Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We just had main courses with sides, arrived hot and very tasty. Also quite good value for money (by Irish standards). Staff were great, we were mostly looked after by Kevin.

Greeted and given a nice quiet table. Owner came to say hello and asked if we were ready to order. Starter was prawns in garlic, similar to pil-pil, it was amazing followed by chicken supreme which was just that, supreme!! The sauces, the flavours are...mouth watering and served with sun dried tomatoes. Wow! A lovely Malbec to accompany the meal, followed by a drink or two in a very nice pub across the road. Thanks for giving us a great night!More

Really poor service! The restaurant was empty but was left sat waiting for ages and seemed more of a chore then for someone to come to us. Steak was as tough as an old boot!

Love cafe 31. Food and service really good. One of our party was caeliac and no gluten free beer. Can’t understand why. Disappointing but otherwise great

We were greeted at the door by a very scruffily dressed man,in scruffy jeans ( a major put off in my book) service was good. Food was average though the menu is very limited. Requested Cheesecake was a cholately gloop served in an ice cream...glass. We have been here many times,but wont be rushing backMore

First time visiting this restaurant. Food is fantastic. My friend and I both had the prawn dish to start, it was divine. I had the buttermilk chicken burger and my friend had the spaghetti bolognaise. Both dishes were excellent. We shared dessert which was cheesecake....Great food, excellent prices. Can't wait to go againMore

Just moved the area and tried out Cafe 31. A great spot for families and couples alike. Menu is strong and quality was very good for all dishes we ordered. Portion size is very generous but not at expense of quality. Service friendly and efficient....Delighted to have found this place on our doorstep.More

Table for 6 adults on a Sunday night, which just happened to be Halloween. Greeted on arrival and COVID certs checked. Most tables are set-out in American diner style booths. OK for 4 adults but a tight uncomfortable fit for 6. When shown to one...of the booths we asked to be moved. We were accomodated without any trouble at a larger table in the back of the restaurant. We had a selection of starters, bruchetta, Sticky Chicken, Caesar Salad, Garlic Bread and soup. All very well received and enjoyed. For mains, Pollo Fungetto x 2, Prawn Provensale x 2 and the 31 Burger. Everybody was happy, no complaints but the star of the show was the burger. A bottle of very acceptable, reasonably priced, Malbec plus a number of glass of white (at €7) and some soft drnks rounded off a very enjoyable meal. The menu isn't very extensive but based on our experience what is offered is well prepared, good quality and generous portions. Pricing is at the lower end of mid-range and very good value. Service throughout was friendly, efficient and unobstrusive. Recommended.More
