We stopped into The Gate Restaurant in Navan as a family of four and were absolutely delighted with the experience. From start to finish, everything was spot on. We had two fresh scones to start, warm, buttery and just the right amount of crumbly. The full Irish breakfast was perfectly cooked and piping hot, the club sandwich was packed with flavour, and the fish and chips were fresh and flaky with a lovely crispy batter.
The service was brilliant, friendly, quick and welcoming and the menu had loads of great options for everyone, which is no small thing when you're feeding a family! Plenty of choice, whether you're after a light bite or something more hearty. Coffee was also very good, rich, smooth and served nice and hot.
We’ll definitely be back. A gem of a spot in Navan.

The Gate is hands down my go-to spot whenever I’m in Navan. It’s the only place I trust for proper, freshly made food that hits the spot every time. The homemade soups are absolutely delicious, full of flavour and clearly made from scratch. I had the chicken Caesar salad on my last visit and it was perfect: crisp lettuce, juicy chicken, and the dressing was just right. Their wraps are always fresh and generously filled, you can really taste the quality.
The service is super friendly and welcoming, which makes all the difference. You feel looked after from the moment you walk in. Whether you are popping in for a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxed lunch, The Gate always delivers. Can’t recommend it enough!

Wonderfully charming restaurant located in town centre with helpful and friendly staff, fast service, wide menu and absolutely delicious food all at a very affordable price. We had soup and toasties and it's no exaggeration to say it was the best soup we've ever had. Toasties made with real cooked ham too! Can't wait to visit again.

The Gate restaurant was a great find on our recent trip to Ireland. It's a small place with outstanding food and service. All the food is prepared fresh and our waitress, Trays, couldn't have been nicer. When she heard we were touring around she was very helpful and made several recommendations on what we should see first and where. It was a rainy day and she went outside with us, in the cold and rain, to take a picture of us to help remember the restaurant. I highly recommend you stop by to the Gate restaurant if you happen to be in the area when visiting Ireland.
