The Riverbank is a real gem slightly off Tullow town centre but right by the river on the way to Mount Wolsey. Enough about the location. The food! Absolutely the best chicken salad EVER. It was a Kaleidoscope of colour and flavor (that’s if you can have such a flavor). Absolutely loved it. Don’t miss it if your in Tullow

End in Lennons after checking trip for Carlow. Not the easiest to find but a pleasant surprise way eventually we got there, outside seating area and spacious room, short menu with daily specials explain "vaguely" by our waitress. Excellent starters of chicken liver pate (generous) and crab/fish (a tad expensive for amount) only one main of panko chicken which was too cooked and dry, again good portion but uninteresting mayo and tasteless salad, chips ok only, dessert quite heavy. Overall, could be better, more friendly/homy and more care in the kitchen, all these things easily rectified to get a better experience

Le Fermier

Romantic setting in a relaxed environment. Food cooked from fresh ingredients on order. Locally sourced produce with selection of fine wine to compliment dishes. Early bird menu available, in season produce at competitive rates.

Reviewed By Rosycantlon

My two friends and I enjoyed a delicious three course meal from the early bird menu last night. It was perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and incredible value for money. Wine by the glass was served in very generous portions compared to some restaurants I’ve been to recently. We had a lovely night and really enjoyed the food and hospitality.

Carlow's newest and exciting social venue, for great food and wine served in an uncomplicated and casual setting.

Normally I like Pimentos they do well, but this last visit the Paella did not taste fresh, it was watery and as if if previously frozen. Too much condiments and I got food poisoning for 2 days right after my meal ! It was a rough weekend dealing with that. Their quality has def gone down since the last time i went

Mimosa Wine & Tapas Bar

Reviewed By Ecowoman

The menu is eclectic- a mix of Spanish tapas, Moroccan and Irish bites. Some better than others: fish tacos good, slow cooked pork not slow cooked (over cooked and hard), seafood paella (ok, with a good kick and quite turmeric-y), gnocchi (bland) and churros (light with a nice dulce sauce). This place gets pretty busy in the evening, so show up early (5pm opening) to guarantee a seat. Drinks are good, sangria a tad sweet. Service friendly.
