The best restaurants in Clare

29/11/2025: This is an incredible spot. Exactly what it should be. Our family’s favorite hotel of the trip. It starts with the friendly people who greet your car and never stops. Falconry and skeet shooting were great.

25/11/2025: We were walking around the castle enjoying the beautiful decorations, but the moment we entered the restaurant the whole experience became even better. From the very first second everything felt special, thanks to the warm, human and highly professional service. Denis, Eric, Lucy, Timy… I could name many more. The cocktail “The Emperor” was exactly the kind of ending you’d wish for on a perfect night. ✨

29/10/2025: Charming restaurant with delicious food. I was there at the end of July with my mother staying within walking distance of the restaurant, and it was one of the best meals we had during our 5 day trip in Ireland.

27/10/2025: Service was great . Fish (was light like a cotton) & chips was very tasty. Soup of the day super. Atmosphere was very cosy

04/11/2025: Excellent food (the VERY best in Ennis! And yes I'vebeen everywherehere aha) excellent service! The featherblade just melts in your mouth! Their steak? Surreal! And their staff always take such great care of us. We've been there 3 times and we'll keep coming back!

24/10/2025: The store owner is very friendly. He cooked the chicken I bought from the supermarket in the oven for me. You can come and eat if you pass by here.

27/11/2025: Always an amazing meal at the Abbey

23/11/2025: Family meal to celebrate an 18th, very good, liked the menu, staff were good, first visit, hopefully will be back at some stage, but it's a long way from home.

12/12/2025: We had our lunch at McDermott Pub, and everything was fantastic. The food was fresh and delicious, and a big compliment goes to the fish soup — it was especially outstanding. A great spot to enjoy a hearty meal with a welcoming atmosphere.

06/12/2025: Hello We were there yesterday at 4:00 PM and it was closed. You need to update your opening hours on Google so we don't go there for nothing. We had to drive quite a few kilometers and it was useless. Thanks. Regards

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.

11/11/2025: Food is decent - we enjoyed the early bird menu twice and it caters for vegan and vegetarian, although you wont have a selection of options. Service was great both times and price good too if doing early bird !

27/10/2025: Nice restaurant, off the beaten track. The menu is manageable. The starters are small. We had the steak, not so good meat and not grilled well. And the curry, well-seasoned but with more sauce than substance. The chicken with it was good. However, and this is why it only gives it two stars, the prices for the food are far too high. €29.70 for the steak and €25.70 for the curry are, in my opinion, completely unreasonable.

11/12/2025: Noel and his team are amazing. One night stay on business with accomodation and evening meal. Room really nice and very clean. Great Guinness before we ate. Then the food, simply stunning. Pork Belly with black pudding for starter, then beef cheek for main, souffle to finish. All to a very high standard with exceptional service. My second stay here when in Shannon, loved it.

11/11/2025: Absolutely fabulous experience, from check-in to check-out.kind, helpful, clean, comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Great local sites.

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!

09/12/2025: Had so much fun here. Out in the middle of no where wich is great to hangout with Irish locals.

03/12/2025: One of the best pubs in Doolin Traditional pub with good food and live music.

02/12/2025: Very pleasant space, excellent service, very welcoming, the food is unacceptable, everything else is very good.

01/12/2025: The experience was wonderful, and Anderson's service was simply spectacular! 1000/1000!

28/10/2025: Had dinner here during a trip to Ennis was awesome

27/10/2025: We had a meal there last night and it was terrible. The food was very cold and very expensive for the quality of the food.

30/11/2025: We had our school Christmas staff night out on Friday night, superb service and atmosphere…..we’ll definitely be booking again!!

25/11/2025: We celebrated our engagement at the Monks Well recently and the service received from Geraldine was 10/10, the place looks phenomenal. Everyone kept saying how lovely the place is and there was so much food to go around! Adrian and Diane have done a fabulous job of the place!

30/10/2025: Went in here recently ordered a Guinness and a vodka and sprite from the blonde younglad behind the bar(who was busy chatting and took ages to acknowledge me) .My wife poured some of the sprite into the vodka and took a sip.She asked me to taste.No taste of vodka at all(she normally checks before pouring the mixer if we are in a bar for the first time)Guinness wasn't great so we left and made our way to Frawleys and had a great night.

27/10/2025: One of the best pub grub lunch’s we’ve had in a long time . Figured because we’re near the sea we’ll have to pick the sea food lunch , we weren’t disappointed . Food tasted amazing . Had the Thai style mussels and clams and prawn pot . Great size portions . Staff real friendly , kid friendly . They serve a good Guinness and a wicked good irish coffee . To bonus it off the background music was a Waterboys playlist 👌👌

30/11/2025: I was so lucky to have the Roadside as my local pub for over three months: the staff is extraordinary and the place itself was my safe space after work! (The coziest Bar with the best and cutest Barman around: thank you Andrew for always having a pint and a good story ready for me) When I spoiled myself with one of Peters lovely meals, Bridie, Mayuko and Paola always made sure I had the best experience: they are kind and wonderful people and the service is fantastic! So if you have the chance to wine and dine in the roadside or to listen to a few tunes of a trad session with a good pint: do not hesitate! :)

23/11/2025: The food here was great. The portions were very good also. It was my first time eating oysters and they were very nice. I would definitely recommend this place.
