The best restaurants in Ashbourne

16/10/2025: I had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious — full of authentic flavours, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted fresh and made with care. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. You can really tell they take pride in both their cuisine and their hospitality. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a true taste of India and a warm, welcoming dining experience! P.S you HAVE to get the naan bread 🤤

12/10/2025: Food, drinks and service excellent. The only slightly jarring note was when I ordered the Masala Sharabi Aam Panna cocktail and was told "you won't like that - it's for Indian people" which surprised me, but I know it was meant well (presumably the staff have learnt from experience that the flavours are not for everyone). I went ahead and ordered it anyway and it was delicious. The food was excellent and very well presented, and the staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful with food recommendations. Highly recommend.

13/10/2025: Picked up an order over the weekend and was blown away by the friendliness of the staff on the day, a girl called Angelica looked after me and could not have been more helpful.

15/11/2025: ⸻ I recently visited this restaurant and was extremely disappointed with both the food and the service. To start, the garlic bread had no garlic at all — just plain warm bread with zero flavour. The garlic mushrooms were cold, as if they’d been sitting out before being served. The service was just as poor. We were never asked if we would like any drinks, and we had to ask for cutlery and even salt, which should be standard on any table. Basic things were constantly missing. The mains were another let-down. The lasagne tasted like a block of baked cheese, with the bottom burnt, and it lacked any proper sauce or seasoning. The carbonara had absolutely no flavour — just a bland white sauce, and the pasta was swimming in it, making it heavy and unpleasant. Even the facilities were disappointing. The tap in the men’s bathroom barely works, and the ladies’ toilet didn’t flush at all. Overall, it was a very poor experience from start to finish, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place.

17/08/2025: very nice has both an apache and chinese inside

15/08/2025: Great Pizza. Tables to sit at. The Asian food was excellent too. Good value about 80 Euronfor 5 of us. As you would ecpect.

17/11/2025: We have eaten at Eatzen many times over the years and always like to bring friends to enjoy the great food and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

02/11/2025: Great vegetarian options, especially the vegetarian rendang chicken!

11/10/2025: I was sitting down mooching loitering melt ashborune and a dog walks in barking and a kid is is crying over a stupid ice cream crepes we're to warm burnt me then I go to order and see that the line is out the door with one worker horrible to much chocolate on the crepes it's a really horrible shop and I hope it improves so on thanks xx

12/09/2025: The coffee shop is really cosy and clean. I loved the seats and coffee is great. Gelato also seems good. But I would like to say that the music was really horrible. I think a coffee shop in Ireland shouldn't be playing Latin American music. If it was Italian music it would make sense as Gelato is from Italy. But I think a sooth chilling music is the best for the atmosphere.

02/09/2025: Lovely takeaway friendly and nice food

20/08/2025: Proper chips, and they always arrive hot and fresh. The southern fried chicken is so good really well seasoned crispy coating and the chicken is never dry. Fast delivery plus they do a €2 bottle of chipper vinegar :)

18/10/2025: We stopped by The Stag’s Head and got a super warm welcome, even though we accidentally came in the back door before they were open. The folks there were great they even pointed us toward a few good spots to grab food until they opened back up. Gotta say, the Guinness is spot on (as it should be), and the apple cider’s a very close second.
