The best restaurants in Clare

22/07/2025: The tender lamb shank, the sweet, juicy ribs with meat that just slides off the bone, the oysters, and the roasted goat cheese are definitely recommended! The service was pleasant.

15/07/2025: Highly recommend the lamb shank!

03/08/2025: Excellent food, well crafted menu. Great service and good kid options. Highly recommended.

30/07/2025: Amazing place. Decent portions, food is expertly prepared, owner is very accommodating and a great host

07/08/2025: I have just visited to see. Security was kind enough to allow my family to see around even we don't have a room booked. It has awesome surroundings and beautiful views. A picture perfect place. Later out of curiousity when checked the price Iit's in high range. So I admit it's beyond my affordability. Hopefully we will make it there one day.

02/08/2025: Gorgeous hotel. Staff are so relaxed and personable. Really relaxed place. The grounds are stunning. And the castle is very castley.

15/07/2025: Cute little pub packed listening to local arts one of our highlights of our trip…..top take cash in case WiFi is down and they cannot take car payments

15/07/2025: Great good and service here, stopped along the way after touring Cliffs of Moher and was not disappointed. The chowder, nachos, and Irish stew were hearty and delicious. We also ordered some homemade bread to dip the sauces. Lots of parking on the side and on the premise. I recommend this place if you are stopping by Doolin.

24/07/2025: An exceptional day seeing the cliffs and then a meal on the terrace with steak and fish and chips

24/07/2025: Fabulous food beautiful presentation excellent customer service 👌

26/07/2025: Absolutely amazing pastries! Both savoury and sweet were delicious and they had a lot of selection. If they have any pastel de nata left definitely get one because I think it’s even better than the ones I ate in Portugal!

21/07/2025: I would go as far as saying one of my favourite bakery’s in Ireland - absolutely incredible with Natas to die for!!!

15/07/2025: Good food good pint of Guinness and the Young girls that served us were exceptionally nice.this is what makes a good Irish pub.keep it like it is.

21/06/2025: Good bar staff are absolutely awful would not recommend staff have horrible manners and should all be let go can’t understand how they have a job

21/07/2025: My wife and I just spent 2.5 days in the County Clare region near the cliffs of Moher. On the recommendation of our accommodations host, we decided to try Dodi. Be advised that depending on the time of day there may be a bit of a wait. There’s but a handful of tables, but usually the wait wasn’t more than 10-15 minutes as people move in and out pretty quickly. First impressions were that the staff were all super nice and friendly, and wanted to make sure we were taken care of. As soon as you’re seated they bring some menus offer you a craft of water and say they’ll be back to take your order, and surely they do. My wife and I got the eggs over greens and added the bacon, and the eggs were perfectly poached, and the bacon was so tender but at the same time crispy and so good. I love Irish bacon! We also ordered lattes and cappuccinos and we must say they make the best we’ve had in Ireland thus far. We’re originally from Seattle, so that’s high marks!! Now, in my opinion the star of the show was the scone with butter and raspberry jam! I think I could seriously live off of them! They are perfectly crumbly and soft, and the butter is amazing, paired with locally crafted raspberry jam. Service and food, everything was top notch and so good; that we repeated it the NEXT day! My only small gripe is… it’s a sauna in there. Anyway, if you’re in town, do yourself the favor and go to Dodi, maybe even go back the next day!

19/07/2025: Came for the coffee and it did not disappoint. Stayed for the atmosphere. Fabulous spot

06/08/2025: The place was really nice and Andy was fantastic

06/08/2025: Unparalleled service, I recommend it 😍🚀🚀

14/06/2025: A cozy place, we only had a drink here. Friendly service.

04/06/2025: Discovered this local gem on the way back to Adare from the Cliffs of Moher. Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious, plentiful food. Highly recommend.

15/07/2025: Fantastic place, great service, excellent food. Wonderful view of the sea and beautiful hills in the background!

15/07/2025: Local and extremely friendly nice people there

09/08/2025: Busy, bustling and crowded but you are welcomed, appreciated and provided with exceptional service. Food menu is extensive and reasonably priced. The food arrives hot, promptly,and with a smile. It is tasteful and filling especially the fish and chips though every one enjoyed whatever they ordered. Make it a priority if you are looking for a decent meal and a drink while in the town!!

03/08/2025: A cozy place to enjoy a good Sunday Roast. The apple crumble made us feel at home. The brownie sundae could be improved, as the chocolate couldn't be removed from the cup. The cheesecake had a good texture and a pleasant flavor. The staff was extremely attentive. One of the diners in our group had allergies, and they took this into account when preparing the dishes. This gave us confidence that they were taking the issue seriously. In short, a highly recommended place!

08/08/2025: Not a great experience. Microwaved food. Tough chicken, lumpy mash potatoes, tasteless sauce, soggy lasagne that tasted clearly defrosted and microwaved. The seats had torn fabric, the decor is old and in need of freshening, dirty toilets with broken toilet seats. So disappointing. The only positive is the nice and friendly staff, they were very pleasant, enthusiastic and helpful.

28/07/2025: After a long drive this am we decided to stop for lunch in Lahinch. Walking down the street we came across The Cornerstone an decided to eat there. Jennifer waited on us and suggested a special of the day (lamb shank) and it was fantastic! I pride myself on making a great lamb shank and this one outdid it hands down. Additionally, my wife had the fish and chips and it was the best we have had in Ireland to date. I’m you decide to stop hope they have the lamb if not have the fish and chips ( order a half order to start).

18/07/2025: Don't hesitate to step through the door of this small café, which hides a large dining room upstairs. A delicious full breakfast is served even in the afternoon by a dynamic and welcoming team.

05/07/2025: Friendly atmosphere and great food

18/07/2025: Knox's Pub in Ennis is an absolute gem! The service is top notch staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is fantastic, buzzing with energy and that authentic Irish pub charm, complete with exposed stone and wooden beams. The Guinness is poured to perfection, creamy and smooth, easily one of the best pints in town. As a GAA fan, I loved catching the Tyrone game (We lost 😢). Perfect for soaking up the excitement with locals and visitors alike. The traditional Irish music sessions are a highlight, with talented musicians creating a lively vibe that gets everyone tapping their feet. And the food? Delicious! From hearty beef and Guinness stew to fresh seafood chowder, every dish was packed with flavor and made with local ingredients. Whether you're here for a pint, a meal, or the craic, Knox's delivers an unforgettable experience. Can’t wait to return

16/07/2025: The chicken sandwich was absolutely amazing!!! The chicken bacon carbonara was really not good, don’t recommend. The wait staff was very pleasant and Sam was very nice! We had a reservation for 9 and sadly got seated upstairs and couldn’t be moved to see the live music. So if you’d like a spot downstairs I recommend asking when you place your reservation, as it takes a lot longer to get your stuff because they don’t open the upstairs bar (poor wait staff) Half of the cocktails we got were good, other half were not. Taco fries are pretty good!
