The best restaurants in Cavan

22/07/2026: Busy restaurant serving nice food. Menu could do with a revamp

28/06/2026: One of the best Restaurants I have been in for very long time. Can find no faults. Everything perfect. Staff, Service, Food, Attention to detail etc. 💯.

16/07/2026: Chose to eat here for a special occasion. Everything from start to finish was perfect. Food and wine were delicious and the service was amazing, decor light and spacious. Would highly recommend.

15/06/2026: Excellent from start to finish! Thank you to all the kitchen team for the delicious food and thank you to all the front of house team for looking after us so wonderfully! Everyone was so professional and always did it with a smile 😁 Thank you so much for singing happy birthday to my partner and the little petit fours and candle, she was so happy and massively embarrassed at the same time 🤣 A special mention for Caoimhe who was so attentive, joined in with happy birthday and helped us figure out where to carry on our celebrations in to the evening. A lovely young lady who is a credit to the restaurant, thank you for making my partners birthday perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

04/07/2026: Had a lovely meal at Shades in Cavan. I had the large beef taco with salad, and my husband had the slow-cooked beef with spicy chips both were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, the service was excellent, and the restaurant has a warm, cozy atmosphere. I wasn’t a fan of the Mila cocktail, but that didn’t take away from an otherwise fantastic experience. If I’m back in Cavan, I’ll definitely be returning to Shades.

18/07/2026: Friendly staff. Cracking cup of coffee. Fun and different location. I had a flat white with oat milk and my partner had an ice latte with caramel. I am a picky coffee drinker but would definitely recommend this place

18/07/2026: A really fun little whole in the wall. Some lovely local produce available including jam, honey and sourdough bread. Stopped in for a coffee whilst visiting the area. Very tasty coffee and a decent price. Lovely oat milk and a nicely balanced iced latte with caramel. My wife loved her flat white, often served not hot enough at other places! Sad this isn’t our local! Definitely stop in if you are in the area.

12/06/2026: Have never stayed in a room in the Crystal, but have attended baby sensory classes, popped in for a drink and even got married there as part of the Cavan registry office services. No matter what I've been in for, the staff are always wonderful, courteous and helpful! Today in particular our car died following a sensory class in the hotel and the lovely chap on reception (sorry I didn't get your name) called Freddy from Maintenance to see if he could help. We got the car going quickly and super appreciate how helpful and sympathetic everyone was as we had a small baby in the car too. This only solidifies in my mind how great the crystal is and how often I'll be recommending them to friends and family ❤️

03/06/2026: Class place, great drink, excellent food., never let's ya down

27/05/2026: A place with wonderful food and excellent service! I loved it and recommend it 100%!

19/06/2026: Had the full Irish breakfast. Was one of the best I've had. The black pudding was really nice.

16/06/2026: Nice cafe with an extensive menu in Cavan Retail Park. Chapter One also have a nice range of giftware for all your gifting requirements. Staff very helpful

24/07/2026: Nicest roast beef dinner I have ever eat. So so good. Nice veg creamed potato and roasted potato. Shared beautiful desert.

13/06/2026: Fabulous caring staff! We brought our young family here for dinner this evening and we were so well looked after. Goujons, chicken curry and Philly cheese steak all gorgeous. Ideal for a stop on our journey, we will remember MacGabhanns for again.

29/06/2026: I had a wonderful meal last evening. The staff were excellent — friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. The food was absolutely top‑class, full of flavour and great portions. Prices were very reasonable for the quality you get. A brilliant experience from start to finish. Staff, food, and price all 💯.

14/06/2026: Came back to this great eating pub after 6 years, really friendly welcome,had onion rings for starters and huge sirloin steaks cooked rare for main, the onion rings were really freshly cooked,hot and crispy and the steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted great,one of the best steaks I have had in a long time, all the staff are helpful and friendly and I can't recommend this place enough,it does get busy at peak evening times but they turn the tables round really quickly, not the cheapest meal but so worth it.

27/05/2026: The food and restaurant is good. Staff are very nice. However the room is a bit small and hot. There is a gap at shower curtain that the floor will get wet after taking shower though it could be fixed.

20/04/2026: Excellent stay, lovely friendly staff.

09/06/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding customer service. I ordered a coffee and was greeted with a smile from the moment I arrived. The staff were attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect. Great coffee and even better service. ☕️

02/06/2026: Very pleased with my visit at Cafe Nua. Staff were so pleasant, the Chai Latte was perfect with the perfect amount of cinnamon and i also tried one of the cheesecakes which was amazing. I’m so impressed, I will definitely come back again.

04/07/2026: The food is really good but the service was kind of slow only because they have 1 chef and that is ok upstairs they have a little play area for the kids it was so cute definitly would reccomend the acai bowl overall for me it was an 8/10 reccomend for a little day out

04/07/2026: Good food, good service. 3 times have eaten here and each time food takes 30-40 mins from order to table. The long time to receive food is the sole reason 2 stars are taken off

31/05/2026: We enjoyed our stay at Lakeside manor. We had the suite and felt it was spacious, had great AC, a comfy bed, and nice view. We enjoyed dinner in the hotel as well. We would love to visit again!

06/05/2026: Zero stars if I could. €20 to use the slipway, that's not on. It's way to expensive, in other places it's only €5-€10. Rip off. The service at the hotel is hit and miss and the prices are too expensive for what you get and being charged €3.50 for a pint of MiWadi...... Come on, get it together. The current state of the carpark is like the surface of the moon, be warned. The price of the Mi-Wadi may have changed, since we were there. We and others I've talked to will not be going back.
