My wife and I had a 9pm booking on Saturday night (15.6.13) We were shown to a table upstairs and left for fifteen minutes before a waitress arrived to take our order. There doesn't seem to be enough serving staff to ask if you would like a drink, before you look at the menu. Ordered the wings and nachos for... More

This restaurant is such a gem! Good location and you even get a free parking spot right outside the restaurant, or anywhere near the street. We were greeted with friendly smiles and such an open and relaxing atmosphere to dine in. We were there for lunch and they weren't too busy to accommodate us. Risotto was beautifully made as well...

I have been hearing a lot of good stories about the Avenue Cafe in Maynooth so I decided to give it a try. The Avenue is located right at the start of the main street in bustling Maynooth. While it doesnt have a car park that I know of you could try for on street park but even better is... More

Visited Friday 10 th may to this popular busy restaurant . Excellent service from start to finish . I agreed with the other reviews about the menu not changing but although the favourites are listed the way their served and presented has changed. We nearly always order the same starters or mains and are never disappointed . Tried some craft... More

By complete chance we received a local recommendation for the Avenue Cafe. What a find! My wife and I could not fault anything about this busy but efficient restaurant. Although some of the offerings appeared pricey, they were great value. The chicken wings were to die for. The main courses served were excellent. The desserts were better again and with... More

I have eaten in Avenue many times since it first opened its doors! The food, staff, location and cleanliness cannot be faulted! I would definitely recommend it as a place for lunch or dinner. My only complaint would be that I know the menu by heart. Whilst I am a believer in "if its not broke don't fix it" motto... More

I recently had a three course meal, wine and coffee for 40 euro including tip. Early bird Special. Deep fried Brie, Battered smoked haddock, profiteroles and it was amazing. The place was heaving at half six!!! I will definitely be back !

Pretty good place for small and plugged into the Main Street in Maynooth. I had the chicken with potatoes, spinach, and tomatoes. I ate everything. Normal I eat the main part of dish and the main side, but everything on my plate was cooked wonderfully and tasted awesome. $20 plates, can't complain for Ireland!!!
