The Left Bank in Athlone

Cozy place. Friendly and helpful staff. Limited selection of dishes, but with daily specials. Homemade desserts that are truly excellent.

We are on holiday with a group of 7 people, we went to eat in this restaurant, I recommend it, a typical Irish place, good dishes, well cooked, plentiful and honest prices.

Very good place to eat on the way between Dublin and Galway. We have tried the cod, chicken and hamburger. All very good, really. The waitress, who spoke Spanish, was very friendly. 5 people with drink and without dessert €105.

Had lunch here on Good Friday. Food was excellent. Service was ok. Well worth a visit.

Very bright and still cozy place. Small but great menu ranging from salads a to burgers and sandwiches. Big children’s menu (though no fries). Great wine selection (including even an alcohol free choice).

Stopped in here with family and no expectations - and it is wonderful. All the food was amazing. Service was great. I would strongly recommend trying it

The best restaurant we had while in Ireland. Even though I was carrying a large backpack and was inconvenienced, I was welcomed warmly. The food was very delicious, and the sweets we received for takeaway were also delicious!

Recently brought my family here for dinner, focaccia bread was just a slice of a standard load of bread and mug cake was just a Slice of dry chocolate cake, not worth the price for the quality of the food

A wonderful lunch at the left bank bistro, delicious food in a warm and inviting atmosphere. A special thanks to Shauna, who took such great care of us—her attentive service and friendly approach made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back!

Great location, nice interiors, warm but not too hot. Early bird menu is good value for 2 or 3 courses, dessert was the highlight of the 3 courses. Wine by the glass is very expensive 9e/10e each. Attitude of staff was poor; one girl from Europe was a lot more friendly and pleasant than the two Irish staff, including a manager type lady, who gave no acknowledgement for the generous tip left. Would not rush back.
