The Olive Bar in Athlone

30/09/2024: Authentic Lebanese food on the left bank. Intimate wee place which was full when we were there. Quite delicious food and not expensive. Really nice Lebanese wine by the glass - I never understand why the red wine from Lebanon isn’t more popular. Initially a bit slow to take even a drinks order (25 mins) the service improved as the restaurant emptied after 9pm. A very pleasant experience and only suggestion is to specify what beer is being offered on the menu. Just calling it “beer” is a bit too generic!

24/08/2024: Good food, the hummus and the falafel are amazing. The service was good, only problem the payment machine didn’t work so had to walk to get cash. But otherwise great.
