The best restaurants in Westmeath

26/11/2025: We had a wonderful evening at Fatted Calf. The ambiance was beautiful, and lovely background music played softly. The welcome was warm and inviting. The service was attentive, humorous, and never intrusive! The food was divine! The combination of the appetizer with the black pudding croquettes, the scallops, and the various sauces was an explosion of flavor! Thank you! For the main course, the meat was tender and juicy with a delicious chimichurri sauce. Wonderful! The desserts were simply amazing! Our restaurant visit was the highlight of our time here in Athlone!

24/08/2025: Robert is an exceptional waiter — truly a machine! His service was outstanding, and he treated us with great professionalism and kindness. Highly recommended!

10/11/2025: Don't eat here! A recent meal of beef burger and bangers & mash had spoiled / smelly meat. When told about the issue, the manager was less than helpful and made the situation worse with his attitude.

08/11/2025: Excellent venison stew with Guinness. Fish and chips were okay. Authentic atmosphere. I recommend a visit.

14/06/2025: This is a cracking place. I visited twice and tried a couple of different breakfasts. Generous portions, excellent cooking and attentive service. I'll be back the next time I'm passing through the town.

07/06/2025: The best restaurant in Kinnegad. Real Irish food and a family restaurant vibe. A place where you can meet the town and fill your belly. Portions usually are generous and I really love their version of the Irish stew. I hope they'll open the back patio again this summer.

12/11/2025: We spent the night in Athlone on a whim and stumbled upon Roots. We had a wonderful evening with incredibly delicious food, good drinks and very friendly service. If we ever find ourselves back in Ireland and Athlone, we will definitely be back!

10/11/2025: It's not big, the food is hot and tasty. The prices are reasonable. But we didn't feel comfortable there, like in many other restaurants in Ireland.

07/12/2025: Food here was exceptional, pint of Guinness at 5.40 was excellent. Staff were friendly but efficient.

06/12/2025: One of the best places in Athlone; you know you’re always going to get delicious food, drinks and with great service! The setting itself is brilliant- quaint pub vibes- and live music just adds to it! Get the curry cheese chips with any main 👌🏻🥰

20/09/2025: Wonderful restaurant, accommodated our large group at short notice and couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Food was fresh and delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit everyone in our group. Staff were warm and friendly. Highly recommended!

17/09/2025: A great little Restaurant, After many passes we finally made the decision to get there for dinner. No reservations was needed during the week but based on size and even popularity on a Wednesday evening you better book your table in advanced for the weekend. We are a family of 4, more or less all adults. We enjoyed the warm and cold starter combos followed by the vegetable tagine, a lamb shawarma and a chicken dish. It was more then plenty for 4 people and all available to share. The food was fresh, well seasoned and just great taste. We definitely will be back, however have said this, it is a bit on the price side. So not necessarily your weekly treat but you don't feel overcharged for the quality of food.

20/11/2025: Brilliant dining experience!! Will definitely come again soon. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

20/11/2025: Spice India Athlone turned out to be a good culinary experiences. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and the comforting aroma of coconut, curry leaves, and freshly ground spices—the unmistakable essence of Kerala cuisine. Each dish tasted fresh, well-balanced, and authentically prepared. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance—warm lighting, traditional décor, and soft background music—created a cozy and cultural dining atmosphere. Overall, this Indian restaurant perfectly captures the heart of Kerala’s food culture: simple, flavorful, and soulful. Highly recommended for anyone who loves traditional South Indian food or wants to explore something new and deeply satisfying.

12/11/2025: Really good food and service. Government guidelines well adhered to. Would highly recommend.

11/08/2025: Went here on the recommendation of a friend, I ordered Chicken supreme with champ, my wife got chicken curry, I got the smallest chicken breast I have ever seen and the bed of champ wasn't that large either and was just Luke warm. I said to the water, but nothing was done about it. My wife asked for Garlic bread instead of the pitta bread,And when we got the bill we were charged €2 extra. We will not be returning 😒

04/12/2025: I ordered a Veg Biryani for takeaway and received it in no time. As for the food — both the quality and quantity were outstanding. I’ve never had such a good biryani in Ireland before, where quality and quantity come together so perfectly. ( Veg Biriyani🙂)

01/11/2025: Enjoyed good food late at night 11pm.

15/03/2025: One of the best places to eat in this beautiful town!!

19/07/2025: Our B&B host recommended this place to us, and we were very happy we went there. It was very busy, but the staff worked hard and we got served quite quickly. The food was great, as was the atmosphere. Plus, as always outside of Dublin, we were nicely surprised by the prices 😉
