music. Some incredible musicians playing regularly there, or if you're lucky enough an impromptu session will start up. Owner is a natural bartkeep, making all customers, regular and brand new, extremely welcome and comfortable. Couldn't recommend The Anchor enough

Had a lovely evening in the Anchor having returned from the Cork v Tipperary thriller in Pairc Ui Caoimh. The hostess is so welcoming and she is continuing a proud history of O'Sullivan family ownership of this unique Irish hostelry.

Beautiful place for drinks and gathering, great friendly fast service. Massive out door area at the back.

Lovely bar for a quiet Midweek pint (or 4). Great service. Clean and plenty of seating. Highly recommend

Very friendly bar with excellent staff, great live music and great DJs, excellent facilities for Darts.

Great bar and friendly staff and great music at weekends

Lovely cozy bar beamish on real staff very good

This is a Great Bar and it gets better Every Time We go in there,The Staff are very Friendly as are the Customers.

Excellent musical bar with pleasant staff ,good range of drinks at top prices

Loved Rendezvous!! We visited at least 3 times in the few days we were in Youghal! Everything we had was fabulous (fish and chips, vegetable soup, smokey chicken panini, cappuccino, cider etc.). If you're going to be in County Cork, Youghal is definitely a town worth stopping in and you've got to have a bite and a pint at Rendezvous!!

All great, but the hot chocolate should get like 10 stars!!!!

Beautiful food great service lovely quaint little restaurant very enjoyable experience.

The best pouched egg ever! A must try with Brunos great service.

Reopened restaurant. Honestly amazing. I have no complaints what so ever, was a 10/10 experience from the second I walked in the door, Staff is so friendly, very welcoming and the food is cooked to perfection. Portion size is brilliant and the tiramisu and Oreo cheesecake are to die for. Shall be returning more often

Has reopened in 2019 as Rendezvous Restaurant. I tried the fish and chips which was very nice indeed. The service was good and very friendly. It was busy on the Sunday I was there. The food was very good and the price is very reasonable. I would recommend it as a place for a quick snack or a full meal.

Food was good. Service was not. We asked what the soup of the day was and the waiter said Vegetable. So we ordered two vegetable soups for our girls. When the food arrived they had the wrong order for my wife and the soup was mushroom (which the girls don't like) when I mentioned this to server "you said the soup was vegetable" his reply was "mushroom is a vegetable" we ended up waiting a long time and all eating at different times.

Taylah absolutely nailed our cake. Everyone was complimenting it as they arrived at our wedding! When it came to taste it was sensational. We thought we would have enough to bring home but every slice was eaten by our guests! I would recommend Taylah to any bride and groom to be or for any event that may require a cake for

Taylah made a beautiful cake for my daughter’s 5th birthday party and it was absolutely gorgeous! I put in quite a few requests for the design which she followed down to the last detail. The presentation was incredible and had all heads turning at the party. The vanilla buttercream sponge was delicious. Thanks again!

Taylah provided us with our wedding cake on extremely short notice and did absolute amazing job. From our 1st interaction, she completely understood our priorities and was able to meet this. Value for money was exceptional and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a cake for a special occasion. Thank you so much for your help!!

We had the pleasure of ordering our wedding cake from Tay's Cake Studio, and the experience was absolutely delightful! From the start, the process was incredibly personalized. We were invited to taste various flavors, presented in the form of adorable and scrumptious sample cupcakes, which made choosing the perfect taste a delightful affair. When it came to delivery, the service was impeccable. Our cake arrived right on schedule, which was a huge relief amidst the wedding hustle. It was not only stunning to look at but also exactly as we had envisioned. Most importantly, it tasted heavenly. Every guest complimented its rich flavor and perfect texture. Tay's Cake Studio truly added a sweet touch to our special day!

