                                                      Down in Dublin for the night and a Google search turned up The Cow Pub. After some discussion we decided to give it a go. We were not disappointed 😊 My wife had the fish and chips and I had the burger. Both meals exceptional. Dessert I opted for the banana cake and again, just delicious. Service was also really warm and welcoming. My wife has a dairy intolerance and Joe, our host, was understanding and checked everything was OK with our order and then confirmed again when the dishes arrived. Anyone in the area we would highly recommend The Cow Pub.

                                                      Last night in Dublin after 11 day tour. Looked for a restaurant near hotel and booked this establishment. Reviews were very good and we were very impressed with food, drink and especially the service. Hats off to John our waiter. Find this place and enjoy.

                                                      Nice space and good atmosphere for the day in it. Burger special was dry and slightly overpriced at €25. Starters were nice, good flavours and portions. Value for money wasn’t there. Staff were friendly, but there seemed to be a lot of confusion around drinks orders.
