Pier Head in Kinvara

Enjoyed lunch here on a drive from Galway to Doolin. Kinvarra is only about 15 mins from Galway but such a pretty place to stop and take a stroll after getting out of the traffic in the town and the best option on that part of the coast road.

Downstairs can get very noisy, pub atmosphere. However, upstairs is quiet and you have the most beautiful views. Food is simple but very fresh and carefully cooked. Generous portions.

Great service and great location. The grilled host cheese was delicious.

Staff and entertainment amazing

We went there twice, it was simply great, highly recommended!

We always like having a meal at the Pier Head Restaurant.Last Sunday the woman that served our table had no manners whatsoever and I was told that she is a native to the area.We won't be going back ever again.When you go to a Restaurant you don't expect to be insulted and get a children's menu and waiting for a very long time to be served by someone that would eat you without salt.The most ignorant person that I ever witnessed in the Catering business.

We came here when staying close by and after a day out exploring. We hadn’t booked but they were able to seat us in the bar area. Would recommended the Thai Steamed Seafood Pot. Lovely setting.

The place is great, but the waiters are mostly unprofessional. The food is normal, but not the best. I hope that they will find better waiters. The bar is another matter, the guys are smarter there

Loved the food with local sea food!

This is a lovely restaurant with fabulous sea views. We were glad that we had booked, it was packed on a Saturday night. It very much has a nautical theme with lots of bits and bobs strewn around the place. We were seated in the larger of the downstairs rooms in a fabulous window table. We shared mussels to start, a very generous portion, we both had the sea bass fillets for our mains served with a delectable white wine sauce, we chose jacket potato and salad as our accompaniments, it was so good, the fish perfectly cooked and again a generous portion. Whilst we absolutely didn’t need it, we shared the most delicious pavlova, a huge portion. There’s one thing for sure you won’t leave the Pier Head hungry. Great location, food, service and a very reasonable bill. What’s not to like? Highly recommended.
