I have eaten in Room 8 a few times for lunch & couldn't fault it. The food & service is "always" fantastic! Last night I went for an evening meal for the first time at Room 8 & Wow! I did know it was going to be good because the day time food is lovely but I was blown away. The food was amazing, I had the best fillet steak (cooked to perfection) I ever had in Navan last night & the service wouldn't look out of place in a Michelin star restaurant! Fantastic ambience, with romantic candles & small little details everywhere you look. I will be back very soon! Highly recommend Room 8, 5 stars
OUTSTANDING!!
I have just turned vegan from vegetarian, and my 5 friends are all meat & fish eaters - and they were not disappointed either. Quite the opposite. The challenge for me as a new vegan when dining out, is I don't want to be a burden on a chef and the waiting staff. I mentioned when booking one of us was a vegan, which they advised was no problem, and told me they would call me that day to verify meal. True to their word, they called to check if I had any allergies. Upon sitting, I was incredibly surprised (and delighted!) to have the lovely waitress come to the table discreetly to show me a handwritten vegan menu with choice of 2 starters, 2 main course, and 2 vegan desserts! I opted for the mushroom starter cooked with beautiful flavours and a homemade sourdough bread - so so tasty, and lovely and light as a starter.
Next I opted for the Thai red curry with chickpeas, courgette and other veg, with mixed colour rice. It was simply beautiful - no tinned chickpeas here (if they were, I need to find out what brand, as I soak my own at home).
Finally the dessert was either a mango sorbet or a chocolate avocado mousse. It was Outstanding! A large portion so although I only ate half of it, it wasn't for lack of desire for it.
I was so impressed with the chef and waiting staff's special effort to accommodate me, so THANK YOU Room 8 team - outstanding meal, decor, ambiance.
I've already booked my next meal for December. Highly recommend. Well done guys! My omnivore friends were equally delighted with their fare - go here soon! 😀
I cannot say enough about the the experience we just had at room 8. I am vegan and contacted the restaurant to ask what was available for me and instead of the usual offering from many establishments of vegtable soup, vegetable stir fry and fruit salad, I was pleasantly surprised with a fantastic falafel salad, a spicy aromatic Thai sweet potato and chickpea curry all topped off by a chocolate avocado mouse dedicatedly sprinkled with hazlenuts accompanied by a blood orange sorbet to die for, heaven! My husband had some yummy sticky spicy wings and superbly cooked and very fresh pan fried seabass with a gorgeous light green leafy salad on the side, he stole half of my dessert. Add to all of this the friendly, bubbly very helpful table staff and you've got a winning combo. Just book a table now!!!
