The best restaurantsof irish in Sligo

09/11/2025: Good food great for damily meal.

01/11/2025: In a world speeding up with seeming indifference to strangers and travelers on the rise, the Coach House Hotel stands alone in defense of the old ways. People matter here, as you'll be able to tell from the moment you step through their doors. Everything in my room was very clean and comfortable, and every single staff member I encountered went out of their way to make sure everything was taken care with a smile. And the food, well, it was one of the best meals I've had in the whole of Ireland. You can tell a master at work when such seemingly simple ingredients as chicken and potatoes are not only presented so beautifully but clearly cooked with love and attention to detail. I will be going out of my way to come back as often as possible.

22/11/2025: Love the cozy pub food. So handy staff are really helpful. Keep doing what your doing.

22/11/2025: We got a great spot by the fire, inside. It was busy but not overcrowded at 6pm on a Friday. Service was excellent. I was relieved that the soup was vegan and it was good soup. The only other vegan menu item is pizza. It's the lack of healthy vegan options that will likely cause our group to look elsewhere. Like other pubs, sugar and alcohol free beverages are limited.

04/11/2025: Very cute warm, & welcoming with friendly staff, The food let it down in my opinion, there was nothing wrong with the food on the menu, they could just fo better. Will try the pizza next time

03/11/2025: Great spot for Dinner! We had a really good dinner here and enjoyed the good vibes from the bar and the waiters & waitresses. Everything was freshly made and just tasted amazing!

09/10/2025: Wow, just had the most amazing lunch. Credit to the chef. The goats cheese and chicken dish was divine. Full of flavour and plenty on the plate.

03/10/2025: We had a wonderful experience in this restaurant. We were celebrating and the food,service and atmosphere were of the highest standard. Thank you.

18/11/2025: Visited bank holiday Sunday and this place was fabulous. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was that I had to queue. Omg the food was amazing, the staff are so helpful. I will be back! Very busy but obviously it's because it is excellent.

18/11/2025: The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and the portions are generous. The restaurant is clean and offers plenty of space. In short: Perfect, keep it up!

07/09/2025: Great food. Good choices too - food and drinks. Clearly professional staff. Good atmospheres after food finishes and no rush to leave.

01/09/2025: Very good food. Adequate attention. Good company during meals. Small spaces.

11/11/2025: Fantastic hotel and beautiful decor. Fantastic view.

11/11/2025: Love this hotel got a fantastic balcony room it was outstanding got a lovely treat as we were celebrating 40th wedding anniversary, the hotel is so central in Sligo, private parking underneath hotel a small fee for secure parking. Our meal was beautiful and breakfast was outstanding too can’t wait to go back. The hotel staff was outstanding and attentive great hotel to visit.

09/11/2025: We visited Shells Café on a Sunday for breakfast. The full Irish was nice overall, the sausage was lovely, though the beans weren’t great. The poached eggs eggs tasted quite strongly of vinegar. We also had to call the staff several times, as different parts of our order had been forgotten. We understand it was a busy Sunday morning, but the service felt a bit disorganised and below what we expected. The café is lovely but not very clean, which was a bit disappointing. Still, the staff were friendly, and a walk along the coastline after breakfast is highly recommended, the views are beautiful and make up for the wait.

02/11/2025: Lovely little place, right on the seafront; good variety, a little expensive but food quality and service were great and it wouldn't stop a return trip.

09/07/2025: Lyons cafe ......as good it gets, tasty, reliable, reasonably priced. Great staff, great buzz highly recommended! We especially enjoyed the chicken, leek and bacon pie followed by the pear and almond dessert, simply sublime!

21/06/2025: This place does not disappoint. We've been here a couple of times the food has been 10/10 with each dish ordered; from soup to salad, dish of the day to vegetarian option. The only problem with visiting Sligo is there are so many tasty eateries to choose from. But do try to check this place out.

14/10/2025: Lovely Irish country pub that is a great spot for a drink and bit of food. Lots of food options from breakfast to dinner and everything is very clean. Burger is the best I've had anywhere and reasonably priced too All the staff are very friendly and professional. More than capable of dealing with larger numbers of people too. We were with them for the afters of a funeral and they couldn't have done anymore with food and service on the day. No one left hungry Enjoy

14/10/2025: Great place to eat and have gatherings

21/10/2025: We had a great late lunch here. Wish they either had smaller portion plates or allowed sharing.

19/10/2025: A beautiful restaurants and the food was deliciou. Staff were so friendly abd helpful

19/08/2025: Had dinner here last friday night with my husband,booking is recommended,very busy spot.food was very nice,service was fast and friendly,the atmosphere is lively,and the cocktails are yummie.would definitely return here

18/08/2025: Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our visit to the restaurant. Very high prices for small dishes without any seasoning. The burger was unfortunately very dry and not particularly well-prepared. It's a nice place to sit outside, but the music was a bit loud.

29/10/2025: Absolutely delicious breakfast- really excellent value for our family of six. We had two full Irish/Nook, eggs Benedict, French toast and porridge.

18/10/2025: Driving from Derry to Galway, we found Nook Cafe in Collooney; it was a real find. Great brisket toasties! Thanks to all the staff for a great lunch.

25/10/2025: There’s something quietly noble about a place like Lags Bar. No pretense, no tasting menus, no one trying to reinvent the potato — just solid food, the kind that fills your stomach and makes you feel human again. We started with the Mexican potatoes — a Frankenstein’s monster of spuds, minced meat, and molten cheese. Messy, indulgent, and exactly what you want with the first sip of a pint. It’s not a starter that asks for approval; it just shows up and gets the job done. The steak sandwich followed — simple, meaty, unapologetic. The fish and chips came out crisp, golden, and properly fried — the kind of thing that reminds you how good bar food can be when people still give a damn. And of course, a pint of Guinness — dark, creamy, perfectly settled. It’s the punctuation mark at the end of a meal that doesn’t try to impress, only to satisfy. Lags Bar isn’t chasing trends. It’s feeding people. And that’s something worth sitting down for.

08/09/2025: We had a fun night as a family but very friendly service and good food.

02/07/2025: Reasonable accommodation rates and very flexible. Very welcoming and informative. Live music downstairs but this was explained in advance . Would recommend

13/06/2025: Great atmosphere and great service. If you are in Strandhill, stop in.
