The best restaurants in Leitrim

05/06/2026: I love this place! The steaks here are some of the best I’ve ever had — juicy, flavorful, and generously sized. For just €29, you get a huge plate with a steak, fried onions, and potatoes. The portion is truly impressive and definitely worth the price. They also have a great selection of cocktails to choose from. The dining area is spacious and has a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves a good steak.

04/06/2026: The portions were generous and the food tasted good. They don’t have a huge variety of options, but this is our second time coming here and both visits have been consistently good. The gravy was especially generous, with plenty of it served on the meal.

14/07/2026: This was a great dining experience but you would need to book as it filled up very quickly. Table service was excellent and the food was beautifully presented. The floor staff were excellent and constantly topped up your water glass. Would definitely return again

18/06/2026: A very good restaurant, the food was delicious and the staff were wonderful. They took great care of us. If you're in Carrick-on-Shannon, it's a must-visit. 100% recommended! 👌🏽

22/06/2026: The food is good, but I’ve been to Milan, so my expectations were higher. That’s why I’m only giving 3 stars.

20/06/2026: NOT VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY . I have tried this restaurant multiple times and alongside the 80% rude stuff the food is not vegetarian if labelled so . I have gotten reactions from it as I haven't ate meat due to medical reasons and even fully a fish bone out of my vegetarian pasta . Do not eat here if you've any food allergies. This particular meal today the staff have been unhelpful and terrible with service . Can anyone recommend better places in Carrick ?

11/07/2026: The seabass and steak was absolutely outstanding — perfectly cooked, delicately seasoned, and incredibly fresh. A genuinely impressive plate of food and easily one of the best seabass and steak dishes we've had in Ireland. Best chef ever. Thank you

02/06/2026: Once again, the restaurant rose to the occasion. The food was delicious.

06/07/2026: Staff were very friendly, food was gorgeous 🥰

06/07/2026: Just lovely home cooked food served by a very friendly helpful lady we will be going back for more .

09/07/2026: Always great pints and service. Did not have food but pizzas look great and smell amazing

10/06/2026: Nice refurbishment, but retaining it's atmosphere

28/07/2026: A restaurant with a classic pub atmosphere. The service was very friendly, and the menu offered more than the usual four standard dishes; vegetarians were also well catered for. The mineral water was included in the price, just like tap water, and wasn't charged to us.

19/07/2026: Great pup and restaurant. The only thing that stopped me on giving 5 stars is that the Steak sandwich was a bit well done and I have ordered medium and the when you order a stake sandwich you always get a cibatta cut in half. I only got the bottom of the ciabatta... Staff is nice and atmosphere was great.

30/05/2026: The food was so good. My girlfriend I enjoyed the service of Aifric. She took our order and special requests and the food came exactly as was ordered. She was very warm. We’d recommend and we will definitely be back🥳🥳

06/05/2026: One of just a few eateries open on a Tuesday evening during a slightly off peak season. The BR Bistro is easily accessible for a wheelchair and the owner/floor manager was most accommodating and helpful. This is a family run business and the owners serve on a 'front line' system. They obviously take great pride in their business and the eating experience reflects their dedication. The steak selection for the evening was fillet and for me, cooked precisely to my liking. Declining the chips option I was served tastily prepared baby potatoes as a side dish. Perfect! My wife's Prawn dish c/w Spanish chorizo was equally enjoyed. The husband and wife team were charming, friendly and very helpful. Our bill came came to €44 per person including drinks which we consider good value these days for excellent fare and proper, personal service. We chose this restaurant for the evening partly because of the limited choice available on the off peak season. We wish now that we'd have found it sooner. We'll be back to Carrick on Shannon in the future though and the BR Bistro will be our number 1 choice when dining out.

03/08/2026: What a mad house on a bank holiday weekend. Great band playing on way in. But with the boom boom coming from the disco at the rear they were impossible to hear. Lots of very drunk people about at 8 in the evening. Would not like to be here at 11pm really a place for the stags hens and young people.

22/06/2026: i did not eat there☺️very nice place

09/07/2026: We booked because we didn't know the theme was India. The dishes were very good.

01/07/2026: A group of us went here last Friday for a leaving dinner. To say the food was outstanding from start to finish is an understatement. absolutely fabulous. Our waitress was Mairead and she was just top class. Couldn't do enough for us. She even brought a decorated Brownie plate out as a surprise for the girl that was going to her new job. Thanks again Mairead!!! In fact all the staff in Eight Degrees are super friendly & welcoming and fantastic at their jobs. Cant wait to return!

15/07/2026: Absolutely blown away with the service Afc delivered for around 40 guests no stress and delicious pizza's of all kinds highly recommend Afc thanks a million you made our night. Everyone kept saying great idea and yummy 😋

15/07/2026: Lovely takeaway. This was our 2nd visit. Staff very friendly & attentive. Great food, best pizza I've ever had!!

17/07/2026: Absolutely delicious! The ribs were so tender they practically fell off the bone just by looking at them. My colleague ordered the smooth-fleshed seafood straight from the fryer. It was also outstanding. The ambiance is reminiscent of a grandmother's living room in the 1950s. Very stylish and fitting, in my opinion. The service was also very competent and able to answer any questions about the restaurant's cuisine. Anyone who eats here is making the right choice. You should know.

14/07/2026: First time dining here : Meat platter for two expected more meat for the cost very little meat on the ribs wasnt filling enough for 2 people . Pasta dishes needed more flavor and more tomatoes n veg within the dish. The kids bolognese was delicious. The staff are wonderful the place is cool. Bit on the expensive side considering the size of portions we felt. Glass of wine €8.50 across the road was €6.50 big jump of price difference.

26/07/2026: A little hidden gem in Carrick-on-Shannon. The cozy courtyard is a quite place to relax, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Both the cappuccino and the decaf flat white were excellent - not something you find everywhere. We also loved the freshly baked scone served with butter and jam, and the carrot cake was great. A lovely little café with a relaxed atmosphere, great coffee, and delicious homemade treats. We would happily come back and highly recommend it!

15/07/2026: We found The Olive Tree in Carrick-on-Shannon because ChatGPT recommended it as the best place for breakfast between Tullamore and Sligo, and it was absolutely right. We arrived with a group of 12, and the team could not have been more welcoming. They seated all of us together with no problem and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was outstanding, the coffee was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and inviting. Everything was fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. If you are travelling through the area, this is well worth a stop. Fantastic food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. Five stars from all 12 of us. We will definitely be back.

11/07/2026: Food was very nice but we were waiting over an hour for our food. We ordered some starters and did not receive all of them. Had to ask for the bill 5 times and when we got it, there was dishes on it that we didn’t order

01/06/2026: Popped into Vitto’s for dinner and it was fab! We had prawns and bruchetta to start and it was the nicest we’ve gotten in a long long time. Would highly recommend! We had a bit of a long wait until the plates were picked up but the carbonara and beef stroganoff was well worth it! It was fabulous! Overall fantastic would definitely come again!

23/01/2026: Great atmosphere. Lovely open fire cooking away. Great pints of Guiness

22/01/2026: Lovely pint, lovely staff and a roaring fire. Best pub in Leitrim.
