“ No.3 went above and beyond for our group from NLN Navan. We had a group of additional needs students out for lunch yesterday at No. 3. They opened an hour earlier for our group to fit in with our schedule and also allowed us to pre order our lunch to accommodate our time frame which was very much appreciated by us. The candles were lighting and our group were made to feel very welcome. Food was excellent as always with special mention from the students about the brownies being the best yet! Great gluten free options on the menu too. Overall a great experience with excellent service. Thank you so much! ”
“ It was our last night in Ireland, and this place satisfied us in so many ways. The food was amazing, and I wish my stomach was larger so I could order everything on the menu We had chicken wings, thai red curry chicken popcorn bowl, cauli wings, meatballs, bravas, fish tacos, cheesy garlic pizza bread, steak + fries, gnocchi, and tiramisu. Everything was uniquely flavorful and delicious! The owners, a mother and son duo were friendly, thoughtful and went above and beyond. They both stopped to chat with us and even took the time to help us plan our next route. We wish we had found this restaurant and bar earlier! Thank you for the memorable chats, taste bud awakening food, beautifully crafted drinks, and to die for desserts! ”
“ No.3 in Collon, Co. Louth is an absolute hidden gem. From the moment you step inside, the place charms you with its quaint, quirky atmosphere — it's full of character and warmth. The menu is a dream, especially for anyone looking for gluten-free options, with most dishes either naturally GF or easily made GFO. The food itself is nothing short of outstanding: packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with real care and creativity. The service was fantastic too — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It's rare to find a spot that nails every element, but No.3 does it effortlessly. I will definitely be back! ”
“ The best experience I’ve had in a restaurant, the food and drinks are unbelievable, really nice. Staff members very friendly and helpful. Great service, I really recommend this restaurant and I will go back again for sure. ”
“ Lovely restaurant. Brilliant staff and delicious food. I went for lunch with family - we shared tapas - patatas bravas and also chicken wings which were gorgeous. I opted for pulled pork sandwich and it equally was very tasty. Reasonable priced as well. Will return! ”
“ I was meant to write a review from my first visit 5 years ago. That review would of been 5 stars and it still remains after 6 more different visits. Possibly one of the best restaurants in the country. The food is spectacular, simple ingredients but cooked really well with so much flavour. The ambiance is perfect, great outdoor and indoor seating. This really is a hidden gem amongst so many food business in Ireland. I would travel a long distance to get a table here. We had our wedding dinner last year and the service/food still remained so high. Staff on each occasion were very accomadating and they really cater for kids too. The kids menu even has quality about it compared to other establishments. Highly recommend this place for a quick lunch (which has very good 3 course deals) or a family function. Credit to the chefs and staff for doing a brilliant job. ”
“ Beautiful venue, brilliant service and gluten free options. Food is mediocre, personally I would reduce the sizes vs invest in more sophistication to match the climate. Food is not bad and it’s honest but you expect to come and eat something exciting that you wouldn’t be able to recreate easily in your own kitchen. ”
“ No.3 Wine Bar & Restaurant is amazing! The food is fresh, full of flavor, and so well-prepared. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing meal. ”
