Restaurants in County Meath

  1. Poet’s Rest

    Fairtrade and organic foods top the bill at the Poet’s Rest, a deceptively simple little place serving up stylish, modern cuisine in relaxed surroundings. Although succulent meat and fish dishes feature strongly on the menu, there’s plenty of choice for vegetarians, and a mouth-watering array of desserts from the adjoining deli-patisserie – a great spot to pick up the makings for a gourmet picnic.

  2. Brogan’s Beacon

    This popular restaurant serves country-style comfort food for adoring locals. The menu is fairly predictable with hearty chicken, salmon and pasta dishes, the odd risotto and the usual array of steaks and burgers. It won’t win any awards, but may just satisfy a niggling craving. There’s also a bar menu for lighter snacks.

  3. Vanilla Pod

    Bright and modern but rather soulless, this restaurant in the Headfort Arms Hotel is independently run and features an ambitious bistro-style menu. The food is well-prepared and sourced locally, but for the best deal aim for the set three-course dinner at €21.95.
