We left Letterkenny the day after Paddys day to head or Dublin and while passing through Carrickmacross decided to stop off for a bite to eat. The only place that seemed to be open was the Fiddlers elbow, and what a find it was. On entering the premises we were shocked at how fantastic the décor was on the inside.... More

Such an amazing building - very unusual decor but very nice. Had dinner here last night and absolutely loved it. They had a musician on a baby grand piano and sometimes a guitar. The place was busy but not overly so. Food was amazing with large portion sizes and a good choice. We were tempted by the set menu at... More

After looking at a number of different venues for my daughter's 21st birthday party, we decided on The Fiddler's Elbow due to the excellent value package that they offer for such occasions. What we didn't expect was the amazing service that was also provided. From the first stages of planning the party, right through to picking up the cake and... More

Booked a meal for 14 for my sisters birthday. We got the 30euro meal deal, which included started, main course, dessert and free entry into Vanity Niteclub VIP. The food and service were fantastic, was a brilliant start to a brilliant night.

Booked a meal here with a large group on New Years Eve. The deal was €30 for a 4 course meal (starter, main, dessert, coffee or tea) which not only included entry in to the nightclub afterwards but also entry to the nightclubs VIP area! Usually with deals like this you expect either the food to not be particularly great... More

My last visit there was in early Dec just gone by. We all love this venue as it is very central for us as a group. Family come from... More

I am huge fan of fiddlers. I have been eating and socialising in it for over 3 years and it just keeps getting better every time I visit. From the moment you step through the doors, the warmth, welcome and surroundings you meet really invites you in and it feels like fine dining with that touch of cosey! Gorgeous decor... More
