Oar Restaurant in

We ate at Oar on our recent trip to Doolin and it was fantastic. Kieran and his team were very both professional and enthusiastic about their food and their work. All of the food (as well as the wine we had) was presented beautifully and was delicious. Definitely 5 Stars and recommend.

We celebrated a family members milestone birthday at Oar last night and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kieran and his team run an exceptional restaurant where every detail is clearly driven by passion and care. The food was fresh and outstanding (the salad starter is a must!), the service warm and attentive, and the atmosphere perfectly relaxed. It’s a place that values quality and genuinely cares about each guest’s experience. Oar fully deserves every award it’s received – and then some. Highly recommended!

We went to this place on a recommendation and I have to tell you that it was completely worth it. Go there, the host is an absolutely friendly, charming gentleman who takes time for every guest. His service employees are friendly and open-minded. Due to time constraints, we weren't really dressed appropriately, but the service didn't interest us; we were served really well. The food will probably soon deserve the 1st Michellin star, we had salmon that was cooked souvide and briefly fried, I can only write you one word about it, "A poem". The kitchen can easily do fish, the amuse bouche was delicious, the intermediate course was perfect. The wine list is honest and varied, not run-of-the-mill, there was wine from regions that I wouldn't have expected. Here too, let the competent service advise you and be brave to try something new. Your taste buds will thank you. There is a small downer, certain creations are too creative and the dish loses its true story. But even this negative point is denounced at a very high level. The cheese plate as a dessert is a beautiful composition of regional cheeses The price-performance ratio is right. Thanks to the Oar for the unforgettable evening. Go and stay a few days in Doolin, that's Ireland. Unfortunately I can't comment on the hotel itself as it was already fully booked when we visited. But if it's anything like the restaurant, they probably can't do anything wrong.

Great experience here this week. A must for anyone on tour in the area.

5 star !! I had a wonderful experience at Oar. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for a relaxed meal. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food (thank you to Chef Sepo) and great service. I’m definitely coming back!

Absolutely terrific restaurant and- pro tip- they have a handful of rooms upstairs, so book ahead & you can fall up the stairs after a superb meal. Short menu, perfectly executed. Creative, imaginative, delicious food is served in a dining room that feels like a clean, crisp glass of sauvignon blanc. They had a "Crab Cannoli" just coming on the menu for spring- don't miss it. Ditto the new season lamb. Ditto ditto the soufflé. Actually, everything was excellent- you can't go wrong.

Excellent meal, food flavorful and good use of local produce. Staff attentive and friendly. Proprietor, kieran, professional and a pleasure to meet. Must easily be best restaurant in Doolin area.

Top-tier food, wine and service in an unpretentious, warm ambience. Worth a trip out of your way. Owner Kieran is gregarious and passionate about his business as well as the customer experience. We hope to be back soon!

Stayed there 1 night. Great room, slept like a stone. The owner was very helpful and service oriented. Was there on a Monday so unfortunately didn’t get to try the restaurant.

Stunning and spectacular meal! Kieran was a gent and so welcoming. A gem of a restaurant.
