The best restaurants in Carlow

31/07/2025: Stopped for a coffee while I had a meeting, staff were very nice, coffee was decent and had a little treat. It’s a big enough space that you can find a quiet spot to work and have a coffee.

21/07/2025: Great spot for meeting people. Always a good stir in it

07/04/2026: A good McDonald's in terms of food quality but there is too much of a consistency with orders being wrong. My advice would be to check takeaway bags before you leave the restaurant. Overall, a good McDonald's.

16/03/2026: Very friendly and helpful staff

14/05/2026: SETU Carlow was a wonderful experience.

10/05/2026: Absolutely loved my time in SETU Carlow

09/05/2026: I've ordered from here before and it was good, delivered on time, hot and the delivery driver was lovely. This time the food was 20 mins late, luke warm and because of the temperature it didn't taste great. The main problem was the delivery driver, he was very abrupt and didn't even apologise for being so late, I did have a tip in my hand but decided he didn't actually deserve it. I hate giving a bad review to any business but Mario's need to have a word with this driver

19/04/2026: Just got delivered a quarter pounder and donner kebab tray. Took an hour, called to see what the delay was lady was polite, food lands cold. Not joking 4 slices of donner meat seems a very shite portion. Won't be ordering again

19/05/2026: Fabulous food and fantastic service, highly recommend.

28/04/2026: Absolutely love this place! Me and my partner go here so often and the staff are amazing! There’s one girl with black hair and she’s the most amazing and nicest waitress ever! The food never disappoints either! I get the burger with wedges and their burgers are the most gorgeous thing ever! Same with their chicken wings. My partner gets the steak and has gotten the curry too and said they’re both divine! Partner also brought me here for my birthday and they put little pink balloons on our table and sang happy birthday to me too! Never will have a bad word to say abt the place absolutely amazing food and staff :)

21/11/2025: Tatianna moves with beauty bright, A shining star in day or night. At Ho Ting’s place she works with grace, Bringing warmth to every space, I will never forget you Tatianna…

14/11/2025: Got hungry, got told to try ho ting, tatiana and amy made me leave a review, this is the review, really nice food tbh and very nice people.

14/10/2025: Went in for to get breakfast Saturday and there was no organisation in the place There was so many couples inside waiting including ourselves.. A couple of young girls were behind the counter and no one taking charge. It was ridiculous so we left to go somewhere else and got great breakfast and service Very disappointed Won't be there again

25/09/2025: Super little cafe, thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Wonderful large full Irish breakfast for very reasonable money. I'll be back.

13/02/2026: A small 3 in 1 cost 6.50 but on website is €6? Think I was overcharged but eitherway this is actually pure greed for a tiny portion of chips rice and curry sauce actually obscene, its the same size as a portion of rice, other places do a full size one for way less! Literally how can you justify this price its literally chips rice and sauce, it has actually annoyed me so much that I dont want to return

05/02/2026: Great service. Lovely friendly staff. The food is amazing. No matter what you order. Delivery service is local men and women. So you’re not opening your door to a stranger. And they have all worked there for years - so they must be good employers too.

06/06/2026: An affordable and friendly Italian family run chippy with tasty pizza, chips, and burgers. Irish sourced ingredients fresh to order. Will come back to try chicken and cod options!

17/03/2026: Order a delivery 40 minutes wait time no problem, I order a chipper box which came abit warm and a cod which the batter was burnt and the fish was cold, which we had to put the food in the microwave, besides that €10 for a cod which was nearly the size of two fish fingers put together €30 for the food and delivery. Definitely not worth it

11/06/2026: Great spot, lovely food and lovely coffee. Shout out to Cian and the gang ✌️

11/06/2026: Every morning I buy my coffee from cafe 1 and it’s 10/10 and staff and Keane are lovely too definitely recommend

02/06/2026: First thing, this is not indian restaurant. It a bangaladesh based person. Second they don't know how to prepare food. Waste of money 💰

22/05/2026: The food and service was absolutely top draw. Thank you to all

14/05/2026: Carlow's best kept secret. Great service and good beers on tap that you can't get in vast majority of places. Highly recommend!

20/03/2026: Had very bad experience with this pub

09/05/2026: Said it was open online, called to the door rang the bell twice and no answer normally food is loveky shame the service isn’t the same 👍🏻

21/03/2026: Absolutely amazing service. Lovely atmosphere.

29/09/2025: Visiting from Scotland and Currently eating here with my partner and daughter,foods amazing,locations great and the service is absolutely fantastic,think we’ve found a regular haunt for future visits,thank you very much ladies Hayleigh

28/09/2025: Lady was super friendly and attentive

27/11/2025: Avoid this place at all costs When they get things wrong the manager talks over you and gives no apology Awful awful awful experience NEVER AGAIN I

25/11/2025: A good decent supermacs. Very good staff. I was complaining to the lady who served me about the wooden forks used nowadays and she came back to me with a real fork.
