The willow tree restaurant clifden in Clifden

20/08/2025: Very pleasant setting. The service is attentive and very friendly. I recommend the lamb, which is very good, with all the accompanying dishes at no extra charge. In short, very good.

14/08/2025: The Marconi feels like stepping back to a time when Irish hotels exuded hospitality and generosity. The food was simple and well executed, with enormous dinner portions. Bread basket was a lovely selection of spiced, tomato and brown breads. I asked for more. My main was the largest duck serving ever created. Certainly more than one breast and possibly more than one duck! The sides were potato dauphinoise, potato fries and steamed veg. The starters were a mixed bag - duck spring roll was dry but nice enough. The mussels had a wonderful coconut broth and the cheese options were generous and tasty. The main gripe was the under-saucing of every dish - large portions need appropriate sauces. We ate in the garden room, at a table tucked away around the corner, next to the windows and was great spot.
