The best restaurants in Carlow

09/09/2021: Exceptional ambience. Spacious outdoor with apple trees. Staffs are well behaved. The quantity of the food is bit little compare to price. But its a worth visiting in Carlow town. Will love to have some quality times in weekends.

09/09/2021: Really loved this place when we went there last summer when I was entertaining some guests. Had a table in the garden and the food and service was excellent. Unfortunately, I've had to deduct a star because I recently ordered a take away and I'm afraid the food doesn't travel as well as actually being there. It won't stop me going back there though. I'll update this review once I'm able to have a dining in experience which these guys are very good with. UPDATE: Managed to get a table booked at the restaurant last night and as I suspected, the quality and service was absolutely amazing. Great job guys can't wait to see you again :-)

10/09/2021: Been to st mullins plenty of times but this was my first time eating at the cafe and I wasn't disappointed!. Friendly, accommodating staff. Delicious food - I had the chicken ceaser salad and a glass of the nicest sauv blanc I've ever had, but I forgot to ask the name of the bottle and where I could find it so if you see this let me know please 😁💖

06/09/2021: Fantastic location for a wedding. Excelent rooms for guests. Great sized function room. Outdoor area is spacious and seating available. Staff are very nice and accomidating. Parking on street and to the rear of the building.

09/09/2021: Food delicious, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. One caramelised dessert was burnt which we simply pointed out to the waiter. My biggest disappointment however was realising afterwards that we were not asked for COVID-19 passports nor were our details visibly recorded for contact tracing. It was my first dining 'in' experience in Carlow since the pandemic & it was certainly lovely to be treated by my partner but I'd rather dine where infection prevention is taken seriously (even with vaccines). Furthermore the hand sanitising system at the entrance was not working on arrival and when leaving. We were given a booth that had partitions on 3 sides which was some benefit. Its hard for businesses right now (August 2021) but it doesn't do any favours to neglect these important health and safety measures.

05/09/2021: Wow. Fantastic central location. Staff was amazing and super attentive. Portion sizes were large also. Riverside seating is a bonus. Excellent.

06/09/2021: Can't recommend Lennon's highly enough. They accommodated us with a table last minute which was a very special occasion for us and couldn't have been nicer! Service was outstanding and the food absolutely delicious! Thanks so much Jason and staff for making it a very memorable lunch for us. We can't wait to go back again. Yvonne & John

24/07/2021: Delighted to find this little gem on our way from Wexford. Efficient and very friendly service. Very good menu and amazing fresh and tasty food. An umbrella at the table while sitting outside would have been a bonus in the current sunshine but not a deterrent for returning again while passing through Ballon. Looking forward to eating here again.
