    If you're thinking of any of the restaurants, no harm in booking. Last time I was in Stra Bahn was on a Thursday evening and it was wedged.

    Hardagon's can get busy in the evening time (there's some great jazz on Friday nights too), but stop serving at about 9 or 10.

    Shells closes at, um a reasonable hour in the evening, so that's a daytime job. Don't think they take bookings (Icould be wrong though).

    If you are out shopping around the town, get an ice cream from Fabio's on Wine Street (near and opposite the Post Offfice) and sit down by the river at Rockwood parade. :)

    Fabios is great, have to recommend the pizza too. The Swagman is nice for lunch, also I love The Strand for lunch.

    Do Fabios do Pizza?

    Ate in Bella Vista (strandhill) a couple of time over the last week, including a sunday lunch. Absolutely delicious.

    Would defiantly recommend The Swagmans Steak Sandwich.

    No Fabio's don't do pizza, not that I know anyways.

    My intention was to suggest, for visitors to buy a coffee, or an ice cream, or bring a flask of tea and to sit by the river and watch the swans and the ducks amble on the river and watch the world go by. And then maybe go for a bite to eat.

    You can eat great food anywhere at a price. But the best things in Sligo are free.

    Also my intention wasn't to argue is it homemade or not - the thing was that you can buy the same ice cream in Galway for example and all over Italy.

    He does pizza but You have to wait for it.

    Pizzas are lovely, they take about ten minutes, a bit limited on toppings.

    Yes you can buy homemade gelato in Galway and Italy, I've had both, but I love Fabios and it is lovely to treat yourself to a homemade ice cream once in a while while getting personal recommendations from the man himself. Even the pre packaged stuff is going up in price!

    Cleverly Mill's early bird is top notch. Well worth a visit.

    Well, I have been back to Source in Sligo twice since I last posted and I reckon it and Shells are the best by a stretch. I tried Aile Bhan on advice here and I found it to be OK, not brilliant. Oversize portions and white tablecloths won't convince me. The beef wasn't the best quality, looked like Belgian blue or some large continental breed, nothing compared to the Hereford that Source do. Loving the seafood in Source, particularly the shellfish, the service was good, relaxed, but it's a relaxed atmosphere.

    Yes - heard that this morning. Sign on door apparently saying - Closed due to circumstances beyond their control - It was only a matter of time - put a comment on this thread months ago about how bad their service was - something that was completly within their control !!! Very sorry for the people that are out of work - pity management didn't realise in time what a poor service they were offering to Sligo. Such a pity such a fine building never lived up to what it promised !!

    The Golf Club in Strandhill have reopened the restaurant in the evening (now Four Winds) for early bird on weekends (I think, not opened Mon to Wed anyhoo).

    Tried it last night, tasty. Just another option, tis a bit outta the way but greats views from the windows too.

    This is the worst I've heard in a long time. Apparently the staff in Davis' don't get the tips. Anyone else hear that

    Not a restaraunt but others have mentioned take aways. Had been sceptical of a leaflet for Hello Pizza, 20" pizza for €15.
    Ordered it this evening and I have to say, it was an incredible pizza. Better than Dominos and Papa johns in my opinion. Also received a free 1.5ltr bottle of coke too.
