The best restaurants in Sligo

07/06/2026: One of the best tapas I've had. Highly recommend it. Well worth a visit. Food was so fresh and full of flavour. Great views of the sea from the balcony.

04/06/2026: Had an amazing meal here tonight. Not my first time either. Every time I’ve visited I’ve left both full and impressed! Delicious food with lovely accompanying sauces and garnish. Desserts are top notch too. Service excellent 😊

01/07/2026: Nice place, lovely views from the dinning area. Foods nice, friendly staff. Would recommend.

15/06/2026: Great food and drink and Laura behind the bar is great craic .

11/06/2026: Small space for the numbers but lovely, extremely busy

07/06/2026: Shells Cafe is an absolute gem on Strandhill beach. It’s facing the ocean. Food is amazing and super tasty. Very very busy place so be ready for the queue. Again it’s busy for a reason. It does kill the atmosphere sometime when you see crying kids and people on top of each other. lol. Everything they serve is outstanding tho so it’s worth it. They are very famous for their TREACLE Bread, always get sold within 1 hour😁 I even ask for their bread recipe and they did give it to me 😂 Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

17/05/2026: Literally one of the best burgers I've ever had. The staff where incredible, super fast service, super friendly.

07/05/2026: Although not labelled on their menu; most of the burgers can be made gluten free and the fries/chips are gluten free too! Maybe in the top 3 best burgers I’ve ever had. It was all balanced so well. They also had a GF IPA so celiacs are welcome here! The staff all seem like they’re great friends and the manager Paddy is a really nice fella who clearly cares about people’s experience. The only negative part of my experience was at the end of my meal realizing that I won’t be able to eat here again until my next trip to Ireland. My partner has a normal stomach and also LOVED her meal! You guys earned a loyal Canadian customer today, you have my deepest gratitude for just “doing it right”!

01/07/2026: What a brilliant traditional Irish pub! Popped in to watch the World Cup match and had a fantastic time — great atmosphere, 3 screens, and a perfect pint. Huge bonus: extremely dog-friendly with my pup welcomed inside without any hassle. The staff were excellent — friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Authentic vibe, and proper Irish hospitality. Will definitely make a point of visiting again someday. Highly recommend!

30/06/2026: Great bar, stopped here for a pint tuned into several and a whisky tasting platter, very highly recommend

24/05/2026: Very nice Aussie inspired pub in Sligo. Drinks spot on and the food is fantastic pub excellence. Great to get you drinking more.

24/05/2026: Lovely staff. Very friendly and attentive.

19/05/2026: A lovely pub with good food, friendly staff. The Guiness is very good too

18/05/2026: I brought a group of 15 women from Canada, and we had such a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the service was warm and welcoming, and our whole group had such a great time together. And the fire was absolute perfection, especially after a cold hike up Knocknarea. 🔥 Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, we will definitely be back! ❤️

24/05/2026: We had originally been looking for a nice place to eat on occasion in Sligo and had missed this place as it happens. Other places were quite disappointing service and food wise, however Molly Fultons is a clear exception. The team at the restaurant are very good, pleasant and professional but do a fantastic job with everything service wise. We have dined in the Bar also, which was very good with no major difference bar a cozy pub atmosphere. Everything here is on point, I have had the habit to go for the same thing over a period of months and was not once disappointed, now opting for other menu options nothing changed as the quality and excellence is present everywhere on their menu. I can highly recommend this place for families and even smaller groups, though it is vital to book in advance when possible as they are popular locally. Managers here are very kind and always so polite and chatty which makes the whole experience even better. Usually see them out on the floor working hard with their team which is a sign of good leadership anywhere. 10/10 will be back many times in the future.

12/05/2026: A Lovely Restaurant just outside of Sligo. The Breakfast is great value, and the Dinners are delicious. Very well priced and the staff are excellent.

15/06/2026: This restaurant is fantastic. The food is the best authentic Korean that I have had in Ireland. Also the toilets are possibly the cleanest I've maybe ever been in which is a great sign . We had the carnival dish which is a.smorgas board of mixed sushi and salad . That plus a bowl of kimchi was enough for us both . I watched the front of house interaction with customers and I am certain she is a very very nice person and does a great job it was good to see . We cannot wait to go back there.

15/06/2026: Haven't seen such friendly staff for a good while. Food was delicious. Hidden gem 💎 in the middle of town. Definitely coming back to try more foods, and honestly advising to give it a try for anyone, even kids. Top spot not only in Sligo, but also in whole Ireland.

14/07/2026: I always try and stop here if im heading to Donegal or Derry..the food is fabulous..don't think you'll be disappointed.. Staff are great..efficient, polite and very helpful..Beautiful location, plenty of parking.. Definitely worth stopping if your in the area..

13/07/2026: Great food and the best gluten-free pizza I've had in Ireland. Service was on the slightly slow side but I suppose it's a busy place. The waiting staff were great as well.

14/06/2026: I am not usually one to complain and honestly, i wish I had said something while I was there. At the time I decided to let it go, but after thinking about it we’re disappointed with our experience. We were visiting Sligo on a short trip and were really hungry and excited to try the food. I ordered the Ghanaian groundnut chicken soup with fufu and as someone who is half Ghanaian, I was shocked by what was served. The chicken was cold cooked packet chicken out of a fridge from Aldi etc! The portion was also very small. The fufu was placed directly into the bowl with the soup poured over it and the slices of cold chicken on top, so I couldn’t eat it properly with my hands as is traditional. The whole dish felt very processed and lacked authenticity. Serving an African dish in this way felt lazy, no fresh chicken or juices from the chicken, just cold packet chicken! The soup itself was bland and the portion of fufu was tiny. I don’t think this necessarily reflects the entire restaurant, as I can imagine some of the other dishes may be much better. My partner ordered the jerk chicken with jollof rice. He really enjoyed the jerk chicken, but felt that the jollof tasted reheated rather than freshly prepared. Portion as also really small. The portion sizes did not justify the prices charged. Our server was very kind and friendly! which helped make the experience more pleasant. She let us know that the chicken would be about a 20 minute wait because it had just gone into the oven and we appreciated her telling us and we let her know that’s ok. However the food ended up taking much longer than expected, around 35/40 minutes wait. Overall, we left feeling really disappointed and still hungry. We had been looking forward to the meal based on the reviews, but unfortunately the food did not live up to our expectations.

09/06/2026: Delicious food and lovely service. We highly recommend this place!

08/07/2026: Such delicious food and great price value

14/06/2026: Really tasty burgers - fresh and hot served.

11/06/2026: Lovely and very friendly place, staff always very helpful and helpful

06/06/2026: Stayed for a wedding, had a very pleasant time. The views are beautiful and the reception for the wedding was delightful. The rooms are very comfortable and the voya spa products in the bathroom and give a luxury feel. Anything we needed the staff were very hospitable. the breakfast option for gluten free wasn’t great and unfortunately there was contamination with a hair in my mushrooms.

01/07/2026: Excellent fish and chips! Highly recommended with a beautiful ocean view. Dinner until late.

26/06/2026: Great pints and first class chicken wings. Barman very friendly and very helpful.

13/06/2026: 1st time here, party of 4, couldn't get better.

06/06/2026: Lovely place to get a nice coffee and breakfast / brunch. The inside was quite busy, warm and smoky but we sat outside and it was lovely there. Service was prompt and we enjoyed our food and coffee
