The best restaurants in Ballyconnell

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.

09/02/2026: Beautiful restaurant serving 5 * food and 5 * service. We were made to feel so welcome and we're truly spoilt with the incredible service and attention to detail topped off with delicious food all whilst sitting by a cosy log burning stove. I can recommend the Tapas especially the scallops and prawns and not forgetting the fillet steak in mushroom and masala sauce cooked to perfection. Thank you for a lovely evening.

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.
