“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2012 NEW

Ate here on a Sunday night & while it was nice overall the food could have been more flavoursome. My friend opted for the early bird which at €25?was good value but he said the main course lacked flavour. I had a salad which at €15.95 was a bit pricey & the ingredients didn't quite marry. Pleasant service & overall... More

“Yummy Food and Lovely Atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

My husband and I went to Richys for our Wedding Anniversary and we had a super night. The food was really yummy and the service was excellent. Richy came out to see if we enjoyed our night which I thought was a lovely touch. We will definately be back again. More

“Food was acceptable, but nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2012

We had heard such good reviews about this restaurant that we were excited about visiting it and eating there, but afterwards we were left a little disappointed. The interior of the restaurant is quite nice and it has a nice ambience about it. There are two menus on offer and there is quite a wide variety of cuisine on offer,... More

Dear Tommycork Thank you for your review. First I would like to say that yes we are a family restaurant and we very rarely see children in the restaurant so late, so this just must have been a once off night. Something like this cant be helped in the restaurant business as we always need to feed are guests. I'm... More

“Belated thanks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2012

belated thanks to Richy and his crew for making us so welcome a year or two back when we were in Clon on holiday. Weare are very enthusiastic about food and eating out is the main feature of all our holidays. An early visit to Richy's was enough to convince us that we should return and indeed we chose the...

“Excellent food and fun!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2012

I recently enjoyed a fantastic cooking class with Richy. The class was extremely interesting and fun, small numbers meant we had individual attention. Richy has a friendly, fun personality which is reflected in his method of teaching as well as his impressive menu. Following the class we enjoyed the food we cooked with a free flow of wine! Fantastic food... More

The place is very cozy, candles and nice lights that make you feel comfortable. I got the beef with curry that was on the Early bird menu. It is recommended Tiger Bird and i got it but no big deal. I was ok, nothing special but good amount. My girlfriend got chicken with a lovely gravy sauce, yummy. One thing... More

HI thanks for your review from you recent visit, it has been well recieved , I would like to clarify that the machine on the wall is a verre de vin system and not a magic wine machine( although it would be cool) if such machine existed ! ) It simply puts a layer of co2 over the wine to... More

“Absolutely superb food and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2012

Felt compelled to write a review after an absolutely wonderful visit to Richy's on Easter Monday. We were a large party (4 adults, 4 young children and a baby) and were accommodated very well in the bar/bistro area. Richy's is split into two parts, a more informal quirky cafe to one side and a bar/bistro for the evenings on the... More
