The best restaurants in Clare

24/09/2025: Amazing Fish Chowder!! Loved the flavor profile and enjoyed a local stout beer. Highly Recommend place in Doolin

21/09/2025: It was so delicious with surprising flavors. We took some fish and ships, the batter was crispy, there was a little spicy and sweet salad of mangoes that was delicious and the shrimps were so tasty. We also took the fish of the day, and the fish was very good and well seasoned. The desserts were delicious too. The waiter was very nice and funny, his pronunciation of the fresh word Flétan was very funny, we had a good laugh. (It was perfect don't worry, it was cute.) We'll surely come back !

07/10/2025: Luxury to the max! Loved every minute of being there. Don't miss The Afternoon Tea. Just wonderful!

05/10/2025: Much better than Ashford caslte. Bang for buck skip the ashford caslte and just hit this one. Great room, bed, entertainment just felt homely. We will for sure make a point to stay here again hands down. Wish we would have stayed here for 2 nights over the ashford. We did room service after being on adventures from dingle to dromoland so we cant say much about there dinners. But the service and staff were better than ashford, I hate hatting ashford but staying at three castles in ierland on our trip ashford just didnt hold up to its price tag. Go here stay here get the same service if not better with the same activity avaliable while saving some money weather your poor or rich. Hope this helps.

14/09/2025: Exceptional pub. When we arrived, it was packed and we had to wait a quarter of an hour. They offered to share a table with another American couple, providing a chance to socialize. The food was excellent; try the stew, it's worth it. They serve food until 9:30 PM, after which they give way to music. I think there are different performers every night. In our case, we listened to a famous Irish bagpipe player along with two other musicians, and needless to say, they were brilliant. You can really feel the Irish spirit of joy and conviviality.

12/09/2025: Fantastic food with extremely friendly service.

17/09/2025: We were part of a group of about 30 and the food and service exceeded our expectations!!! We will definitly go back there individually or with a group on our next trip to Ennis. Our meals and desserts were delicious!

02/09/2025: Excellent service, beautiful food and a varied menu all combine to make this a great experience.

21/09/2025: Very nice and cosy place. I ordered BBQ ribs and chips with glass of Merlot wine. Ribs were amazing: well marinated, soft and sweet. Banoffi desert was not too sweet and good. It was very delicious.

14/09/2025: This was the best food I’ve had in Ireland in many years.The owners were delightful, the atmosphere was relaxed and the menu was creative.

20/09/2025: The staff here were very kind and gave great suggestions on the menu. The fish and chips and tomato basil soup were outstanding!

30/08/2025: We stopped in for lunch after walking through the Abby ruins across the street. Excellent food and service.

07/09/2025: Great restaurant, really great welcome 👌 The prices are very reasonable and the pizzas are delicious

06/09/2025: Very good pizzas and very nice quiet place

13/09/2025: Lovely location with views over the cascades. We visited for drinks and a dessert, but the service was quite disorganised from start to finish.

10/09/2025: We had the beef stew at Byrne’s and it was really delicious. Tender meat, rich flavor and very comforting. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made it a lovely stop. Definitely recommend when in Ennistymon.

28/09/2025: I bought a delicious sandwich there with chickpeas, vegan mayo, salad, and more. The bread was really delicious!

18/09/2025: The real deal, spectacular pastries, great coffee drinks, lovely shop of gourmet foods. I’m a hot chocolate drinker and Hugo’s was exceptional!

03/09/2025: Everything is very good and friendly as at home

01/09/2025: An Unforgettable Experience at Brogan's ​From the moment we walked in, we were met with a warmth that set the tone for the entire evening. Despite the bustling crowd, we were greeted with a genuine smile and quickly accommodated. The server, with a friendly efficiency, took our names and offered us the choice to wait comfortably by the bar or the glass window as they prepared our table. This small gesture of consideration immediately made us feel valued. ​Once seated, we were given menus and the daily special was expertly described. While our initial round of soft drinks lacked a bit of fizz, the staff's response was nothing short of brilliant. Without a moment's hesitation, they offered to replace them, giving us the option to either get fresh ones or try something new. This level of attentiveness is a true testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. ​Then came the main course. The food arrived piping hot, and the portion sizes were incredibly generous. Every single bite was a delight, cooked to absolute perfection. It was a proper hearty meal, and although we were completely stuffed, we simply couldn't leave a single morsel behind. ​The entire experience, from start to finish, was exceptional. Manager Joanne and her team deserve all the praise in the world. They were professional yet genuinely friendly, creating a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. When you combine that with the extremely reasonable prices, you have a truly unbeatable dining experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Brogan's to anyone looking for a delicious, hearty meal served with excellent customer service. It's the kind of place that leaves you looking forward to your next visit.

14/09/2025: Such a cosy place, and the service & food is very good. We will be back for sure!

03/09/2025: Feels like an irish home. Great breakfast!

17/09/2025: Checked the place out on their website for food availability, opening times etc. drove 18 kilometres to get there for 1800 only to find that (a) they were not opening until 1900 and (b) they wouldn’t be serving food. Very disappointed.

15/09/2025: Really nice pub, food was delicious, staff were very friendly and helpful. They have a great special’s menu to go with the already good regular menu. I had the pot of mussels and my husband had the spicy chipotle chicken sandwich, both were really good. Nice atmosphere in the bar, it did get really busy so it might be difficult to get a table at times but worth the wait.

10/09/2025: Visited as a tourist couple. Lots of parking opposite the pub and spotted easily on the way into town. Nice decor inside, very authentic, a little dark since we were sat away from the windows, not an issue on the whole. Considering the majority of the reviews state that the service is 5 star, sadly, we didn't feel all too welcome. No hello or smile when we entered the building. Then when our drinks came, the staff member proceeded to throw the placemats on the table which was surprising and rude?! The food arrived soon after and it was amazing, we ordered fish and chips and massaman curry, couldn't fault anything on either dish. However, nobody came over to ask how we were doing and didn't offer any more drinks unfortunately. After we finished it was some time before staff took our plates, even though there was only us and one other table. we were considering a dessert but honestly didn't feel like it due to the poor service all round. Settled the bill at the bar, gentleman who took our payment was the most friendly and asked us how the food was and gave us a friendly smile. Think it was a one-off as the service is usually great from what the reviews say. Stomachs full but a little dissapointed on the whole.

01/09/2025: We stopped here for lunch on a tour to Galway. When we arrived (about 90 people), they were ready to welcome us. It didn't take long for them to bring out the food, which, by the way, was a long time since I'd had something so flavorful. The soup of the day was the best I've had in a long time, and the beef was also excellent. My friend ordered a burger, which she also really liked. The price was very reasonable for the portions and quality. I recommend it.

17/08/2025: Excellent local pub; we had a lovely meal with a menu that wasn't at all touristy. The atmosphere was fantastic, colorful, and full of interesting details.

16/08/2025: Good food, great location. If you are around come here

16/09/2025: If you get the chance, don’t miss eating at this place. Every dish we tried was delicious, especially the onion soup. Congratulations to the chef! The service was excellent, and the live music made the experience even more enjoyable

16/09/2025: Food is amazing, Service is great. Desert is fabulous. I would give 10 star if I could. We got the lamb shank and their Special salmon and both were great!
