The best restaurants in Longford

12/03/2026: I went to this restaurant a few months ago while driving from the West to Belfast, and what a wonderful occasion it was. I got speaking to the family who ran the place and they essentially joined me for dinner. Cooked me a beautiful carbonara dinner and we had a brilliant time. I want to thank them all for the amazing reception, food and atmosphere. They made me feel one of them and I want to wish them the best of luck in getting it up and running over the next years. When I'm back in Lanesborough, I'll definitely be stopping in! Get in here and support this fantastic restaurant with a gorgeous dinner to match!

09/03/2026: The atmosphere is fabulous, Family run business, food is unreal and the service amazing, their eye for every detail, if you haven't got a chance to dine yet its a must you won't be disappointed, all their dishes are cooked to order so fresh & delicious. I definitely to going back soon.

07/12/2025: Stopped here on our way to Dublin for a Sunday roast. Helped by the manager, who was abrupt to the point of rudeness and generally unhelpful. Rest of the staff were friendly. Food was terrible, with tough meat, unseasoned sides, uncooked potatoes.

09/10/2025: Rustic Inn sure has that good ambience with bar, eatery etc. You can have events here too but you must book early as it is in high demand. Free parking is available around and lots of access to nearby route.

31/03/2026: The place is soo good and best staff members. I loved it

03/01/2026: Visited over Christmas period. Food was excellent but atmosphere and decor was dull and drafty, service only ok, table setting arrangement (basic), drinks expensive.

19/03/2026: We held a small wedding gathering at The club Room at the end of February, and we are very grateful to Andreea for her thoughtful planning and communication. Everything went smoothly, and the restaurant even has a lovely small garden outside, perfect for photos. With the sunny weather, everything was absolutely perfect!

22/02/2026: Large room at back - it's like being in a glasshouse, overlooking a garden. Staff were friendly, efficient and we hadwater &bread replaced with ease. We went at lunchtime so both a l carte & set menu available. My main was skate and fabulous. The dessert of Passion Fruit baked Alaska was quite disappointing - I was expecting a tall mound of meringue on an ice cream sponge base but instead the base was a bit hard - like a biscuit and the filling was a sorbet. It was very flat. Coffee good.

23/10/2025: Great opening hours (7:00 AM - 6:00 PM), which is rare in Ireland. The staff is attentive, helpful, and friendly. Good coffee and sweets, cozy and warm. Very convenient location. Thank you!👍

08/08/2025: Stopped for a coffe, very nice owner and good coffe

27/12/2025: Love this shop. Always come here for coffee and shop whenever back in Longford 🤩

02/08/2025: A gorgeous little cafe with a beautiful aesthetic and funky atmosphere. The staff were lovely and friendly, serving delicious coffee and an array of amazing looking cakes and pastries. Stop in and grab a takeaway hot drink and treat, or take 5 and rest your feet. Highly recommended. But I was a bit confused about this location on maps and Mudshot cafe. Are you the same place??

22/03/2026: The dirt of this place. The place is in bad need of refurbishment, the upstairs looks like it was last cleaned and redecorated in the late 80s or early 90s.

16/03/2026: Somone must have dropped heaps of salt into every dish.

13/03/2026: Myself and my husband called in for lunch on our way to Mayo. We both ordered the open steak sandwich. It was beautiful. Not only did you get the open steak sandwich but fried peppers, onions and mushrooms, side salad, chips and a portion of pepper sauce. It was very well presented and didn’t disappoint in flavours and taste. Staff were very friendly. Both the ladies and gents toilets were absolutely spotless. Well done. We would highly recommend and great value as well.

06/01/2026: We called into Skellys en route to CenterParcs to have a bite to eat before we checked in as we knew the restaurants in CenterParcs would be crazy busy. The food was really excellent and really good value. My husband said the Guinness was "on point"!
