The best restaurantsof irish in Meath

20/08/2025: Fantastic restaurant in every way - food, service, and decor, to name a few. It's not cheap but fair for the quality. Family all enjoyed it. Have a kids menu and early bird menu, which is applicable throughout the week irrespective of the time. Best to book a table online.

18/08/2025: Excellent dining experience as always. High standards of food and service have been consistent for many years.......

14/08/2025: As a vegetarian customer room 8 is my absolute favourite cafe to visit. They have such a diverse vegetarian menu and cam cater many other menu options to your needs changing most dishes from conventional to vegetarian to vegan . The food always is of excellent quality and great taste. Staff are friendly and atmosphere is nice. It's a very busy spot often at times have to wait for a table but this just shows how excellent the food is .

02/08/2025: Just delicious. Great service. Gets busy so may have to wait for a table but worth it

04/08/2025: Always a treat to eat at Inside Out. Super tasty food, very efficient service, and great value

03/08/2025: Very disappointed with response from the restaurant when we told them we got food poisoning from a meal there in March this year. We ate there several times with relatively big groups, and always enjoyed it. In fact, it became our go-to restaurant when we had visitors coming stay with us. In March, we booked a table for 6 for dinner. My partner and I ordered a large pizza and a burger meal with the intentions to split between us. The other 4 in the party ordering different meals from us. We split both meals and ended up finishing the burger between us and taking most of the pizza home. Later at home, we both became violently ill with vomiting and diarrhoea and suffered that way all night and still suffering 24 hours after the meal. The others in the party were unaffected and had different food options. We wanted to alert the restaurant to this issue so they could do whatever they needed to do to check supplies / process. We suspect the issue was caused by the burger as my partner ate very little of the pizza and we both had half of the burger each. The response from the manager restaurant (a week later after I followed up) was that several others had the burger that night and they had no complaints, but they’d check into it and get back to us. That was the last we heard. No apology, no follow up, no respect for the fact that we really reached out to warn them vs anything else. We spent a lot of money at that restaurant since they opened but won’t be spending a penny there again. In fact, neither of us could face ordering a burger in any restaurant again given how really sick we got from the burger @ Inside Out. Posting this only because of the total disregard of our complaint and lack of apology for what we went thru, and denial of any potential issue at their restaurant. Things can go wrong in any business, the key is how your deal with those issues, address them and look after your customers. Something the owners and manager of this restaurant need to acknowledge and learn. Thanks… *** Update *** Have since heard from the owner and he informed me that while he did go back and review things & did not find any causal link at the restaurant, he was very apologetic for our experience. Thanks.

03/08/2025: Tuna steak was wonderful! Beautiful area and well worth the visit.

13/07/2025: Great spot. Back place great for groups & family events, front bar nice for a quiet drink. Portions for some dishes can be a little on the small side but the food is very good for pub grub. Have been a few times and will be back

07/07/2025: Had a big family party at The Central and it was a excellent! The outdoor area out back was perfect — loads of space and great vibes. Food was amazing (even the fussy eaters were happy) and the staff were absolute stars — super friendly, helpful, and on the ball. 10/10 would party there again!

17/08/2025: I went here with the family for the October bank holiday. This place is a hidden gem tucked away above a car park. The narrow stairwell opens out into a large ballroom floor At the back. The decor gives for a great ambience. The menu was varied and good. There was a veggie option. #ramblingstampcollectors

24/07/2025: I normally enjoy the food, but I got the duck with the trio of sauces, the 3 sauces were too sweet and there was so much of the sauces that I had to ask for another plate so I could just eat the duck and the vegetables. It was impossible to eat it with the meat swimming in sauce.

03/08/2025: It's our local pub , it is a very cosy lovely space with amazing food and cocktails, our favourite one is potato skins 👌😍

02/08/2025: Food was excellent, staff were very good with kids and the pint of guinness was very good 👍

15/08/2025: The food is lovely. The cakes are delicious. The prices are good. The flies are a nightmare but seasonal. The decor needs an upgrade.

11/08/2025: This is renamed to Navy with new owners. Staff are lovely. Definitely recommend making a reservation to avoid disappointment but staff were able to accommodate me for lunch. Food was delicious, and staff are attentive and professional. Lovely decor and atmosphere. It's a very busy establishment but run extremely well. I tried the Bay View, sweet potatoe fries and their slaw and it did not disappoint. Definitely will be back. Coffee is good too. Highly recommend a visit. If youre not local, there is parking a short walk in either direction or the bus stop is a short walk either.

31/05/2025: We went into this restaurant and asked for Thai food we were given a menu and sat down and ordered a drink and a meal . When we were given the bill for the food at was almost twice the price as the menu. When we challenged it they said they thought we were having a takeaway Did they really expect me to take my pint of beer away to drink that. It was very obvious that we were eating in and the food was served on a ceramic plate with cutlery so why did they expect us to also take it all away.

13/03/2025: For me the best pizza in navanand good service..

12/03/2025: Gorgeous pizza,huge portion chips

04/08/2025: The Gate is hands down my go-to spot whenever I’m in Navan. It’s the only place I trust for proper, freshly made food that hits the spot every time. The homemade soups are absolutely delicious, full of flavour and clearly made from scratch. I had the chicken Caesar salad on my last visit and it was perfect: crisp lettuce, juicy chicken, and the dressing was just right. Their wraps are always fresh and generously filled, you can really taste the quality. The service is super friendly and welcoming, which makes all the difference. You feel looked after from the moment you walk in. Whether you are popping in for a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxed lunch, The Gate always delivers. Can’t recommend it enough!

04/08/2025: We stopped into The Gate Restaurant in Navan as a family of four and were absolutely delighted with the experience. From start to finish, everything was spot on. We had two fresh scones to start, warm, buttery and just the right amount of crumbly. The full Irish breakfast was perfectly cooked and piping hot, the club sandwich was packed with flavour, and the fish and chips were fresh and flaky with a lovely crispy batter. The service was brilliant, friendly, quick and welcoming and the menu had loads of great options for everyone, which is no small thing when you're feeding a family! Plenty of choice, whether you're after a light bite or something more hearty. Coffee was also very good, rich, smooth and served nice and hot. We’ll definitely be back. A gem of a spot in Navan.
