I went to Pimento's to see what Carlow had to offer regarding Tapas. I am from Bilbao, Spain and…read morewas travelling through Ireland with three of my friends. From the outset we could tell that this restaurant was far from "Tapas". Sliders on a menu??? Are you kidding me. We had the Patasas Bravas, it was cold and extremely dry. After we ordered Gambas al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp) and my god what I saw was a sight to behold. Buried beneath were 3 thick, curly, dark hairs. I notified the waiter immediately and she just laughed at me saying she'd bring me another, as if 3 hairs meant nothing, no apology or anything. I took this up with the lady manager when paying and she tried to tell us that they were our own hairs. This place is a sad excuse for a Tapas bar.

The two connecting dining rooms are amazing and cozy, with a big bar counter at the back, wine racks and a huge assortment of whimsical objects or artwork around the place. Upstairs there's a terrace where you can fully enjoy their tapas menu and maybe even go for a cocktail. There's a set dishes menu, a smaller tapas menu and also the specials of the day, written on a big blackboard - that our hostess kindly perched on a chair in front of our table, improptu style. In both fixed menus there are many vegetarian and/or gluten free options. The wine list was interesting enough, though not perfect. I managed to find a beautiful spanish Verdejo there, so that must count for something. We were served delicious food and the only thing I can point is that my vegetarian stuffed zucchini had a bit too much cheese, but other than that everything was good and their special of the day, salmon, was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately we were both too full to try the desserts, but at least we got to to wrap our lunch up with a nice espresso.

Loved the pacing of the meal, we had it over the course of three hours and didn't feel in any way rushed which was so lovely.

We sat by the window and was lovely to see out on to all the fabulous colourful barges on the canal. Will 100% be back and telling everyone about here! A+

There are ample sitting spaces in the main shop as well as upstairs. They also serve food like tapas, sandwiches, and other snacks. There's even an expresso bar. The best part is that because they are a wine bar you may request a complimentary sample of a wine and then purchase the bottle and drink it right there. Many wines are even 20% off or right around €10 for a bottle. We stopped in because it was raining but ended up finishing the whole bottle and even contemplated getting a second bottle but the weather had cleared so we were off to continue our sight seeing. Dangerously fun but strongly recommended.

Finally: A++ go get your coffee and food so you can go walk around Bray or even hike up that mountain.

It only holds about 15 people. But the food, coffee, and service is about as good as it gets. These people are passionate about what they do. I come specifically for the awesome vegan Caravaggio sandwich (on ciabatta). Everything is freshly made by them and unlike anything you will get anywhere else. Except maybe Italy! There are usually lots of Italian customers there, speaking Italian. This is a very good sign. The place is full of interesting old books people are free to browse. A quirk is an underlying 'cat' theme. Quotes and pictures about cats all over. Hand drawn images of cats by customers also adorn the walks, as to Italian record albums. I come way out of my way to come here regularly and will continue to as long as possible. Note: their fabulous bread selection comes fresh daily from the Firehouse bakery in Delgany.

Susan was astounded by the best fish and chips she has ever dined upon and I was pleased/impressed by the quality of the curry.

We called a few minutes before our arrival and the host graciously reserved a table for us, which was appreciated since they were dealing with a busy Saturday evening dinner service. For a starter, we shared an order of their smoked salmon salad, which came in a pretty display of mixed greens with feta and peeled orange, lightly dressed and sprinkled with freshly ground pepper, all anchored in a triangle of folded fillets and topped with crunchy fennel strips. It was refreshing to see that the bottom of the plate was practically dry after the last bite as opposed to the typical puddle of dressing in many restaurant salads. The dressing was citrus based, which provided a nice contrast to the salmon and cheese but the acidity took center stage to the rest of the flavors. My husband ordered for his entrée an 8 oz centre-cut fillet which came with a cornucopia of sides - a large, grilled flat cap mushroom, a slice of beefsteak tomato, onion rings, French fries and mashed potatoes. The peppercorn sauce was flavourful and had a nice non-pasty consistency. I was allowed to partake in the fries, which were beautifully done to a light golden exterior with fluffy interior and no after taste of over-used frying oil. Although the fillet was slightly undercooked (he asked for medium, and it came out medium rare), my husband found the dish generally satisfactory. My pan-fried fillets of seabass came on a bed of sauté mix - baby potatoes, roasted red pepper, greens, peas, shallots and fennel - a nice combination of raw nutty sweetness with some crunch to offset the buttery fish. Delicious! We wrapped up dinner with coffee and four scoops of ice cream to share (the 4th scoop was on the house!). Our entire dining experience was made extraordinary by the excellent service of the wait staff. They were professional and genuinely attentive. Definitely we'll return.
I love the food here. The carvery is just wonderful. It was…read morevery busy because it was lunch time but we were lucky enough to get a table. I was confused at the beginning, but the carvery is located at the back of the pub. You go there, pick your food and then go find a table. But if you want dessert or snack you order it from the menu (?). Anyway, they had a 2 courses meal for 13.95 - what I found a good deal. The roasted beef and the stuffing were really really good. I totally recommend it. The food comes in a big portion I nearly had no space left to dessert - but I had it in end! My friends had beef burritos (good) and fish from the carvery (boring). For dessert, death by chocolate. Man, lots of chocolate, I assure you. The staff were not that friendly (except from the lady at the cashier) but at least they worked fast.

The double deck burger was excellent, perfectly cooked in a brioche bun. The accompanying fries were excellent, or, at least those I had were, as my companion insisted on swiping them to go with her prawns.

After a quick look on the menu we both opted for the Croque Monsieur with fries. The service at this point was very efficient. Our lunch was served and looked amazing, served on little wooden boards with the fries in small tin buckets. A few bites in, I noticed how greasy the bread was - really disappointing as everything else was perfect! Ham was beautiful and the cheese was creamy and delightful! Following lunch we fancied a coffee and a cake. So we waited to order. And we waited, and waited and waited. Finally after 20 minutes we just got up, paid and left. In fairness they were all glued to the match, but not great when a paying customer feels like they're bothering you! I do adore Fallons though, so will make sure there is no football scheduled next time I pop in!
