04/10/2026: Very tasty food, very efficient service and nice atmosphere.

04/10/2026: Great food, very friendly staff. Fantastic breakfast.

15/09/2026: Stopped here for a spot of lunch on a busy Saturday. Our food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. This was my first time having Irish stew and it did not disappoint!! The flavour was rich and you could tell it was good quality ingredients. Meat wasn’t too chewy and practically melted in the mouth. My partner had a burger and fries which he really enjoyed. I also loved dipping a few of his fries into my stew!! Would come again :)

12/09/2026: I ate here years ago and im still thinking about the stew...please McDermotts what is your secret

29/09/2026: This was the best pain au chocolat that I ever had. Staff is really nice!!

14/09/2026: Amazing Portuguese egg tart straight from the oven.

18/09/2026: One of our absolute highlights in Doolin! The food was truly outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great care. You can tell they place a high value on quality. We enjoyed our first evening so much that we came back the very next day. We were equally impressed on our second visit. Add to that the very friendly service and the cozy, pleasant atmosphere. Definitely one of the best meals we had on our trip and a clear recommendation.

15/09/2026: Went here for our anniversary dinner, Vladimir made sure we had the best night ever! All of the food was phenomenal, the duck rolls and the lamb were divine. Would come back to Ireland again just for this restaurant.

26/09/2026: Absolutely super spot for breakfast or lunch. Food is so tasty. Service is pleasant and efficient and overall great value

26/09/2026: Delicious Hot chocolate, and delightful atmosphere with great seating.

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!

18/09/2026: What a find, got in out of the squall blowing in off the Atlantic. Killing a little time before flying home. A Guinness and Kenny's Chicken Curry was a perfect late lunch. Look forward to coming back in November.

08/09/2026: Excellent late bar with incredible live music

12/09/2026: Food is good and for fair prices!

11/09/2026: We found this lovely restaurant just driving by. The food was amazing!

25/09/2026: A place in the small village of Doolin very cute and welcoming. We had soup of the day and fish and chips: both delicious. Very friendly staff, especially Ines (a Portuguese girl), who was very sweet. I highly recommend it.

25/09/2026: An unforgettable experience in Doolin! The food is perfect, far superior to "great French restaurants," the desserts are excellent, and the service is lovely. Perfect!

20/05/2026: What a wonderful experience at Monks, beautiful place right on the water, dinner and breakfast excellent, Colette went above and beyond to ensure our stay was 5 stars, would highly recommend and we will definitely be back Deirdre Daly San Francisco

14/05/2026: Colette and the entire team at Monks were kind, welcoming, and friendly. The hotel appeared updated and was comfortable. The restaurant served a great fish pie and some delicious salty oysters.

01/07/2026: We ate a lovely dinner here. The food was spectacular. It was one of the most memorable meals of our trip.

21/06/2026: In Vaughans in liscannor today for dinner the staff are lovely the food was okay, The Guinness tap not working right cooler gone ,the other drinks not great either, very disappointed with it, went to the pub next door for a drink,such a difference with the drink,

08/09/2026: Great little stop off on your way up the west coast of Clare. Really interesting fossils

05/09/2026: Got rocks and plenty of them! Worth the brief stop off.

26/09/2026: Well worth queuing up for the best bread, pastry and coffee in town!

09/09/2026: Amazing food, amazing service, seems so friendly and fun!

13/09/2026: Amazing Irish stew! Staff very very friendly

13/09/2026: Great food and a great pint.Friendly staff and a great atmosphere 👍

17/09/2026: Service is bad considering the over priced food.

09/09/2026: You absolutely must make a reservations. This place is so popular because the food is outstanding and if there’s any type of event or special festival going on, you will not get a table without a reservation. We went four times in the five days we were there. Two times for dinner and two times for drinks because we did not make reservations in time for dinner. The oysters with the lime-chili mignonette were amazing and the featherblade of beef special was once of the best dishes I’ve had in years. The fish and chips were outstanding also. Huge portion. Highly recommend going. I listed that we did not wait for a table because we had reservations. That Reservations you probably will not get a seat that night because they don’t serve very late. But stay for the drinks and ambience.
