Town Cafe in Athenry

11/03/2025: We stopped in for a quick lunch on our way west and were very very happily surprised at how good the food was, how interesting the menu is, and how good the service was.

24/02/2025: As a vegetarian, I often struggle to find good places to eat, especially away from major cities. The menu at the Barracks has undergone a few changes in my time coming here, and not only do they continue to cater for myself and vegans as well, but with each menu iteration they outdo themselves with the quality of their food. Their new veggie burger, based on a panko-coated portobello mushroom, is absolutely delicious. It is, in fact, the best veggie burger I've ever had! It was absolutely delicious and is a fantastic addition to the menu. Their curry and pasta dishes are also excellent, and desserts from the Old Barracks have become a staple treat in our household. As someone who only moved to Athenry within the past year, discovering the Old Barracks and their sister restaurant, the Stonehouse, has been an absolute pleasure. I have visited a few times, sometimes alone for a quick lunch, and other times for a longer catch-up with my family, and without fail the staff have been kind, chatty, and friendly.