Since the first day meeting Tay at a wedding fair, I never worried about my cake, I had full faith in him. Always an email away, and always ready to listen and took on every suggestion and idea. He sourced flowers to go with the colour of the wedding. He send wonder samples which was so much fun to to try all the different cakes. I would highly recommend Tay for Al Wedding cakes 💕💕💕💕

I received one of the cake tasting boxes and omg everything was amazing from the little details to the taste 10/10, would highly recommend these for anyone getting married or someone who would just like a treat it’s also a great gift to receive

What an amazing cake!! It was decorated so beautifully!! For a chocolate cake with butter icing it looked heavy but was so light and delicious .. highly recommended !! Thank you Tay 😁

Spent a lovely May bank holiday weekend in Aherne’s, room was very comfortable and big, food was fantastic and David and the team were so friendly and helpful, making suggestions as to places they recommend you should explore. Hubby and I experienced the tasting menu in the restaurant, the food was amazing and if you did not like anything they were happy to substitute. Youghal has a lot of history and we enjoyed walking around the town following the historic trails, plenty to see, the good weather helped also. Will definitely be going back again.

Both my fiancé and I have just come home from what I can only describe as an amazing experience. Both of the owners could not have been more accommodating and personable. As a GM within the hospitality industry myself I can say with sheer confidence that the food we received was unmatched by anything else I’ve ever had the pleasure of consuming. Unfortunately I became ill on the last day which may I say had nothing to do with our amazing experience within Aherns, just my medication taking its toll on me . My fiancée Conor was looked after like his was a family member and my wellbeing was checked on at every chance the staff had. From bar to restaurant and the most amazing large comfortable room we cannot fault the service and personal experience we had. We will definitely return to Youghal and Aherns in the near future. We can highly recommend this amazing townhouse , especially the service and food. Thank you for looking after us like family. Ingrid and Conor Belfast

Expert and very friendly service. Warm ambiance. Spacious and confortable rooms. We had a wonderful stay at the Ahernes. Big thanks to the whole team

Delicious food in both the restaurant and bar. Friendly and helpful staff. Very good breakfast

Food was excellent and service was brilliant. Staff were really nice and friendly

Great tasty food, amazing atmosphere, a bit expensive for not big portions.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, excellent food, and the Guinness isn't half bad either

Fantastic family owned Italian restaurant, Luigi makes everything from scratch. Would highly recommend. We had pizza,focaccia toasties and pasta dishes, everything was perfect

The best place to eat in Youghal. Real Italian quality and taste. No fuss, just great food and service. Pizza is delicious but the starters and sides are to die for.

Lovely waitress, food was amazing and good value. Fantastic gluten free options. Great place for seafood!

It was an amazing experience for Me personally as a person with multiple food intolerance gluten and lactose, finding tasty food in restaurants with my requirements is very difficult and at the end I eat simple food that can easily make at home. But in Luigi's I felt so comfortable and He offered me delicious food gluten and lactose free. The gluten free pizza was so delicious that I will definitely come back for more. If you are like me and you are craving Italian food look no further this is the place for you!!! He is so friendly and thoughtful with all the clients and the place is clean and cozy. I'm so glad I found this restaurant.

Wow! The best authentic Italian pizza I've tasted in years. A great range of Italian deserts made fresh and coffee to die for. Luigi such a friendly guy and was happy for us to bring in our little dog. We won't pass Youghal again without dropping in. Highly recommend.

I was here with a medium-sized party for dinner. The staff were courteous and prompt, and the restaurant itself was clean and mostly orderly. The day was rather warm, however, and the AC did not seem to be functioning: perhaps this was to give the restaurant an authentic sweltering Italian summer feeling. The wine was suitable and very delicious. The experience loses two stars for two reasons. The first is the pricing. Our party, due to its size, received a 10% service charge, a practice I continue to find inexplicable every time it is imposed in any restaurant. The prices I feel were not proportional to the experience provided and the quality of food offered. The second is the food. While the idea behind the selection of food was very well presented and thought-out, the quality of the dishes served varied (bear in mind this is personal opinion). The pasta dishes included a substantial pool of oil at the bottom of the bowl, suggesting an over-reliance on oil during the cooking process, I guess to create a feeling of decadence. I have yet to meet someone who enjoys eating such oily pasta. The portions were ludicrously small- it seems that something like pasta should scale up with a little more ease! These small portions unfortunately relate to the style of plates they were served in, but my fellow diners had similar complaints with their non-pasta dishes. I felt there was too little sausage on my Surf and Turf. On the positive side. The fish, steak and chips were fantastic and memorable. The pizza was enjoyed by the rest at the table although I feel it was baked at too low of a temperature to make the dough pop. The staff seem committed so I hope this review can be a source of information and not a scathing waste of time!

