The best restaurants in Clare

04/09/2026: Self and wife eat there regularly! Excellent tasty food! Helpful front-of-house staff!

13/08/2026: We spent a little over a week touring London, Inverness, Dublin and Sixmilebridge on a family trip. During the entire trip, the best meal we had was at The Abbey Tavern…by a large margin…and our second best meal was at The Abbey Tavern. Incredible food, excellent, friendly service and even reasonably priced. Save room for dessert…they are fantastic. Real authentic Irish Tavern. If I had a complaint, it’s that the kitchen closes at 6:00 pm, so we couldn’t go there a third and fourth time for dinner. But, if you eat a late lunch there, you probably won’t need dinner. Go, to see Quinn Abbey, then stay for lunch at The Abbey Tavern.

17/08/2026: In 2012. Dropped in one nite, to listen to music. Perfect...no amplifiers....good meal...people spoke quietly, so everyone could hear the music. Asked the bartender who would be playing the next nite. She shrugs and says " Ah, whoever comes ". So we went 2 more nites. The last nite met some people from Ennis, the pub was closing, musicians had left, the guys formed a little circle and started singing then a girl joined them. Great memories. Me from AZ, USA.

16/08/2026: A fun night in Juge 2026, US girls and VIP Johnny

27/08/2026: Amazing pastries! We got several things and it was all so delicious. I literally shouted Oh My God after taking a bite of the custard one. Get a few of those, because you’re not going to want to share it. A hidden gem is this little town. I recommend parking here and take the free shuttle over to the cliffs of mohr and grab some treats for your adventure.

26/08/2026: Staff were so friendly and approachable Food is absolutely unreal , I had two sausage rolls and honestly … I could’ve had their whole supply for the rest of my life, absolutely sensational, the pastry was phenomenal, no dryness anywhere so moist so buttery , best sausage roll I have ever had, please bring some to Scotland it will change the country forever !!!!

01/07/2026: Great spot. Consistently excellent.

27/08/2026: Looked amazing. Didn’t stop as couldn’t find a parking spot.

23/08/2026: It's a very cozy place, but they have a rule that you can only order alcoholic drinks if you order a meal. Which doesn't make sense because you drink more than you eat. So if you're thinking of going out for drinks, this really isn't the place.

26/08/2026: Absolutely delicious, fast service, and the server was very friendly! I highly recommend it!

19/08/2026: Lovely setting, good food, and friendly staff. I recommend it.

30/05/2026: There’s a reason why this is a 5 Star resort and they earn every day. The service was impeccable, staff were friendly and helpful, grounds were glorious and the room was spacious. We did the falconry class which was an amazing experience while being educational. I didn’t get to golf, but the course looked breathtaking. The location is a little remote, but the food and drinks on property were spot on!

07/05/2026: One of the most unique and gorgeous places we've ever stayed. Highly recommend!

17/08/2026: Very dirty, sticky tables, unfriendly service. We were given a timeframe for when the table should be free again, as we hadn't made a reservation. When we then went to order, no server appeared. We left the restaurant.

06/09/2026: Friendly hostess and good chat with other patrons. Food was the best we had in Ireland even after a 10 day trip!
