The Left Bank in Athlone

We stopped by this bistro for lunch after driving down from Dublin and visiting Sean’s Bar. It was a solid meal—I had the warm prawn and chorizo salad, which was flavorful and filling. My friend had the bisque and cleaned his bowl. The staff were friendly and quick to help with anything. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

Best wrapped prawn and chili dipping sauce I’ve ever had.

What a gem of a place! On the left bank of the Shannon river in Athlone, just down from Sean’s Bar in a little cluster of other establishments. Service is outstanding – the servers work as a great team and I was checked on throughout my time with everyone that worked there. Never had to wait for anything. Food is also remarkable. I had a dish from the specials menu: Halibut with salsa verde and a side of circular chips and a small salad. Splurged on the sticky toffee pudding. Excellent selection of non-alcoholic beverages of all sorts! Beautiful airy restaurant with large windows looking out down the winding streets and to the Shannon River.

Excellent evening with friends, delicious food, very attentive staff. Plenty of tables, spacious not overcrowded. Toilets spotless. A few soft seats would be nice to sit on, or the option of a cushion, as the chairs are a bit hard on the rear! Will return soon again, as we enjoyed this restaurant very much.

It's not posh/ expensive place but the quality of food is so good. Definitely will be back

Food was excellent. Easily the best meal we have had.

Another lovely meal today. Thanks as always for the warm welcome

Came here because of its reputation, the food is really good. The store is also very well decorated.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was very delicious. The fried brie with some cranberry-apple something is my favourite! Highly recommended!

Right around the corner from "Sean's Bar" and we were looking for a quick bite after having grabbed some drinks at Sean's. We ordered burgers. It's more of a deli style restaurant like we have back in the States. They have sandwiches, daily specials, beer and wine and the desserts looked amazing!