Had a meal here with my family, 62.50 Euro main courses for two adults and three children. Excellent value, daughter and wife both had pasta dishes with salmon and chicken which were beautiful. Other two kids shared a pizza, I had steak. Service was good, food good, no wait and an excellent gluten free choice which my wife needed. Plan to go back again soon.

The food is very good. I do like the fact they have a little area where you can sit out the back and enjoy your food. However I did knock it down a star is due to the staff. Two people who I was having lunch with got the irish breakfast. The staff forgot to give them their sausages and their toast. So we brought this to the waitresses attention. Later they got what they were looking for and then about 10 minutes later and other waitress brought up some toast. Other then that hood enough spot

This is a cosy cafe where you queue to the till for ordering. This can take a little time but the wait is worth it. Home made cakes. Good savoury food. Fresh salads. Generous coffees. Homely feel to the place with plenty tables and room. Good prices. Worth a visit

Best soup anywhere. Generous portions and very affordable. Great place for quick bites especially for the kiddies. Decent amount of highchairs available too.

Good selection of food and well presented. Plenty of dining space, two levels. Only drawback toilets upstairs. Pleasant.

For breakfast, quiet place with a very nice and familiar atmosphere. Good coffee and very good pastries. Easy to get to and easy parking. All perfect.

Charming local cafe lovely friendly staff. Delicious soup and brown bread. Bigger than it looks. Worth a visit..

Don't like frozen food. People. Like the place and it is nice. But I asked about their burgers and they said they are frozen. And twice got my order wrong to. Go. Sorry guys.

The food was delicious but the waitress and atmosphere could do with improving. There was no background music so the only sounds were of us talking and the noises coming from the kitchen so it was a bit awkward to have a conversation. The waitress was very quiet and just inexperienced maybe but it was an uncomfortable experience which is a shame as the food was lovely. Would recommend a take away instead of eating in.

SHOCKING!!! I've had microwave packs that tasted better! Ordered Chana Chicken- chicken was at least a day old,didn't taste of anything, chickpeas tinned, still crunchy probably just out of the tin there and then. Sauce was watery a.f. , no trace of veggies Jalfrezi - no trace of turmeric or ginger or not even onions or pepper. Just some curry powder and a lot of chilli powder in it. Basmati rice, had better uncle Ben's packs. No music whatsoever. The waiter has to turn the light on in the toilets for you if you need to use them. No surprise there as it's completely empty and probably have to keep the costs down Avoid at all costs!

Worst Indian I ever had. Meat samosa are tiny with almost no meat. Popadum was gone soggy. Korma sauce was curdled. rice smelled off. Naan bread had some flakey orange substance falling out of it and was burnt. Takeaway itself smelled damp and mouldy. Avoid at all costs

Horrendous. Ordered Chicken Korma not difficult to get right. The sauce looked curdled and it had no flavor. The poppadoms tasted of burnt Grease. Although I have never I stepped foot inside this restaurant I sincerely doubt it's run by Indian people they would not turn out this food. I was able to eat the rice the rest went in the bin. I was genuinely afraid of getting food poisoning. Also the nan was stone Cold and tasteless and just had raw garlic grated on top. This place should be avoided.

Eaten takeaway twice recently, lamb korma not great 4 or 5 chunks of not very tender lamb in ok sauce, u pay extra for rice. Had vegetable biryani, did not taste good and not appetising in appearance. Nice staff at counter.

Delicious food. We called ahead to ask about vegan dietary requirements and the staff were so helpful accommodating. All of the dishes we got were really tasty. Definitely recommend.

