Purple Onion in Termonbarry

We travel to this restaurant several times each year and it never disappoints. This evening my companion had the black sole while I had the 12 oz waygu ribeye steak. Absolutely amazing food. Pauline and Michael in the kitchen are both excellent and imaginative chefs constantly keeping the menu interesting. Shannon, our server is always most helpful and friendly. I would advise to book in advance. Martin Maguire.

On a whim, booked table for 2, for last night. Starter, duck liver pate and crusty bread, and red onion marmalade, was perfect starter. Main course, Wagu rib-eye steak , with onion, garlic potato and roast veg, the Wagu steak was divine, it was soo tender and full of flavour, complimented with the side of roast veg and garlic potato. Dessert was a beautiful home made mince pie, filo pastry base, with a frangipane topping, it was complimented with home made creme anglaise, it finished off beautifully a lovely evening of beautiful food, wonderfully prepared and presented by attentive competent waiting staff that added to this great expierence.

Our family of four stopped in without a reservation, and they were still able to accommodate us with no problem. We weren’t sure what to expect since we were just passing by, but the food was absolutely to die for — and the presentation was beautiful too! I wish I had taken photos. We will definitely be back!

I was just passing by with my family and didn’t expect much, but what a wonderful surprise! The food was absolutely delightful and looked stunning—every detail was perfect. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for a family outing. We all left very impressed and already can’t wait to come back!"

We have been on holiday in the area for almost a week and this is by far the best meal we have had during our travels and we have had some great food. Absolutely delicious, if you haven’t tried the food here yet you must, if we were not going home tomorrow we would 💯 be back .

Food is simply out of this world!! Would consider traveling here, staying in Keenan’s Hotel beside the restaurant for the night, eating at the Onion and heading home the following morning! Gorgeous location on the banks of the Shannon! Couldn’t recommend more highly!

One of the most amazing meals that I have ever experienced. We came here for our wedding anniversary on the way to a Cottage in Sligo. My husband had the most delicious Silverhill Duck served with red cabbage & dauphinois potatoes, comparable to a fantastic restaurant in Biarritz. I had Black sole on the bone which was perfectly served with a butter sauce, al dente Brocolli & garlic baby potatoes. We also had a Cheese plate which was a fantastic Spanish blue vein served with a glass of 20 year old Port. The entire meal was superb, one that we want to repeat in the future.

Drove past this and did a u-turn as it looked so inviting. It did not disappoint! Three of us shared several small plates and a couple of desserts here - each one as delicious as the next. Fantastic to come across such creative cooking. With one of us being a vegetarian, the choices on offer were many and varied - a far cry from the bland and unimaginative lazy cheffing that is so rampant elsewhere.. Well done to you all, a great experience all round!
