Sha-Roe Bistro
Clonegal
21/12/2025: A true rural Irish gem! We visit every Christmas and are always impressed. The Michelin-starred quality is evident in every dish, all made with local produce. Portions are perfectly sized and include lovely seasonal veg. Make sure to book well in advance—it's worth it just for the bread rolls 🍞
30/11/2025: The Sunday lunch menu offered excellent choice, this with the quality of the food and service made for an exceptional meal. We'll return!

Teach Dolmain
Carlow
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.

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.

Riverbank Restaurant
Tullow
01/05/2025: I originally had given this restaurant a 5 star review on the back of having been there a number of times. However, having recently returned, I found that this place has dropped a lot in quality and service. I believe it has changed hands/under new management and it would appear to have gone downhill since then. Such a pity, it was a great place to eat and family friendly.
11/04/2025: Unfortunately, food was just ok and that's me being "generous". Service felt like we were back in 90s. Atmosphere was like a nearly closing down place. Huge potential in the right hands,but definitely not into whomever runs it now. I'm not the person to complain and haven't said anything while settling the bill (which was 74 euro for 2 people and not even a "thank you" received). Won't be rushing again to eat here,for sure.

The MerryTree Restaurant by Rathwood
Carlow
11/07/2025: Tuvimos una experiencia muy agradable aquí el miércoles 9 de julio. Nuestro camarero era un muchacho joven, muy amable y servicial, genial con nuestros niños, nos hizo sentir como en casa. La hamburguesa vegana era increíble, muy fresca y deliciosa ensalada en el pan vegano. Los niños pidieron espaguetis a la bolaña, porciones muy generosas. La tarta de queso horneada estaba increíble, los niños quedaron encantados con sus galletas y helado. Lo recomendaría sin duda y volveré por su carne asada.
11/07/2025: Estuvimos allí la semana pasada y la experiencia fue mucho mejor. El personal es muy amable. El pescado y las patatas fritas valen la pena y el rosbif se derrite en la boca. Conocimos al nuevo chef, que también es el gerente de alimentos y bebidas, nos informó nuestro mesero Cian. Quedamos realmente impresionados y volveremos.
