The Lamplight Wine Bar and Merchants in Clifden

Excellent tapas, coffee and cocktails. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Spouse got a haircut next door.

We went to the restaurant and it was just okay. Service was hit and miss. They forgot a snack and we had to ask for our wine after about 20 minutes. The pasta was good but the goats cheese salad wasn't great. The lemon tart was served warm, which was a first and something I hope I never come across again. The wine list wasn't as extensive as I would have hoped. Overall it was so so.

We were traveling as a couple and booked through hotels.com. The B&B is a bit hidden next to/behind the restaurant. Check-in was uncomplicated, if a bit unprofessional. Unfortunately there is no elevator and the stairwell is very narrow. Everything is nicely decorated. The rooms are small but ok. Unfortunately, the cistern never worked for us and the cistern only rarely worked. The remote control for the TV couldn't be found either. The morning meal is set up as a small buffet at the bar and has everything you need.

This is the best restaurant in clifden! We came for dinner here five nights in a row. 👍🫶It’s owned by a lovely family, very warm and welcoming. The food is elevated but not overpriced and the quality and flavors are great. The chef is Italian so the pasta dishes are amazing and very authentic— definitely try the seafood pasta if you go :)

Breakfast time is too late. (9 am) Other than that everything was fine

Great place! Love their food!!!

Just stopped by for coffee's for two. Very nice.

We are just heading home from a lovely weekend visiting friends in Clifden and we got recommended The Ivy for food. What a lovely place this is. We actually ended up having brunch and later dinner. The food is really delicious. Hats off to the chef. In the evening we had the tapas menu, we can highly recommend the mushroom ravioli with champagne sauce and the braised beef cheek. Adults and kids were happy. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Love the feel of the place and the decor. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Clifden.

Only here for breakfast and dinner, both at another level.. staff, service, atmosphere outstanding but the food was exceptional. Buonissimo, just wonderful!
