The best restaurants in Carlow

04/01/2026: The atmosphere, food, and service were all wonderful; the experience is well worth it, and it's a good idea to make a reservation.

31/12/2025: Visited for a Christmas party of 40+ people, great service and food

15/12/2025: Bit over hyped. It was pretty loud and noisy. Food was ok, but not great. Maybe my expectations very set too high by the previous reviews. For somebody it might be the perfect place, but I don't think I will come again.

07/12/2025: First time trying this restaurant Was nice enough Put not my for me going forward

06/11/2025: My first visit today and will definitely be back next time I’m in town. Gorgeous food, coffee and generally lovely vibes! They have a couple of vegan options too that included the best mushroom soup I’ve ever had :)

03/11/2025: Great quality, organic , delicious coffee and bread .......warm and cozy ambient!!

13/12/2025: Love a meal here whenever we are in Carlow , good good and service , staff are really good and pleasant .

08/12/2025: Had a nice Cesar Salad with plenty of parmesan. The chicken was breaded so good luck on the calories count but nice as well. Apple pie wasn’t bad either but wish it had some cinnamon or winter spice. Parking is on street or the omniplex across the road ( pay options in both cases). Best thing here is the commitment to value that not many places still have. Will return.

07/12/2025: Small gardens and you need to pay fee even to enter coffee shop (not gardens). And queue, of course. Everything is very slow like it is supposed to be in this kind of gardens.

08/11/2025: Well worth a visit! A really magical garden walk with lots of hidden gems!

19/11/2025: Absolute shocking experience today for lunch. We were told by the lady that if we have buggy’s in future that we need to ring in advance to book. I wonder would she treat wheelchair users or any elderly people the same! Safe to say, we won’t be returning!

16/11/2025: The food and service here was incredible. Staff are excellent, we had a 3course meal and every dish we had was excellent. Atmosphere is lush but relaxed its not over crowded even at a good capacity. Loved it.

02/01/2026: Gonna visit them 1 a week from now on.

16/12/2025: This use to be 5 stars . I went here this evening , I’m usually not one to complain but I just thought how they actually dealt with the complaint was terrible , when our food came it was luke warm . I was sitting facing towards the pass, we ordered 2 wings , 2 garlic fries and a portion of onion rings . The chicken wings were sitting on the pass for atleast 5 minutes before the fries were ready , then when the fries were ready they were placed up onto the pass and sitting there for a following 2 minutes before the onion rings . So the wings are sitting under the lights for well over 5 minutes at this stage , when the chef rang the bell for our order the waiter went up and took the other order for the other table which came in after us , so our food was sitting there for even longer ( another 2 minutes ) . To be honest at this price this is just not acceptable , we paid 61 euro for luke warm wings & onion rings ( chips were fine) . When we told the man at the desk he apologised and said he will let the chef know , which is fair enough but they could of atleast took something off the bill we eat none of the wings , and left half the onion rings as they went cold . I love coming here , but unfortunately it was very disappointing , hopefully you can improve on this. I’m sure other peoples food was luke warm too as I seen another order up on the pass sitting there waiting for ages . The chefs are obviously not good at timing and putting all food out at one time as half the order is sitting under lights going luke warm while they are preparing the rest of the order . Sorry to say but was disappointing .
