The best restaurantsof irish in Meath

12/11/2025: My daughter, Khristina, who lives in this town, thinks this is the best restaurant in Navan. Based on her experience, I completely agree. The fact that you need to book a table in advance also speaks volumes. The atmosphere isn't just cozy, it's family-like, and even the sheer number of customers didn't detract from that. There were couples and numerous groups of people of all ages. My heart was set on a rack, and it was superb! I made the risky decision to pair it with shrimp. Many people believe that seafood shouldn't be paired with meat. But, as my experience at Zucchini showed, such notions are the deep-seated misconceptions of gastronomic fanatics. The family treated themselves to a selection of delicacies, among which I'd especially like to highlight the duck, which we usually know by its Peking version. But this restaurant far surpassed all Chinese traditionalists, offering tender, large, and juicy pieces of meat, elegantly accompanied by modest side dishes that didn't distract from the headliner. To avoid making the review too cloying, I sigh that the selection could have included a wider selection of Irish beers, and not just the lone, undisputed Guinness. And now a toast: to the health of this restaurant's chef!

11/11/2025: Food was really good here. Service was quick and professional. Wait staff had good knowledge of meals. I'd say a small size restaurant but decorated lovely and tables are not on top of each other. We'll definitely be back as we wanted everything on the menu :)

17/01/2026: Best goats cheese salad I’ve had! Absolutely delicious. Really fresh and full of lovely ingredients. Friendly staff.

20/11/2025: An absolutely stunning little spot hiding in plain sight. It is seldom I can eat from anywhere not at home and taste that the food was made with love & care. Their chef even somehow made eating Garlic Cheese Chips new & exciting! Considering the present economy, their food is priced with impeccable fairness & their selection of dishes in terms of variety is second to none. Please, always tip the servers, the lush atmosphere here is invoked thanks to service that would befit royalty.

14/01/2026: Boy you turn me, inside out, and, round and round

03/01/2026: This restaurant is superb. We've visited many times and the food is consistently outstanding, matched only by the wonderfully warm, welcoming, and friendly staff. Each course is served promptly and piping hot. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Thanks to everyone involved both front of house and behind the scenes. Slane and its surrounding areas are lucky to have such a little gem on their doorstep.

15/01/2026: Food is fantastic every time we visit 😋

30/12/2025: Accidentally came across this place on a drive and stopped in for lunch. Loved it!!! Food was delicious. Well worth a visit

17/01/2026: Food Today Saturday Soup of the day - mushrooms :) Very good :) Very low price :) nice staff :) Thank you

05/12/2025: Fantastic main course, well presented and delicious. Friendly helpful staff, will be back.

09/11/2025: For visitors to Navan, I'll clarify that the establishment has two areas: the pub proper and a separate restaurant. The former looks simple and suggests that patrons are there for a drink (and why else?). The restaurant is a contrasting experience, perfectly suited for families with children. The food is quite decent, so if you're looking for a simple meal without touching any alcohol, the establishment offers that option as well. In the restaurant area, the only clue that The Round O Bar is a pub is the few beer taps on the bar. The menu isn't particularly specific, offering an international, but most importantly, delicious selection of dishes. I ordered a Viennese burger and was pleased. My companions weren't disappointed either, despite some initial skepticism from one of them. Incidentally, we also drank beer.

04/11/2025: Top notch food. Generous portions. Consistently smooth creamy pints of Guinness

06/01/2026: Satay Chicken is so Nice . Warm and Cosy Atmosphere with Friendly Staff 👌

31/12/2025: Really cool pub/food place. Fantastic drinks

09/01/2026: We were here for a family wedding. Lucky enough to have a room in the venue. Stunning space for wedding. Food was amazing.

03/01/2026: We had a wonderful experience at The Station House recently. This restaurant is superb. We arrived on a cold winter evening to a welcoming fire, and the experience only improved from there. This is your traditional high-end restaurant, with immaculate table linen, antique salt and pepper shakers, and beautiful silverware. The food is the the star of the show - and that is saying a lot given the standard of this restaurant - cooked to perfection and piping hot when served, which seems to be a dying trend in restaurants of late. The food was served promptly, and the staff could not have been more welcoming or friendly. Thank you to all involved, both front of house and behind the scenes; it is not easy to establish a venue of this standard, but you struck the perfect cord with The Station House.

24/12/2025: Lovely cafe, great coffee, food was tasty and homemade and the lady serving us was so sweet.

15/11/2025: A delightful taste of Navan! Attentive and friendly staff went the extra mile!

01/01/2026: Had a meal here on New Year’s Day. Unfortunately we did not have a good experience due to the fact that the restaurant was absolutely freezing. Customers were all wearing coats we should have known . After getting our starter I queried this with our server who was a very pleasant girl & she told us that the heating was broken. We should have left after the starter but we stayed food was just ok stir fry which was actually swimming in sauce. Mentioned our dissatisfaction with the cold to the girl on reception when paying the bill she apologised we weren’t offered any discount . It is unacceptable to open a restaurant in those conditions when the temperature outside is 5 degrees . Management need to have a good think about the decision to open & not have the cop on to get a couple of heaters from somewhere & plug them in . Couldn’t wait to get back to the car to put the heating on .

29/11/2025: Our server Zoe was amazing, so attentive and nothing was any hassle. Food was amazing as always!

26/12/2025: A special atmosphere and a super staff that is at the top

22/08/2025: Lovely setting, very clean , friendly staff and strangers. Loved it and can't wait to go back ♥️

30/01/2026: cheap nasty food. no taste. could hardly swallow the chips. go elsewhere

28/11/2025: Ordered chips. Fast and friendly service. Chips were decent. No complaints. Thanks.

11/01/2026: As per almost all souvenir stores almost all the goods here are sourced from China as evidenced by the boxes outside the door. I asked the lady tearing open the styrofoam packing to please do it carefully as it was breaking up into small pieces and blowing around the roadway... People have at this stage given up caring nicely for the planet and just shrug their shoulder, as this lady did, in a 'what can be done' attitude..'.(ie...it's already polluted so why worry about a little more') Then she laughed and said "I'll get the air blower to it"...😵‍💫 and went back to further breaking up the styrofoam...and inside this shop there are so many Goddess, Love, Brigid, Save the Planet and 'we love the planet blah blah ' books on sale ...this place is totally profit oriented

04/01/2026: The restaurant was very busy today, and although the staff were clearly trying their best, our server—a young woman—was somewhat abrupt and impatient. I ordered the steak sandwich, advertised as containing "steak strips." Instead, the sandwich consisted of small, scattered bits of steak on a modest ciabatta roll. While it wasn’t without flavor, the portion was surprisingly small—perhaps suitable for a child, but inadequate for an adult meal. A steak sandwich should feel hearty and satisfying, but this version was more starter-sized than a proper main.

19/10/2025: Great spot, had the lamb shank was delicious, desert was so nice aswell, with a party of 6, not one of us had a bad meal! Will defo be back! Tiny wee bit cramped-space wise but the food makes up for that! Great variety on the menu

12/10/2025: Calm atmosphere, great service and absolutely delicious food! Thank you and see you again soon!
