The best restaurants in Roscommon

03/09/2025: The staff were absolutely marvellous. Very helpful in explaining the dishes on the menu that I wasn't sure how spicey they were. There was a great selection on the menu. One small fault I would prefer ala carte. The soup was to die for!

26/08/2025: I just loved everything about the food experience here . We were greeted with such joy , food was created mindfully for those with dietry restriction’s , we left with happiness with full intentions of making the 1hour and 45 min drive again . Wonderful , thank you 💛

27/08/2025: Delicious food and good coffee and tea. Perfect for a quick stopover.

25/08/2025: I visited Roscommon and Boyle centres recently enquiring about trees and shrubs... all staff were friendly and helpful! A special mention to Horticultural advisor Margaret (Birmingham Lass) who took the time and patience to answer my questions. I would recommend a visit to Ardcarne!!

12/09/2025: We have been on holiday in the area for almost a week and this is by far the best meal we have had during our travels and we have had some great food. Absolutely delicious, if you haven’t tried the food here yet you must, if we were not going home tomorrow we would 💯 be back .

06/09/2025: Food is simply out of this world!! Would consider traveling here, staying in Keenan’s Hotel beside the restaurant for the night, eating at the Onion and heading home the following morning! Gorgeous location on the banks of the Shannon! Couldn’t recommend more highly!

04/08/2025: Excellent stay with a lovely warm welcome and chat at the bar with the Manager. Great breakfast. One of the best places we stayed in our travels around Ireland.

09/07/2025: Excellent stay. Would highly recommend. Michael (Manager) was very welcoming.

10/07/2025: So glad I booked this hotel for our short stay in Roscommon. Charming, efficient staff. Fabulous breakfast. Large airy room (with double & two single beds!), massive bathroom. Good shower. Very comfortable bed. Great view. Couldn't fault it. A family run enterprise, so different from sometimes soulless corporate places. Some décor perhaps a little old-fashioned, but I liked that - there was a homely feel. I wish we'd eaten in the restaurant as the pub food we had was a little disappointing.

10/07/2025: Had a two night stay midweek lovely spacious room air-conditioning was a plus very comfortable bed and a lovely breakfast friendly and professional staff would highly recommend this hotel.

13/09/2025: Another lovely dinner in the Friary. Staff are friendly and food is fabulous.

07/09/2025: Very good food and extremely friendly staff!

06/08/2025: Met up with friends for dinner at 7pm. August 25 two couples we ordered dinner at 7.10pm The starters arrived very fast We waited and waited for our main courses to arrive other people all served mains At 8.30pm we asked what the delay was the mains arrived at 8.40 my steak was cold and other dishes also cold I gave back my steak and they arrived back with another one about 10 minutes later no excuses I thought it very bad service and food not good

30/07/2025: We were very disappointed. We booked a table by the window in advance to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When we arrived, no one acknowledged the reservation – the bartender simply directed us to the pub area and we were seated randomly. So what’s the point of asking for a name and details when booking, if no one bothers to check or care? The food was also disappointing. The duck from the daily menu was tough, dry, and hard to chew – it tasted like reheated leftovers. Not once did anyone come over to ask if the food was okay or if we needed anything. The service was cold, and the staff showed no interest in the customer experience. For that reason, we didn’t leave a tip. We won’t be coming back, and we won’t recommend this place to anyone.

24/06/2025: Fabulous food and the staff are incredibly good at what they do.

07/05/2025: Outstanding decor. Small but perfect menu. On the expensive side, but highly recommended

13/09/2025: Great food and great value. Really cozy place with great service.

13/09/2025: We just had a lovely dinner here with 6 of us. It’s a tiny restaurant with a beautiful wooden bar (make reservations!!). The staff was wonderful, the food excellent, and the atmosphere endearing. If you’re in the Boyle area - eat here!

23/08/2025: Food is lovely .portions are very good and the waitresses are friendly and known the menu perfectly .

22/07/2025: Had a beautiful meal here last weekend. Food was delicious and the service was brilliant. Lovely staff, a pleasure to visit.

21/08/2025: Six friends met from different parts of the country for an overnight get-together,it was a fantastic hotel, spotlessly clean with super efficient friendly professional staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time, I would highly recommend Gleesons to anyone,we will definitely be back,well done all of you

18/08/2025: Very sad to see the quality of Gleesons continue to fall. This used to be the place I would happily bring visiting family and friends as the food was always good, staff very friendly and the restaurant/hotel was lovely. Recently Gleesons has lost itself. Increased prices, food quality has significantly dropped and the staff are not as accommodating as they used to be. Today a family came in and asked of they could be seated outside, but was told no due to staff shortages (5 waitresses on shift) Sadly this was followed by around 8 disabled youngsters and carers also being told they weren't allowed to be seated outside. On a personal note, I used to come in regularly for the coffee as it used to one of the nicest in town, now they have changed to a machine, same priced coffee, much poorer quality. Sad to say, but it's a place we won't be returning to. Such a pity to see the decline. Good luck to the Gleeson family all the same.

09/09/2025: The museum is definitely worth visiting. It contains a wealth of information about the Irish Famine and is very interesting,even think it's a very sad part f our history. There is a lovely café with a good menu. The grounds are lovely for a walk and there is a beautiful walled garden.

09/09/2025: Brilliant visit really lovely staff

20/07/2025: Quick and easy stop for food in Roscommon

09/06/2025: Real wholesome food. Real prices, worth a call

19/09/2025: I ordered a small lunch plate of bacon and cabbage, it was more than enough and very good.

05/09/2025: Small portions wouldn't fill you

18/09/2025: My first time, music was ok. Atmosphere wasn't the best. I wouldn't be in a hurry bk. I was down on hols

03/08/2025: Brilliant camper stop over €10 honesty box with fresh eggs & croissants delivered to your van in the morning. On top of this great traditional music, craic & Guinness beside the parking but far enough away for a quiet night.
