The best restaurants in Longford

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.

05/01/2026: Blend and overpriced food and the worst owners. We went because of the reviews but were very disappointed;;

16/12/2025: Update (2025): Not worth the price. Beautiful environment, lovely service, and the menu looks gorgeous - but the food itself isn’t refined enough. The foie gras and venison were very conventional and on the small side, though cooked perfectly. The accompaniments were disappointing: nothing magical about the quince and brioche (soulless slices of cooked fruit and a dry brioche “crouton”), the crumble was missing, and the cavolo nero was overly salty. The celeriac dauphinoise was bland and, to my taste, undercooked - I didn’t eat it. I wasn’t satiated and really wanted to like the place, so I ordered the chargrilled chicken dish. Again, perfectly cooked meat, but hardly chargrilled and rather bland. The baby parsnips were undercooked; the sausages were basic and definitely not homemade; the cabbage was forgettable; and the redcurrant jam arrived cold. A couple of service hiccups too: the waiter didn’t know what a natural or biodynamic wine is and, after consulting the sommelier, pointed out two wines that, on closer inspection, were only organic. Finally, despite flagging a soya allergy, I was served bread containing soya. This was quickly rectified - but if they used good-quality bread, it wouldn’t have been an issue in the first place. At 5:45pm I appreciated the quiet dinner and quick service, but if I’m paying £100 for a meal and a tea, it really should be much better than this. Old review (2023): After wonderful starters, we were very disappointed by the mains. Both our veal and lamb were tough, not enjoyable to eat. Lovely atmosphere although quite cold in the evening, with a draft. Check out their lunch deals!

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.

22/12/2025: Absolutely fantastic meal at Spice India Longford! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From start to finish, everything was spot on. The food was beautifully cooked. Butter chicken was rich and creamy, the chicken tikka was perfectly spiced, and the prawn starter was deliciously fresh. Portions were generous and great value for money. The service was excellent: friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being rushed. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Every dish we tried was a hit, and the whole experience exceeded expectations. Easily one of the best Indian meals we’ve had locally. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back!

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??
