A feisty Irish restaurant owner has slammed an Australian tourist who wrote a review complaining the jacket he left behind in the eatery had not been posted to Sydney.

The Australian tourist visited Eala Bhan in Sligo, north-west of the Republic of Ireland, but left his wind breaker in the restaurant.

When the owner failed to send it back straight away he left an angry review on TripAdvisor accusing the restaurateur of lacking integrity.

Displeased by the three-star review - well below the 4.5 star average - irate owner Anthony Gray hit back mercilessly with a diatribe of his own.

'I apologise that I had not immediately sent your belongings back to Australia,' Mr Gray began.

'I should have done a Joe ninety on it and hot tailed it up to the local post office and made your jacket a priority but unfortunately these things don't always happen the way you may have planed,' (sic) he wrote.

The Sligo native then explained that he has young children 'running around the house like gladiators and tearing to pieces while not going to bed on time, rising like ninjas at dawn.' (sic)

'I should have pushed this way up my priority list but forgot and while all of this is going I'm very busy busting a gut here and in the UK promoting my beloved Sligo.'

Mr Gray then takes aim at the reviewer's accusations, calling him a hypocrite.

'I mean you are butchering my name insofar as my forgetfulness yet it was your forgetfulness that has us here!' he wrote.

Not content with the brutal takedown he had delivered thus far, the furious foodie turned his attention to his target's homeland.

'Finally I just checked the weather forecast in your part of sunny Australia and I reckon you will be fairly safe insofar as your lack of windbreaker......jaysus it's roasting in your spot boi!! You lucky duck!!!' (sic) he said.

Mr Gray then assured the forgetful man that his jacket was on the way.

'Your possessions are en route you will be glad to know!!! and as far as my honesty is concerned I'm not even going to charge your credit card for the post.'

The Irishman then winds up his rant with a final jab at the reviewer's fashion sense.

'Next time you visit the beautiful Emerald Isle and my County I'll bring you shopping locally for a new Wind breaker as far i see its a bit of a crime against fashion.' (sic)

Mailing a jacket from Sligo to Sydney using An Post, the Irish postal service, would cost at least $40.
