Hey Folks, anyone have a recommendation for a restaurant in Sligo town that's quiet? Well, not necessarily quiet, but spacious enough where you could have a private conversation with friends. We were set on trying out Rugantino, but it may be a little small to have a nice private meal. Although I love anything, my friends aren't into spicy food—so no Indian. And places like The Embassy are a little pricey at the moment, as awesome as their food is. Any thoughts? We've eaten at Swagman, China City, Embassy, Belfry and the Mandarin Court. My friend wasn't keen on the menu for Eala Bhan.

I got food in the Glasshouse a few times now and always thought it was pretty good. Never had any complaints from anyone I've been with there about the food.

What about Hargadon's? The alcoves there are private, and food is still decent.

AngryGoldfish · 27-03-2015 2:46pm

Thanks. I'll mention those two to my friends.

Do they only do a lunch time trade on food though, ie, 12-2. Still great food though, always sells out quick any time I have been there. +1 on the alcoves, weather eating or drinking, gives for an intimate setting, weather it be a small group of friends, a lunch time meeting, or out with partner/date. One of my favourite things about the place.

They do food up to 8 or 9 pm afaik.

Last weekend while my wife and I were trying to decide where to go for a bite to eat in Town, we realised how poor the choice of restaurants in Sligo is. A few pizza/pasta places, a few Chinese places, a few Indian place and a couple of others. All the rest are pubs serving food or takeaways.

In the end we went to the Bistro. I am not a fan of the place at all, over rated and over priced imo. But on this occasion it wasn't bad. Although the prices are still high I enjoyed the food.

jamie124 · 08-05-2015 9:12pm

Molly Fultons is grand ( For a quick meal )
Davis's ( Lovely )
The Riverbank - Dromahair ( Nice Enough )
There is another restaurant but it is outside Boyle called "The Moorings" and I think the food is amazing and the staff are nice too.

Had a meal in the Pilot Bar in Enniscrone. Its pub grub but excellent quality. I really enjoyed it and a nice atmosphere too.

Technically not Sligo but was in Luna last week and found it very expensive! €16-17 for a pizza?!

Will try there next time we are out that way. On the topic of places to eat in Enniscrone, we stopped at Muddy Burns last week,for the first time ever, both me and my other half had different meals, I gave mine 10 out of 10, it was delicious yet the other half was disappointed! You can't please all the people all of the time.

Ate in Eithna's By The Sea recently, very very good. Definitely not cheap though.

johnire · 12-07-2015 1:08pm

Just looked at their menu.....wow....it is so expensive. It would be nearly cheaper getting a flight to Italy and having the real thing there!!

Had lunch in O'Connor Bros, O'Connell St., menu was interesting enough, food was tasty & they've a brill selection of coffees as well. Service was absolutely top, I'd recommend!

A Casa Mia is the new haunt for dessert though

Hazelnut & Baileys Cheesecake = winner

Bebo stunnah · 25-07-2015 6:12pm

I was in Miso Sushi during the week for the first time. I have to admit it was my first time trying any Korean/Japanese style food so I don't know how it would stack up but my word it was delicious! By far the nicest place for food around town. It blows all the other foreign cuisine places (Chinese or indian etc) out of the water.

Not sure how healthy it is, but you're definitely not left with the feeling that you're going to grow a third ear like you would with some of the weird chemical soup you get in the chinese restaurants in town.

Is it just sushi or do they do regular Korean/Japanese meals too?

They do Japanese and Korean noodle dishes as well. Was there on Tuesday evening expecting it to be quiet but it was very busy. Been there twice, good on both occasions. Next time I will have sushi, it looked good.

It's not all sushi but it does consist of about one third of the menu. I ordered some set which had sushi and sashimi, I really enjoyed it. The person I was in with had a bowl of something, cant quite remember what it was called but it had beef, kimchi, carrot and a few other bits in it which was also delicious. The menu is very different to what I'm used to.

I know they do takeaway as a few people dropped by to pick up their orders while we were there. The worst you could do is drop in to pick up a menu?

Digiby · 27-07-2015 2:40pm

I've had lunch at Miso twice now as well and both times the food was good.
I had the full chicken Katsu roll the first time and had the Yakisoba with chicken the second time. The Yakisoba was very filling and tasty.
I haven't tried the Sashimi yet but the people I was with had it and enjoyed it.

