Mekong in Mullingar

26/03/2025: This is a smashing little place in Mullingar. It’s open Tuesday to Saturday but one of the best things is that the breakfast menu is available all day. The choice of breakfasts and other food is extensive, creative and delicious. As a committed carnivore I opted for a change for a “flat belly”(if only!) vegetarian breakfast. It was substantial, well presented and cooked and really delicious. Vegetarian food prepared and presented like this is what will help people reduce their meat intake, if that’s what they want to do. My quibbles? The tea is awful, weak and has the taste and appearance of old-style airline tea, have they not heard of “Barry’s”? The service could be warmer, more pleasant, less perfunctory, a smile and hello does wonders for the reputation of a place. The atmosphere could be improved by making the restaurant a bit warmer and brighter. Don’t let the quibbles out you off, though, the food is first class.

14/02/2025: We stopped in for a quick breakfast and ordered two delicious coffees and some huevos rancheros to eat. Everything was so fresh and tasty. I will definitely be going back there again.
