Becketts Restaurant

This is always a treat. The food is always consistently good through all courses. The selection of starters always impresses me, lots of variety.
The staff just can’t do enough for you and the courses never feel rushed!
Top notch!

Wonderful, top class restaurant, with consistently good food. You really feel you’re in for a treat when you enter this restaurant as you are immediately welcomed, taken to your table — a table beautifully laid with stiffly starched white table linen (which I just love!), gleaming cutlery and glasses. You do get a real sense of treating yourself with such comfy and welcoming surroundings, lovey comfy chairs and the brightness of the restaurant which is located mostly in a conservatory area. I have eaten at this restaurant many times over the past ten years or more but never reviewed it till now and I feel it is definitely warranted! The menu has changed somewhat over the years, but they still do an excellent early bird. A group of five friends and myself thoroughly enjoyed a long and leisurely lunch there on Friday last, but we were very surprised that apart from another table of two, we were the only patrons during the whole 3 hours we spent there! Having said that, the staff were very attentive but did not rush us in any way between curses, in fact the atmosphere and ambiance was extremely relaxing. There was no set lunch menu as such but there was a fairly good, if rather limited a la carte menu which was fairly priced I would say, with starters from € 7.50 to € 10 and mains from about € 11.50 upwards. Our mains included chicken curry, various fish dishes and a vegetarian option. The desserts included a very humble apple pie, a rather good raspberry cheesecake and Eton mess — all courses were very ordinary dishes really, but beautifully served, freshly prepared and nicely presented. I understand they also provide accommodation and I feel an overnight stay would be very enjoyable in such a peaceful setting — yet only a very short distance from Lucan, Leixlip, Celbridge and of course the link to the M4 motorway.

I nearly drool when I think about how delicious the steak is in Becketts. The great thing about here I find is that although its 4 – 5 star hotel they still make the dining experience an affordable one by offering a really good early bird menu… wait for it…4 course meal for 27 euro! 4 euro supplement if you’re getting steak. The food is unreal and doesn’t come with pesky side portions… these bad boys are massive! I’ve had the steak once and the Fish Tempura the last time, batter so light it melts in your mouth and the side salsa was scrum. You nearly always have to book in advance because its always busy but its a lovely quiet spot to have a meal… AND the tables are not rammed together like some restaurants so you manage to catch up with pals or family with a lil privacy! top notch

This place has the most amazing food ever! Its super posh and fancy and is a great excuse to get all dolled up for a perfect meal. The menu is brilliant, with very modern, unusual dishes. Instead of chips, they have the best little seasoned potato cubes and I always feel like just gobbling the whole bowl! I always order their soup as its really homemade with lovely homemade brown bread. The service is brilliant, very prompt and friendly. Definetly reccommend coming here, one of my favourite spots! :)
