The best restaurants in Carlow

02/10/2025: First time eating here got a burrito was huge so so good

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

29/09/2025: Great apartments, friendly pub and the owner is helpful with food options and taxi service.

18/09/2025: Great experience. Matty was great and welcoming. He recommended a great local restaurant to eat dinner. Nice kitchen, beautiful new tiled bathroom with shower. The only minor issue was the bed footboard stuck out (we keep running into the corners).

18/02/2026: Mario is the best takeaway. The best food.

27/12/2025: Made an order for fish and chips collection at 10.15pm. Discovered Mario's has gone from 4.5 rating to 1. The chips were poor and the fish was for the bin. A complete change with staff members greetings also. Red card I'm afraid. 👎

01/03/2026: Very good Breakfast, rooms nice and clean, bit noisy at night.

11/02/2026: We arrived early in hope our room might be ready. We were greeted by a lovely lady on reception named Patricia, she was so welcoming and nothing was an issue to her. Patricia went out of her way to organise an early check in. The room was lovely, very spacious and comfortable. The staff at breakfast were also lovely and great breakfast. Short walk to the town but yet very private and quiet.

08/03/2026: It's a very nice place. The food is a bit pricey for the portion size; I understand it's a tapas restaurant, but it would be nice to have more substantial dishes for a proper dinner. Everything comes in small portions, but the flavor and presentation are 10/10.

20/02/2026: We were a group of five, and we all ordered about 2-3 tapas plates each. Our first plate came out 7 mins after ordering, and our last plate came out an hour after ordering. We had to ask for it three times, and each time, the staff would say they were going to check, and then never return. Honestly most of the plates were absolutely incredible, overall food was really good, but service really badly let them down.

03/02/2026: A few of us went here on a Sunday night. Jenny isa top lady and the guinness was unreal. Was lucky enough to taste the local Whisky as well. Smooth doesn't even do it justice! Went back in the morning for the fry and that too was incredible. Couldn't resist but to get another creamy pint.

12/02/2026: Not a bad looking place but every time I have been it’s been packed to the point where i can barely move around

12/01/2026: Seriously underrated for the food and pints. Top notch as always

30/07/2025: Friendly staff and super savings

30/07/2025: Great place to pop in for a frank and honest coffee and whatever other bits and pieces you might need. Excellent staff and excellent management!

24/02/2026: Nice good options within the garden centre. I will not say it’s great but it’s nice for a stopover.

28/11/2025: Girl on till was very slow coffee was cold again I got to pay was only 2 couples a head of me

23/11/2025: Got a free mighty mac because they messed up someone’s order thank you that was delish

31/10/2025: My order included food for multiple people, and from what I can tell, other than drinks not being included in the child meals, nobody else had any complaints. My own food however, was simply disgusting. I got the cheesy fries with a drink (I forget whether it was supposed to be Coke or Pepsi). Firstly, the fries were cold, absolutely soaked in a genuinely sickening amount of mayonnaise, and the small amount of cheese on top was not just sad, but had no hope of ever melting. Secondly, the drink was just simply disgusting. As mentioned already, I’m not even sure what it was supposed to be, but all I got was a gassy, brown, sparkling water that had clearly been watered down as well. A pathetic and horrible waste of money.

09/02/2026: I tried pizza everywhere, but Tony had another opinion. He made me the best pizza that I can't forget. Thank you, Tony👌

21/01/2026: Awful chipper. Looks nice from the outside and thought that it would be good and its up there with the worst chippers I've been in. Chips awful pizza not cooked properly. Waited ages for it and you'd think it would be good. Shocking

29/08/2025: Very welcoming traditional Irish pub

04/06/2025: Just an excellent spot. Staff are absolutely fantastic also and the drink is always nice here 👍

20/12/2025: Nine times out of 10 the fries are cold in the drive thru. Please train your staff properly and check the food before it's handed out. It's really bad.

19/11/2025: Went into Mcdonalds Tinryland this morning, was shocked to notice my food being prepped by someone not wearing gloves
