The Village Inn, Bar and Restaurant, Ballinahown — Restaurant in County Westmeath

On a recent trip to Clonmacnoise we stopped off in Ballinahown at The Village Inn . What a nice Bar and Bistro . We had a lovely lunch in the outdoor seating area , I had Pork Belly on a bed of White beans , it was melt in your mouth , my friend had Salmon Gravalax and a side order of sweet potato fries, which she was very happy with , they also offer burgers and pizzas . We were tempted by the desserts , I had a delicious brownie with some ice cream and my friend had a caramel mousse , both were yummy. A great place to stop on the way to the west , even worth a detour , dog friendly too , what’s not to like 👍🏻, look forward...

Best of the best. Great menu, well prepared, exceptional quality, starters and mains. Short but great wine-list. Top class table service and front of house. Very good value for a top quality experience. Lovely facilities - discrete but effective CoVid controls. The whole place seems freshly refurbished - very tasty decor, super welcoming, beautiful fittings. Worth a drive from Athlone, Tullamore or Mullingar. I can see this place getting rave reviews...
