Vaughan's Anchor Inn in Liscannor

I dined here at the weekend and had the best experience. The staff are fantastic; very, very professional and welcoming. The decor is nice and modern, and the food is without a doubt Michelin star worthy, more than worthy, as you can see from the pictures. Well worth a visit here. My only gripe was the cocktails, they were not traditionally made.. for example the whiskey sour was missing bitters and the old fashioned was fizzy. I have never had a fizzy old fashioned, and I would not have ordered it had I known it would be carbonated. The drinks menu should reflect what cocktails you have on offer, in addition to your own spin on drinks. However, still 5 stars, I had a lovely time here.

I never expected to eat so well behind that facade. We stopped by by chance after visiting the cliffs, and the food was spectacular. Don't expect a typical pub... this is a high-end restaurant... Enjoy!

We visited Vaughans Anchor Inn for a celebratory family dinner on a Friday evening. On arrival we received a warm welcome and swiftly sat at our table within one of the ample booths. The venue is super smart and immaculate along with the team which were also knowledgeable and super helpful. These days it’s hard to find well trained and well groomed team as here 👍🏼. The menu is short and centred around fish although there was a steak for the carnivores. The wine list is magnificent with all ‘the big guns’ represented someone knows thier stuff here. We didn’t venture too far down the list as half of our party were getting tucked into the very well kept/poured Guinness…The unoaked Californian Chardonnay was great and good value. From the complimentary muse buche of tomato soup to the oysters, lobster tail, John Dory, Fish and chips all were top quality, cooked with love and delicious. Our Irish host stating it’s the best Fish and chips he’s ever eaten! I have to compliment the coconut and pineapple Panna cotta as being lactose intolerant I can seldom find any dessert on restaurant menus. Thank you chef it was a real treat! At The Anchor Inn you can have a drink in the bar or on the large terrace at the front. Or like us a splendid meal. Thank you team loved it. Approx €80 a head

Fantastic food, absolutely delicious! And moreover caeliac friendly - gluten free! Highly recommend

We only visited the restaurant and had the best fish and chips ever

Service was great. However the food was quite underwhelming and not a true reflection of the price. There’s better seafood bars not too far away from this one.

Excellent restaurant serving the freshest of sea food! Impressive wine menu too! Customer service from Keith is top notch! Will be back soon!

The finest fish and chips you will find!

We were recently in Vaughans for a family dinner during a family break in Clare - 8 people over 3 generations - it’s not our 1st time here ! We came back for more having had a super meal here a couple of years ago - the menu is predominantly fish .. but steak on the menu too. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 courses - the scallops were delicious and the monkfish, halibut & steak deserve a special mention too. All delicious - Spoonies Icecream on the desert menu with yuzu caramel was a firm favourite- service was very efficient but not the friendliest waiter - a smile here or there would not have went a stray ! But that is our only criticism. We thoroughly enjoyed & highly recommend this spot for dinner.
