A multi-generational family owned pub in the middle of Navan town. Right on the Square next to the…read morebig bull. Smyth's bar is a quirky bar with a long and narrow bar and lounge where loads of beer and other memorabilia adorn the various nooks and crannies. They pour a very creamy pint of Guinness, which only has a couple of yards to travel from their kegs to the lines. They also pour local craft beers, and have a very wide range available. But perhaps the best bit is the Beer Garden, it is the best kept secret of this pub (until now). It is an oasis in the middle of a bustling town. A perfect retreat on a sunny day. There is also pool and darts for those who love their traditional pub games. There is often musicians strumming away to add to the laid back vibe of the place. Are you the designated driver? Well lucky for you their is a very well stocked off licence there too for you to pick up some of your favourite drinks to enjoy at home. Sadly they don't take card payments, but there is a BOI Atm right next to the front door.

Ate here last night - was a short notice thing. Had planned to eat elsewhere, but were ahem,…read moreuninspired by the place we found ourselves in. One of the locals (there was 6 of us) suggested this place. Said it used to be called the Wine Bar, and everyone still calls it the wine bar, despite it being called Chez Sara. Called them and they said they'd take us at 9pm. Boy was I glad we moved here :-) It's a simple enough menu - lots of fish, some steak, and a few other things. I had mussels to start, and lemon sole as my main (being one of my favourites). Around the table people had pork belly, open vegetarian lasagne, chicken, and fish. Everyone was delighted with their food. It's modestly priced, really delicious food, with a basic, kinda French style to it. We polished off some house red and white (also great), and even went for desserts. I thought my tarte tatin was slightly below par versus the rest of the meal, but that's basically looking for something to be picky about :-) I would recommend this for anyone : tasty food with friendly staff in nice, simple surroundings. Excellent - I shall return.

Why did I go 'Chez Sara'? Well it was a special occasion you see. I lost a bet, and my friend - who…read moreobviously won the bet - decided that I would take him to the restaurant. Guys these days... One star for the location. This restaurant is located in Malahide, in a little street just a few steps away from the sea. One star for the place. The restaurant has a very intimate feel about it. It is not very big, the table are made of old French boxes, walls are covered in famous vintage pictures, everything is simple and welcoming. One star for the food. I had fishcake as a starter, amazing and tasty. Then I had some cod with potatoes as a main, and that was equally beautifully cooked and tasty. And of course, the place being a wine bar I had some white wine, Picpoul. Just a glass, but what a glass ! One star for the waitressing. The waiting time was perfect, although I was starving ! The waitresses were very nice at all times. One star for the experience. The entire evening went really well overall. I will definitely go back and bring friends - even French friends ! I recommend 'Chez Sara' and give the restaurant a 5 star in a heartbeat. In the end my friend didn't remember the bet and invited me... Shhh I won't say if you don't ;) ***Update*** I came back to the place with the same place. We are losing 1 star here... The foie gras was presented on white bread. Shocking! It's no pâté! The hand cut fries were wedges. The textures wasn't right either. Otherwise the service was great and the overall experience very nice :)

5 out of 5 due to several reasons…read more #1: Amazing employees. Maybe it's because its the countryside Irish but as soon you go in you are warmly greeted. You will notice they are all italian which gave me an even more confident my coffee would be amazing. #2: Vegan option: I'm not vegan but they have great vegan option for vegans. But the non-vegan options were delicious as well. The croissant I ordered was buttery, and flaky. The strawberry jam tastes like home made without any added sugar. #3: Affordability: Compared to Dublin, this place is a steal. Finally: A++ go get your coffee and food so you can go walk around Bray or even hike up that mountain.

It only holds about 15 people. But the food, coffee, and service is about as good as it gets. These people are passionate about what they do. I come specifically for the awesome vegan Caravaggio sandwich (on ciabatta). Everything is freshly made by them and unlike anything you will get anywhere else. Except maybe Italy! There are usually lots of Italian customers there, speaking Italian. This is a very good sign. The place is full of interesting old books people are free to browse. A quirk is an underlying 'cat' theme. Quotes and pictures about cats all over. Hand drawn images of cats by customers also adorn the walks, as to Italian record albums. I come way out of my way to come here regularly and will continue to as long as possible. Note: their fabulous bread selection comes fresh daily from the Firehouse bakery in Delgany.

Absolutely incredible meal here last night. We had the tasting menu with paired wines and…read moreeverything was so delicious and exciting. Loved the pacing of the meal, we had it over the course of three hours and didn't feel in any way rushed which was so lovely. My favourite thing was getting to eat delicious very high end food in a more casual and relaxed environment, there was nothing stuffy or pretentious about the place, which can be the case in a lot of fine dining restaurants. We sat by the window and was lovely to see out on to all the fabulous colourful barges on the canal. Will 100% be back and telling everyone about here! A+

There are ample sitting spaces in the main shop as well as upstairs. They also serve food like tapas, sandwiches, and other snacks. There's even an expresso bar. The best part is that because they are a wine bar you may request a complimentary sample of a wine and then purchase the bottle and drink it right there. Many wines are even 20% off or right around €10 for a bottle. We stopped in because it was raining but ended up finishing the whole bottle and even contemplated getting a second bottle but the weather had cleared so we were off to continue our sight seeing. Dangerously fun but strongly recommended.

Was kinda empty when we arrived, but both guys working were super friendly and, after learning we were from the US, were quick to adapt the conversation. One has a good friend that moved to Indiana, the other was a huge fan of Andrew Luck (Our quarterback for the Colts). We talked beer, American sports, and they could not have been friendlier. After I finished my Guinness I was hankering for some whisky. One of the guys showed me the local stuff and I, being intrigued, ordered a shot. He came back and warned me it was 11 euros. Omg how nice was that? So I ordered another Guinness. My wife doesn't drink beer, so they made her a Sex on the Beach cocktail that she loved. Around 10 a two man band started playing music. They were great. One of them seemed to be playing percussion on a wood box. We had never seen anything like it. I had two other bars on the list to visit tonight so we left prematurely. The second stop absolutely sucked. The bartender had no personality and wouldn't even consider mixing a drink for my wife. I wish we had stayed at McPhails all night.

Very, very cozy pub in front and a larger bar area in back where live music is frequent. They have a good-sized beer garden with heater lamps as well. For the ladies, there is a hair straightener in the women's toilets that you can use for €2. I did not use it, but I have to say I haven't seen such amenities in a pub before. Definitely a place worth checking out.
