The best restaurants in Carlow

14/05/2025: Lovely lunch and very reasonable prices.

14/02/2025: The food is amazingly good with a good portion size. The staff is lovely and the atmosphere is relaxing. The decoration has a farmhouse style and the wall has artwork from local artists. The bathroom is also very clean. There is a car park nearby and only 2 min walk from an electric car charging point. If I ever pass by Tullow again I would definitely visit this place.

15/06/2025: I've been getting my favourite grilled goats cheese paninis from here for years, super delicious every single time, their coleslaw is the best too. Love their desserts also. ❤️

12/06/2025: Just got the best gluten free raspberry blondie I've ever tasted 😋

31/07/2025: A small, cozy space and fragrant with a fantastic coffee aroma - this is the coffee house, Tea & Coffee world. We have been enjoying coffee from this shop for many years, and we met the owner Saulius face to face for the first time. We both tasted the coffee and had a nice chat. Beautiful environment and really high-level service. What if coffee is not a communication link these days❤️☕ Sincerely grateful for the great time and we wish you great success in the future!!

07/07/2025: On a day trip to Carlow Town, we found this little place. So many coffees and teas to choose from - we picked Hibiscus Tea and had some pistachio biscuit cake and a brownie, too! The place had a lovely ambience - elegant and sophisticated yet old world. The tea was wonderful and the cakes were perfect - small and dainty portions but melt in the mouth delicious. Great music in the background added to the atmosphere. A lovely experience overall!

25/08/2025: Absolutely gorgeous little cafe, well run and very welcoming. The food is fab. Ill definitely be back for more.

17/08/2025: Driving from Dublin down to Waterford, I really needed a bite to eat and some good espresso . Stopped here, based on reviews. They don't lie . Wonderful service, cute coffee shop with plenty of seating. Excellent latte , with fresh out of the oven scone. It could not be more perfect! Highly recommend.

19/01/2025: Proper boozer. Top class pints, great screens for matches. No messing around with food n nonsense, and spotless clean

28/08/2025: On our trip to Ireland, although we wandered in by chance, the owner greeted us warmly and treated us with great kindness, just as I saw him serving his regular customers. We were served a hearty, tasty meal at a very good price without having to wait too long.

13/07/2025: Food good. Service adequate. I ordered fried chicken with veg and potatoes. Looked great but plate garnished/decorated ordered with balsamic vinegar , terrible combination pulse pureed cranberry . My garlic bread had soaked up the vinegar. I am literally allergic to vinegar it turns my stomach. I said to the waitress that those ingredients should have been stated on the menu. I would have asked for the meal without the garnish . My sister had ordered a different meal , not my favourite but we agreed to swop meals as the waitress appeared taken back that I raised an objection to the dressings. She did offer somewhat reluctantly to take it back . I did not want to cause a problem as the food looked good and my sister confirmed it was good 👍.

17/08/2025: Mayan chicken burrito or Smokey steak burrito with hot salsa, ye can't lose

07/07/2025: Went to namo carlow for a takeaway was charged 23.70 for a pulled pork burrito and wedges tapped my card and left after a minute I thought about it and was overcharged. Walked back in the door and told the guy I'd been over charged. Handed him my receipt he told me he would refund me. He done the refund on the card machine on the screen the amount was 0.01 I knew this was wrong and tapped for the refund anyway, I asked the guy for my receipt he wouldn't give it to me he then handed me 7 euros in cash. He would have left me on with a 1 cent refund had I not asked for the receipt. Guys be careful. The burrito it's self was less than average very little pork filling. I wouldn't return again as they were going to do me only I asked for my receipts. I wouldn't recommend much nicer spots to eat for less money with out getting screwed. Very unpleased with this joint

30/07/2025: You only have to look and you can big up or destroy a biseness I hope I haven't damaged your cred

15/08/2025: Lovely place to visit, definitely worth the trip.

16/07/2025: Very pleasant place with beautiful plants and a great restaurant

08/07/2025: I made a mistake with the order. I called immediately to cancel it. I was assured that the order was refunded to me. 10 days later and I still don't have my money back . I also sent 2 emails to the site administrator, where i placed the order , I tried to call ... no response. avoid this place, dishonest owner !

15/06/2025: food was delicious—especially the chicken vindaloo, which was perfectly spiced and full of flavour. The service was impressively quick, and the guy at the counter was polite and welcoming. Everything tasted fantastic and the prices were excellent—very good value for money  . I’ll definitely be back!

09/08/2025: Great place lovely staff well worth a visit 😀 😊

19/07/2025: A highly recommended restaurant. We ate outside on the terrace. The terrace doesn't offer a wide view of the outside, but it's beautifully landscaped. You feel comfortable here, and the food is okay. Great ambiance, stylish, and cozy. We enjoyed the "traditional Irish food" that was recommended to us, but it wasn't particularly special. We'd had better fish and chips elsewhere. The wait was short, although there weren't many customers at that time. We had made a reservation. Attentive and friendly service. Nice waitresses and good food. All in all, recommended, with plenty of room for improvement. We would come again.

07/05/2025: Everything on the menu is just amazing, coffee is always beautiful and staff are just so lovely. Love coming here for a treat. Everything is so fresh and always stunning.

14/03/2025: Good food, good spot. I actually just discovered it last week and had the muscle builder's salad which was great. Paid €9.80, enjoyed it and thought I'd come back every Friday as I am in the area then. Went in today, ordered the exact same thing was was told it was €15.50. I said to the lady at the till that I paid €10 for it last week and she just said "prices have gone up". Not sure I can justify a 50% price increase in 1 week but it's still a good spot with nice food.

23/08/2025: Love this place, I stop here regularly when passing through Carlow😊

19/08/2025: Fabulous garden centre. Lovely walks. The cafe is great , good food and staff are very helpful

02/07/2025: The best coffee shop in Carlow 😍

24/06/2025: We recently ordered a cake from Amoretto in Carlow, and it was an absolute hit! Nicoly was a total star, so lovely to work with, attentive to every detail, and really brought our vision to life. My son asked for a Farm bounty cake, and wow… it was delicious! The flavour was spot on: rich, moist, and perfectly balanced. All the kids and teachers at his preschool loved it, and I was lucky to bring a piece home. Even my husband, who usually only goes for the classic cream-and-jam type of cake, couldn’t stop talking about how much he loved it. Highly recommend Amoretto for any special occasion - truly fantastic service and even better cake!

12/07/2025: The food is always good, and the staff are always friendly.

10/07/2025: Best Supermac’s in the country. Chicken tenders are made fresh and amazing 🤩
