The best restaurants in Mullingar

25/02/2025: We recently had the pleasure of visiting this fantastic, authentic Irish pub in Mullingar, and I honestly can’t say enough about it. There was a group of 10 of us visiting from California and from the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The bar owner, Kieran is amazing– so welcoming, friendly, and really made us feel like part of the family. You can tell they take great pride in their pub and their community. All the bartenders are fabulous. What stood out the most, though, was how the locals welcomed us. They were incredibly warm, engaging, and just genuinely happy to have us there. It’s not often you find a place where both the staff and the customers make you feel like you’re not just a tourist, but someone they’re happy to share a pint with. They even taught us how to properly pour a pint of Guinness. There is great live music and dancing. It was such a memorable night. If you’re in Mullingar, do yourself a favor and make a stop here. It’s not just a pub – it’s a true Irish experience, filled with great conversation, great drinks, and even better people. Can’t wait to return next time we’re in town! Thank you, Kieran and staff!!

03/02/2025: We were staying in a hotel near bye and Clakes was recommended to us and we were not disappointed, good band,played 80s music. Staff friendly and service was excellent. highly recommended

07/03/2025: Had my daughter’s 8th birthday party with the women in Angel art! It was so brilliant. All The kids had a ball! Such a nice change to the usual options and they are so good with the kids!!!! Highly recommended!

22/02/2025: Amazing staff. They are so friendly and they make you feel so welcomed

05/02/2025: Fantastic pub. Great for all events, watching sport, a quiet pint or a party. Very friendly staff too.

27/01/2025: Had breakfast here a few times, always excellent, good product used

21/02/2025: We had the bridal suite as an upgrade and it was fantastic room 102. Breakfast was delicious and the overall experience was excellent. Super friendly staff

19/02/2025: Staff in the carvery are clueless, I ordered my meal and asked for some chips on the plate with my meal. My son was ordering too and I didn't realise the girl had forgotten to add them. I noticed she forgot the chips just as I sat down, I immediately returned to make her aware of her mistake. All I wanted was a small handful of chips. She gave them to me but said I would have to pay as I didn't get them with my dinner. So I went to the till to explain the mistake to a more senior staff member. When I spoke to an older more senior lady at the till she just said, Oh sorry about that, now that's going to be €4 I just paid for their mistake rather than causing an argument. But I'll never return because of this. Carvery food was disgusting also lots of cross contamination among dishes and poor food safety standards. DO NOT RECOMMEND

23/02/2025: Fabulous selection of Lebanese and Moroccan food. The food was fabulous, service was brilliant. None of the 8 of us left disappointed. Will definitely be back 😁

01/02/2025: The food here was top class. The flavours, unique blend of delicate spices and freshness were really unbeatable. The service was excellent. Have travelled all over the middle-east and honestly, this food really lives up to the standard. My advice? Don't be afraid to try something new. It really should be a restaurant that people in Mullingar think of on a regular basis as it brings a touch of culture and class to the town. I recommend trying the Main platter for 2. It had something for everyone. We couldn't even finish ours there was so much food.

06/03/2025: Lovely place nice food and very friendly staff

06/03/2025: Great place. You can relax and enjoy a coffee in their snug.

09/02/2025: Really impressed with the Annebrook Hotel. Many thanks to Pat for his help despite the fact that we were very early. Highly recommend the breakfast to all. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning. Lovely spot. Thank you!

09/03/2025: Nice food and friendly service. Relaxed and comfortable.

07/03/2025: I enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in Esquires this week. The staff were kind, friendly and helpful. The food, smoothie and coffee that I had were delicious, and I was even treated to a free slice of cake to sample. It was a profiterole cheesecake, and I enjoyed every mouthful of it. Thanks so much for a lovely experience. I will definitely return to this café.

07/03/2025: A vet would bring the meat back to life again, 50 euro for raw shite

02/03/2025: I like the food in Eddie Rockets but it has gotten so expensive..over 14 just for a burger?. You have to buy the chips separately....

05/03/2025: Three friends and I tried the Asian fusion menu here on a Saturday night for the first time. I opted for the Thai Tom yum soup at €12 which was tasty and filling with a decent amount of prawns. Two of the others chose the Duck bon bons and the other had cheese burger spring roll. For mains I had the pulled lamb Bao buns for €16. You had to order side dishes to add to your main which looked quite skimpy on the plate by themselves. We shared two sides amongst the 4 of us. I expected double the amount for the chicken rice dish and the wok fried noodle and Asian vegetable side which were both respectively priced at 10 euro each. For dessert, a friend and I split and shared the Banoffee spring rolls with toffee syrup and espresso and caramel cheesecake: the latter was the better dish. The banoffee spring rolls were akin to banana fritters. For drinks, I had a Mojito mocktail at €9 as did another of the party. Another had a pink lady mocktail which was the same price as the Mojito mocktail. The non-driver of the group had 2 glasses of Sauvignon which were relatively reasonably priced. 3 of us finished with Americanos at €3.50 each. The total bill came to €208 or so. The staff were pleasant and the background music was very good. Think the portion of the sides need addressing for return visits.

25/02/2025: Absolutely love Red Earth. The food, the atmosphere, the service, everything is amazing. Can’t fault the place. Parking is tight enough but other than that, I love the place! My favourite dish is the Singapore Noodles.

18/03/2025: Fraynes! What can we say, best bakery/cafe in Mullingar! Always our first stop when we fly in, and always our last stop on the day we fly out. We also visit almost everyday in between. They serve the best “Full Irish” breakfast and more! Hubby always gets the full Irish & I typically change up my selection. Food never disappoints! Oh, and they also serve the best Cappuccino too!

03/02/2025: Anyone visiting Mullingar needs to visit Fraynes for their breakfast lunch or a beautiful baked in house cake or scone and the best filter coffee in Mullingar

16/02/2025: Nice pub with great selection of beers and nice pub atmosphere with no loud music the times I have been here, great guinness and guinness zero

07/02/2025: Wasn’t expecting to find the perfect pub in Mullingar, but this is it.

24/12/2024: Not sure what the thought process was but they closed up at 11:10 on the 23rd.. They obviously haven’t read up on porters 5 forces

07/09/2024: Massive bar with snugs all over a huge covered beer garden with pizzeria attached. A whole new meaning to pizza and a pint. Private rooms and cosy corners .

22/02/2025: Lovely evening, great food and great service. Highly recommended. Pat was attentive, and helpful throughout. For Starters we both had Goat cheese and onion tarts. Delicious. Butternut squash risotto was beautifully cooked and delicious, as was Beef cheeks. Desserts also fabulous, apple crumble and also Pavlova. Service throughout was exceptional. We will book here again for sure if we return.

01/12/2024: We had a family lunch for 14 people for a birthday & anniversary celebration. The restaurant manager Pat could not do enough for us. He was so welcoming, personable and fantastic with all the kids. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon and making the occasion so special. I’m looking forward to my next meal there. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
