Carlow Town Restaurants

Really enjoyable Christmas lunch at the Ivy, food was delicious and service wonderful.

We are regulars to Mimosa and the food never disappoints. It is amazing food, the simplest dish is made to taste wonderful. I've never had a bad dish there. The staff are friendly and attentive.

The surf and turf was gorgeous, thw lobster was not overly done in butter like most places, cooked so well - we were really impressed especially round the busy Christmas season, the med rare filet steaks were crusted on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside again super impressed, the sides were top notch (fries, mc & cheese and garlic mushrooms) ... starters were so large and the tastes were gorgeous crab 10/10. Desserts were fabulous and presented Powell. The staff tho, from start to finish were AMAZING, they really make the place what it is, from the bar man, to the waiters, all were so good, defo will be back for the surf & tuff alone. Thanks all for a fabulous birthday meal for my hubby.

We were a table of seven and we were all very happy with the food and the service and the atmosphere. The food was lovely, very fresh. Everyone at the table was very happy. We were part of a graduation. We arrived earlier than our reservation and we were accommodated it was very nice.

Lovely Gaston pub in Athy, we had attentive waitresses and enjoyed the outdoor craic after our meal. We were staying at Kilkea Castle whose staff recommended the Auld Shebeen.
