Thyme
Athlone
20/09/2024: Average, style over substance. The tartlet needed more salt. The woodpigeon was disappointing. I had only ever had it pink not as part of an apricot and walnut ballotine. It was overcooked? dry and didn't taste nice. The beef fillet was perfectly cooked but there wasn't enough beef cheek. The liquorice and rhubarb was delicious but I did think it would have been better if the rhubarb had been cooked a little more and was more tender. Initially the service was rushed.
15/09/2024: Very expensive but worth it if you have the money.
Woodpigeon as a starter was very rich in flavour and tastefully decorated.
The rib eye beef was melt in the mouth and had a delicious gravy along with a big Yorkshire pudding.
The chocolate souffle was also amazing, really warm and had caramel inside of it. Also they somehow made popcorn flavoured ice cream.
Would recommend.

The Left Bank
Athlone
11/10/2024: We stopped by this bistro for lunch after driving down from Dublin and visiting Sean’s Bar. It was a solid meal—I had the warm prawn and chorizo salad, which was flavorful and filling. My friend had the bisque and cleaned his bowl.
The staff were friendly and quick to help with anything. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.
13/09/2024: Overrated and miserable portions - 3 scallops in a starter for €12.95 - pretentious and not good value for money - service cold and rushed

My Melody Bistro
Athlone
02/11/2024: We popped in here for a small bite to eat after visiting Sean's bar. The place looks like a small cafe on the outside but is very homely inside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We opted for two caesar salad with no chicken and one chowder. The salads were top class and very tasty the chowder was creamy with a super flavour.
While in there we had a look at the evening a la carte menu, it looks comprehensive.
An ideal evening would be a visit to Sean's bar with some food in the River View bistro and back into Sean's bar again.
Highly recommended. Yes we will be back.
24/10/2024: Great welcome, simple but good food, nice and clean place... I recommend!

The Bailey Bar
Athlone
05/11/2024: We didn’t stay in the room but had heard this was the best food in the area. Thank you random Irishman “you were right!” Atmosphere was pleasant and busy. Definitely an older building; they used a dumbwaiter to bring the food from the kitchen. Everything we ate or drank was delicious and filling. My wife tried different ciders and I continued my Irish whiskey drinking! If the rooms are as good as the food then next time we’ll stay here for a day!
30/10/2024: Great spot in Athlone . Excellent food and friendly staff. My family and I had a wonderful time during the Scottish weekend, amazing

Walsh's Bar
Athlone
07/09/2024: I ordered a "cornish pasty" in Walsh's. I knew immediately it wasn't the real deal because it was made with puff pastry instead of shortcrust pastry, but figured I'd go for it because it would still be tasty...how wrong I was.
The filing of a cornish pasty should be beef, potato, turnip and onion; I couldn't tell you what filling Walsh's put in their pasty, certainly not beef, I don't even think there was any kind of meat in it; it was with a flavourless, soggy mush.
I regret not complaining and asking for my money back, considering I was charged about €10 for a product that was falsly labelled and unpalatable. Very disappointing.
24/08/2024: Gorgeous food and cakes here, definitely fresh. Would return next time I am in Clifden.
One negative was their organising at busy times. There were 2 queues one for people getting stuff to take away and then further in was the queue for self serve for people who were going to sit in the cafe. Because the first queue was so busy we didnt know that there was the second queue we spent a good 10 mins in the wrong queue.
Maybe if they had an usher at the door directing people to the correct queue, or serve the take-away customers through a separate window or hatch, things would be less chaotic at busy times.
Dont let this put you off though. Just make sure that you get in the correct queue if you are sitting down.

Diner
Athlone
30/09/2024: I went here for breakfast. I have to say the breakfast was one of the best valued breakfast i have had in a while, The service was very good. Friendly and homely. Which to me is a big win for any place. And the quality of the food is of a high standard.
13/05/2024: On our to do list for a while, as it’s been years from we’ve been so wondering if it was still all it’s cracked up to be definitely didn’t disappoint. Great menu with butcher quality food and good portions and served with a smile
