The best restaurants

03/11/2024: We visited apparently on the last weekday they would be open for the year, and weekday service will continue in January. We got lucky! As you arrive at the Trump International Golf Resort you are warmly received by a finely dressed gentleman at the gate house. He called ahead and announced our arrival for lunch, gave us directions, instructed us where to park. The staff of the bar and restaurant were waiting for us, menus in hand. They were preparing for Halloween and there were lovely arrangements of pumpkins. We were seated at a corner table that had two windows on each side that allowed for a wonderful view of the ocean, beach and a part of the golf course. Started the lunch with drinks, the men had Guinness, and I had what I considered the best Bloody Mary made from fresh ingredients and not a mix. I chose the Salt and Chili calamari, which was on a salad/slaw which was tangy delicious. My husband had the shrimp tacos. Being from Texas we are usually very skeptical of any taco in another country, but this did not disappoint. I stole a few bites, as well as a few of the most perfect French fries which were crispy goodness. The staff were absolutely perfect, the ambiance was elevated Irish pub with a seaside twist. I am very glad we took the chance and drove the hour from the Shannon Airport area. After lunch we strolled the beautiful beach! We had the beach to ourselves which was extra special. From the beach as you look out at the water you can see the Cliffs of Moher. If you had all day, you could visit the cliffs and the Trump Bar & Restaurant. Next time we visit, I would like to spend a night or two at the resort. But for a daytime visit you really cannot ask for anything more!

24/08/2024: Popped in for a drink as we were staying nearby. Beautiful setting, nice bar/restaurant area. Lovely staff, friendly & very efficient.

01/01/2025: Mary and Gerry are great hosts. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast delicious. The house was lovingly decorated for Christmas . Great location too for access to the Connemara. Warmly recommended

22/11/2024: Super friendly owners and lovely big comfortable room. I would definitely stay here again.

29/11/2024: Complete dirt, even after a few pints I threw it in the bin. Shredded salt and chilli chicken was like beef jerky , beef curry crap, avoid.

17/01/2025: Chips are an absolute disgrace, couldn't eat them. Been here most Fridays, sometimes they are good, but the majority of the time they are horrendous

30/06/2024: The stater was amazing and The food was delicious definitely recommend and staff was friendly and my friends like there food they came whole the way up from Dublin

20/08/2023: When we walked in people who works there where with the big smiles 👍... I had that feeling that we are very welcome 🙏 recommend this place if you want to have good time ... Next time will go there earlier to try the food ... heard that it is good too. 👌

20/08/2023: Nice personal and good quiet place.

22/09/2024: It was a weekend & we happened to overnight nearby so headed to Blackwater bay recommended by the guesthouse. We searched the area for a traditional restaurant but ended up going to Te Black Wok. We were certainly not disappointed...Good quality & good Asian Food @ Reasonable Prices despite proper linen table cloths & napkins & great service. We were delighted as we didnt expect that standard as often chinese/Asian restaurants are rather plasticy. Food was much higher standard than normal. Again a good telltale is the number of people waiting for associated takeaways. We would certainly go back

01/09/2024: I was charged €23 for a 10 inch munchie box and €9.50 for a spice bag. Once we got it the majority was chips … very little chicken at all in it. When I rang to complain they didn’t understand what I was trying to say so they got the boss to give me a call back. They requested the food back but we were out of the town and had the food eaten. They said they couldn’t do anything about it and that was their portion sizes. Never paid as much for a munchie box in my life or should I say a box of chips!! I will not be back in this place. Absolute disgrace
