The best restaurants in Carlow

15/02/2026: Over the years, anything I've ever ordered here has been absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Even when I'm unsure of an ingredient, I am always pleasantly surprised with how good it tastes. Which goes to show the expertise of the chef and kitchen staff. I have always had a great experience here and can't recommend it enough for people who love and appreciate great food and wine.

14/02/2026: When i walked into Lennons today with my family for lunch and one of the floor staff shouted across the restaurant to the waitress at the counter - "we don't take cash!".

16/12/2025: The best bar not only in carlow but country. Lovely family run pub. Old world decor but with pool tables in a separate area of bar

16/09/2025: Savage pub. Excellent drink. Really nice beer garden with great atmosphere. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

22/10/2025: Fantastic products and really helpful staff. Great to see a company like Crottys surviving (and thriving) in Carlow, for generations! Good on you. Try their chicken salad sandwich - devine.

10/10/2025: Great little caff for tea and a sambo on the nicest bread

01/12/2025: Always had great food in there, will be missed😞

22/11/2025: Incredible service I was shocked by the fact they were closing down I really hope this doesn't come to fruition the customer service was elite. Big Respect 💪😀

16/03/2026: This restaurant is in a beautiful spot, you can sit inside, or on the roof with the view of the Irish sea. During my stay in Port Erin I ordered Halloumi Fries, Mozzerella Sticks, Margarita, and Oreo Tiramisu. The tiramisu was probably the best tiramisu I have ever had.

05/03/2026: I hope that this was just a not good night but despite taking into account the delivery time, the meal felt as if it had been made then left an hour plus before departing for delivery. I’d have sent it back had I been in the restaurant which I know to be fine. Extra salad? Translate limp lettuce. Sauces? Sogged into the (untoasted) brioche. Halloumi ~ breaded from frozen pack. It was just really substandard, disappointing. It’s a shame. I was looking for something nice to eat having just got out of hospital.

18/08/2025: We recently celebrated my twin daughters’ 18th at The Barracks, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible effort of Joanne Aaron and their team. As I wasn’t able to be there, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, to arranging balloons, bringing out the cake and candles, and making the girls feel so special and welcomed. A big thank you also to the DJ for the birthday announcements through out the night which added such a lovely touch to the night. Joanne and her team truly went the extra mile, and thanks to them, my daughters had an unforgettable celebration. Thank you so much to everyone at The Barracks, you made it a truly special night that we’ll always remember!
