The best restaurants in Athlone

21/02/2025: The sweetest place in Athlone. Exceptional coffee, great food, greater treats, and the greatest hosts.

18/02/2025: I’m heartbroken to be saying goodbye to Fine. For more than 5 years, I've worked just a few steps from this place and throughout the years it has felt like more than just a coffee shop to me. The coffee? The best in town as said by many. The food? Delicious and comforting. The vibes? exquisite and cosy. But what truly made Fine special was the people. Ciaran,Laura, Axel, Laoise, Gary, Claire, Sinead, Emily, Shane and many other lovely staff members not only kept me well-fed but also have provided a warm, welcoming space where I’ve started my mornings, taken many many breaks, vented, laughed, ended my day, the team who knew to be reaching for the teabags and oat milk before I was in the door and who always greeted me and said goodbye with a smile, and made every visit feel like home. It’s hard to imagine my routine without this place, and I know I’m not alone in saying that Fine will be deeply missed. Thank you for everything—you’ve created something truly special, and I wish you all the best in your next chapter. ❤️

04/05/2025: The food was really delicious and of good quality. The service was great. We tried the onion bhaji, masala fries, chicken tikka masala, vegetable vindaloo, and chicken curry. Never had such tasty onion bhaji even in India! I highly recommend this restaurant for Indian food!

28/04/2025: Best food in Athlone, highly recommended

24/06/2024: You know those days when you really fancy some fish and chips? I had to scratch that itch and I really wanted to treat myself. Without naming names I went to a couple of takeaways beforehand and they didn't have fish on the menu, but Mister Pizza saved the day. I thought that their fish and chips was good value at €10 as you get two whole fillets of fish plus a generous portion of thick cut chips. The fish batter was nice and crunchy and the chips were perfectly cooked. I only had to wait about 10 minutes and everything was cooked fresh. I even shared a small bit of the fish with my dog when I got home and he appreciated it!

25/05/2024: Good quality food and good prices

30/05/2025: I had a really delicious breakfast of French toast with bacon, real Maple syrup and two fruits. It was so light and freshly cooked, beautifully presented and so tasty. I felt very satisfied together with a flat white I was set up for the day. Congrats on keeping your standards high. Geraldine it’s lovely when you are there but your staff are also efficient and friendly. Poppyfields is a gem to have in Athlone. I would recommend breakfast here for sure.

15/05/2025: Great personnel, good rooms and amazing gluten free breakfast

17/03/2025: Great hotel, really professional staff and very clean. Great food in the bar. Excellent chef! Unfortunately , we stayed beside room 228 on 16 March and witnessed a terrible episode, audible from room 230 coming from 228 next door. A man verbally abusing his partner in the early hours - her voice barely audible but his was loud and vis clous, intimidating and frightening. WW hope this woman reads this and gets away from him. We wonder what she faces at home if he behaves like that in a lovely quiet hotel on a bank holiday weekend with no regard for anyone else. They left early without checking out at the desk, so there was nothing we could do.
