Corries Bistro - Carlow

The food at this hotel bar is incredible. I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and dined here every evening. While it may not be high-end luxury cuisine, the traditional pub food like burgers, fish and chips, and pizza is of excellent quality, delicious, generously portioned, and great value for money.

This restaurant located in a hotel offers a menu of higher quality pub food. The prawns two ways starter was fantastic! The Batman dish was also excellent, as was the young female server. The only downside was that the atmosphere was lacking, but this may be due to it being midweek. It's possible that there is more excitement on the weekends, but it's uncertain.

I had a family meal at this restaurant and it was awful! I enjoyed the Caesar salad, but my sister's goats cheese bruschetta with char grilled veg was terrible. The vegetables were stewed and soggy, and there was hardly any cheese. The chicken wings were bland. I think I had the best starter out of the group. Moving on to the main courses, it was a disaster. I ordered the beef and Guinness pie, which was served in an oval dish and had no Guinness in it. It looked like a messy bowl of stew with mashed potatoes on top. Two of my party members ordered half a roast chicken, which tasted like it was straight out of the microwave and was served with bland mashed potatoes. My vegetarian sister had only one option on the menu, a vegetarian red curry that was overly spicy and tasted like it had too much curry powder. Overall, it was a terrible experience and I will not be returning to this so-called bistro.

Great menu caters well for families, good selection of drinks and fantastic service in a relaxed atmosphere.

I've been to Corries for dinner many times over the past few years but my visit in July will be the last Food was awful, 5 of 7 meals ordered were not good Worst was kids roast of the day which was cold chicken pieces, probably left overs from lunch I imagine Manager did give us a 15% discount and did not charge for the kids roast which I appreciated but even still I will not return Better options in the Carlow area
