The best restaurantsof irish in Westmeath

11/03/2025: This was my second time at Thyme and what I can say is that the place is always amazing The staff are helpful, smiling and attentive, everything is impeccable and the food is fantastic

09/03/2025: Had a fabulous meal in Thyme last week- food was top notch, staff were great and there was a lovely atmosphere- only negative is that it is very difficult to get parking close by.

09/03/2025: Enjoyed a truly delicious and very memorable dinner at Browne's last night. David and the team looked after us so well. The food was divine and the portions were huge! Highly recommend for a lovely meal out.

01/03/2025: Food was epic. Beautiful place. Nice and friendly staff with great food. Definitely be back here.

21/02/2025: Best place in Midlands for food ,and just as important the staff are excellent and always make u feel at home , well done to everybody involved great business ye have 5 stars from me.

05/02/2025: Party of 4 for lunch. All agreed that the food was very tasty. Definitely return

01/03/2025: Is a must stop if u are passing by! We stopped for dinner, and I had the delicious Chicken Chorizo sauce OMG just the perfect kick of heat portion is definitely generous. My boyfriend had the steak sandwich, first place that u don't actually have to search for the meat cause the portion is good. No drinks cause we were driving, but a sneaky takeaway dessert, I will comeback for more rice pudding 👌🏻

27/02/2025: Called in today to catch up with an old friend, & was greeted by a really pleasant & friendly girl. I ordered the homemade soup, brown bread, & a toasted cheese & tomato sandwich. The soup was served piping hot, with some fresh & tasty bread. Unfortunately the sandwich was a real disappointment. A tiny sandwich cut into four triangles, each of which you could eat in one go. With a miniscule piece of melted cheese, & even less tomato. A really poor offering, & a shame, given the early positive vibes.

21/02/2025: We had the bridal suite as an upgrade and it was fantastic room 102. Breakfast was delicious and the overall experience was excellent. Super friendly staff

19/02/2025: Staff in the carvery are clueless, I ordered my meal and asked for some chips on the plate with my meal. My son was ordering too and I didn't realise the girl had forgotten to add them. I noticed she forgot the chips just as I sat down, I immediately returned to make her aware of her mistake. All I wanted was a small handful of chips. She gave them to me but said I would have to pay as I didn't get them with my dinner. So I went to the till to explain the mistake to a more senior staff member. When I spoke to an older more senior lady at the till she just said, Oh sorry about that, now that's going to be €4 I just paid for their mistake rather than causing an argument. But I'll never return because of this. Carvery food was disgusting also lots of cross contamination among dishes and poor food safety standards. DO NOT RECOMMEND

08/03/2025: Always great food, guinness isn't too bad either, recommend

09/02/2025: Lovely Saturday evening meal here, staff were great, food was great.

14/02/2025: Warm welcome, relaxed friendly atmosphere, traditional Irish pub in a small rural town, full menu, really tasty food, great value for money. Just 2 mins off the N4 on our way to Sligo. Would recommend!

11/02/2025: If you looking for a local restaurant and big portions, this is the place for you. Highly recommended, the mushroom soup was amazing!

07/02/2025: Excellent food choices and service top notch. Highly recommend this place for lunch and dinner. Staff particularly excellent and the flavour of food considering a simple menu.... Says it all

03/11/2024: Lovely spot for a Sunday lunch. Nice staff.

05/03/2025: Three friends and I tried the Asian fusion menu here on a Saturday night for the first time. I opted for the Thai Tom yum soup at €12 which was tasty and filling with a decent amount of prawns. Two of the others chose the Duck bon bons and the other had cheese burger spring roll. For mains I had the pulled lamb Bao buns for €16. You had to order side dishes to add to your main which looked quite skimpy on the plate by themselves. We shared two sides amongst the 4 of us. I expected double the amount for the chicken rice dish and the wok fried noodle and Asian vegetable side which were both respectively priced at 10 euro each. For dessert, a friend and I split and shared the Banoffee spring rolls with toffee syrup and espresso and caramel cheesecake: the latter was the better dish. The banoffee spring rolls were akin to banana fritters. For drinks, I had a Mojito mocktail at €9 as did another of the party. Another had a pink lady mocktail which was the same price as the Mojito mocktail. The non-driver of the group had 2 glasses of Sauvignon which were relatively reasonably priced. 3 of us finished with Americanos at €3.50 each. The total bill came to €208 or so. The staff were pleasant and the background music was very good. Think the portion of the sides need addressing for return visits.

25/02/2025: Absolutely love Red Earth. The food, the atmosphere, the service, everything is amazing. Can’t fault the place. Parking is tight enough but other than that, I love the place! My favourite dish is the Singapore Noodles.

07/02/2025: Nice atmosphere and delicious food. Everything we ate was fantastic and the service is very good, they are attentive, polite and friendly.

30/12/2024: We ended up here by chance at Lunch. The food is tasty and fresh. The only thing is that the fish could have been cooked a bit better, which is why we gave it one star. Location is a plus.

22/02/2025: Lovely evening, great food and great service. Highly recommended. Pat was attentive, and helpful throughout. For Starters we both had Goat cheese and onion tarts. Delicious. Butternut squash risotto was beautifully cooked and delicious, as was Beef cheeks. Desserts also fabulous, apple crumble and also Pavlova. Service throughout was exceptional. We will book here again for sure if we return.

01/12/2024: We had a family lunch for 14 people for a birthday & anniversary celebration. The restaurant manager Pat could not do enough for us. He was so welcoming, personable and fantastic with all the kids. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon and making the occasion so special. I’m looking forward to my next meal there. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

07/01/2025: Went for Christmas dinner with my husband's work colleagues ,there was about 30 of us. The food was excellent, service was excellent and staff friendly, courteous and obliging.

23/11/2024: The service was fantastic, the staff is very accommodating. We had a room to ourselves with three tables. Everything was served together, and all special requests were made. The food, as always was very good. Thank you for a great night.

22/03/2025: Absolutely fantastic food better than Ricky Ds

28/01/2025: The food was amazing, some of the best we have ever eaten as a family. From the wings, to the chilli beef, fish pie and pulled pork specials. They were incredible, and absolute gem of a restaurant if you are Athlone in a beautiful historic setting
