The best restaurants in Carrick-on-shannon

28/08/2026: This restaurant is no longer here. It has now been replaced by a new restaurant with a new owner — AROMA RICH RESTAURANT.

30/04/2026: Placed an order and then received a phone call saying they had no gas, so they couldn’t cook the food. We were told to cancel the order through Just Eat, but we couldn’t because the restaurant had already marked it as ready for collection. When we called back to explain this, the girl who answered asked us to hold for a moment and, clearly thinking we couldn’t hear her, said: ‘What is it that he doesn’t f****** understand?’ We understood perfectly — every issue was caused by the restaurant. While problems can happen, speaking about paying customers like that is completely unacceptable. We were then told to come back in for a cash refund. When confronted about her comment, instead of apologising, she claimed it “wasn’t about the guy on the phone.” What makes this worse is that we’ve been ordering from here for years, and over the last year there have been multiple issues, including incorrect orders — one involving allergies. When we called previously about an allergy-related mistake, we were told nobody in the kitchen could speak English. That is incredibly dangerous when dealing with food allergies. After years of being customers, the complete lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic respect shown tonight has ensured we will never return.

23/08/2026: I had lunch here a few weeks ago and it was not great. First no table service, You order and pay first at the counter. This was a saturday morning and they had about 4 staff out front and i assume 2 more in the back. We order 3 breakfasts, 3 coffee's and 3 OJ. We got Breakfast first with no cutlery.. 35 mins later we got the OJ and10 more mins the coffee. This was after asking 3 time for them. I will say the food was not bad but the service ruined the meal.

01/04/2026: I had a lunch here last week when staying in the landmark hotel. It was a cold and wet day and this cafe was a nice warm refuge from the weather. The toasted sandwich I got was lovely and the coffee was nice too. They had some gorgeous and tempting looking desserts on display. The lady working here with the English accent was very friendly & personable. I returned the next day to get one of those impressive looking homemade cinnamon buns as a treat for my partner. She said it was one of the nicest cinnamon buns she’s had and far better than the big chain cafes. Overall would recommend.

30/06/2025: I have been looking for a genuine Indian restaurant since moving to the area 7 years ago, finally found it. The food was excellent and service was top notch. Reasonable price £160 for 5 people with starters and side dishes. I will be going back for more

29/07/2026: Wow... €3.25 for a bag of ice.... That's up from €2.99 (which was still very expensive) last week. Presumably they just put up prices as they feel like it.
