The best restaurants in Carrick-on-shannon

30/04/2026: I dont know what happened.We’ve eaten here 3 times since and its been really poor.We had hoped it was a one off but alas no.Friends have said the same…. Food was absolutely fab.Both of us had a different main and a different dessert.Couldnt fault any of it....I've has to edit this review.Wife said her dinner was one of the best she has ever had. Now with Covid they have being doing take away.I really recommend their fish pie. 2024…still fab

12/04/2026: The food was wonderful, really tasty and well presented. (the pork bite starter was a bit boring in comparison to all the other wonderful dishes, but well cooked and balanced). The atmosphere was great, we were close to the guitar player but the music wasn't intrusive at all, we enjoyed it. The staff were all friendly, efficient and had a good sense of humour. Love that they have a list of their staff members and suppliers in the menu. Great selection of local alcohol too.

02/06/2026: Always a really worthwhile place to visit.. Fine food, nice atmosphere, staff very attentive. Highly recommend 5* experience

02/06/2026: It’s a nice place! The food is good. The staff is nice, I was only sad that they didn't tell us there's a garden; after my friend told me later that the garden is beautiful. It was my first time.

06/05/2026: We had a great experience here.. Staff super friendly. Atmosphere was super, tables not too close and could still chat even though it was busy . But the food, my god, I love italian and this was class. As a passer by in Carrick On Shannon do yourself a favour and try this place.. I said to my wife that thats how its done ✔️ Absolutely great experience and keep up the great work..

05/05/2026: Never got a bad meal here. It never fails to deliver.

17/05/2026: Lovely little cafe. The menu is simple but very VERY tasty food with high quality ingredients! Staff are lovely. Best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had in a good while.

14/04/2026: Small cafe with great food and great service.

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.

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

17/03/2026: Just had a pint while waiting for company to arrive. There was a function on upstairs but it didnt affect the over atmosphere

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.
