The Villager in Glassan

This is truly a gem of a restaurant. Warm, cosy, and refreshingly easy to find—with convenient parking, which is always a bonus. If any restaurant deserved six stars, this would be it. The service was exceptional, genuinely friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient without ever feeling overbearing. The wine list is concise but perfectly curated. We enjoyed some beautiful bottles of Chablis, all very fairly priced and thoughtfully selected. As for the food, simply outstanding. Prepared by a Michelin star chef, every dish was absolutely delicious, served piping hot, presented with real care and attention to detail. All in all, it made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening and one we’ll be looking forward to repeating.

Lovely restaurant and they are dog friendly! We were seated in the bar area with our dog and had some delicious food. Can recommend the steak!

Food was delicious, reasonably priced and staff were excellent. Its only 6min drive from Glasson Lakehouse and its dog friendly.

Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time, wasn’t able to snap a pic of the stater (courgette and feta frittata) before I dug in. The service and ambiance is very nice too!

Food here was exceptional, pint of Guinness at 5.40 was excellent. Staff were friendly but efficient.

One of the best places in Athlone; you know you’re always going to get delicious food, drinks and with great service! The setting itself is brilliant- quaint pub vibes- and live music just adds to it! Get the curry cheese chips with any main 👌🏻🥰

The most amazing place to dine . The staff and food are way beyond exceptional . Thank you for a wonderful evening

You could describe the food with all the superlatives you can think of... Very Very Tasty would be one that comes to mind. Really Excellent is another.... The veg, the sauces, the crispy spuds and not to mention the main events were very much appreciated and enjoyed. The people of Glasson are very lucky to have such great food on their doorstep at a reasonable price. Well done all.

We ate here twice this week. Both times we had a fantastic experience. The steak and sides were absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back.

Best bar and restaurant in town.
