Description: Housed in a picturesque building resembling an oversized dollhouse, the award winning Wild Geese Restaurant is a true gastronome's delight. The restaurant has several cosy rooms with open fires, and this refined interior - together with the use of the best local produce - makes this one of the most sought after restaurants in Limerick. The food is classical with a modern touch and is cooked in the simplest ways in order to maximise the flavours and tastes of each dish served. This high standard of culinary excellence is established by David Foley, whose masterful cooking skills have previously earned restaurants AA Rosettes. His talents have also led to The Wild Geese Restaurant being listed in the Bridgestone Top 100 Restaurants Guide and Georgina Campbell's Jameson Guide, as well as winning the Best Restaurant in Munster in The Jacob's Creek Restaurant Award 2007.

Excellent menu, very well prepared and presented. Our second visit and every bit worthwhile it was to come back for such a lovely meal; the service made us feel very relaxed and comfortable before retiring for the night. More

We ate in this restaurant recently for the first time and we were delighted with the food, service and atmosphere. The service was top class along with the food- we found the price to be very reasonable- €35 for three courses. Would definitely recommend More

Every year when it comes to special occassions (eg birthday, anniversary etc) & my hubby wants to take me out, there is only one place I want to go to - The Wild Geese in Adare. The location is lovely, the proprietor, Julie is friendly, professional & always remembers our faces which I really like. The atmosphere & ambiance is... More

We went to the Wild Geese as a treat and to be honest was very disappointing. The food was average and the service was'nt great either. With so many great restaurants in Adare, I wont be goin back. The Blue Door and the White Sage are both excellent and great value. More

The restaurant is in one of the beautiful old-world cottages which line the main street of Adare. We were a party of three and we really enjoyed the preprandial aperitif and olives in front of a roaring real coal fire - a great introduction. Our first impressions were confirmed when we were brought into the cosy dining room. My wife... More

Its been several years since we had eaten in the Wild Geese, no reason other than probably having too many options available to us. The food was absolutely outstanding, we will be back very soon!!! More

This was our 3rd visit and we were not left disappointed. Drinks served beforehand in the sitting room with an open fire help set up a relaxed atmosphere. Starter of scallops on black pudding was perfect but very filling. The smoked salmon stuffed with crab meat was delicious. For mains I had pheasant and my partner had venison. The pheasant... More

My son and I ate at the Wild Geese 2 years ago and had a very pleasurable experience. We sat in the quaint, comfortable lounge and were asked if we'd like wine served there. However this time, Nov. 2011 they seemed in a bit of a hurry. We were seated very quickly without an opportunity to relax. Then it took... More
