O’Dowd’s in Roundstone

Very cute, for a short but tasty Lunch.

Amazing place to stop for a snack!

Great restaurant. Lovely quaint spot. Great staff.

I realise this is the low season but was very disappointed with the quality of food and drink here. The two young ladies serving were really welcoming and friendly, although we waited a fair while for our order to arrive. We were the only people in here although a couple arrived a few minutes after us and their order came first! The view is truly stunning from the upper floor. We had two fruit smoothies: I'm almost certain they were just frozen fruits as they tasted just like what you'd make at home with a Tesco mixed berry mix. At €5.50 each, I guess I just expected them to be fresh. Like I say, it's not the high season so perhaps that's why as I've seen that they say they source local produce/grow their own normally. The two raisin scones were nice but I think they had been microwaved to warm up which meant they'd gone dry with a dense texture. Very ungenerous with the butter and jam: 1 small individual butter portion per scone and a heaped teaspoon of jam (which was very tasty). I did ask for more of each but they'd run out of jam, so perhaps that's explains the meagre portion. €3.50 each. All in all, I wouldn't be returning, even for the view. I've given 4* overall to reflect poor food but very nice staff and excellent surroundings.

Pleasant lunch here and a good pint. Service was excellent

Typical pub-restaurant with a nice local menu and reasonable prices. Predominantly seafood products, nicely cooked and with a touch of modernity. Local beers on tap and a nice choice of bottled beers, again local. Beautiful view of the port as a bonus.

Food was amazing, had the crab claws and scallops was just delicious! Staff were so kind and helpful also! The views from the front of restaurant are beautiful! Sadly took no photos of the food to post tho:( but will be back

Nice food and great vibes! Service is so warm! The chowder was great.

oysters were back,. and. delicious grilled with breadcrumbs and garlic butter. I need more. A grey damp. off-season day, wonderful. NOW back in. June 2024, excellent as ever, but prefer it off season. and returned 24Oct2024. Off season is best, and thankfully it stays open.

Always lovely to drop in for a pint and a bowl of chowder... Excellent spot...
