If you are at Maynooth, don't miss this place. My wife and I explored a lot of restaurants in Maynooth and this one was the favorite. We have many different things, mussels, calamari, lobster, seafood risotto, tiramisu and Panna cotta with a bottle of wine. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The staffs were super friendly and always around (more than three were actively helping with our food). Very memorable experience.. will recommend 👌

Bistro 53 is a fantastic local gem in Maynooth! It has a lovely, quiet vibe, pleasant ambient music, and fantastic coffee. It's the perfect place to drop in for a peaceful solo break or to catch up with friends. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend a visit!

A very nice meal at bistro 53. We had the early bird menu on a sunday which was good value, two courses for around €30. We didn’t have a booking which wasn't an issue, although I'd make a reservation if you plan to visit for dinner

Dinner for one...
Had a three course meal consisting of Fois Gras, Steak and Panacotta.
The duck liver was cooked to perfection, didn't really enjoy brown bread that was served with it, as the sauce made it soggy in places but the flavours were good.
The steak was tasty and served medium rare as requested and they swapped my chips with mash without hesitation. The onions served with the peppercorn sauce was finely chopped and superb flavour combination. Cleansed the palate with a mojito and enjoyed the started focacia bread with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
The desert was well balanced, with the fruit compote and stawberries as a lovely side. The home made biscuit is sweet.
Lovely atmosphere, quite romantic and the waiters are responsive and attentive.
All round good meal out with plenty of meal options. Definitely a lovely meal out and would dine in again.
Waiters are so elegant and stylish, can't fault their lovely manners and they make the meal a wonderful experience.

We were in this Restaurant on Sunday, had dinned here once previously and found it excellent however, very disappointed this time, rack of Lamb was tough and fatty, consistency of mash too soft, very small amount of veg, we also had Desert and Coffee, Overall presentation not good, food just Ok Won't be back ,

We had lunch here several times during our stay in Maynooth. The welcome was refined, the service attentive, and the food of great quality. As the pictures show, €18.95 for a lunch set menu offers excellent value for money.
