Fallons Bar & Cafe

I absolutely adore this restaurant! Perfect place to get lost on a Saturday afternoon! Beautiful in the winter with the open fire roaring
We were here this past Saturday for lunch and were seated immediately despite how busy they were.
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!

Superb! I have been there twice and it has been delicious both times. The Chowder is the best I have ever had. The Cesar salad is very tasty. The fish & Chips are perfect. Definitely worth a trip! The staff are very friendly and the service is great.

This is about my 5^th visit here but never for lunch strangely. Normally its been when Ive been attending a show in the town hall theater located across the road. Its on the Naas side of the river in case your wondering. The décor is shabby chic and a bit old French perhaps. The staff were run off their feet but still managed to be completely professional well informed of their product and absolutely lovely. The manager or owner jumped up to take our order at one point and even delivered it himself. Nothing like seeing a manager sitting on his backside when the staff are flat out to wind me up but surprisingly it happens a lot in Ireland.
The food we had today was goats cheese with onion marmalade on a focaccia bread, fabulous and surprisingly filling. 2 of us had the homemade GF vegetable soup to start. Its serviced with non GF bread which is a bit disappointing that they don’t offer GF bread at all as they do have several items on the menu containing bread so the choice was limited in that section. The soup was the best Ive had in years in Ireland. My son had the Croque monsieur sandwich which is the French version of a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. While it was lovely and he really enjoyed it, it wasn’t the correct recipe and the advertised sauce did not come on it. So really we paid 6.50 for a ham and cheese toastie which is steep. Nice but not what we ordered. My mum had a starter which she loved and we all had tea or coffee. She also had the chocolate biscuit cake which she said was the best she’s had in years. Perfect mix of chocolate and biscuit. I am very picky about my espresso macchiato, the waitress looked at me blankly so I gave her the 2 second direction on how to make it and seriously there must have been someone back there who knew how to make it cause I cant be that good a teacher. Perfection and the coffee brand they use, lovely also.
All in all an excellent choice. I don’t live in Kilcullen and my mum lives in Naas so we both drove here especially for lunch and it was a great choice. It put me in the good books as neither my mum or son had eaten here before and both said they will return and recommend.
The service wasn’t as good on the other occasions I’ve visited so I was lucky I know but that’s everywhere. On the downside and its the only thing, Kids allowed to run wild in the place as parents sit oblivious. Yes its a restaurant but also a bar. Staff walking around with hot dishes soup and coffee not really good and I don’t want to be subjected to anyone else s children no matter how cute they might be. I hear Sunday is a nightmare and like a zoo so I wont ever eat there on a Sunday. I do wish the management would stand up to parents with kids like this as its loosing custom because of it.
