This place was amazing, for location, food and value. We booked a table and were lucky enough to get a window seat so had lovely views of the Garavogue river. The menu had a great range of options and was fantastic value for money with the early bird menu. The décor of the interior was delightful with swan motifs throughout and W.B. Yeats sprinkled liberally on the walls. We started with a demitasse of soup and complimentary bread, both of which were wonderful. For my starter I had a local beetroot carpaccio and Fivemiletown goats cheese fritters and for my main I had the duo of posh fish and chips which consisted of tempura battered fresh Atlantic cod with a cod caper croquette, garden pea purée, baby leaf salad and twice cooked fat chips. Both of these were incredibly good, as good as I’ve had. And for dessert, I had the carrot cake cookie ice cream sandwiches. This was not up to the previous standards of the night for me personally but this was probably my fault as it did say that the cookies were gluten free. Overall fantastic and a highly recommended option for Sligo town.

Eala Bhan offers great value, fantastic food and lovely views from its windows over the river. You can get three courses for € 20 with the Early Bird offer and the standard of the food at this price is excellent. We were even treated to a lovely little amuse bouche of swede and bacon soup… tres tasty! The fish dish I had was delicious; the salt cod and caper croquette added a nice twist on the classic and the chips were chunky and fluffy and crispy… perfect really! The milk chocolate cheesecake for dessert was devilishly indulgent but lighter than it looked. Would definitely recommend if you happen to find yourself in Sligo town on the banks of the Garavogue hungering for a good meal.

Beautiful food, excellent quality, value and service. Had early bird set menu here, and at 19.99 for 3 courses it was amazing value. The food was of a high standard. Waitress was very helpful and pleasant. Nice décor. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back on my next visit to Sligo!

This was a complete surprise. In Sligo on a big festival weekend and had no advance knowledge. Picked Eala Bhan on a whim. We were blown away. First surprise was a demitasse of amazing soup. Complimentary, served with the bread. The duck trio starter was very good. The mushroom encroute beyond good. My wife. Who is a great pastry chef said the pastry was better than anything she could make(I am writing for the recipe). The sea bass was exceptional and the salmon, said my wife, the best she had ever eaten. The service was perfect then at the end of the evening the proprietor. Introduced himself and chatted for a few minutes with good suggestions for other good destinations. We live in Ireland and are accustomed to good meals. This was exceptional and good value.

Great restaurant. We went in here for lunch on Saturday and all five of us got excellent meals. Pricing was very reasonable too, the duck confit and the chicken salad were both under € 7, not that the quality suffered from it at all. The place is in a nice location and it’s well laid out and with a nice, relaxing atmosphere. It’s still quite new and I hope its here to stay, I look forward to returning and trying more of their menu.
