1. Eatzen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 213 reviews
At Eatzen we combine a fresh, sophisticated approach to Asian fine dining with the richness of the classic imperial kitchen. Eating together and enjoying the moment is as important to us as the quality and authenticity of our ingredients.

This is probably my top choice for eating out! Even having moved from the area I still travel back here as the food is exceptional! No where for me tops the food and service here.

We visit The Cinnamon Garden regularly enough. The last couple of times we have been somewhat deflated but this past visit was very good.
The staff here are among the best for service, friendliness and great attention to their customers - in fact they could be cloned for other restaurants!
There is always prompt service and drinks arrive quickly, similarly with the food.
We do find the menu a little limited however in terms of choice of starters and for me as a seafood lover - particularly shellfish, I have tried everything on the menu so far and tend to go for chicken.
Overall though a lovely place to eat - not cheap though.

OK I grew up in Ashbourne. Now I live stateside. As we make the annual pilgrimage back home, the first port of call after all the hugs and greetings is always, always "the deli". My 2 girls shall talk for weeks about how they can almost taste the chicken panini before we board EI136 from Boston!
The deli, the panini's, the coffee, the salads, all of us sitting around chatting and eating in this charming lovely place - this is now part of our family lore!
Super cheap, super friendly, beloved by the locals.
Find it behind Murtagh's on Main Street, Ashbourne.
You cannot go wrong!
Highly recommended!

We both booked a table here Saturday for 6.30pm we were staying in the Pillo hotel down the road. The restaurant is very homely as is the staff and the management, you are really made feel at home. The Snailbox is just off the main road to Ashbourne and is ideal if you coming from Drogheda, Ashbourne or even Dublin.
The food here is really top class and has to visited. I have eaten in the restaurant a few times and the standard is always excellent. On arriving we were shown to our seat, it is advisable to book ahead to avoid delay or disappointment. We ordered Feta salad and Salmon with avocado both dishes were excellent. For mains we had Surf and Turf and Haddock and garlic prawns both dishes were superb. The desert menu is the best I have seen in a long time. The owners of the Snailbox really are a credit to the restaurant business as are all the staff. The bar is also a beautiful place for a drink before you meal. Do not pass this place ever again, really worth a visit. By the way there is a great deal Sunday to Friday B&B with two course meal at an excellent price. Thank you guys for a great evening and we will be back.

I never noticed The Donkey Shed Restaurant before and I regularly go by the entrance. When I mentioned it later to my Daughter she says it’s great isn’t it. I asked why she kept it secret. No reply.
They do great business and their food is lovely. Well worth visiting.

We were staying at the hotel and purchased a meal deal for the restaurant, I'm glad we did as the food and service was excellent.
The wings for starter were well presented, fresh, hot and delicious, for the main courses the steak was cooked exactly how I asked and was tender and tasty, the burger looked amazing and homemade and my brother said it tasted as good as it looked and my daughter really enjoyed her chicken and mushroom pasta.
The desserts were also delicious and I rather enjoyed the banoffee pie.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, they couldn't do enough for us.
Overall was excellent value for money and I'd recommend anyone to give the loft a try.
7. La Bucca Ashbourne
Overall Ratings
4 based on 186 reviews
A little bit of Mediterranean cuisine in County Meath! La Bucca was opened in 2004, by Russell Bailey in Ashbourne to provide family friendly dining to the fastest expanding town in County Meath. Customer demand led to the opening of La Bucca Ratoath in 2007 and La Bucca Dunboyne in 2010. We would be delighted to welcome you to any of our venues to try one of our tantalizing dishes and a glass of wine. Keep an eye out for our daily changing specials, which have a leaning towards seafood but has something to suit every palate. Please remember at peak times booking is essential – especially at weekends. Look forward to welcoming you soon.

I have eaten in both the Ashbourne and Dunboyne branches and always find the staff to be accommodating and helpful. I really like the options on the menu. My one complaint is I don’t get the impression the burgers are homemade on site. I always feel they are a let down and possibly prebought. All other dishes I have eaten are lovely!

Had breakfast in Corks. I love that it's cooked to order. Great scrambled eggs a bacon and the nicest brown bread toast ever. My one and only small gripe is I had 3 coffees and all three were no where near hot enough. A small problem that I'm sure can be very easily sorted. But over all a great place.

Reviewed By Maria J - Carlow
Firstly, I actually quite like this restaurant in terms of the service being good & the food always being fine. My issue is with the general atmosphere of the place being TOO "family friendly". We visited as a group of four and between the extremely loud music playing in the restaurant and the number of kids, we all had to shout at each other to have a conversation.
Staff are always very pleasant (there's a young lad in particular who was very attentive and in a great mood!) but the loud music being played throughout the restaurant ruined it for us. If the loud music wasn't there though, you'd only be able to hear the million kids running around... For us (four adults aged 30+) it was far too noisy and not at all the relaxing kind of meal we were after.
If your kids love running around other peoples table screaming and you're not that bothered about keeping them in check, this is the place for you - they'll blend right in!
