The best restaurants

04/08/2025: This place is nice, and the food and coffee are great. However, the only thing that really lets it down is the customer service. It felt like the staff assumed that because the shop is busy, they don't need to be polite or accommodating. While I was sitting and enjoying my coffee, I was repeatedly asked if I was finished and if they could take the cutlery. Even after I had finished and handed over my cup, I sat for a few more minutes — only to be questioned by the staff about whether I had even ordered anything. Apparently, the manager saw me sitting without a coffee on the camera and sent someone over to ask for my receipt. The food and coffee here are amazing, but the customer service is honestly the worst I’ve ever experienced.

02/08/2025: Ante todo diré que el café está bien. El servicio puede mejorar y la organización también. No dejaron subir a mi mujer a la terraza de la planta superior hasta que no tenemos la consumición en la mano, y tuvimos que hacernos una hora de cola, porque en Bray había un evento de las Fuerzas Aéreas. No tiene sentido porque arriba hay gente que no está consumiendo nada desde que nos sentamos. Precio-calidad-organización, si cabe mejorable.

16/10/2025: Noisy, very local, good atmosphere

21/05/2025: No personal service, a lot of steps no way suitable for people with disabilities.

05/05/2025: Excellent location. Impeccable, clean room, with enough towels and daily cleaning. Coffee/tea replenished every day, muffins, water and juices upon arrival. We had a room on the top floor, quiet and pleasant. I believe that these are not the most pleasant stairs to climb for those who may have difficulty climbing.

08/08/2025: Dined on Friday at lunch and had a very pleasant experience. Food and service excellent. Well done to all. Lovely ambiance.

15/07/2025: Awful experience. The manager, a blonde lady, got confused with me and other man. I am now “barred” as I am bald and look some way look like a man who spiked a drink and who this establishment says “caused trouble”. They will no longer serve me or when I brought my mother. I recommend you drive on to Avoca. At least the service will be fair.

05/10/2024: this goes to show how personal taste is, I saw one of the few bad reviews complaining that the polled pork wrap was tasteless, when I absolutely loved the flav or explosion it provided imho. it wasn't too salty, but instead had a lof of juicier flavor component blended together so well, that I struggle to name them. it was also a very good sized dish and came with 3 salads all of which were good, and I wish I could ask for the kale quinoa salad recipe (I am usually not a fan of Q or uncooked K but OMG soo good and light). yes I understand that it is a to go place and thus the cutlery is wooden, I honestly wish it would have been wooden chopsticks which would have made eating easier. I LOVED it . If I lived in the athlone region we would be regulars.

04/10/2024: If you traverse the country and need a food break, or just are lucky enough to live in the area, this place is AMAZING. yes it is nestled into a very utilitarian space but it has roofed outdoor possibilities in addition to the few cozy seats and a good restroom. But the FOOD..the food is just amazing. I had a wrap with 3 salads. And in addition to them being sooo good (but yes quite spicy) I can tell they are designed to hold up the "leftover" time periods of take out, which is rare in salads..also..a kale salad with quinoa that tasted good and LIGHT?? Amazing. If I lived in Arhlone this place would be at the top of my regular rotation for take out. Soo good. Thank you for feeding ne so well.

21/09/2024: Asqueroso, por favor, evite. Los fideos eran la comida más sosa que he probado y la salsa de chile dulce que acompañaba a los rollitos de primavera se veía radioactiva y me dejaba con la sensación de que había bajado una botella de sal. Extremadamente decepcionado

05/02/2025: Este fue el mejor lugar para un delicioso capuchino, una vista increíble y el pastel de cereza de almendra más celestial. La mejor parte fue el servicio - Pablo fue más allá para asegurar que disfrutamos de nuestra estancia e incluso dio recomendaciones para asegurar que disfrutamos de los mejores lugares de la ciudad. Gracias Corrib house! ¡Volveremos!

13/07/2025: La comida estaba bastante buena. Había ido algunas veces sólo para tomar algo, así que me sorprendió gratamente, pero el personal es realmente grosero. En su defensa, debían decir que estaban tratando con bastante gente borracha. Está cerca de muchos campos de fútbol/GAA, por lo que es un poco ruidoso los días de partido. No nos gustó el ambiente y el personal necesita un pequeño empujón en su moral.

28/05/2025: Gran lugar para un bocado de comida. Personal y comida encantadores. Me encantaron sus tostadas a la hora del almuerzo, buen menú, fácil de encontrar somto comer. Gran valor.

28/05/2025: It was a terrible pity dinos closed down it used to be always packed he did great food he died i hope whoever takes it over does well best of luck to them

04/04/2025: Dreadful chipper. Kebabs are disgusting, chips are horrendous. Keep away from this so called chipper. They take ages to do food. In my opinion not a good chipper, stay away!!! Glad it's closed as it deserves to be closed permanently. Worst chipper I've ever been to.

22/05/2025: We were attending a wedding and stayed in the associated hotel (The Cliff at Lyons) on an inclusive package. Their main restaurant (The Mill) is separately reviewed. We took breakfast here both Saturday and Sunday. We were not expecting to have lunch either day, so ordered the full Irish breakfast both days, although there was a decent choice of lighter dishes . This was a major repast. Orange juice and a compote of fruit was served immediately and good despite most fruit being out of season, the full Irish breakfast was authentic, great and was served with an afternoon tea type stand heaped with toast, Guiness soda bread, scones, croisants and pain au chocolat, all stiil warm. Super coffee and tea. Service very good, quick and efficient, especially on the Sunday when we had to leave to catch a plane. The walk in price for this is high, but you will get your money's worth. Lovely ambience, especially in the morning sun. The wedding breakfast was also served in here (from about 17:30) after canapes in teh garden. This too was excellent, especially for a group cater, however I will not be reviewing this as it was not my party, nor did I pay for it.

30/01/2025: If you're looking for a nice spot for the a date or celebration, The Orangery is a great choice. The food was fantastic and the setting was beautiful.

04/03/2025: Very small portions for high prices. Shrinkflation siuation here. Not happy. They use small plates to lesson quantity. Unfair.

22/01/2025: Had lunch here today. Average lunch price is €17. The fish pie was basically a tiny piece of cod in a dish covered with breadcrumbs and was tasteless. My companion had the beef. The veg and potatoes are put on the plate very sparingly, portions very small. Lunch here is not worth the money.

26/09/2024: Closed since Monday 23rd September 2024 with no customer notification

25/09/2024: Adorable garden and realllllly nice full irish breakfast.
