Caffe 500
Carlow
01/07/2025: Very nice quiet place. Very pleasant staff.
23/06/2025: Family dinner. Three pasta dishes and two pizzas, five desserts and a starter. It's all very tasty. We were able to take the unfinished pizza home. I recommend the carbonara. Our daughter has Down Syndrome, and the staff were so kind to her. We'll definitely be back. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu. We felt it was well priced. Nice atmosphere. Handy parking.

Clashganny House
30/06/2025: Enjoyed 3 course menu. We were outside with our dog. Fantastic staff and food. Highly recommended
01/06/2025: We've never had a bad experience. Sometimes when it's full service can slow down, but never to the point where you feel ignored. The food is always excellent and you never leave hungry. The pricing is very reasonable considering the quality. We often come with family gatherings or good friends.

Mimosa
Carlow
16/07/2025: A truly lovely place,the lighting is soft and cozy, creating a warm and snug atmosphere. The food is nice, portions are good, and the prices are reasonable.
However, the service was very very slow, and some of the staff came across as a bit off-putting. I waited 20 minutes after receiving my food before asking a server about my partner’s food,he said he’d check and come back, but never did. We had to ask someone else in the end.
Overall, the food and setting were great, but the service definitely needs improvement.
10/07/2025: Mimosa is always absolutely fabulous, Claudia was so lovely and helpful to me and my friends! Would definitely recommend this restaurant

Mullichain Cafe
14/07/2025: A huge thank you to Mark and his team for an unforgettable time for my dad’s 82nd birthday!
The atmosphere was amazing, the venue by the river under the sun made it even more special
And a huge shootout to the Mullichain’s team for accommodating all 20 of us 🎉we will be back!
09/07/2025: Cycled here from Graiguenamanagh, got a table on the waterfront, prompt service, no delay on the food, we had prawn salad, chicken wings, and caramel covered waffles with ice cream, washed down with a chilled dry cider. €43 excellent value on a wonderful sunny day. Visit it or miss it.

Teach Dolmain
Carlow
13/07/2025: Fantastic as usual. Everything is great here. Food, drink, atmosphere. The only con is parking at the weekend.
05/07/2025: We were passing through Carlow and took a chance on Teach Dolmain. My wife and I ordered the steak and our son had spaghetti bolognese. All plates of food were demolished in minutes. Best Steak ever! The staff were very friendly and there's just a really nice atmosphere about the place. We'll definitely be back!

Eddie Rocket's
Carlow
28/06/2025: Ordered starter came with main ...1 burger came way late ..girl just banged it down on table ...very disappoint...be while before we back
07/06/2025: I work as a delivery courier for Just Eat and had an order from this restaurant. I waited 40 minutes for the order. When I asked how much longer it would take, the server first just said ‘sorry’ — which doesn’t really help. The second time I asked, she told me I could leave the order and go, and that I shouldn’t come back, speaking to me in a rude and irritated tone. I find this attitude completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Since I’m paid per delivery, not by the hour, I simply can’t afford to wait that long.”

Cafe de Mode

Lamberts Coffee House
Carlow
01/06/2025: Best coffee in Carlow hands down. Specialty coffee made by skilled baristas. Silkiest flat white I have ever had!
12/05/2025: We came here quite by accident and found a place in the specialty coffee app. It turned out to be a very cozy cafe with excellent coffee and very tasty pastries.
I recommend!

Reddy's
Carlow
09/06/2025: Irish charm! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a Sunday evening meal at Reddy’s. It has a traditional Irish pub atmosphere where visitors can dine alongside locals and feel that you’re part of the Carlow town scene. The staff are warm and welcoming with Robyn attending to every need. The food - roast beef and sirloin steak - was delicious, well prepared and generously served. It’s hard to go past the dessert menu of treats made in house by Reddy’s chefs. We indulged in the lemon meringue pie and sticky toffee pudding, both a delight and a tasty end to a lovely evening.
12/05/2025: Had the carvery on Sunday. Great hearty food, good portion sizes and very tasty.

Delta Sensory Gardens
Carlow
18/06/2025: Loved my visit here to the Delta Sensory Gardens. Plenty to see in these impressive gardens and I had a great coffee and scone in the cafe. Well worth checking out, especially on a fine day like I had. Thanks to Helen for the recommendation 😁
17/06/2025: Very nice facility.
€6 entrance fee is still acceptable.
Some might call it a bit wild, others natural.
We found it charming.
Beautiful water features and lots of small benches.
