    Just gonna revive this thread ...... Have to say there are loads of good places to eat in Carlow now. Here are a few, what have I missed?

    Cantina - Dublin Street
    Lennons - Old Dublin Road
    The Avenue - Kennedy Court
    Smoque - Hay Market
    Mimosa - College Street
    Bella Vita - Tullow Street
    Brasserie 15 - Tullow Street ... Not been there yet but sounds good

    And the newest addition ....

    Pimento - Kennedy Avenue

    Pimento is unreal. Was in with the missus last weekend and the food was amazing. Highly recommended!

    Heard it described as 'better than Mimosa' which is high praise from that person.

    Going to make a point of getting into a few of them over Xmas.

    Have to say I was in Pimento the opening weekend (already a huge fan of Mimosa) and was VERY impressed.

    Couple of small teething problems on the Friday night (smell of fresh varnish and some of the waiting staff a little inexperienced) but certainly nothing that would put me off.

    We returned on the Sunday and it was FAB. Much more relaxed and polished.
    The decor is excellent, certainly wouldn't recognise it as Italian Connection but the food is OUTSTANDING.
    As i said, i'm a big fan of mimosa, going about twice a month, but it has serious competition here.

    I'd deffo recommend it, just hope the two places can survive (dont see why not), The more good restaurants the town has the better.

    I follow both on facebook & i see Pimento has 10% off between 5-7pm.


    No connection with either restaurant by the way, just a big fan of both.

    Have you tried Angels on Horseback? Some really good food in there. Its on Barrack street so its central enough but easy enough to get to.

    Dinn RI carvery for lunch. Usually Good, huge portions.
    Seven Oaks carvery for lunch. Usually Good, huge portions.
    Lemon Grass, do lunch on weekends iirc. Good grub.
    Mimosa, not a fan of tapas but I've heard enough of the lads in the office rave about it to know its good.
    Pimento, again not a fan of tapas but it's good.
    Brasserie 15, been several times and it's always been good. Full bar from next door is handy for those who like a good mix of beers.
    Italian place on tullow street, don't know the name but it's near Tullys. Has been all sorts over the years.
