It would appear that Julie Magan and Simon Mooney are taking over Mullingar. Following the increasing popularity of “iLia a Coffee Experience” and “iLia Gourmet” it was through a natural progression that the “Tapas & More” concept was developed by opening the Coffee shop in the evenings. However it soon became apparent that the high standard of food being served and growing customer demand dictated it would be necessary to move the operation to new premises, indeed booking is advisable at just about any time, such is it’s popularity.Julie has spent her life in the Restaurant & Hotel industry and her enthusiasm for good food being evident, following extensive research of the excellent Tapas bars of Europe and in particular, Spain, the idea was conceived. To turn the dream into reality a partnership was formed with Simon, who has worked locally from time to time over the years but developed his passion to become a top Chef by working in some of London’s top restaurants. This combination has created a new restaurant to match any in the industry and the front of house staff, led by manageress Miriama, ensures the quality food is served in a friendly, professional manner.
The restaurant is beautifully designed with a modern, trendy bar area, to enjoy your pre dinner drink as you browse through the menu and then dine in a modern, relaxed atmosphere.
The menu gives you the choice to order as much, or as little food as you wish, a Tapas selection or a full three course meal, to relax and enjoy the experience of good food, good wine in a warm friendly environment.
The wine list has been specially selected by experts who continually update our Staff on wine selection to compliment the food. This combined with an exciting International Tapas Menu and Main Course Selection offers a new dining experience in Mullingar.
Ilia tapas and more is a gem of a restaurant. The food is fabulous, service excellent it is no surprise the place is so popular.