There's seating for about 20 inside. There's three 4 person tables (that can be extended to 5 I think) and then there's four 2 person tables. Quite a few people were dropping in for take away lunches too.

Herself wanted to go for dinner during the week so decided to head out to Clevery Mill in Castlebaldwin. I've heard good reviews about it but when we got there it was closed. Apparently only open for large groups. So just went to McDermotts on the main road, they seemed to have good review on tripadvisor.
I have to admit the starters were lovely! However for dinner I ordered the salmon and got a darn of salmon, half a handful of little cubes of veggies and a small plate of mashed potatoes and was charged 18 euro for it!!! I could have bought a whole salmon for less than that! Wont be going back.

johnire · 19-08-2015 6:46pm

Yes. I had a similar experience there before. The food wasn't very nice and the service was terrible. We never went back again.

Nothing drives me more barmy than complete mean-ness with the vegetables! Fill the rest of the plate dammit!

Another vote for Miso here; was there on Saturday so busy Fleadh day but it was grand & got a table no bother. Had the chicken sushi roll myself, it was huge! And probably quite westernized in its breaded chicken & garlic mayo :P My conspirator had the sashimi, it was beautiful and the fish was absolutely top quality melt in the mouth. Got the hang of the chop sticks just as I was finishing the last bite. Not sure how much attention people pay to (non-alcoholic!) drinks, but I got an apple juice and it came in a huge glass and was delicious! Overall a winner. Great to see a place in this little roadeen in Sligo

deadlybuzzman · 24-08-2015 3:30pm

Another thumbs up here for Miso. I was in it last night and it was great. Quality food great portions original food and it's obvious that they take pride in their work.
I'd happily go again tonight!

Basq · 24-08-2015 3:35pm

Yep, went in on Friday night. Absolutely superb food!

30-08-2015 5:08pm

I was in Hardigans recently and was disappointed by the food there. The menu had changed too. It was one of the best bar food places around in my opinion. I was told the chef moved to the Riverside so I went there yesterday. Not much of an atmosphere but the food was excellent. Is it true about the chef moving there?

littlejp · 16-09-2015 8:23am

The Sweet Beat on Bridge St is great for a healthy, tasty lunch. Avocado on toast is my personal favourite. Lovely coffee too.

Kettleson · 18-09-2015 10:25am

Hi folks. Any restaurants doing early bird on a Friday?

johnire · 18-09-2015 11:32am

I think the Mandarin Court in Wine St have an early bird.

Thanks Johnire. Are they still open? Always liked that place but haven't been there in ages.

Edit: Yes still open, I misread their facebook page.

johnire · 18-09-2015 3:53pm

No problem...hope you enjoy it if you go.
I've been twice over the last few months and it was delicious.

I'm sure Montemart has been mentioned on this thread before, but I only recently went for a feed there for the first time. I'm quite disappointed that it took me this long to go; Absolutely fantastic food! I'm not going to call the service slow as I'm guessing it's more so the french way to serve food but there is a bit of wait between each course, in case you weren't expecting it. Really cant fault any of it, as the waiters were very pleasent also!

Definitely another one to go back to again.

Sergei Malatov · 18-09-2015 10:24pm

Went to The Mandarin Court with my girlfriend recently.

I have to say the two people working there, particularly the one with the English accent, made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

I went there when I was home. It was a pretty poor effort I thought.

The service is that slow I thought they were growing the beans to order

sammyjo90 · 21-11-2015 1:24pm

I love the food in the draft house, eaten there a few times now and everything I've had I honestly couldn't fault. It also helps that they serve my favourite cider!

25-11-2015 7:44pm

Not a fan of the hipster type presentation. What's wrong with a plate?

sammyjo90 · 26-11-2015 7:21pm

every main dish I have had has been served up on a plate..only the burger I had has been served in their little quirky box. the way they serve it will not put me off the tasty food that the chef is turning out!

Western Pomise · 04-01-2016 1:26pm

Going to be in Sligo with OH and some friends in a few weekends time.

Can locals recommend any places for a night time sit down meal.In midrange price rise,have heard of Donaghys place near rail station before but they said it's quite pricy,thanks for any feedback.
