Reviews of Corner House Bistro

D. B.

Had few breakfasts there, lunch and now dinner. Food was always fast enough, and good taste. Service is very good,young and polite staff. Always very friendly and with smile on their face. Very approachable and helpful. This dinner was very very good, steak was absolutely perfectly done and it was pure pleasure to eat. All the combination on the plate was just perfection. Buddha salad with chicken was decent, nothing special. From all the dishes I eat there it was my least favourite but still decent salad. One of the ingredients were avocado 🥑 what was barely put on the salad and my reason I ordered salad was literally just avocado as I had munchies that day to eat avocado. So wasn't my favourite dish. Dish that is not on the pictures but I had it few weeks ago was tortellini wrap with fries and that was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend steak or tortilla wraps.

Amazing food, lovely place and very friendly staff

A. P.

staff very nice and professional, food was nice too I got a salad, which was one of the daily specials was big enough and tasty, my boyfriend got the fish and chips, that was nice too! huge potatoes 😆 but handmade! I really loved the wine and the atmosphere was quite suggestive as well. We really liked it 😊

T. M.

Best soup and hand-cut chips in town! The pulled pork and chicken fillet mains were succulent, and served with warm smiles behind masks. Loved the outdoor setting.

J. H.

Really yummy food and that was just the sandwiches and wraps. Lovely atmosphere to go with it too. Lost a star because the coffee wasn't great and the milk was boiling hot (burnt my wife's mouth).

S. C.

Nice food, had to sit 25minutes before we could order from the lunch menu without the option of a breakfast menu, which I found strange. Pricey lunch menu. Found the atmosphere was quiet tense between staff & managers/owner. Felt uncomfortable to watch at times. Hard to go unnoticed. The young man that served us was lovely.

V. G.

Really nice place to eat and stay. The staff is nice and warm on the reception, the waitersess was kind and even sugested dishes. The food is amazing, well cooked and diferent from the tradicional Irish restaurants we stopped by. Definetly recommended.

M. L.

I was in the Corner House Bistro Saturday 9/10/2021 & I have to say that the staff are extremely efficient, food was absolutely delicious . The Bistro was extremely busy & absolutely meticulous clean. I highly recommend the Corner House Bistro, well worth a visit & sit back and enjoy your meal.

T. C.

Lovely food,lamb special nicest i have ever had,very friendly,helpful and informed staff,i will definately recommend this restaurant to everyone and i am looking forward to going back next time i am up in athlone

s. m.

A really nice place the service is extremely friendly and attentive food stunning with great presentation and tons of flavour I was very impressed with the dessert dishes very strong flavours. I had the chocolate brownie/raspberry cheesecake which sounded weird but was a flavour explosion in the mouth A real must for anyone who enjoys good food

B. O.

Great breakfast bap, good service. Cappuccino was decent but I felt the grind could be a bit finer. The back end of the coffee tasted like a single origin v60, not what I was expecting from a cappuccino

M. D.

Delicious steak bap and chicken supreme. The curried parsnip soup appetiser was very tasty!

S. M.

Hi it was top shelf great food lovely staff will call again chau chau

D. M.

Had the breakfast bap and a cappuccino. Both were lovely. Really tasty. And to cap it all off, I also got a complimentary second cappuccino. I'll definitely go here again the next time I'm in Athlone.

A. S.

Excellent Irish breakfast option, easily the best in town. The bacon and sausage is very tender, juicy and properly baked. The staff is well mannered and treat the customers nicely. This is by far the best breakfast option in Athlone.

There are many reasons why the Corner House Bistro has been awarded the title of Best Soup and Bread at several agricultural fairs. I sampled an award-winning cup of butternut squash and coconut, topped off with home baked brown bread and fresh creamery butter. The combination was a perfect tonic against the wet weather outside. Based on the capacity crowd tucked inside at 3pm on a Friday, I am not alone in believing the Corner House Bistro offers the best late lunch in Athlone.

J. B.

Good food, well made and decent portions, won’t leave hungry anyways

E. D.

Great food and service! Highly recommend to eat here

Top marks for this little place scrumptious food reasonable price lovely staff nice homely atmosphere

M. D.

I only went there for dessert so can't say what their starters and mains are like, but what I saw served up to a couple across from me looked lovely. Two very nice touches were: as I sat down I was asked if I'd like some water and then when I ordered, I was asked if I'd like a newspaper. So on to the food: there were 11 desserts available and I opted for the creme brulee with icecream, strawberries and a shortbread biscuit along with a hot chocolate the dessert was lip smackingly gorgeous but I (personally) found the hot chocolate somewhat lacking in flavour and the reason I've deducted one star. If I could have, I'd happily have given this place a 4.5 or 4.75 an strongly recommend it to anybody.

A. C.

Staff and food Fabolous put price very expressive

Lovely food and great friendly service

D. C.

Absolutely sensational. Staff were friendly and attentive, we were offered an amuse bouche which was delicious! I had the prawn and saffron risotto, the tomato and rocket was a nice addition, added some acidity and a little crunch to the dish. Highly highly recommend

B. O.

A bit expensive, but the guy running the show was cool. Nice friendly staff...

G. B.

We found the corner house bistro in Athlone, it was wonderful experience of how a restaurant should be run. From start to finish we were treated to a fabulous service from our host and the waitress staff. The food was fantastic and presented very tastefully. I will be recommending this little gem to anyone looking for good food and wine. Can't wait to visit again 💕 Greg and Clare

k. l.

