The best restaurants in Athlone

30/12/2025: Lovely home made authetic lasagna and accompanying glass of red- would eat here again and recommend for quick and tasty lunch.

29/12/2025: Very nice and friendly family owned cafe with great homemade food, highly recommended!

21/02/2026: Staff were lovely, really good ambiance in the restaurant. We chose the empanadas as a starter, they were incredibly fresh with fragrant and well seasoned meat inside. As a main we chose the shared ribeye which genuinely ended up being the most mouth-watering steak we had ever tasted. It was overwhelmingly flavourful, with 3 dipping choices. We additionally got the salad, fries and onion rings. Each dish was well presented and tasted divine. Recommend this place full heartedly. Best steak in Athlone !!

15/02/2026: Starters & dessert poor Steak beautiful but very pricey

14/02/2026: The oldest pub in Ireland , I couldn't tasted the food but I tasted a delicious Guinness, Cozy place and very nice atmosphere 👌

14/02/2026: Historical Sean’s Bar is an unforgettable experience. Knowing it’s considered one of the oldest pubs in the world makes it even more special. The traditional interior, warm atmosphere, and welcoming staff make you feel right at home. Great selection of whiskey and beer. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Athlone!

01/02/2026: A very positive experience from start to finish.

11/01/2026: We went for early dinner on a Sunday evening and the food was delicious. Shared the Neug Tord and chicken satay for starters and I had the Khao Soi for main. Massaman curries for the others. We were absolutely full to the brim after it. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive all the way.

28/10/2025: Nice place, nice food, nice staff

21/10/2025: Great food, pricey drinks though.

30/12/2025: I visited this place on 29th December at around 3:15 pm intending to order the day’s special sandwich, but my experience was very disappointing. Instead of preparing it fresh, I saw the staff member take the sandwich straight from the refrigerator. I don’t understand how a “day’s special” can be sold from a fridge rather than being freshly made. On top of that, the girl behind the counter was using the same gloves to touch her phone, handle other items, and then serve food without changing them. This is extremely unhygienic and unacceptable in a food service environment. Due to the poor hygiene practices maintained by the food handler, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this place to others. After seeing this I couldn’t even eat the wraps that I order and had to dump. Unfortunately 17 euros that I spent there went straight to trash

30/12/2025: Nice place to visit. Large portions and delicious food.

30/12/2025: Really, this is one of the best Italian restaurants for miles. The food is incredible. The service is too class, no matter how busy they get, the service doesn't do of.... top marks all around, the staff are always friendly and humorous at times....

13/12/2025: We arrived (6persons) completely unprepared and without a booking. The floor manager greeted us so warmly and was able to accommodate us, despite being in under pressure in a full house of Christmas groups. Couldn't believe our luck, as it was our brothers birthday. Food was perfect and came out so fast. Great price and no fuss what so ever. They even surprised my brother with ice cream, a candle and sang him happy birthday, completely unexpected and so appreciated. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a wholesome and relaxed meal with lovely service. Will be going out of my way to go backsoon.... (I'll be sure to book ahead from now on)

26/11/2025: Amazing food, amazing prices, service and atmosphere. It's our new stop for future road trips to Galway breakfast stop. Delicious.
