The best restaurants in Navan (an uaimh)

08/09/2026: We love eating here. The food is fantastic - fresh, full of flavour and great portion sizes. The service is excellent and the staff are so friendly. Grzegorz and Co. really make an effort to ensure customers are looked after and have a great dining experience.

08/09/2026: I popped in here on Aug 28th to treat my two boys after their first day back at school. There is a large menu by the counter, but they don't want you to stand there and actually look at it- let's just say the chef could not find a mannerly way of asking us to clear the aisle. The 'waitress' offered a small table for.. two. Due to the lovely weather I said we'd try the outside table- well she could not hide her disappointment at having to provide service outside- why have an outside table then? After we'd picked our pizzas I went back inside to drop back the menus. As the waitress was passing by I politely called her attention and said we were all set to order. Keep in mind that the place was mostly empty. She completely ignored me..I mean..Completely. She then walked over to take an order from a couple with a cute baby that had arrived in well after we had. So, no queue system then I guess? A little embarrassed in front of my boys, before things got any worse, I decided to take them home- you learn to read the warning signs over the years. So, in my opinion they don't like to see people with children coming in. If you have family with you I would avoid. Now, maybe there were a series of misunderstandings, as the waitress had gone to the toilet, and maybe she had just forgotten about us. I mean, good people would never view customers as the same as the dirt on their shoes, ..would they? (Can't rate food).

16/08/2026: As well as great service, the food is amazing and made to the way I like it best.. Most definitely our favourite place to go for dinner

16/08/2026: Great service and gorgeous food

20/07/2026: Very good atmosphere and very quiet. Good service, very polite workers. And the cafe was nice and clean. I ordered a turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce with tomato soup. It was very nice but the tomato soup could be more creamier and sweeter, it was a bit watery. But I still enjoyed it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

04/07/2026: My favorite cafe in navan. Great food great portions great staff

13/09/2026: ⭐ 1 Star – Extremely disappointing experience after almost 20 years of visiting I have been a regular visitor to Zucchini’s for almost 20 years. The food has always been excellent, and 99% of my restaurant and hotel reviews are positive. I am not someone who enjoys bashing businesses, which makes this review particularly disappointing. I booked a table online for my wife, my parents in their 70s and our 10-month-old baby. The booking system offered the option to add an infant and asked about buggy and high-chair requirements. I completed the booking and received confirmation. On arrival, I was told I had not booked for the infant and that there was no space for our group. I explained that I had booked correctly and tested the website on my phone, discovering that the infant appeared to disappear from the booking afterwards. I have screenshots and videos showing this. When I calmly raised the issue, the owner became extremely confrontational, told me to leave and threatened to call the Garda. This was deeply upsetting for my family, particularly my 77-year-old father. I want to give genuine credit to the assistant manager, who was polite, respectful and understanding. He acknowledged that there appeared to be an issue with the website and immediately tried to resolve the situation. Unfortunately, by that stage, we no longer felt comfortable remaining and decided to leave. Why I have been forced to post this review I initially posted a review on TripAdvisor and deliberately waited 24 hours to give the owner an opportunity to reflect and contact me. No such contact came. The restaurant’s response to my TripAdvisor review is inaccurate and fails to tell the full story. It states that the issue was resolved, but completely omits the threats made to intimidate me and my family. It also fails to acknowledge that we were respectful throughout, and that the assistant manager treated us with courtesy and professionalism. The owner was the person who was rude and confrontational, she was the only member of staff that we had any issue with. She did not have the manners to acknowledge any mistake, either at the restaurant or afterwards, and instead blamed me for a problem with the booking system. What makes this particularly frustrating is that I can now see the option to add an infant has been removed from their website. The issue appears to have been corrected, yet there has still been no apology. I have therefore felt forced to post this Google review as well as my TripAdvisor review, because I do not believe the restaurant’s response accurately reflects what happened. I have huge sympathy for the staff here, particularly the assistant manager, who handled a very difficult situation with professionalism and respect.

28/08/2026: Really impressed. Both had 3 courses, all irish sourced food. The lamb main was a special on the night and was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. All 6 courses did not disappoint. To highlight my wife said, her black pudding salad starter was potentially the nicest starter she has ever had. Staff were all smiling and there was a nice atmosphere with the music playing at a reasonable decibel level. 10/10 would recommend.

16/08/2026: Went in with family for dinner. It was busy for a Sunday afternoon at 420pm so I was expecting to wait. At 440pm I seen other people had come in just after us and had been given food withun 20 mins. Still waiting s I questioned the wait and told its on the way. At 455pm I went up again and asked and told it was on the way. I said we've been sitting there nearly 40 mins and no sign of the food yet. Not happy. She said it was only ordered 20 mins ago not 40 mins. In that case the first girl had forgot to put the order through. At 505pm I said this has to be sorted soon it's ridiculous. It came out 3 minutes later. There was no effort made to adjust the bill because of their negligence, couldn't even take a couple of cluh orange drinks off as a gesture of good well on their part. Was my first time there in a long time and I can say I'll never be back again. Because this used to always be a great pub back in the day. Shame to see it gone to the dogs. Very let down by the service. The only saving grace was the food was nice but it was not worth waiting nearly an hour for when it was their issue and they didn't want to accept responsibility. Would have been great otherwise. Shame. And would certainly not recommend.

11/09/2026: We had our Day 2 of our wedding in Mervyn’s yard From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. The staff were so friendly, attentive and helpful, and nothing was ever too much trouble. They really helped make the day so special for us and our families. The food was absolutely incredible too — everyone commented on how lovely everything was, and we couldn’t have asked for better. We really appreciate all the hard work that went on behind the scenes to make sure everything ran so smoothly. It was the perfect way to continue our wedding celebrations, and we will have such lovely memories of the day. Thank you again to all the team at The Central for making it such a special occasion for us. We genuinely couldn’t fault a thing! - Jason and Martin