I was on the hunt for Granola for breakfast and came across Corner Bistro. What a lovely experience. The staff were delightful. I received a lovely warm welcome, seated and offered tea straight away and was given ample attention. What I loved most was the friendliness of the staff and hearing a lovely waitress sing along to the music played. And the granola was delicious! I left with a smile on my face - thank you for a lovely morning breakfast :)

P. H.

Great place for food coffee and seasonal gifts

C. D.

Staff were excellent and so was food

m. w.

The best duck salad ! Hope it's back on menu soon! Defo recommend this place - they ALWAYS have amazing soup as well! And brill customer service

D. P.

Great friendly staff. It's been a while since I last visited it has morphed from a great cafe to a casual bistro. However the constant is a creative Irish menu. Meals are nicely portioned amd reasonably priced

J. H.

Food was fabulous, very fresh and tasted great. You'll need to make a reservation as it's very popular. Staff were great and service was to be recommended. Thoroughly deserves 5 stars

C. M.

Staff were so so so friendly. Really really nice set up and great food! Would absolutely recommend. The cute set up sets you up nicely for the day with a positive head!

p. t. (.

Nice change from the usual sandwich places

B. O.

Thought it looked a little pricey when I first saw the menu. But lots of choice and can safely say that it was worth the price. Excellent food and friendly service. If it's within your budget you cannot go wrong. Highly recommended.

Food was lovely, service was excellent

Such friendly staff for breakfast this morning. Amazing pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Wish I took a picture! Cappuccino was average. Will be back!

J. T.

Fantastic food, well presented. They seems to be family friendly, lots of high chairs for kids and kids menu. Crayons and baby books for little ones as well. Really positive experience all together.

A. B.

Such delicious toasted wraps! Would highly recommend.

P. D.

Friendly and warm atmosphere. It doesn't matter if you coming for breakfast or quick bite - you'll feel relaxed welcome in this Bistro. Lovely coffee, quick service from happy waitresses. Recommended if you want to slow down and enjoy your moment with cup of coffee.

a. K.

visited the Corner House today with some very special friends from Dublin, Galway and Roscommon. The place was buzzing- the staff friendly, the food was really tasty and varied (my sesame chicken was delicious!). And there was an added surprise when the waitress brought us each a taster cup of beautiful carrot and coriander soup. All in all, a lovely way to spend part of your Saturday in Athlone. we ll be back!

R. A.

I usually don't write reviews of places I've been, mainly because I'm lazy. This one had to change that. It's easily the best restaurant I've eaten in Ireland, by far. The presentation, the variety, the kids options, the service. It's not possible to flaw anything. When you plan soon to leave again Dublin, drive 140 kms to Athlone just to have another chance to eat lunch here, there's not much to add. Brilliant

D. L.

Lovely food and service. Perfect to enjoy outdoor dining.

C. B.

Lovely place for lunch, maybe a bit more pricey than your average cafe but the food was well worth it and the servings very generous. The staff was great and had some toys and activities for kids which we welcomed.

J. O.

Great food. Lovely warm service as always..

A. M.

This is my favourite restaurant in Athlone, in fact maybe my favourite restaurant in general. The lunches here are delicious and they cater so well for celiacs. Best to get a downstairs table if you can, then sit back and enjoy the delicious and beautifully presented food. I recommend the scallops or the salmon. Oh, and the roulade for dessert. ❤

s. m.

Service was excellent. Breakfast was fantastic.

Lovely breakfast and the staff were so nice. The place was absolutely spotless. Will definitely come back.

P. Ó. C.

Though expensive the food is top class. The staff are very professional and yet very friendly. Scallops were probably the best I have eaten. Busy but calm.

B. C.

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. We love this place so very much! Please go by, eat some of their wonderful offerings and say hello from us. 😊

Q. L. C.

(Translated) Restaurant that does not look good but very good. The atmosphere is very calm and the servers are pleasant and the dishes are well presented. I recommend. (Original) Restaurant qui ne paye pas de mine mais très bon. L'ambiance est très calme et les serveurs son agréable et les assiettes sont bien présentées.je recommande.

(Translated) nice place, more busy at the bottom, but at the top you can eat in a vague atmosphere, unfortunately the food is not the best quality, whipped cream served to the scons was skis, irish breakfast very salty, unfortunately it was not eaten (Original) ładne miejsce, na dole bardziej busy, ale u góry mozna zjeść w klameralnej atmosferze, niestety jedzenie nie najlepszej jakości, bita smietana podana do sconsa była skisła, irish breakfast bardzo przesolony, takze niestety nie zostało zjedzone

S. G.

(Translated) I did not take a photo, but on those present, many of them are not correct ... I think that the restaurant has been redone recently (I was not in the upper room, the photos may come be there; p) - In any case, we eat very well! (Original) Je n'ai pas pris de photo, mais sur celles présentes, beaucoups de ne sont pas correcte ... Je pense que le restaurant a été refait récemment (Je n'ai pas été dans la salle du haut, les photos viennent peut-être de là ;p) - En tout cas, on y mange très bien !

I. S.

(Translated) We ate very tasty. Very kind service. It is important that the kitchen is closed elsewhere after 15:00, but here we were offered a very good menu. Prices for Irish democracy. Slowly space, but you can sit on the couch and wait for it to get free. (Original) Paēdām ļoti garšīgi. Ļoti laipni apkalpoja. Svarīgi ka laikā pēc 15:00 citur virtuve slēgta, bet šeit mums piedāvāja ļoti labu ēdienkarti. Cenas priekš Īrijas demokrātiskas. Pamaz vietas,bet var pasēdēt uz dīvāna un pagaidīt kad atbrīvosies.
