Bistro 53 Maynooth

"Excellent customer service. Very fast and kind. Nice meals with usual prices. The only bad is the Coke in a small glass full of ice on two minutes with no gas."

"The Mediterranean in Maynooth. I’ve just eaten in this superb restaurant. I walked in out of a cold lashing sleet storm, and was immediately transported to a high class Mediterranean Restaurant. Sublime food, great service, and a perfect ambiance. I’ll let my pictures speak for themselves."

"Lovely restaurant, very busy Saturday afternoon & quite noisy. The food was excellent, we had the two course menu & a bottle of very nice wine. Very good value, the staff were efficient and professional. I will return. I would suggest booking."

"Had a lovely meal here. I was on my own and skipped the starter to ensure that I had plenty of room for the ribeye steak with roasted veg and mashed spuds. They were happy to bring me some more peppercorn sauce when I ran out. It was all gorgeous. For drinks I had a bottle of Forst beer, followed by two glasses of delicious red wine and a glass of grappa to finish of with the cheese platter. The cheese platter was alright, but not great. Giving 4 stars rather than 5 because of the mealy mouthed no tap water policy, which is self defeating. I noticed that the owner will quip “why you want free water if water is not free for the business”. Well it is (almost) if it comes from the tap. Anyway, the place is great, good atmosphere, well worth going out of your way to have a meal there."

"Nice place, a little on the more expensive side but tasty enough food. They also do a set menu for €26. Set in a central location on main street in Maynooth with a host of pubs nearby."
