12/05/2026: Great bar food. I had the burger and it was delicious. My wife was happy with her fish and chips.

21/04/2026: Cosy, lovely cottage restaurant that serves amazing food. One of the best meal I had in Ireland. Staff were fantastic. Highly recommend!

20/04/2026: Had a lovely lunch with my family last Sunday at The Ivy Cottage. Food was amazing, fish and chips with a light batter and so tasty! Chowder and Crab Claw were also so special. We bought a loaf of the bread they serve with the Chowder, a soda bread with different spices, so tasty! Staff was beyond friendly, so kind and efficient! We felt very welcomed specially because they were so kind to our little doggy.

27/11/2025: This is a big cold, but they have the best sausage roll in all of Ireland. No greasy, or cheap sausage meat…full of rich flavour and delicious flaky pastry. The Portuguese Pastel de Nata, straight out of the oven was better than any I have had in Portugal…well at least as good as! Great coffee as well! Friendly people!

30/10/2025: Pleasant surprise finding baked goods of such high quality in such a small town, great coffee too!

30/03/2026: Delicious food, fantastic customer service and the atmosphere was very welcoming.

17/04/2026: Exceptional local seafood and in house brews.

11/04/2026: 2nd time here. The food is of the highest quality. The piece of fish given in the fish and chips option is so generous and it’s that generosity and the quality of the grub that makes this my favorite pub/restaurant in Ireland.

06/05/2026: We only had dinner there it was sensational, the food and service was excellent. Can highly recommend

21/03/2026: The best pub in this little town. Atmosphere and live music was great and the workers/owner are all so lovely and welcoming, they also do good cocktails which pleasantly surprised us as its got such a traditional Irish pub feel.

20/03/2026: The GOAT of Seafood chowders! Class mussels and creamy Guinness

04/05/2026: A nice restaurant, the wine list was a little underwhelming.

01/05/2026: We visited Henry's Bistro the first night of our arrival in Ennis. We listened to some early hours trad music then decided to have dinner. Henry's is highly rated, so we decided to see if we could get in without a reservation on this rainy Thursday. Fortunately, we did. Now, I could carry on about the excellent seafood chowder, wonderful bread or scrumptious apple tart, but my husband and I both delighted in the feather blade beef braised in red wine. This isn't a cut we see in California, and although Google will tell you it is flank steak--it is not. This lovely piece of grass-fed and finished local Hereford is from the upper shoulder and it was amazing. The portions were really generous. We had the fixed price menu with a bottle of wine from a curated wine list. If you're in Ennis and looking for something that's maybe not traditional Irish food but truly exceptional locally raised food, this is the place you want to go.

06/05/2026: Had a wonderful dinner with family, the food was absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked halibut, scallops and fish. Service was excellent, and we underestimated the restaurant!

30/04/2026: We went to the restaurant. The food and prices were average, but the service was unfortunately rude. Maybe we just had a bad experience.

26/02/2026: The best place I've ever been lucky enough to eat at in Ireland. Good food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere, plus it's very convenient to get to. Recommended.

27/01/2026: Lovely spot! Clean and welcoming from the moment you walk in, with gorgeous flowers out front. Great atmosphere, delicious food, a lovely menu with tasty daily specials. Can’t wait to return!

04/05/2026: Had such a lovely time at The Monk’s Well yesterday for day two of my friend’s wedding. Geraldine was lovely & a great host to us and ensured for a great evening. The atmosphere was brilliant—really relaxed and full of good vibes. The Barn area was the perfect spot to host us & give us the space to continue the celebrations! The evening food platters & freshly baked pizzas were absolutely delicious, and the staff & service were amazing! We wanted for nothing! Would definitely recommend as a venue for a great get-together! Will Definitely be back for future occasions. Many many thanks!

04/05/2026: Had a lovely day here. Very pleasant surroundings lovely staff and great food . I will definitely be returning.

16/04/2026: I didn’t get anything crazy just a salad which I thought wasn’t half bad! My friend got the soup of the day (vegetable— she wasn’t the biggest fan of it). The Irish coffees weren’t very good though I don’t know if my expectations were higher but i was just a little disappointed. The seating was also just a little tight.

15/04/2026: Nice staff!! Good menu selection to suits all appetites.. lovely food, great breakfast also!
