West in Bearna

This place was such a hidden gem. We found it last minute coming from Galway and managed to get a reservation. The service was great and the food was even better. The prime rib was honestly some of the best I’ve had great quality and cooked perfectly. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to soon.

Our favourite place for Sunday brunch. Amazing food and atmosphere. Highly recommended!
