Eala Bhán is located in the heart of Sligo Town on a beautiful stretch of the Garavogue River. The décor here has a cool urban brasserie bistro feel with dark wood floors, subtle lighting, well-spaced tables, and it is a place in which there is always a buzz.
The food is classic with a contemporary twist and offers everything you could possibly want. All of the local seafood is hand-selected and artistically prepared to perfection. All of the steak cuts stand tall with the superb flavour of aged beef that is cooked to your liking. Produce is organic whenever possible, sourced from local suppliers and direct form local producers.
The name Eala Bhán is gaelic for “White Swan”. These beautiful birds can often be seen from the two main windows of the restaurant and they often frequent the Garavogue River that runs alongside the restaurant.
Our sister establishment, also located in the heart of the city, Hooked restaurant Sligo also offers excellent local produce, with a more casual dining experience.
