The best restaurants in Longford

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!

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??

13/07/2025: I ordered an iced latte and the waitress told me that they don't have more ice but then she started to do all the drinks with ice, I was very disappointed.

25/10/2025: Firstly, I have uploaded the latest menu - because some old ones are still listed on Google mentioning pizzas and all. It’s a good restaurant at the heart of the city - very well located and easily accessible. Definitely a very popular place among the locals. The staff was very courteous and nice - both the ladies were amazing and kind 😊🙏 My only slight disappointment was the quality of food. It was all made fresh but it was not as good. Especially if I look at the price, I didn’t feel it to be value for money. Like the pasta and sandwich both didn’t feel very good. Pasta had too much sauce in it (probably the one you get over the shelf in a Tesco/Dunnes) and the sandwich was also very basic … So that was my only disappointment. Maybe my experience was one off as they have very good reviews from others. I do hope some more variety and taste gets added 🙌

24/10/2025: Brilliant restaurant to visit. Good food and wine. Welcoming staff. Great for birthday parties
