Discover the best restaurantof french in Carrick-on-shannon

03/05/2025: Sadly our experience here was not good, paid more than €50 for two main courses for 2 people and left here still hungry. Ordered stuffed mushrooms as a main with quinoa, literally 2 tiny mushrooms with two teaspoons of quinoa on top,nothing stuffed about it, And a few drops of sauce, presentation was nice but it should of been sold as a starter. Partner got a burger- again taste was good but tiny portions. They give complimentary bread, which I tried to fill myself up with this after as I couldn’t bring myself to pay another €25 for another snack sized main course. I would have preferred to send an email directly, but when I go on the website it’s some random email address that bounces back.

02/05/2025: Visited on a Wednesday evening while in the area. First impressions were really good but then didn't live up to expected standards. Were told that normally they would bring out bread for the table but we couldn't have any as had run out. Fair enough... Ordered fish and chips and was brought vinegar that was (unbeknownst to us) broken as didn't have the pouring stopper so vinegar soaked the entire meal. Waitress gave no apology for that just say 'oh did it ruin your meal'. The cheese plate dessert should have included 3 local cheeses. We were given 2 cheeses, but one of them cut in two ways to look different but was clearly the same cheese. No one spoke to us to say they had run out or to give us the option to change the order. The attitude was that we wouldn't notice, which is rude/arrogant/disrespectful. Our server dissappeared, we couldn't order any more drinks and no one came to check on us. In fact we had to go and find someone to be able to pay. Upon raising the issue about the cheese, the waitress just walked off and left us waiting without any information before the manager came out and did take accountability for the cheese issue and offered 10% discount. Honestly the dish should have just been removed from the bill but there we are. Food was ok. The cod was nice, but tartare sauce too strong with citrus. Cheese plate poor, even a 3rd cheese wouldn't have improved it, the "crackers" were not pleasant or suitable. The live music was pleasant. Visit let down by service, felt we were dismissed as non locals so wouldn't recommend to fellow tourists.