12 of us booked for a meal on a friday night, service was terrible had to clear own table as the waitress was to busy on her phone, waited over an hour for meal got rice first then waited another good 10 minutes on curry which was Luke warm, then they decided to bring nan bread once our meal had finished. Spoke to the chef and she couldn't cope with the large order she should explained all this before taking an order...STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!

If I could give zero stars I would, I order from here quite regularly but on this occasion I ordered for collection. When I arrived home and the pizza was very dry and was burnt not just on top but on the bottom . And the topped chips I ordered were not cooked the chips were par cooked. I rang the shop to ask them for my money back as the food was not up to standard. The manager said yes come down and I will give you a refund as apparently they used "different cheese" hence why my pizza was burnt. My partner went to the shop to return the food but when he arrived the manager said there was nothing wrong with the pizza that it was just "well done" . He then proceeds to tell him him or myself are not welcome in apache youghal anymore because we made a complaint once 3 years ago . To be honest I've never experienced anything like this before but generally if my food is not cooked correctly I will return it . I just did not expect to be told I am no longer welcome there because we complained about burnt pizza and undercooked chips. I am disgusted with apache youghal . This is not how you treat loyal customers.. And I really feel some customer service training would be greatly beneficial for the management in apache youghal. I do not find it appropriate for a manager to call me "love" in any instance .

Got delivery of the Don Kebab pizza from apache youghal. Fast delivery but looks noting like the advertised pizza .. probably only 5 pieces of doner kebab on it... Still tasty but nowhere near as advertised

Absolutely disgusted. I love apache but this was cold and the cookies were raw in the middle

One of the best pizza in town

Order from this place quite regularly, at the start amazing couldn't fault it!! Then the late delivery started, another night hour and 20 mins and they forgot our ice cream (i got over it tbh and just left it, been fair they rang on our next order and gave the ice cream which was fairly sound as I was just gonna leave it, don't wanna be a moaning mertial) but last night topped it, I ordered at 7.50pm told food would be there around 9 which was quite long but this often popped up and the food might arrive quicker so over an hour later my partner rang and I also contacted just eat as its happened before, our reply from apache "were busy" reply from just eat "wait another 10 to 15 mins" like seriously...so we wait and waited in between they updated my order as delivered when it wasn't!!! It was hitting close to the 2 hour mark at this stage which is a disgrace so I once again rang them, he said the food left about 7 mins ago he would ring the drive to get him to go to us first, we'll that clearly didn't happen I waited another 10/15 min after the call to actually get my food, again all we got was "sorry were busy" then the food... it was actually cold the only thing that was some bit warm were the soggy chips and the garlic bread .... my ice cream melted... guys beyond disappointing I loved this place but as iv said there's only so much I can take before I just stop coming here, real shame cause when the service and food is good it's good but they don't seem to be able to handle themselves when busy at all everything gets ridiculously delayed

Great food. Great service. Omar is always a pleasure to deal with

Ordered a pizza from here and I received it in under 10 mins. It is my go to place in youghal

Great curries. Got recommended to this place and it didn't disappoint. Good work Jav.

The curtains don't match the drapes From the outside you wouldn't expect much but the food is surprisingly good quality Ordered a tikka masala and chips. The chicken was melt in mouth tender and chips were homemade and as good as more expensive places in the area Worth a visit, you won't be disappointed

Nice food can't complain and friendly staff. But the premises would give a health inspector a heart attack, but that's part of it's charm and gives the customer a good laugh while waiting for the order. The toilet has to be seen to be believed and is like something from Kolkata, be cleaner to go on a lane outside. Good food and good humour all around for Youghal's top restaurant. Shouldn't be too long before it gets a Michelin star.

Totally dissatisfied, I was going to give it a try as I am just after moving to the Youghal area and looking to find my go to Indian takeaway. I am a 10 min drive from their location. Had 2 beers so ordered, €27 paid €3.50 for Delivery on just eat. Order accepted. Went for a shower saw a missed call. They rang looking for another €7 delivery charge. So that’s €10.50 now just for delivery for a 10 min drive. Ahhh… NO Thanks. RipOff. Won’t ever darken your door, Wake up and do business properly.

