The best restaurants in Carrickmacross

27/08/2024: Best patio in town. The Guinness is top notch and the people running the place are even better!

29/06/2024: I was visiting from the states and JP Duffy from Shevlins Pub referred me to this establishment. I was looking for live music and it was a Sunday, June , 26th. Boy was I not disappointed ! The band was the best ever and I mean awesome !! Great atmosphere, service and people ! My family had a hotel and carriage shop in town in the mid 1800’s, what a great visit !

02/12/2024: I had the steak sandwich perfectly cooked. My niece had the beef burger and it was excellent. The valley lodge is one place in Carrick where you are guaranteed not to go away hungry.

28/11/2024: Food just fab.you cant beat a hot dinner on a cold day.And love the tea& bickys.

19/01/2025: (Traducido por Google) El menú sin gluten está disponible, lo cual es fantástico. (Original) Gluten free menu is avaliable which is fantastic

12/01/2025: We made a last minute reservation at the restaurant for a table for 4 on a Saturday night. No problem getting a table either on the bar or restaurant. Dining area is pleasant airy and well staffed. Senior staff manage the dining and bar service very well. A large menu with plenty of options for everyone’s taste. At least 10 starters / small plates and probably 20 main course options. I opted for a salad, which was lovely and fresh. Also ordered were the duck pancakes and spring rolls. The starter prices are in the high end but all decent size portions. Main courses I had grilled salmon with vegetables and sauce on the side. Again all tasty and fresh. Hake and pea risotto along with ribeye and scampi was ordered to the table. Everything got the thumbs up apart from The hake and risotto which was a little over done. Risotto is hard to keep fresh and had gone stodgy. To finish we had some coffees, (decent decaf) profiteroles and the rice pudding. Large portions particularly the rice pudding. all delicious. When we finished the meal we were also left to our leisure to finish our evening with closing drinks. No rush or pressure to leave. Overall we had a lovely leisurely relaxing meal.

16/11/2024: I love awesome coffee. I've been going since the doors were opened. To the extent that I literally go every day. I'm steadily making way through trying every type of coffee. The coffee is just outstanding and the staff are amazing. It's a place where you can go and know you are going to walk out smiling every time. 10/10

11/11/2024: Exceptional chai latte and service ❤️

11/09/2024: If you're looking for a good night .this is the only place in town to be

25/07/2024: Not bad, Just passing through the town

20/10/2024: Breakfast was absolutely fantastic, fresh ingredients and top quality coffee. This spot wouldn’t be out of place in the east village in NYC. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area

19/10/2024: Just a really great spot, excellent staff too! Amazing all day brekkie and super hot chocolate. Special mention for their pancakes also.
