Caffe Formenti
This buzzing cafe combines the talents of an Irish-Italian husband-and-wife team. In addition to daily lunch specials and wholesome soups, there's a tempting selection of Italian pastries, freshly made gelati (yum!) and aromatic coffees.

Lautrec’s Brasserie
The Carlow branch of the Kilkenny original, the candlelit Lautrec’s is named after the artist (replete with his poster of the red-scarf-clad chansonnier Aristide Bruant mounted on the roof). Creative bistro fare includes monkfish and tiger prawn curry, or Cajun blackened salmon.

Beams Restaurant
Housed in an 18th-century coach house replete with massive wooden beams, this one-day-a-week charmer is undoubtedly the county's best source for finely crafted exquisite French cuisine, albeit with an Irish accent. The extensive wine list draws on the stock of the subsidiary wine shop.

Hennessy's Fine Foods
A worthy stop for a meal or a gourmet grocery picnic (local cheeses, red onion marmalade, chilli jam, red pepper pesto and so on). The vast range of savoury baked goods are filling treats.

Lennons
Carlow's best dining is found amid the artsy surrounds of Visual. It's a sleek and appropriately stylish space, with a wide patio outside where you can see sculpture on the college's grassy grounds. Lunch features creative sandwiches, salads and hot specials. Dinner is more refined with a seasonal menu that emphasises the organic. Excellent wine list and a chic bar area.
