Fantastic spot! Stopped here for dinner on the first night of our boat trip from Carrick-on-Shannon. The food was delicious, and the staff were wonderful. It was the perfect end to our first day!
Absolutely blown away by this place. Top class service, waitress was so knowledgeable on the food, the ingredients and the wine.
The food was absolutely top class.
Was speaking with the owner who was so kind. Himself and the waitress made this a wonderful experience.
We had a fantastic experience at The Purple Onion. The manager took the time to explain the Wagyu steak, including how it is sourced from Monaghan, and also told us about the fresh seafood, which arrives daily from Killybegs. It was great to hear the passion and knowledge behind the food.
The staff were excellent throughout the evening, and our waiter was absolutely brilliant friendly, attentive, and professional. The service was first class from start to finish.
The food was delicious, and everything exceeded our expectations. We left very happy and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!
Attentive service. Gluten free options available with excellent quality and generous portion sizes. Great selection of beer and wine to complement the meal. What a gem of a find. Hope to return.
