The best restaurants in Sligo

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.

25/06/2025: Great space on O’Connell street with loads of seating. Coffee is great and good atmosphere but I have to give credit to the two baristas Lena and Deirdre who always have a smile on their face despite often busy times. They both always have a enthusiastic welcome for all customers alike and I’ve personally seen them dealing with challenging customers very professionally. A credit to the hospitality industry , well done ladies, keep up the great work 😃🫶🏼🙏

15/06/2025: I completely honestly haven’t ever had a good coffee in Ireland (or the Uk) but we had a quick stop in Sligo to use the loo and grab a coffee, and it was the best coffee i’ve ever had out of Australia. I’m a barista myself and an avid coffee drinking, so i’m a little bit picky. Mo (short for a much longer name i can’t remember) made such a lovely cappuccino for me, and Lucas, who served us, was very friendly as well. Unfortunately, as i was rushing out to make it to my bus, I split my packet of blueberries on the floor and they went everywhere. I would’ve helped clean them up if I wasn’t getting dangerously close to missing my bus, but the two assured me that it was okay to run off. Thank you to the two of you, you were lovely and I wish you the best in life!

03/10/2025: The food is good quality and it is nice but I have had 3 dishes from here - korma, butter chicken and tikka masala and they all taste pretty much the same. All the dishes are incredibly sweet and I can't understand how a butter chicken and tikka masala can have the same colour and taste as a korma. The only difference is the korma had a slight coconut flavour compared to the others.

24/09/2025: Nice range of menu options, aimed at local pallets. Quality food at a good price

24/11/2025: Very good function room. Bar staff were excellent at their job and also brilliant craic

21/11/2025: Great student bar in my I.T sligo days ha

11/08/2025: Nice pub and food but the owner seems like the most bitter man. If you don’t like serving customers don’t own a bar. After an afternoon of good food and a really nice server, boyfriend and I got up to pay and had the owner roll his eyes in our face when we asked to split the bill. No chat out of him just pure annoyance. Would be rating it lower if not for the kind bartender woman who was serving us before this. Fine establishment as long as you avoid the owner.

26/07/2025: Interesting interior there are cocktails (great spicy Margarita), tasty food, huge portions. All good 👍🏻 Thanks

10/05/2025: Food was simple and really good, exactly what I was looking for, kinder bueno milk shake with an shot of coffee was amazing, customer service friendly, extra points for the omelette, delicious 😀.

17/04/2025: Cute little cafe right across from the church. We only tried brownie and scones. But the card offers much more. As already written in other reviews, going to the 1st floor is worth it. Sitting there is a little quieter and has a nice view.

06/09/2025: This is an amazing place the staff so kind the meal deals are always amazing one of my favorite fast food restaurants ever you will be amazed

21/07/2025: Didn’t have the one miserable vegetarian option they offer (the patty)….get in the fake meatball marinara or chicken tikka, the veg patty is a miserable option.

07/12/2025: Great Xmas menu Staff are fantastic

01/11/2025: The service at the bottom bar was awful 2 ladies were incredibly rude and weren't caring about the people at all and were talking very louding about how everyone was annoying them and even when i should my valid passport and my friend another valid Polish passport said it wasn't us and didn't give a chance for us to explain and got pissed at us and exaggerated her annoyance straight to our face people up stairs were nicer and kinder bit the 2 ladies downstairs on Halloween were terrible image for the pub and because of there attuide probably never come back to the pub if that's the service we get.

02/12/2025: Love the vibes here & they pour a great pint. So handy for a stop off before the train or on the way into town.

22/11/2025: Have had food many times here absolutely beautiful, Today I called in for a coffee and it was 5☆

25/10/2025: Staff are lovely. However food was disappointing, veggie sandwich which had a laughable amount inside, considering the high price, told staff and sandwich returned still ridiculous small amount of filling. The wait for the food took ages before this even occured so I just ate it when it came back out, unsatisfied after meal. No side salad or anything with small sandwich.

10/10/2025: Lovely friendly staff but every time Ive been in they have forgotten my order. Very frustrating.

01/09/2025: They had a tuna wrap, not a fan of wraps but of tuna but the barista made the sandwich for me. It was a flavourful tuna sandwich with a few chillies and red onions. A sandwich and a flat cost under 10 which is a rarity anywhere in Ireland at the moment! Add to it good views and a nice setting.

30/08/2025: If you're feeling down, sad, or depressed... I definitely recommend going to this place for a coffee. Great music, attentive service, and the greatest willingness to help! I'm grateful to the Colombian friend who helped me that day... I wasn't having a good day, and he encouraged me to keep going, not worry, and enjoy a good sandwich and soup. I recommend drinking mate in the morning, and the ham/cheese sandwich was delicious. I would definitely go back, and I recommend stopping by this place to anyone who wants to start their morning with good energy.

03/10/2025: Lovely Staff, and amazing atmosphere

23/09/2025: Cater for celiac ( gluten free ) which means alot. To staff thank you very much 😊.

22/11/2025: Very popular place, some refurbishments at the moment, truck stop too

20/11/2025: They were in refurb state. But the sweet and sour was great!

25/08/2025: The best pub in Ballymote. The Guinness is amazing, better than what we got living in Dublin! All our Dublin friends and family agree. A beautiful wooden interior with a wonderful fireplace that really adds to the atmosphere. And the staff are superb and so friendly.

19/10/2025: Fab venue overlooking the Garavogue river. Very pricey for what it is.

22/09/2025: Nice location on the river but I was sitting there for 30 minutes (!) completely ignored by waiters serving others. Ordered nothing, went to another cafe.
