We had the goose liver, seafood pasta and the Steak filet and everything was excellent. Especially the peppercorn sauce for the steak!
They are gluten free friendly with gluten free pasta as well. Great service and our night was 10/10!

Bistro 53 is a nice location to share a meal with family. It's well located in the centre of the village. The menu is distinctly Irish and has a nice variety of options. I thoroughly enjoyed the suckling pig and thought it was a good sized portion for the dish. The arancini I had for my starter were also nice. The service is polite, I believe it was one of the waiters' first day - he did great!

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.
