The best restaurantsof irish in Carlow

26/07/2025: Food overpriced and over hyped some staff on the rude side

19/07/2025: This review is for the restaurant/pub only – we did not stay at the hotel. We stopped in for a quick lunch at the 1808 Brasserie bar yesterday while passing through on the way to Rosslare, and unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the food and service. My partner ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, which arrived ice cold and even raw in parts. When we brought this to the staff’s attention, there was little concern shown, and surprisingly, the floor manager didn’t come over at any point to apologise or check in. The waitress did offer to replace the dish, which we appreciated, but we declined. Instead, as a “token of apology,” we were brought a cold ham and cucumber sandwich along with some overcooked chips – which honestly just added to the awkwardness of the situation. The beef sandwich was also below par. We left feeling quite let down by the whole experience and would hesitate to return based on this visit.

12/09/2025: Anybody who expects good food standards…. Avoid

12/07/2025: Only went for breakfast. Great choice and was scrumptious. Eggs Benidict recommend.

22/05/2025: Simple food done right , can't fault there food or service , I've had breakfast , lunch and a quick coffee , it's always on point

16/05/2025: Shockingly expensive menu for a daytime cafe over 17 euro for a full Irish, 18 for lasagna and 15 for a club sandwich

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.
