Paudie's Bar in An daingean

19/03/2026: I was here for the second time today, once to get something sweet and once to get something savory. For the sweet treat, I had a chocolate brownie with some ice cream and was absolutely delighted: incredibly delicious and melted in your mouth, no complaints there. However, I was only moderately impressed with the lunch. Aside from the fact that most of the menu consisted of seafood with fries (which isn't a criticism, just an observation), I ordered a salad with salmon. Somehow, I had imagined the salad a bit differently, as it was described as a "Smoked Salmon Salad" and ultimately arrived as a separate salad with some bread alongside the sliced ​​salmon. But that's probably more due to my own expectations than the dish itself. What prompted my review, though, was that I discovered two moldy blueberries in my salad. To be honest, that completely put me off my food. I reported it immediately, and they offered a brief apology, but it came across as rather annoyed, which I found disappointing in retrospect. The service was otherwise fine, as everyone was quite friendly. Price-wise, I think the desserts were reasonable, but the salad was, in my opinion, too expensive for what was actually on the plate. Therefore, I would only really recommend it for the desserts (perhaps the fish and chips are better, but unfortunately I didn't try them and can't comment on that). Hope this helps a little :)

03/02/2026: Really good fish and chips – fresh, crispy fish and overall delicious. The fries could have used a bit more crunch and salt, and the fish was a bit greasy. The Remo wasn't anything special, but it was good. Service was a bit disorganized and the atmosphere a bit loud and uncomfortable. Overall, though, a solid place for fish and chips.
