The best restaurants in Meath

13/06/2026: It was my first time in Vanilla Pod restaurant, and I can say it was a wonderful experience, not only because of the great service, but the food was delicious 😋. It is difficult to describe how good it was. I order 3 course meals, but it is charged separately, I mean, for the dinner there is no option to choose 2 or 3 course as you can find it on the early bird menu. Although there is not a option, I strongly recommend the dinner in Vanilla Pod restaurant! Team are friendly (congratulations Caroline! Sorry I don't remember all the staff's names!). Only the atmosphere was loudly, maybe because there were 3 celebrations at the same time. Anyway, I will come back, definitely! Special because I couldn't try the Pork in the main menu (they served all the portions at the time I got in the restaurant). Congratulations, guys for good quality and good service!

27/05/2026: Loved it. Played a mixed match & won. Food was lovely.

09/05/2026: Great place to visit and have dinner or lunch some great restaurants and other food outlets recommen 100%

30/05/2026: This hotel boasts wonderful hospitality from its staff. While it's about an hour and a half bus ride from Dublin, it's highly recommended for those who enjoy the slight inconveniences of a small Irish town away from the hustle and bustle. The hotel is in an older building, but it was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The staff, in particular, were all fantastic. Perhaps because we were a group of five Japanese, every staff member we encountered was attentive, asking if we were enjoying our stay, where we'd gone, and so on. They even informed us in advance that the hotel lacked an elevator, demonstrating their thoughtful consideration. The restaurant food was delicious, and breakfast was excellent. It's located on a busy street, so it can get noisy at night, but a taxi from Dublin costs around €100. This hotel offers a truly authentic Irish hospitality experience.

23/11/2025: Went for brunch with my three children and the service and food was top class. Breakfast burrito, acai bowls and pancakes all gorgeous.

15/06/2026: Family night out, this was our second time here, we learned our lesson from the first time not to order so much(even though the waitress told us we'd have loads). Huge portions, so tasty. We also tried one of the dessert skillets(couldn't fit it in the first time!) Friendly staff.....enjoyed every mouthful and every minute if our visit here.

15/06/2026: Went last night. The food is amazing. Great quality and very big portions but your waiters let you know this before ordering which I found a great service. Staff are really nice. It's nice and quiet so you get to have a chat. Definitely great value. I will definitely go back 💯 recommend

28/04/2026: Very basic food, nothing to talk about, would not return.

20/03/2026: This is hands down the best place around Navan to get a kebab—it’s worth the trip just to grab one! Their kebabs are top-tier in price, portion, and taste. The pizzas are even better than a Pizza Hut-style, but superb. The staff treats you like gold—if you go regularly, they know you and what you love. Super friendly, and the service is an 11 out of 10!

14/06/2026: No too busy, food good quality, friendly staff

13/05/2026: I used to love this place but my God has the quality gone to absolute bits. Ordered for deliver and when the food arrived, not only was the food cold. But the "chilli cheese" fries has to go straight into the bin the meat was so horrible and clearly out of date. The driver also forgot one of the drinks and when I called the restaurant to ask for it they said they couldn't send a driver for just one drink. I explained it was not one drink it was the rest of my order that I have paid for. I was told id just have to bring it up with just eat. Given its also quite pricey I would recommend ANYWHERE in Navan over this place.
