We are located just off Eyre Sq across from Brown Thomas Department Store. Serving excellent food in a casual environment with warm hospitality.

Owned by the O’ Meara Family, Maxwells is family run Restaurant. We are proud to be a Neighbourhood Style Restaurant, offering premium freshly prepared comfort food, made with quality ingredients, sourced locally and served by a team who enjoy the hospitality industry. Built in 1866, we owe our name to the original proprietors John F McNamara and his wife Elizabeth Maxwell.

Adjacent to Eyre Square, on the corner of Williamsgate and Eglinton Streets we are well placed to serve the needs of both locals and tourists. Our menus offer something for everyone, young and old.
