The best restaurants in Sligo

25/03/2025: The hotel was lovely. The staff were great, the room was nice and comfortable and warm. But the tv had only 1 in every 4 station was working.

25/06/2025: Great oysters. And glass of bubbles Would highly recommend

09/04/2025: I took a group on the private oyster farm tour in Strandhill yesterday. They had such an amazing time. Set in one of the most scenic parts of Ireland, Aisling was a wealth of knowledge about the fine art of oyster farming and provided the group with plenty of world-class yet locally sourced cuisine to sample. I'll definitely be recommending visitors to enjoy this one of a kind experience.

12/07/2025: Nice pub with a relaxed atmosphere. The steak sandwich with peppercorn sauce was particularly delicious. Recommended👍

07/07/2025: I think it’s absolutely genius to have a pub right in front of the station! Perfect for a quick stop before or after your train — so convenient and very Irish in the best way.

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.

02/07/2025: Lady making up my wrap was awesome, will definitely. be back

26/06/2025: Clean, very tasty food, friendly staff.

04/07/2025: Older staff are very rude, my friend and I went in for food and I ordered 2 sandwiches for myself and went to sit and wait , my friend then went to order a sandwich for herself and the older woman said “did that one not order one for you”, my friend said no I want to order, and from half way across the room the woman shouted “did you not order 2”, I said yes for myself, I shouldn’t have to go into a cafe worrying about people judging me for what I order I can order as much as I like if I’m paying for it so it would be nice for them to mind their own business and just make what their asked too. We were then waiting for our food to come and a different older staff member came over with our plates and put down the 3rd one and said “this one here for your friend that’s coming”, but we had no 3rd friend the 3rd plate was for me, so it would be nice to come into a cafe and not have people making assumptions and making us feel like it was illegal to order 2 sandwiches.

14/06/2025: O’Briens Sandwich Café is a solid choice when you want a quick, tasty bite without any fuss. I spent around €8 on a sandwich and a coffee — both fresh and satisfying. The sandwiches are well made with good fillings, perfect for grabbing on the go or a casual sit-down. The place has a bright, no-nonsense vibe, and the staff are friendly and efficient, keeping things moving smoothly. If you’re after something simple, reliable, and quick, O’Briens does the job nicely.

08/02/2025: First time arriving at this pub, never had a beverage before inside and was told to leave as "manager"said I had too many drinks and I did not have any alcohol before arriving in any other pub !manager was very rude !

16/07/2025: Great coffee in town with some delicious pastries and other meals. Really nice staff.

28/05/2025: A break in this very pleasant cafe, friendly welcome, delicious coffee!

17/06/2025: Busy spot, clean toilets and lots of parking.

17/06/2025: Great spot for a quick coffee and cookie

07/07/2025: I think it’s absolutely genius to have a pub right in front of the station! Perfect for a quick stop before or after your train — so convenient and very Irish in the best way.

26/04/2025: Lovely cream local ale beer and Guinness

21/05/2025: If you want to take a coffee break, this is the right place!

26/04/2025: A plenty of space to relax with latte

13/07/2025: Didn’t have a great experience in osta recently. Food was extremely disappointing. However the girl who served us was very nice and understanding

05/07/2025: I have been going to Osta for many years but I have to say recent experiences have been a huge disappointment. The vegetarian options for breakfast/brunch are very limited. The pancakes with almonds, yogurt and honey were a favourite but the new menu has replaced almonds with gritty flaxseeds that stick in your teeth. I recently ordered a breakfast without bacon - asking to sub it for 2 potato cakes instead. The waitress served my order with bacon and 2 extra potato cakes. English wasn't her first language and she had clearly misunderstood me. When I paid I had been charged for the additional potato cakes - and paid full price for breakfast with the bacon. I noticed on my receipt after I left. On my recent visit I ordered the vegan beans on toast and it was utterly bland, unseasoned and quite dry - a very unpleasant texture that was hard to digest and I left the rest of my meal uneaten. Certainly not worth €9 for some tinned beans and tomatoes on dry toast. The bathroom is one of the worst I've seen in a cafe in recent years . It is oddly orientated, feels grubby, you can hear the kitchen staff audibly. The last time I used it was this weekend and I was absolutely disgusted by the state of the toilet. The seat had been left up by the man who used the bathroom before me and the underside of the seat was completely stained yellow and brown by what looks like years worth of urine. It has totally put me off eating here if the owners can't even buy a new toilet seat, and certainly it seems that the bathroom has not received a deep clean for years. Staff shouldn't be expected to maintain clean subpar facilities. All that being said, the floor staff are to be commended, they are always very polite, helpful and efficient. I really hope that improvements to facilities are forthcoming, as it was one of my favourite cafes to go to on regular visits home.
