The best restaurants in Sligo

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”!

11/05/2026: If you are ever in Sligo, dine here. Its friendly, great service and great food.

08/05/2026: I love visiting the Harp Tavern for food & a few drinks. Really friendly atmosphere, the food is amazing and the service is always top notch. Ann in particular, always goes the extra mile for the customers and always makes you feel at home. Would highly recommend.

13/05/2026: Great atmosphere, met family for drinks, fab location and parking underneath

07/05/2026: Very friendly barman who made me a couple of great cocktails, adjusted to my taste.

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.

16/05/2026: Was excited about the thought of coming here do booked on our way to Sligo. Was really disappointed in the menu choices that had mismatched flavours and seemed gimmicky. The fish was relatively tasteless especially combined with a strongly flavoured capsicum, saffron and tomato risotto. Have tasted far better seafood in other coastal places in Ireland. The balance of what was used in their menu lacked the skills if good cuisine. The desert was hilarious but also flavourless. All in all this was a gourmet disappointment that was expensive and not worth it. Be warned! The staff also seemed disinterested in their work. Head to Doolin if you want fresh and interesting local cuisine.

05/05/2026: I really wanted to love Eala Bhán — the presentation is genuinely beautiful and clearly takes effort. Every plate looks like a piece of art. But beyond the visuals, the experience just didn’t deliver. The “Wild Atlantic Way” starter (€18.95) was essentially one fish ball, one scallop, and one langoustine. Portion-wise, it felt more like a tasting bite than a starter — and taste-wise it was only okay, nothing memorable. The main (“Boat Comes In” €39.95) was even more disappointing: two tiny pieces of fish in a seaside town, with a small portion of rice that was heavily over-sauced. For €40, both the quantity and quality felt off. For comparison, the fish and chips at The Harp Tavern nearby were far more satisfying, more flavourful, and costed €16. Overall: visually impressive, but the food itself was just fair and the portions/pricing feel completely out of balance.

16/01/2026: Beautiful food, friendly staff and very nice atmosphere in the restaurant. A very enjoyable, personable experience. Would recommend to a friend!

15/01/2026: Amazing food and great staff, all for a good price. The beef and pasta dishes are great.

20/11/2025: Great place to meet, enjoy a good session and enjoy a Pint

19/11/2025: For an American this is a classic. Epic music. Good drams. Good chat.

02/05/2026: Delicious vegan dinner for two, large main portions and freshly cooked. Tofu was excellent; we had Japanese teriyaki tofu with boiled rice and tofu massaman curry with fried rice. The accompaniments could be customised and mixed. Excellent service and the waitress handled the peanut allergy very well. Would recommend! Thanks all!

23/04/2026: We had our lunch here and ordered this salad with duck. Super love it. Not so heavy meal and perfect for my taste. I highly recommend. The ambiance is good. Not noisy, toilet clean and friendly staff. Price is affordable.

10/05/2026: Excellent hotel - friendly staff, quality food, very comfortable rooms

04/04/2026: 5 Star experience. Staff are amazing and so friendly. I have a 3 and 2 year old and we are away for Easter break. They received a goodie bag on arrival with chocolates and colouring activities for Easter. They have movies every night and a float in the swimming pool. Jay in the pool was brilliant with the kids. Thanks to Ann who gave the kids an Easter egg and made them feel at home. Mammy Johnsons ice cream stand pop up available everyday during our break a real extra treat. Breakfast was gorgeous and again the staff are wonderful and accommodating. Very little they haven't thought off. All these extras were free of charge at no extra cost which was fantastic and much appreciated. Location is perfect for trip to beach with strandhill only 10 minute drive We will be back 💯

21/05/2026: A decent restaurant on the heart of Sligo near the river offering a good view while eating.

15/05/2026: An excellent stop for a bite. Whether it be lunch or dinner. This place was great! Fully accommodated me as a Celiac. And one of the few places that has gluten free fish and chips. And it was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant to any and all who enjoy a good mix of Asian, Mediterranean and pub fare. The cooks know what they’re doing here.

01/04/2026: Amazing food and service. Every staff member is a credit to themselves and this fast food restaurant. We visited Tuesday and were made aware of the Tues/We deal of a main side and shake for €10!!Our server was such a lovely person and took good care of us. We visited with my elderly parents and she was so kind and went out of her way to take her time when taking their order. My dad ordered a coffee to go with his meal and before we even mentioned he might need water, she had offered. All our orders had to be altered due to different dietary needs and the food was amazing, so fresh too. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures. Will definitely be back.

05/03/2026: Wouldn`t be a great fan of diners and fast food,but I have to say,a really pleasant experience was had here,Tuesday 03/03/26. Same guy took our order,served us and took payment,and credit to him,he was really friendly and cheerful and smiling all through our visit. We got 2 totally different meals,both of which were great,hot,and tasty. The E10 deal is very good value in our opinion. We will be back next time we`re in Sligo. Continued success to all concerned. Continued success.

11/05/2026: After a flight from NYC and drive from Dublin while exploring Sligo we happened into Donaghy's bar. We were meet by Andy who sat us for an early dinner. We started out with a delicious cocktail & a Guinness. We ate in the bar area starting with their homemade loaf that was really good. Seafood chowder and an order of bruschetta was next. Our mains were beef guinness stew & fisherman pie. Everything was delicious. Andy took his time to welcome us to Sligo before moving on to the Coach Lane to prepare for the dinner crowd. If you are ever in Sligo this place is a must. They have been in business over 30 years.

07/05/2026: Ordered a had two steaks, both overcooked

06/05/2026: I like the food and the staff are quick and lovely. But the atmosphere is a little less appealing. It's separated into little areas and no background music with bright lights, so it's not a very pleasant environment to eat in. Particularly the small room at the front is just really quiet, I always find myself whispering to not automatically have a conversation with the whole room. The side nooks are a bit better. I think some background music and better lighting would already make a big difference in terms of atmosphere.

05/05/2026: This is a quirky pup to enjoy a pint and some food. Good Guinness and gorgeous Oysters with one of the nicest dressings. The food service staff were superb and really looked after us, the 2 lads at the bar however serving pints could do with learning to smile and having a bit of craic. I’ll defiantly be back for Oysters here.

06/01/2026: Lovely coffee ☕️ Very small cafe but great coffee and small choice of sandwiches but they are also very good. Some nice cakes too.

14/12/2025: My favourite place in town for coffee and a sandwich. It’s perfect for a quick grab-and-go, and the coffee is amazing. It’s become my regular spot and is now part of my daily routine.

20/03/2026: Perhaps I was expecting too much. Made reservations for last Sunday night. We were both disappointed with our dinner. We ordered a glass of Merlot and a glass of prosecco and the merlot was fine but the prosecco was brought to the table in a small bottle and left there without opening or pouring it into a glass. I ordered the T Bone which was the thinnest cut of steak I have ever seen. I ordered it medium rare but it was such a thin cut that it was well done. My wife ordered the fillet steak and it was dry and over cooked. Dessert was fine and the service was good. Beautiful rooms but unfortunately not worth the price.

21/12/2025: Absolutely fabulous,,, food, service, and staff
