The best restaurants in Athlone

27/11/2024: I stayed at the Radisson Blu for 11 nights for work and so visited the Restaurant every morning for breakfast. The ladies running the bistro did everything they could day in and day out to make sure it was always the best experience. The food is great and most importantly the staff really gave us the best start to the day! Definitely pay them a visit! :)

23/10/2025: Very rude and unhelpful staff but the food is okay

28/09/2025: I always visit O'Brien's in Athlone Town Center when in Athlone. The sandwiches are always beautifully made with high quality ingredients. The coffee is great too. This is the best O'Brien's I have been to, always so clean, from the food display to the clearing of the tables. I have always found a clean table to sit at and always enjoy my food. But most of all the staff are amazing, so friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble for them. At this point they remember my regular order, goats cheese sandwich on gluten free bread with an Americano, I don't even have to ask anymore 😆 well done to the hard working staff.

14/08/2025: Amazing place to enjoy some pints of Guinness. Live music and wonderful irish people

01/11/2025: We had such a great experience at The Fiddlers. Kathryn, the bartender was extremely nice, conversed with the four of us in our group the entire time we were there. She had suggestions for the best sights in Ireland, and when I mentioned I had been a bartender she showed my group exactly how to pour a Guinness. A treasure trove of knowledge! We enjoyed conversation with Larry, another customer at The Fiddlers. Great atmosphere and, of course, the Guinness was really good.

04/10/2025: Very very friendly staff and customers recommend popping in

04/10/2024: Great little gem we found 6 weeks ago. Have eaten here 5 times now and have not got a bad bit of food from it yet eating several different dishes. It really is a must try

10/01/2025: The business was closed for three days last month. Weak pest control, open pipes and rat droppings led to a Westmeath take away being served a closure order last month. Take Away Express on Northgate Street in Athlone was issued the order on December 13th under the FSAI Act 1998, which was lifted three days later on the 16th. It was one of six food businesses across the country that was served a closure order by The Food Safety Authority of Ireland last month. The FSAI served 133 enforcement orders on food businesses in 2024, an increase of 45% from the 92 orders issued in 2023.
