The best restaurants in Longford

06/09/2025: Good coffee but I'm often disappointed by the long wait times for coffee, especially during peak hours around 9 am. With only one barista on duty, it's challenging for them to keep up with demand, leaving customers like me frustrated and rushed. Hopefully, the coffee shop will consider increasing staff numbers to improve service and reduce wait times.

09/08/2025: Takeaway coffee shop serving a fine selection of teas and coffees to the denizens of D8 and beyond. If the weather's good you can sit outside, snack on an almond pastry and do your Wordle. Popular with canines and their owners too which is always a good sign.

05/04/2026: No bad we got food here one night it's only 5 minutes from center parcs and its a lot cheaper and nicer then center parcs

25/02/2026: Ordered a takeout for delivery for the first time 22nd Feb 2026. Never used their business before. Sorry I did. Spent 53euro on 3 kids and myself. From time of order to actual delivery took 2 hrs and 10 mins. After the first hour , waited over an hour , phoned in to enquire as to time of delivery. The person who answered the phone said he left 5 /6 mins ago, said he prob had other rounds to make before he got to me. That's fine. Waited another half hour, called again to be told same thing. Waited again, called and asked him to call the driver, so he said ill call him now. So after 2 hrs and 10 mins, driver arrives and promptly said to me" oh ye must be starving"? Yeah after waiting over 2 hours!! Your business is 10 mins drive from here. Some proper smart ass. Food was very disappointing regretfully. Spice bag especially , more soggy chips than anything. Egg fried rice usually means egg comes in it. Overall this was a very disappointing waste of time and money from a business that expressed no empathy or customer satisfaction. Delivery driver however, with his "ye must be starving"? Comment, needs a lesson in common manners when delivering a service

20/11/2025: The food was incredible. Authentic Moroccan food. So balanced in flavours that it digests perfectly. Service that makes you feel like you've entered the home of a good friend. Loved that the menu was large font for easy reading. 🤓 If you don't know what to order just ask and she will help you. So great to see such passion for food.

12/11/2025: Little moroccan bubble, Excellent food , Coffee and service I keep coming back!

08/01/2026: We had a great experience last night at Cara's with my parents, wife and kids. Most of us had pizzas, they were absolutely delicious. All the staff were friendly, helpful and polite. Special mention to our server Ashling for how well she looked after us, she's a star.

29/11/2025: Food is always lovely in Caras but I'm giving a low rating from our last experience there our waiter was really nice and attentive we asked the waiter could we have our childs food chopped up as he has a disability and the knifes weren't good enough on the table to do this he asked the chef and the chef proceeded to give out to him and handed him a rough steak knife for us to do it ourselves I could hear him say this it was no better than the one we had on the table already by the time we had it someway chopped up it was gone cold and our son didn't want to eat it our food was gone Cold too you could see into the kitchen and I could see the chef mouthing off aswell.. Im a chef myself and I didn't think it was a big ask it would have taken them 2 minutes to do in the kitchen very disappointed and also the way the chef spoke to the waiter I told him it wasn't his fault and I could see exactly what the chef said to him this is our fourth time been to centre parcs and eating at Caras it was always our favourite but after this we won't eat there again it wasn't even busy when we asked as we had an early booking so disappointed

17/02/2026: Chicken curry and chips horrible sauce way too salty, can't get a normal menu online or in-store, 7:30, for a portion of sausages and a spice burger. Criminal, don't blame inflation or rising costs for that

15/02/2026: Food wasn’t nice ordered a lunch box the chips was soggyand drenched in vingear to the extent where the box was falling apart from the grease and vinegar chicken was alright waited 5 mins for her to actually put the order in after I had told her what I wanted took about 20 minutes to get me food wasn’t busy only 2 people in there that had ordered over the phone before me

14/01/2026: Amazing bar, lovely staff and owners.

17/12/2025: The best 😎🙏Whatever you want for breakfast, you can have it👍🙏

16/01/2026: Great food and great family atmosphere, highly recommend.

06/12/2025: We absolutely love Jolly Boys- whether it’s sitting inside in winter or in the outback (outside dining) in the summer the food, drinks and service is 10/10. The atmosphere is laid back (great music and interiors) and the staff are so good with the kids; the place is so family friendly with a great menu for everyone, including delicious gluten free options (including GF pizza and chips) 👌🏻👌🏻 They do great beers including local IPAs and an excellent cocktail menu too! Look forward to the next visit already ❤️

21/03/2026: Everytime I pass through Granard I stop here for my dinner. Amazing locally sourced ingredients, very generous portions, staff are always friendly & welcoming & food is never a let down, very reasonable priced to.

13/03/2026: I cycled a hundred miles the day I visited The Courtyard Café and was very impressed with the Chicken Caesar wrap and chips that was served, absolutely outstanding.

19/12/2025: I ordered a cake as a family present from The Courtyard Cafe.. It was ready and given on payment with no fuss. The staff were nice and good and I'm writing particularly because the cake was first class.. the price was really good for the top job that was done. I'm going there in future. Needless to say the Birthday cake was gone into the bellies in no time. People commented on how good the cake looked and it was tasty regards, Anthony.

07/03/2026: Dont buy from here, ordered smoke chicken each portions costs 8,50 each and you get plenty of rice and 7 pieces of smoke chicken, ridiculous and theft, will never order again and recommend anyone to stay away from these thieves

06/05/2026: Hotel is in need of renovation. There was multiple issues with no hot water, no heating and slight smell of mold. Not the most clean rooms but hats off to the staff, excellent customer service, special thanks to Shauna, everyone was kind but state of the hotel definitely needs improving.

06/05/2026: Genuinely dreadful experience at the Longford Arms Hotel. There was no hot water in the rooms, and the bedroom was freezing from the moment I checked in right through to the following morning. Despite raising the issue with staff, nobody followed up or made any effort to resolve it. Even at checkout there was no proper explanation as to why nothing had been done. The whole place came across as badly managed and completely uninterested in guest comfort. The only positive is the central location.

21/09/2025: Best takeaway in town I love the chicken wings and amazing staff

31/08/2025: The chicken was hot the wrap was chicken wrap was too sweet , ketchup to sweet , the chicken tasted disgusting , the pizza wasn't nice at all , doesn't give you an option on what chicken you want eng southern fried or plain or spicy it gives you spicy ,

06/05/2026: Very bad experience with the front staff the guy who took the order worst attitude towards the customer he took the wrong order all together when I returned the wrong food there is no least a word sorry very disappointed never ever come back again I taken orders previously from here the two girls always was very helpful but this is not acceptable and even arguing that he is right asked for pork ribs in sauce instead of pork ribs in sauce he took it as just curry sauce I clearly said my order pork ribs the main thing as a customer I got annoyed because of his attitude towards the customer not acceptable especially in the hospitality industry I am so sorry to write this

21/04/2026: Got a takeaway from here for the first time in years.Sweet and sour chicken balls.Very tasty and the chicken was good.

26/03/2026: Had takeaway and it was very good lamb makhni wasn't expecting that taste in such small rate lol Staff is very friendly will go again definitely when I'll pass by

12/01/2026: Ballymahon needs a proper Indian restaurant/takeaway. Badly! This isn’t it. They served me a rotten meat burger and ignored my complaint about it.
