The best restaurantsof irish in Sligo

13/07/2025: Didn’t have a great experience in osta recently. Food was extremely disappointing. However the girl who served us was very nice and understanding

05/07/2025: I have been going to Osta for many years but I have to say recent experiences have been a huge disappointment. The vegetarian options for breakfast/brunch are very limited. The pancakes with almonds, yogurt and honey were a favourite but the new menu has replaced almonds with gritty flaxseeds that stick in your teeth. I recently ordered a breakfast without bacon - asking to sub it for 2 potato cakes instead. The waitress served my order with bacon and 2 extra potato cakes. English wasn't her first language and she had clearly misunderstood me. When I paid I had been charged for the additional potato cakes - and paid full price for breakfast with the bacon. I noticed on my receipt after I left. On my recent visit I ordered the vegan beans on toast and it was utterly bland, unseasoned and quite dry - a very unpleasant texture that was hard to digest and I left the rest of my meal uneaten. Certainly not worth €9 for some tinned beans and tomatoes on dry toast. The bathroom is one of the worst I've seen in a cafe in recent years . It is oddly orientated, feels grubby, you can hear the kitchen staff audibly. The last time I used it was this weekend and I was absolutely disgusted by the state of the toilet. The seat had been left up by the man who used the bathroom before me and the underside of the seat was completely stained yellow and brown by what looks like years worth of urine. It has totally put me off eating here if the owners can't even buy a new toilet seat, and certainly it seems that the bathroom has not received a deep clean for years. Staff shouldn't be expected to maintain clean subpar facilities. All that being said, the floor staff are to be commended, they are always very polite, helpful and efficient. I really hope that improvements to facilities are forthcoming, as it was one of my favourite cafes to go to on regular visits home.

03/07/2025: Food was delicious! Their chicken cheese rolls are so yummy and they have the most delicious shredded chicken I've ever had! Service is quick and the staff are all so lovely :))

03/07/2025: Absolutely delicious, great prices and you can sit in. I went from arriving to having the food on my table in 5 minutes. Very nice staff every single time. 100% recommend
