Easter is only a few days away, and traditionally roast lamb is served on Easter Sunday.

Supermac's is probably not the first place that springs to mind when you think about popping out to pick up a salad, but that is just about to change.

Millennium Restaurant on Oliver Plunkett Street in Mullingar is Osman Kocadag’s second eaterie in Westmeath, the other being his restaurant of the same name in Moate. On arrival at lunchtime, on a miserable, wild afternoon, the restaurant promises a lot from its stylish exterior to bright pastel, cream, red and soft wood combinations. It is a comfortable restaurant with upbeat eclectic music running a loop with enough room to simultaneously be attractive to a couple looking for a quiet table or a family relaxing at a get-together. It is also a buffer to the raging storm outside.
