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 ?

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

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.

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

17/06/2026: We only had drinks there and received excellent service. It's recommended to go between Thursday and Sunday. In the back, there's a fantastic bar (a must-see) with live music.

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.

31/03/2026: Great coffee shop, Katie and Alina know their coffee. Can't be replicated anywhere. Doing a great job.

18/03/2026: Great coffee, probably the best around, great food options and quality quick v friendly service. Consistently great

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.

21/04/2026: Great staff pints are ok but great atmosphere
