The best restaurants in Meath

13/10/2024: We had eaten here a few times, just wanted a toastie. Food was tasty, but the portion was small , I ordered chips , it was tiny about 10 skinny chips . My wife had chicken bap , and it was also tasty. Again very small portion. The cost incl 2 teas cost €35. I queried the owner about size of portion, in particular chips . She said it was not raised before ,€4.50 for 10 skinny chips is excessive. I believe the owner has now retired. I was disappointed because We had always found portion size and taste very good.

20/09/2024: Really enjoyed the streak baguette from here today Came with really fresh salad and also really fresh chips home made will definitely be back

22/03/2025: Was going to the toilet then when I herd a knok I went to hurry up then I heard somone put a coin in the door and open saw the mangers head and said what are you doing and she walked out and hid in the back room I felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed

21/03/2025: Costa Coffee is always my shop of choice for coffee even when plenty others are around. Yesterday I was in the new Costa in Navan which was amazing with friendly service, but today, I popped I to Costa in Trim to pick up a muffin, drink and then I used the bathroom. I'm always polite, friendly and never forget to say please and thank you as manners cost nothing. The lady serving me was nothing short of impatient and rude. I didn't understand the toilet code she gave me and I repeated what I thought she said incorrectly. She sighed, hands on hips, rolled her eyes, waited a while and repeated herself. I get people having issues and maybe not having the best day, but I don't think I've ever come across this before. Who rolls their eyes at a customer politely asking for the door code. Definitely won't be back.

28/10/2025: Great atmosphere great staff pity doesn't serve food

23/09/2024: A great hidden gem I discovered. Nice food, but even better than the food was the customer service & attention to detail. These folks need to give classes on how to serve in a restaurant. Remarkable!! Oh, don't forget to buy some carrots for kiddos to feed the donkeys! Wait until you see the antiques shop. Get some farm fresh produce while you in there!

20/06/2024: Clean and friendly staff,food is frozen food heated up...I got ribs and chicken wings ..ribs where ok but a bit cool...chicken wings were nearly cold...the wife got chicken wings and hers were hardly heated..service was slow and no one came back after serving to see if everything was OK with food..I expect more for my money so I won't be back...

05/07/2025: Best Italian food I've had in Ireland, there can't be more than a few places on this level and half them are probably €150pp Michelin stars. You enjoy it more as food is perfectly home cooked with TLC and top ingredients and flavour and it's actually healthy Mediterranean food without cheap chemicals and oils etc typical of modern "food". Digests really well and you feel great even after having a big feed and dessert too. Server was really nice and the chips were perfectly crispy and made from a nice potato. Pizza was custom ordered and very very nice. One of the nicest pizzas I've had. The bourbon vanilla soft serve Italian ice cream and (I forgot the name of it but basically soft pastry wrapped desert with light whipped cream) was very very good I enjoyed the small homemade and very tasty desert more than a big bowl of cheap ice cream which is only chemicals frozen milk and sugar. Bit pricey but it's actually fair for the service and quality of food and ingredients. You just need to know what you're getting and that it is a premium dining experience. With soft drinks, 2 desert, chips and a 12 inch custom pizza between 2 people and a few euro tip to round it the meal came to 50 which was well worth it. Definitely will be back for special occasions.

06/06/2025: Tried Cesare’s for the first time tonight and was really impressed. The food was full of flavour and felt genuinely Italian. We had the pasta and Pizza and it was cooked perfectly. The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome right away. Cosy atmosphere too, great spot for a relaxed meal out. Will definitely be back!

25/09/2025: Affordable and large portions! Also lots of seating available.

01/06/2025: Visited here yesterday for a vegetarian pizza ./ coke . Apart from spinach on the topping it was tasteless and overpriced at €15. If you want a good pizza this is not the place to go .

31/12/2024: We had dinner and breakfast in this restaurant. The service was excellent with very efficient friendly staff both for evening and morning. More staff than I’ve witnessed in other hotels no cost cutting here. Would v much recommend this

24/12/2025: The best cafe i drink in the world the girl do it have red hair very good job 👏

17/08/2025: I was in insomnia in Navan and at first when I walked in the staff ran to the counter as they were sitting with their friends drinking their own coffees which I assume they didn’t pay for. This left me with a bad first impression as the staff were laid back and unprofessional. After I ordered they returned to customer seats and continued to eat and drink the shops goods. In the time I was there drinking my coffee I estimate they had at least two coffees which they made themselves. This was very unprofessional and I didn’t like the experience I would advise the manager take a look at cctv and see what his employees really get up to during working hours. Furthermore the friends who joined them weren’t drawing pictures at their table like some sort of children and using the electricity to charge their phones. This isn’t very appealing for customers as assume their friends done them a favour by the ont then their coffee for free meanwhile I paid €5.90 for mine. Utterly disgraced and disgusted and not happy with the experience. Staff were nice but only because I imagine their trying to pretend they care about their job please look into the employees in Navan insomnia.

19/03/2026: The full breakfast here will set you up for the day.

08/08/2025: Dined on Friday at lunch and had a very pleasant experience. Food and service excellent. Well done to all. Lovely ambiance.

15/07/2025: Awful experience. The manager, a blonde lady, got confused with me and other man. I am now “barred” as I am bald and look some way look like a man who spiked a drink and who this establishment says “caused trouble”. They will no longer serve me or when I brought my mother. I recommend you drive on to Avoca. At least the service will be fair.
