The best restaurants in Cavan

03/11/2025: We enjoyed the elegant, warm atmosphere and friendly staff. We nearly had the restaurant to ourselves. It was surprising that, with it nearly empty, the wait staff chose to seat us directly next to the only other couple there with the restaurant full of empty tables? Steak was perfectly cooked, succulent and tasty. Good portions and tasty sides. Overall, a wonderful experience and will return.

30/10/2025: What a lovely place, on my visit it was a very busy night so service was a quite slow but very professional. The food was very well presented and the staff were lovely.

29/11/2025: Called in here for a couple of drinks. Atmosphere was laid back but still lively. Lots of families were in to get food so the place was busy. Staff were friendly and efficient. We'll definitely be back.

05/11/2025: On a Saturday morning, the audience consisted 100% of grandparents with their children, young families after a shopping spree or a cinema matinée , and grannies, mommies and babies meet-ups. Yet the "cafe bar" blasted soccer games on all large screens. Talk about not giving a 'continental' about your customers... Zero atmosphere.... We ordered the most interesting items on the menu (apart from pizza). Mayonnaise drenched wraps and toasted sandwiches is what we got. No taste, no flavour, nor creativity or chefs flair... It feels like all they care about is to flog pub grub fillers to sports watching punters after their many pints at the bar. Frothy cappuccino, lattes and babycinos were impossible to tell apart. Could have been anything warm and frothy... How can a cafe bar get it so wrong? It almost feels like they are trying extra hard to chase away customers.... Shame to waste a great town centre location. Waste of our money and time too. {Edit: upgrading to two stars because the floor staff were nice enough.}

04/12/2025: My partner and I had heard about this cafe on Facebook so we thought we'd pop in on the way from Donegal down to Meath (we live in Donegal, he grew up in Ballyconnell, and the parents live in Kells,so we thought we'd pop by). It was very disappointing. The Food is 1* at best. "home-made" means "heated up in-store"... It's all processed (minus the cakes which seem to be freshly made). The waiting staff are very un-enthusiastic (bar one woman whose name I think was Annette or Anita.... She seemed to be genuine). The rest behave like they don't want to be there. It seems if you are a friend of the owner you'll be smothered in love, otherwise, you'll be ignored and the un-enthusiastic girls will be left to deal with you. The coffees and cakes are the only redeeming factors, but I'm very disappointed by my experience. We would have had more flavour if we'd waited to get McDonald's 20 minutes down the road.

21/11/2025: Absolutely loved my visit to this café! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. My order came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. I’ll definitely be coming back.

09/09/2025: everything is great food is fresh and even seafood mix taste super fresh and delicious the only thing when we order we specifically say that we want little spice i had mine super spicy my mouth was in fire , and i did complain about it they said they will do 50% discount next order so its nice that they care about custmers but i nevr had before so spicy so i appreciate it that they didn’t ignore my complaint

18/08/2025: Love it, they were super busy when I ordered but still got the food in 15 min. Everything we ordered was fantastic, and we ordered too much and ate for days!

29/12/2025: We came almost 2 hours before they closed, but they only accepted drive through orders.

28/12/2025: I had a double big tasty, very tasty and filling.

02/08/2025: Deli was still open at 6.30pm when every other deli on my route were closed

30/11/2025: Just called in to try out and now having a lovely Sunday lunch. So glad we did - food is fabulous, staff are friendly and lovely setting. Don’t hesitate to call in if you are anywhere in Fermanagh or Cavan

23/11/2025: The food was delicious 10/10 The lady who served us was very kind 😊, you can feel right at home.

18/12/2025: Have eaten breakfast here on a couple of occasions and it was mostly quite good, the last time however not so good. Nicely situated along the canal. When it comes to payment it is cash only which is quite inconvenient. Don’t get much chat from the staff but they seem like nice people.

12/11/2025: A lovely homey little spot in Ballyconnell town. Plenty of options for all dietary needs. It was like a blast from the past coming in here, but in the best way. It reminded me of childhood. Such a cosy little restaurant.

24/11/2025: First time eating here. Ordered the mixed kebab and it was amazing 10/10 Shout out to the lads, this will definitely be my go to from now on!

19/08/2025: Comment venir au connemara et ne pas déguster leur saumon ? Nous avons opté pour le plateau de fruits de mer avec huîtres, moules et hareng fumé Très belle et bonne assiette, tout comme les desserts Service sympa et efficace,dans un joli cadre loin des décors des pubs avoisinants (et repas plus calme …) Tout comme l’eau, la note est un peu salée (130 euros les 2 plates + 2 desserts + 4 verres), mais c’est l’Irlande …

02/02/2026: Monday night so quiet. Friendly service, food came out quick. 3 meals, lasagne and burgers. Hot, tasty, went down well. 3 desserts, brownie, Apple crumble and cheesecake. All delicious. €90 with 3 drinks. Gentleman that served us was polite and friendly. Overall, great visit. Deffo recommend.

02/02/2026: My family came to Ballinagh for 3 months as a central hub to explore Ireland for 3 months and Casey's was our first stop every Sunday after Mass to grab lunch! What a great place! Well poured pints and great prices for food! The let us have our sons birthday there and Jimmy was fantastic and full of information, Liam was always reliable, Elina was so friendly and helpful!

13/01/2026: Ordered last night and spent €40 it was a joke in ordered a deluxe burger and got a cheap chicken burger that looked home cooked from Aldi and a flat burger bap nothing for the money and wasn’t good at all poor appearance in food and no effort
