The best restaurants in Westmeath

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!

24/07/2025: Wandered into this gorgeous restaurant Tuesday this week. Before I even speak about the delicious food, I want to mention the service and the people. They were so attentive and professional, warm and kind. People make a place for me. Attention to detail has been lost in a lot of restaurants, but not this place! Everything on the menu was so appealing but we both ended up going for one of the specials of the day, the sirloin. The tastes, the sauces, the love put into the food was second to none! We had a pinot grigio and Argentinan Malbec to accompany them. My malbec was full bodied and bold, it went perfectly with my meat. We then had espresso martinis instead of desserts- again delicious! It was my mums first espresso martini and it didnt disappoint. My mother mentioned we were out celebrating and they brought down a complimentary dessert with Congratulations written on it- so kind and lovely. We were very impressed and will be back aome day

04/10/2025: Great food, lovely pub and good pints

26/08/2025: If I didnt give this place as many stars as possible I will be excumunicated! Simply the best!

28/09/2025: Great cafe in center of athlone. One of the best options for food with a large menu selection, friendly staff, dog friendly.

27/09/2025: Best burger ever. And the chips. Best in Ireland. Hand cut with the skins on.

27/08/2025: Absolutely delicious fresh breakfast menu. Very friendly atmosphere as well.

03/08/2025: Brunch time on a Friday! Place was very busy, but the staff did a great job keeping everyone attended. I had the small breakfast with a very nice coffee and the brown bread is DELICIOUS.

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.

17/08/2025: Lovely place, service top class, food really good.

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 😉

01/06/2025: Great pub, beautiful Guinness and massive crack at the Freewheelers MC Mayfly Party.

06/09/2025: Great customers especially Ger Lynch .

01/07/2025: Great bar landlord and staff are very friendly. Nice little pool to the back .

21/10/2025: Athlone town centre offers a mix of historic charm and modern shopping, with a strong emphasis on its location on the River Shannon. It is home to the 13th-century Athlone Castle and is a popular stop for tourists travelling between Dublin and Galway, who can enjoy pubs, restaurants, and boat hire on the river. For shopping, the Athlone Towncentre Shopping Centre is a major highlight, being the largest in the Midlands, with over 60 stores including popular brands like Zara, TK Maxx, and Marks & Spencer. The town is generally seen as clean and well-maintained, with a pedestrian-friendly area near the riverbanks.

22/09/2025: Big center jake n jones hit the spot for me

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 😒

19/07/2025: We were delighted with the quality of our dinners. Really tasty food. Steak was excellent. Good value. Lovely friendly staff.

13/10/2025: Very friendly staff. Great menu variety.

08/10/2025: The fish and chips were great, great atmosphere.

01/10/2025: Staffs really friendly, food was superb. Definitely come back again🥰

24/09/2025: It pains me to give only 3 stars as you would normally be guaranteed fantastic food at Red Earth. But our experience the last few occasions has been disappointing. The "signature" breakfast is no longer at the quality you'd expect for €18, and their Hangover Hash seems to have been cut back in size whilst still costing the same. Its not a cheap place, nor does it pretend to be - thats not the market its aimed at in fairness, but they need to step up their game again if we're to go back. Its always busy, there is a great buzz about the place, and the staff are brilliant. But the food has to be better.

30/06/2025: Me and my partner got a meal deal out of here earlier and my god it was beautiful! I've had dominos here years ago but was not nearly as nice as today, very impressed with my order the pizza was so nice, fresh and not greasy like other takeaways, wasn't keen on the loaded fries but still wasn't bad.. but the double chocolate caramel cookies my god they were just delicious will definitely be ordering from you again in the future! 10/10

16/06/2025: Wow just wow. I have never had such a WOW experience in such a fine dining establishment such as this one. I am truly wowed. 😱

13/09/2025: Amazing service and very friendly atmosphere, it’s halal

20/08/2025: We are on a road trip around Ireland and this was one of our favorite meals during our two week journey. The food was so delicious, it is clear that it is made with the highest quality ingredients. You can really taste the love and expertise that goes into making each dish. The service was also wonderful, we can’t wait for our next visit to Ireland so we can eat here again, I can’t recommend this restaurant enough!
