Canteen
26 Catherine Street, Limerick
About
Canteen is widely regarded as the most serious kitchen in Limerick city. It sits on Catherine Street in the Georgian quarter, a small, pared-back room where the focus is squarely on the plate: a short, seasonal menu of modern Irish cooking built on good produce, changing often and cooked with real precision. It has built its reputation quietly rather than through fanfare, and it is the name locals give first when asked where to eat well in the city. The room is small and it books up, so reserve ahead, especially at weekends and around a Munster match.
