Caffe 500
Carlow
01/07/2025: Very nice quiet place. Very pleasant staff.
23/06/2025: Family dinner. Three pasta dishes and two pizzas, five desserts and a starter. It's all very tasty. We were able to take the unfinished pizza home. I recommend the carbonara. Our daughter has Down Syndrome, and the staff were so kind to her. We'll definitely be back. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu. We felt it was well priced. Nice atmosphere. Handy parking.

Mimosa
Carlow
19/06/2025: ¡Omg! No he tomado tapas en años. Mimosa ciertamente entregado! Desde la entrada hasta la salida fue del 100 %
Desde el personal, fijando la comida el vino, no puedo recomendarlo lo suficientemente alto. Estamos desde Donegal y sin duda volveremos. 10 / 10
18/06/2025: La otra noche fuimos de tapas y la pasamos genial. La comida era muy buena — sabor apropiado en todo, y porciones muy agradables para compartir. Destacaron la tempura de langostinos y las papas fritas de batata — volverían a conseguirlas al 100 %.
Pero honestamente, la mejor parte de la noche fue el servicio. Nuestro servidor, Matilde, era una leyenda — súper amigable, divertido y realmente sonoro. Ella nos hizo sentir muy bienvenido y nos dio grandes sugerencias de comida sin ser agresivo.
Sin duda volvería — gran lugar para una noche relajada con buena comida y aún mejor energía.

Eddie Rocket's
Carlow
07/06/2025: I work as a delivery courier for Just Eat and had an order from this restaurant. I waited 40 minutes for the order. When I asked how much longer it would take, the server first just said ‘sorry’ — which doesn’t really help. The second time I asked, she told me I could leave the order and go, and that I shouldn’t come back, speaking to me in a rude and irritated tone. I find this attitude completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Since I’m paid per delivery, not by the hour, I simply can’t afford to wait that long.”
19/04/2025: Our favourite place to go out for a burger as a family 👌

Teach Dolmain
Carlow
10/06/2025: Very happy with this restaurant. The food and service were exceptional
10/06/2025: Our Bed and Breakfast host recommended this place to us and, wow, I didn't expect "pub food" to have such amazing seafood dishes! The food was beautifully plated and delicious. My only sadness was that we could not finish the metric ton of mashed potatos they give you :)

Lamberts Coffee House
Carlow
01/06/2025: Best coffee in Carlow hands down. Specialty coffee made by skilled baristas. Silkiest flat white I have ever had!
12/05/2025: We came here quite by accident and found a place in the specialty coffee app. It turned out to be a very cozy cafe with excellent coffee and very tasty pastries.
I recommend!

Reddy's
Carlow
09/06/2025: Irish charm! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a Sunday evening meal at Reddy’s. It has a traditional Irish pub atmosphere where visitors can dine alongside locals and feel that you’re part of the Carlow town scene. The staff are warm and welcoming with Robyn attending to every need. The food - roast beef and sirloin steak - was delicious, well prepared and generously served. It’s hard to go past the dessert menu of treats made in house by Reddy’s chefs. We indulged in the lemon meringue pie and sticky toffee pudding, both a delight and a tasty end to a lovely evening.
12/05/2025: Had the carvery on Sunday. Great hearty food, good portion sizes and very tasty.

Delta Sensory Gardens
Carlow
18/06/2025: Loved my visit here to the Delta Sensory Gardens. Plenty to see in these impressive gardens and I had a great coffee and scone in the cafe. Well worth checking out, especially on a fine day like I had. Thanks to Helen for the recommendation 😁
17/06/2025: Very nice facility.
€6 entrance fee is still acceptable.
Some might call it a bit wild, others natural.
We found it charming.
Beautiful water features and lots of small benches.

Cafe Carlow
Carlow
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!
