Places to eat in Dundalk!

I think Carlitos in dunleer is much better than la cantina, anytime I've been there it's been only average. No comparison to Carlitos so well worth the spin

I'd give them another shot if you haven't gone in a bit. La Cantina has really been fab the last few times I've gone in.

The pizza with the homemade sausage and mushroom is my new favourite! That and the mountain of cheesecake...

Sorry, but you cannot consider Sunray to be quality food. If it's a quality breakfast you want then it's impossible to pass the Food House in Clanbrassil Street. Finest quality sausages and bacon, an incredible range of eggs. Then there's the pancake options, grenola, etc. And the coffee is among the best in the town. Sunray doesn't come close for quality. They are certainly cheaper but for a good reason.
I have eaten breakfast out 2 days a week for years and cannot believe the difference the Food House has made.

+1 for the foodhouse, good clean quality breakfast and service and best coffee in town in my opinion. However i will say the place is let down by the state of the toilets.....



Can't fault kingfisher for a good breakfast either....lovely bacon!

Was in the Coachsman Tavern on Sunday (old building reopened on Castlebellingham Road). Very good food, soup, sandwiches, jacket potatoes & excellent carrot cake.

is it a pub/restuarant or a cafe?

I would consider it a tea shop style venue but I was only there early one morning. Breakfasts looked OK.

Yeah more of a café/tea shop.

I like The Jockeys for breakfast,its a good hearty full Irish,and i love the way they keep refilling your tea/coffee. Never been in the Sunray,have never heard anything about it. Love The Foodhouse for breakfast,pancakes and crispy bacon are fantastic,great coffee too. Really like 23 seats for a chilled out coffee too.Staff are very friendly also.

I had lovely chicken goujons and chips in it so a bit more substantial than cafe

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

I'd hardly call goujons and chips restaurant fare.

I mean its more substantial than just sandwiches like other tearooms

Having eaten out today for just €40 (3 courses, 2 diners) I now believe Left Bank to be the best, most keenly priced eatery in Dundalk. Started with a delectable chicken and vegetable broth served with house-bake bread; had a main of chicken supreme with sautéed mushrooms in tarragon sauce, served with mixed vegetables and champ; finished with a sumptuous bakewell tart with warm custard and ice-cream.
We chose from the Sunday Specials menu, yet the array of choices for each course was overwhelming - one would think they were looking at a normal a la carte list. Portion sizes were anything but meagre, and I struggled to finished the end of my dessert. Presentation was exquisite - of a standard one would expect in any high-end Dublin brasserie or restaurant, which the service was down-to-earth ad attentive (but not suffocating, as is the case in some places).
To find such quality food and service in the town makes me wonder how nearby restaurants are managing to still attract business. Also noticed on the way out that they're running a Lenten midweek special of €10 for two courses.
Needless to say, I'll be recommending the place to anyone and everyone looking to dine out (affordably).

I never liked the Left Bank. I find it dark, the menu limited, and the service on occasions was fair from good. But, to each their own! That's why different venues survive, I suppose.

Mrs W

I like their food but I think the staff aren't great. The little blonde woman is awful sour and it's nearly like their doing you a favour by serving you.

Their normal menu prices don't include sides either so they should increase the price to include them, it's just misleading otherwise

M.A.G

I really like the food in the Leftbank too but the staff let the place down with a bang.Its a few years since i've been in it,so maybe they've hired more pleasant staff.Last time i was in the waitress never cracked a smile or even said hello,and don't even get me started on the barman...
I don't expect staff to be all over us,but a simple hello would suffice.
