Looking for somewhere family friendly to eat in Roscommon? Here is our pick of the best child friendly restaurants in Roscommon.

In our experience buggies are rarely welcome anywhere. Some places will take buggies from you at the door, others will quite simply refuse you entry.  So when possible if dining out with a young baby bring the car-seat and with an older baby or toddler you will find high chairs / booster seats in any child friendly eatery. Here’s what we think makes a restaurant child friendly.

Lakeside Café Lough Key, Roscommon

Revive & re-energise in The Lakeside Café, at Lough Key Forest & Activity Park, where you can enjoy gourmet fair-trade coffee & tea with some homemade sweet & savoury delights, overlooking the beautiful vista of Castle Island & Lough Key.
