The best bistros in Ireland, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Everett's comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Dundalk and Waterford.

Rank 1. Everett's
Modern Bistro
The vaulted brick cellar alone is worth finding a babysitter for. Everett's is a bistro in the heart of Waterford, Ireland's oldest city, where the cooking leans modern but keeps Irish produce at the center rather than as a talking point. The menu is sensibly priced without feeling like a concession, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand signals that the kitchen is doing more than the room asks of it.

Rank 2. Square
Modern Bistro
Marble-topped tables and a convivial room set the tone at this modern bistro in Dundalk, the sibling of The Courthouse in Carrickmacross. The menu name-checks Irish producers, then quietly pivots to Korean fried chicken, which tells you most of what you need to know. The format rewards sharing: a few snacks, a few larger plates, good company. It's the kind of place where no one is trying too hard, and the food is better for it.
