Sha-Roe Bistro
Clonegal
23/02/2026: Lovely relaxed dining experience. Food so flavoursome. Excellent staff. Perfect for a special celebration with family and friends
21/12/2025: A true rural Irish gem! We visit every Christmas and are always impressed. The Michelin-starred quality is evident in every dish, all made with local produce. Portions are perfectly sized and include lovely seasonal veg. Make sure to book well in advance—it's worth it just for the bread rolls 🍞

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.
