The best restaurants in Sligo

02/10/2025: This pub was born from the merger of the local bar and the shop. Its decor features quite old artifacts, no wonder, since it opened in 1780. We received exquisite treatment from everyone (owner and staff), and while we enjoyed a pint of Guinness, they told us about the history of the establishment.

21/09/2025: Welcomed by waiter, Paul, awesome guy there. Very authentic, old pub in the heart of Sligo. Very good vibe with lots of history. He showed us very old bottles and equipement too. Highly recommended!

17/10/2025: Nice american restaurant with AMAZING BURGERS.... it was really very delicious.. I can eat this every day... very very good.. personal were very friendly always with smile...its very busy perfect place for tasty food...

11/10/2025: Fast service, good service, quick preparation, super delicious food! If you like good burgers, whether regular or veggie, you should stop by here.

10/10/2025: Shells is always our favorite spot in the Strand. We haven't been for a while since we moved to the SouthEast and they've done it up since last, but still the same great feel. Bustling on a Thursday afternoon, jammed lunchtime, which is a credit to any place these days. This was a ' for old time's sakes ' visit and still felt just as good as the memories.

10/10/2025: The music was way to loud and the pork sandwich had more fat in it than pork. So very expensive for that..but if the music was lowered down it would be more ideal

18/10/2025: Great quality food prepared in house. Staff were super friendly and professional. A little gem of a place

19/09/2025: Delicious apple custard tart. And dog friendly

04/11/2025: A class wee café! Always stop into The Little Cottage Café when I’m up visiting the family on the line in Upper Rosses Point. It’s the kind of place that just feels right — friendly faces, bit of chat, and you can’t beat the smell of the coffee when you walk in. The scones are unreal, proper homemade, and the breakfasts hit the spot every time. You can sit out and catch the sea breeze or stay inside where it’s warm and cosy. A lovely local spot run by good people — long may it last!

29/08/2025: A very cozy place for lunch , variety of options and super filling .

24/09/2025: Thankfully they were open on a Monday evening, the food was good, priced a little high but we're grateful they're open for business. The staff was very helpful, despite being quite busy.

23/09/2025: Beautiful view and the food was excellent.

09/07/2025: Lyons cafe ......as good it gets, tasty, reliable, reasonably priced. Great staff, great buzz highly recommended! We especially enjoyed the chicken, leek and bacon pie followed by the pear and almond dessert, simply sublime!

21/06/2025: This place does not disappoint. We've been here a couple of times the food has been 10/10 with each dish ordered; from soup to salad, dish of the day to vegetarian option. The only problem with visiting Sligo is there are so many tasty eateries to choose from. But do try to check this place out.

18/07/2025: We had just amazing pizza, lovely crispy and thin bread and fresh, smells like fantastic food 🥰😇

03/07/2025: I recently tried this food truck and was completely blown away by their wood-fired pizza. The crust was perfectly crisp with that amazing smoky flavor you can only get from a real wood fire oven. Every bite was fresh, hot, and packed with delicious toppings. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into making each pizza. The staff were super friendly and made the experience even better. If you’re a pizza lover, you have to check this place out. Easily one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, food truck or not. Highly recommend!

27/10/2025: Thanks to Avril and all the staff at The Embassy for a really enjoyable evening. Great service, food and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend for any occasion, we’ll definitely be back!

18/10/2025: Good food with a friendly atmosphere but overpriced

24/08/2025: I don’t know the area but if you’re after filter coffee in Sligo, go here. Perfect brew.

19/08/2025: Awesome 👌 Fitout + the coffee is right up there. Kidz says the Fruitshoot is top notch also 🤪

21/10/2025: We had a great late lunch here. Wish they either had smaller portion plates or allowed sharing.

19/10/2025: A beautiful restaurants and the food was deliciou. Staff were so friendly abd helpful

02/10/2025: Amazing and friendly staff and beautiful rooms. The food was also fantastic! ❤️

30/08/2025: There I was planning to fly out of Ireland West Knock airport on an early Sunday morning flight and just wasn’t feeling like getting up at half-past-very-early to do the long two-hour drive from home to get there. So, I started looking for a place to stay within punching distance or even a short drive to the airport. I wanted to stay away from the formulaic sterility and coldness of a chain hotel and stumbled upon this absolute jewel in county Sligo, a mere 15-minute drive from the airport. Cawley’s has a wonderful blend of old-style charm, class and relaxing vibes right in the heart of Tubbercurry. Despite first appearances, it delightfully stays away from any pretentious notions, and not only does it have favourable room rates but has a very honest and wonderfully welcoming bar and restaurant with very accommodating, natural and friendly staff. From the menu, this reviewer went for the striploin steak with all the trimmings washed down with a nice Chilean Chiraz, followed by the traditional sherry trifle and ice cream. From modest-sized weddings, to solo travellers just looking for a bed, hot shower, strong wifi and a good meal for the night, to the small dinner parties, Cawley’s is truly a chameleon of options establishment that accommodates the full spectrum of travellers, diners and event celebration needs. The very charming and conversational barman Matthew even accommodated my request for a Calimocho (simply red wine and coke) without as much as a flinch, oh and be sure to connect with Teresa, part of the Cawley family, at front of house. You won’t be disappointed with Cawley’s, now 60 years in business and still going strong.

28/09/2025: Lovely food great staff.. bang on..

28/09/2025: Absolutely perfect stay! The location is fantastic, and the restaurant was the real highlight — I had one of the best burgers I’ve enjoyed in a long time. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

19/08/2025: Had dinner here last friday night with my husband,booking is recommended,very busy spot.food was very nice,service was fast and friendly,the atmosphere is lively,and the cocktails are yummie.would definitely return here

18/08/2025: Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our visit to the restaurant. Very high prices for small dishes without any seasoning. The burger was unfortunately very dry and not particularly well-prepared. It's a nice place to sit outside, but the music was a bit loud.

04/10/2025: Had food and pints here a couple of times now and can't complain. Great food, excellent service and staff. Definitely worth a visit

03/10/2025: Great family run business and polite staff and lovely food and handy little shop to pick up shopping and a very large car park it's conviently situated in the Castle Connor area on the Ballina to Sligo Road 👍
