The best restaurants in Carrick-on-shannon

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 ?

29/07/2026: Nice coffee. Tasty cakes and friendly service from the staff... This coffee shop has the best views in the town from the upstairs regardless of the time of year. In the summertime, they have seats on the street. Overall, it's worth a visit.

25/07/2026: I had an exceptional experience at Coffey's Pastry Case! Everything felt really good, from the delicious food to the awesome service and atmosphere. Highly recommended

15/07/2026: Top bar good beer and great staff lovely bar good music well ran place great music

14/07/2026: Great place for their live music. Traditional music and solo performers really add to the atmosphere. Bar staff very attentive making g for a great night's craic.

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.

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!

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

15/08/2026: Lovely coffee, lovely food, lovely staff. Quite unsuspecting! And spotlessly clean. Cheers guys

13/08/2026: Always worth a stop in Carrick greatest coffee

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.

13/08/2026: Booked a table for 4 for my mother's birthday. One person was running late but we were told we had the table from 6 to 8pm. After a half hour the girl serving us insisted that we order immediately. Told her the other person was literally 5 minutes away but she still insisted we order "now" as the kitchen would get overwhelmed otherwise. Very poor service and attitude. We have eaten her a few times and it's always decent but this time was a big 👎👎👎

12/08/2026: Poor.. 45mins to get a drink order nevermind food.. Ordered the nachos as a starter and can only describe it as a bowl of slop, never had nachos severed like it dressing all slopped over soggy nachos I can only presume sitting for a long time. I got a call from an irate host telling me it's 8:30 my reservation was for 8 and they were going to charge me €20 for not Turning up.. At that point I taught I should have left and gone some where else. The mains were a slight improvement although I cannot place the sauce on chicken wings almost like it was on its way out.. The heated terrace is neither heated or a terrace.. Cold conservatory. Wouldnt visit again plenty of other places to dine in Carrick..

14/04/2026: Amazing place for food.. great staff and great value

11/04/2026: My 4th visit and never disappoints food is always fabulous tasty and like art on the plate and very reasonably priced if you want somewhere for a special occasion then you can't go wrong going here

29/07/2026: Kind people. Good service. Nice food.

05/07/2026: Top 2 pizzas in Ireland and it’s not second

02/05/2026: Pizza and chips from this establishment is phenomenal! James level to detail is next to superb ! I will Be back. Great good: great people , great experience !!!

09/06/2026: Yep...it's 200 years old, and it shows its age. The staff are friendly and helpful, but this property is in need of significant renovations. My travel buddy suggested a wrecking ball and rebuild. It's beyond a good scrub, a lick of paint, and new mattresses. While I really appreciated the dry humour of the front desk staff, it was equally matched with the dryness of the scones served for breakfast.

06/06/2026: Central hotel with a convenient car park st the rear. Very helpful and kind staff. Food in restaurant was tasty and waiting staff were great.

15/06/2026: Lovely hotel and great location. Food in the bar is really nice. Breakfast is very good. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Room was very spacious.
