Oar Restaurant in

The bread and butter were delicious! The steaks were closer to well-done instead of medium, but the duck was great!

Beautiful little room with a view of the Cliffs of Moher. I did not realize the quality of the restaurant when I booked it and Kieran got us in due to a cancellation and we were blown away. The experience of booking this place and having dinner is truly one we’ll remember for our entire lives. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and book again if I’m ever in western Ireland again. But be smarter than me and book the restaurant in advance!!

We had the most wonderful evening at The Oar in Doolin. From the moment we arrived, Kieran and the staff made us feel so welcome – the service was warm, attentive, and genuine. For starters, we enjoyed the summer salad and chicken liver pâté, both beautifully prepared with fresh, vibrant flavors. We paired our meal with a crisp Prosecco and a lovely glass of red wine, which complemented the dishes perfectly. For mains, the caramelised duck breast was simply outstanding – rich and perfectly balanced – while the salmon special was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. To finish, we shared the cheese board, which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The atmosphere, food, and service all came together to create an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended if you’re in Doolin – we can’t wait to return!

We had a wonderful evening at The Oar in Doolin. The place is gorgeous, the wine list fantastic, and the food… out of this world. Between the six of us we had nearly everything on the menu and loved it all. I had the summer salad, halibut and soufflé - every bite was amazing. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly. Kieran came over to chat with us - he's warm and charming, and made the night even more memorable. He’s created something truly special here.

Never stayed there, don't like the idea of no breakfast included or available. But..... Go for the dinner..... simply amazing.... it sounds expensive but when you experience it you'll realise what a steal your getting. Eat here several times now and so far haven't got a bad dish. Bad points... can be hard to hear yourself talk if the place is very busy. Parking not great so go early. Waiting staff are brilliant, and chef must sit at the right hand of God..... amazing product.

Amazing meal. Absolutely delicious. Staff are phenomenal. An absolute pleasure. Definitely returning.

Have eaten here on a few occasions. Kieran helps to set a relaxed atmosphere and Roxy was friendly, professional and mannerly. The food is excellent. Whatever your taste it is catered for. If you are dining as a couple or as a larger group all are catered for. Whether the restaurant is full or empty on your visit, the standard is the same. Highly recommended, excellent experience.

Dined there last night - fantastic food and great staff. They even catered with some creative vegetarian dishes for us. Kieran Was super friendly, as were all the staff. Food was perfectly cooked and presented. Only regret was that I shouldn’t have driven as they have an excellent wine list! Highly recommended

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.