Was very dissapointed with the kebab i ordered last week....chips were gorgeous....but i did not like the kebab taste or how it was presented....i paid 16.50 to have it delivered.....and didnt eat any kebab except for 1 bite...my son gets food here a lot and his kebab never has resembled what was sent up to me

Absolutely beautiful food . I had the chicken tikka , rice, naan bread & poppadoms .. all for under €20 & i got it delivered.. will definitely be getting again. Thanks guys x

There is something inherently wrong with Irish people when a place like this needs to serve pizza, quarter pounders and fish & chips. I ordered a lamb jalfrezi today and it was amazing. I can't change the Irish people, but take one day out of your week, order some food off the indian/Pakistani menu here and experience something outside a fish & chip or a generic quarter pounder. I can't sy too much as I only had one dish, but these guys do it right.

I got a kebab and chips here last Sunday. The chips were among the best I've had anywhere but the kebab was a big let down. The meat was tasteless and not a hint of spice in the sauce, very bland. Pitta bread and salad were good. I'd go back again for the chips but not for the kebab.

Went here for a takeaway a couple weeks ago. Tried to order online from their website first and then collect. Once you place the order, you have to wait for them to accept it. After 15 minutes this wasn’t accepted so my husband went to the shop and they said the machine wasn’t working so my husband ordered again with them and paid. At some point the next day they accepted the original order and we were charged again. We have tried to go in twice when they were listed as being open but were closed, we paid in case there so can’t take it up with our card, and you can’t contact them through the website. The food was fine, and the naan bread was really nice. We probably would have gone back but not after the ordering experience.

I can't fault the food here so far, burgers are tasty, chips delivered hot, the spicy chicken wings are delicious.

I ordered food at 7:03pm and it got delivered at 8:35pm. The food was stone cold and the chips were inedible and had to be thrown out We also never received a drink I am severely disappointed 😞

Dog was happy with frozen, watery fish and masala was just 🤢

Litteraly the Best Chipper in the Town of Youghal. There Food is so Tasty, Especially the Chips. I Enjoy Every Meal I have Ordered every Time I get it. Staff in Bites are Very Friendly and Helpful. Delivery is Very Fast, They don't Keep You Waiting. Prices of Food is also Fantastic. Great Portions, I would Reccomend Bites Chipper 100%.

Best takeaway in Youghal! I got party order 4 donner kebabs 5 large pizzas chips muchi box and some side orders it was delicious everyone loved the food and how fresh it was definitely will be back for more thanks guys Staff was very kind 👌 keep up the good work 👌

New cafe/deli in Youghal. Small but cosy. There is places to sit inside but not too many. Food looks amazing and what I ate, even though very small was very tasty. Coffee I had was excellent, so much so, I went back and had another a couple of hours later. Also good value at €2.50 for an Americano and €2.50 for a Sausage Roll. Looking forward to trying more on the menu of this authentic Italian experience.

Amazing Pizza! The pizza buffala and bruschetta was full of flavor, fruity, crispy and real mozzarella cheese. They even serve Sicilian lemonade. Also the sweet treats are worth to try!

If you want to feel like you're in Italy, this is the place. Luigi will serve you delicious dishes made on the spot . Nothing artificial, tasty home cooking. And this espresso

5 stars across the board. Great food, coffee and atmosphere. Please treat yourself sometime to a dine-in pizza at Luigi’s for the full experience 😍

Innovatively designed pastries. An absolute abundance of gluten free options. Amazing sandwiches with fresh ingredients, stunning bread. The fresh olive oil in the sandwiches instead of butter really places the sandwhiches as incomparable to anything else around. Great to see Luigi back in Youghal!!! His commitment to operating a restaurant in Youghal against all odds is awe-inspiring.

Great traditional style pizzas and pasta. Good selection of baked sweets and loaves of bread also available.

Great place for an awesome pie. Large portions all around. Some of the best pizza crust I’ve ever had! Grab an order of Bocconcini for an appetizer if you’re super hungry. Delish! Desserts look wonderful but we were too full to get anything.
