There are some nice restaurants behind the castle, just beside the Shannon. As for stuff to see and do i'd have a look at discover Ireland or something like that.

You could go up to Grogans or the Fatted calf in Glasson for lunch then check out Portlick woods/Lough Ree afterwards if you like to walk, see nature etc.
