The best restaurants

24/03/2025: Super nice place to have breakfast or have a branch after the walk through Phenis Park A pleasure to enjoy a freshly made scone if you arrive on time and a cappuccino with exquisite aroma and flavor Thank you very much Yeraldin for your kindness

23/03/2025: Delicious coffee and a wonderful brunch in a cozy atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely come back – highly recommended!

13/03/2025: They served veggie and reg options and both were delicious. Big portions and friendly staff! Overall a fantastic experience !! (And its dog friendly so we saw lots of cute puppies )

07/03/2025: Fantastic local bar that serves dogs and humans.

21/03/2025: This establishment has excellent service and interior. You can find good food, drinks, and comfort here at any time of the year. This place is especially wonderful during the New Year holidays. That is why it is in the TOP 3 of my favorite pubs in Athlone. In my opinion, it's not a cheap PAB.

19/03/2025: One of the best pubs in Athlone for both food and drink. Best for their chicken curry

24/03/2025: I got the Cajun chicken ciabatta in a meal was 10/10 . Service was phenomenal really attentive and very courteous. Price was also very good for the quality and quantity of food. Would definitely return. We had sat outside as it was nice but good selection of seating too.

24/03/2025: Service 10/10 as always and food amazing

07/02/2025: Pedí el "Pastel de los Pastores" y estaba extremadamente decepcionado. Demasiado ajo en polvo y dudoso "puré de patatas". Muy seco a pesar de añadir una jarra de "jus". Me fui 1/2. Si un restaurante tiene una cocina abierta, entonces los chefs al menos deben actuar profesionalmente. Fui testigo de tantas infracciones HACCP que fue aterrador. Picando comida y comiendo sin lavarse las manos. Rascarse el cabello sin lavarse las manos.

21/01/2025: Went here for lunch and ordered the fish and chips. Lovely crispy batter on 3 nicely sized pieces of fish with ample chips, a delicious little salad and a pot of tartar sauce. Service was quick and friendly and the price for what I got was very reasonable.

12/03/2025: Fantastic food, service and atmosphere as always. Very fair price for what you get. Staff are very friendly. For the life of me I can’t understand how Hartes only has a rating of 4.5, lots of restaurants in Kildare have the same score and are no where near as good as Hartes.

08/03/2025: After yesterday's dinner a big disappointment. My family and I were very frequent guests at the restaurant because the food was fantastic. Unfortunately after yesterday's dinner we changed our minds. I have no idea what happened maybe the chef changed? Oh well I hope the high standard of food will return soon 🤷🏼‍♀️

24/03/2025: Loved the decor, you feel a little bit of home. The pasteis de natas are great

12/03/2025: Simply delicious! Definitely try the Paste de natel

12/04/2025: It has several flavor options, the donut is very filling and tasty

10/04/2025: The donuts are delicious, but some are quite sweet. The service is bad. I went one afternoon and there were two girls, one Asian and one brunette. There were a lot of people, and the Asian girl was the only one serving. I was really annoyed that the brunette was in a corner on her cell phone the whole time. Then a friend of hers came over and started chatting for a long time. She saw we were waiting and didn't care; she went outside to chat. it was disappointing!

25/03/2025: Wow. Food was incredible, service very friendly, will be back.

08/03/2025: Lovely restaurant, tasty food, quick friendly service lovely atmosphere very well decorated...good value for money

31/03/2025: Excellent service and very friendly staff.

26/03/2025: Food was great, service was fantastic, beautiful bar restaurant highly recommended

19/03/2025: It unfortunately did not live up to the hype. We booked a table for six people and apparently that meant that we were limited only to the chef's menu. The staff said a warning about this is on their website, but I still cannot find it. The atmosphere is quite lovely and the wines were delicious, but the food was lacking. The burrata with the tomatoes was yummy and the crab tostadas surprisingly fresh. The Pumpkin Cappellacci was delicous, but the lamb ragu was very forgettable. The ribeye was cooked well, but lacked seasoning and felt like a very cheap cut with little flavour. My friends' sole was extremely salty. The sides were also a big disappointment, with the broccoletto being so tough that I needed my steak knife to cut through it and the salad fell flat. The potatoes were okay. The tiramisu I got at the end was really good. I do have to mention that the chef's menu said that each pair could pick two sides, but when we were trying to order, we were told not to and that they would bring everything. Apparently that meant bringing all three sides twice, which was very much not what we wanted, so I have no idea why they would just assume that this was okay without asking or explaining. They did fix this when we complained, but we did get some weird looks from the staff. Overall, I found the experience to be lacking, especially for the price point. Please be aware that for large groups, you can only get the chef's menu and be very specific about ordering the sides you want. Not sure if I will be returning, but if I do, it will be in a much smaller party, so I can actually order the things I want to try.

18/03/2025: Beautiful food in a calm and relaxed atmosphere v welcoming

29/03/2025: Excellent food, great atmosphere but portions a bit on the small side considering the price

28/03/2025: I had a stunning dinner with my sister and mam on Thursday. We sat outside and the staff were kind enough to give us hot water bottles. The food was flavoursome, vibrant and quick to come out. The produce is always amazing here and the staff are so knowledgeable and friendly. I wish I knew the name of the people who looked after us because they made our experience even that bit more enjoyable.

30/03/2025: One of the best places to get food all over the world I think. Such a lovely staff here also . Definitely 5 out of 5

07/03/2025: Fourth time visiting and every time the food has been excellent. The staff are lovely too.

22/03/2025: St Patrick’s day here went off, literally a movie. Can’t remember a thing but loved every second

20/03/2025: Great live music, great location, food was good and we were able to get a comfortable table.

17/04/2025: I have been here a few times since they refurbished and I must say it looks really good

15/04/2025: Something superb super luxurious extra advantageous perfect
