Mimosa
Carlow
15/12/2025: Bit over hyped. It was pretty loud and noisy. Food was ok, but not great. Maybe my expectations very set too high by the previous reviews. For somebody it might be the perfect place, but I don't think I will come again.

Clashganny House
01/01/2026: Booked for a New Year's Eve dinner, we've had food here on a couple of occasions and we were never disappointed. We adore this part of the south east, it's a pleasure to eat in this total gem! The very best of Irish hospitality on our door step. Wonderful friendly service, couldn't fault anything. The food is very inventive and fresh, attention to detail is outstanding. Each meal a work of art!

Teach Dolmain
Carlow
13/12/2025: Love a meal here whenever we are in Carlow , good good and service , staff are really good and pleasant .
08/12/2025: Had a nice Cesar Salad with plenty of parmesan. The chicken was breaded so good luck on the calories count but nice as well. Apple pie wasn’t bad either but wish it had some cinnamon or winter spice.
Parking is on street or the omniplex across the road ( pay options in both cases).
Best thing here is the commitment to value that not many places still have. Will return.

07/12/2025: Small gardens and you need to pay fee even to enter coffee shop (not gardens). And queue, of course. Everything is very slow like it is supposed to be in this kind of gardens.
08/11/2025: Well worth a visit! A really magical garden walk with lots of hidden gems!
