I went to Clevery Mill in Castlebaldwin last night for the first time. It's a really lovely place. The food is a bit pricey for some of the main courses but they had a four course special for 24.95 which was fab. The rest of the family had steak served on a hot stone, so you more or less cook it yourself....it was all wonderful food though. Very impressed.

Went there last month for dinner with friends, everyone had the steak bar me (I had the rack of lamb-can't say enough good things about it!!

) The only thing I didn't like (& the others commented on) about the 'steak on a hot stone' was how the juices/oil spattered all over the table (including into my drink

) Moral of the story? Don't wear your lovely white dry-clean only top...

Swagman Bar Wine Street

Location: Wine Street Sligo. Formally the Stables Bar.

Opening hours: A few weeks ago they told me they served food til 7. But yesterday they said they serve til 5.

Price: Very Reasonable. About €10 or less for a massive main course. €5.95 for a seafood chowder which was a meal in itself. Starters roughly €6-€7 (very big portions.) We got a single portion of chicken wings which was enough to feed three, easily.

Overall: Lovely pub grub. Reasonably priced. Lovely friendly and attentive staff. They do a pizza that is exactly like a Bistro Michelangelo but half the price - score!!!

Actually it's nearly better than the Bistro's. Firmer, slightly doughier base. I always liked the Bistro because of their toppings (especially Michelangelo) but was never mad on their bases.

Restaurant: The silver apple

Location: Lord Edward Street

Myself and the OH went here sunday evening. I had the Lissadell Mussels for starters, 10 oz steak for mains and warm choclate nut brownie for desert.

The OH had soup, salmon and the choclate nut brownie for desert.

Overall: The food was very good certainly not your typical bar food, the mussels were excellent and had lovely flavour. I had the best steak in a long time with pepper sauce. I wasnt overly impressed with the desert but overall definately a place I would recommend on going to at least once.

4/5

We ate in Cafe Victor at he end of JFK the other week, its been a while since we went and I had forgotten how good it is! They do a big bowl of homemade soup, homemade bread and a piece of fruit for a fiver. Specials could be stew or tarragon chicken or lasagna but always good homemade food. Good coffee and homemade scones, muffins and buns.

Must say I rate the Silver Apple highly too. Had an early bird there at the start of the year and it was very good. I would describe it as French food, it's certainly not bar food!

I had dinner with the OH at Cromleach lodge in Castlebaldwin lately. Overall very expensive and I wasnt overly impressed with the food given the price. Quite a nice setting though. Overall better places to eat out in Sligo.

the young staff that serve breakfast if you stay there leave a lot to be desired too. we asked for bowls to put cereal into and you'd swear we asked them to solve a difficult maths equation. the breakfast i have to say was really disappointing. i've had better in cheap chain hotels. the setting is lovely alright, but apart from that it's grossly over hyped in my opinion.

Has anybody been into the new Casa Del Mia on Tobergal lane?
or have any other info about it?
Have been by it once or twice since it opened and still not sure if they serve meals or are just a posh coffee shop!

Im guessing this may be what Dunlaffin has been dropping hints about?

rocky raccoon · 29-05-2012, 20:16

Yeah, had a coffee and lintel soup there last week and a ciabata and coffee today, both times were very nice. Staff very friendly and the place is nice. Both times cost around €5.50. Looked at the wine menu today €18 upwards for a bottle, €5 upwards for a glass. The layout is a bit awkward with fixed tables seating two or the one long table which seems to seat around 18. No menu yet.

Was in it a couple of times around lunchtime. Cheapest Ciabattas in town and they're tasty too. Coffee comes in a great size cup and is very reasonable (unlike the Costa thieves across the street). Like Rocky I'm scratching my head at the layout, it's a small enough place but the big table down the middle of the floor halves the place. I do like the smaller "tables" by the window under the bookcases even if it does look like the one of those prison visiting hatches you see in the movies without the phones.

I've found my new favourite cafe in Sligo. Chapters Coffee House beside Furey's pub.
3 euro for soup, 4 euro for a huge sandwich, 4 euro for coffee and a book. Great selection of books upstairs. Free Wi-fi and great friendly service.
