The best restaurants in Clare

16/07/2025: The Irish Cheese sandwich toasted up on fresh sourdough bread infused with sun-dried tomatoes … fantastic! Great coffee, cheerful staff, lovely owner, all sorts of specialty food to buy. This is a terrific little shop. We went for coffee and lunch, but it looks like the downstairs is set up for some music in the evenings. A great little spot in a great little town…

05/07/2025: Super cute Café! 🥰☕️ and they also have vegan options! The staff is so so so kind

12/08/2025: Very pretty café. Very friendly service and great food. Very nice gift items.

11/08/2025: It's not a cafe, it's an Irish Tale.... Update to my last year's review, this place keeps surprising me in the best ways ever. I went with family early yesterday and I enjoyed being the first there (that's why no one in photos 😊☺️) and I enjoyed a great cup of tea made with so much love. And the art ceramic collection was beyond imagination, I couldn't resist and bought three pieces for my study room... the staff are gorgeous Irish ladies that made my day with their kindness and sweetness... thier excellence is consistent 👌👍they also provide art pottery lessons 🖌🥣please continue to read my last year's review below... Last year, I went with family and friends to this lovely cafe based on a recommendation from a friend, oh my goodness, what a place. I don't know how to start. Wow is a tiny word to describe it. I was amazed to the point that I forgot to take photos of the food. The place is very cosy, comfortable, and full of art. It's a cafe that you will enjoy food and coffee, but your soul will be satisfied with the art and books around. I got mushrooms soup and some sandwiches 🥪 so delicious and made with love. Then I got a cup of cappuccino and it was a decent 👌 cup, Italian top class quality. Then I couldn't resist the cakes, I had a jam sponge cake and brownies. My friend ate three pieces of cake. I just couldn't believe how great the food was. The place was so clean and the couch beside the fire was magical. There was a bookshelf full of a big selection of books. Art paintings on the walls, very positive messages everywhere. Then, the two ladies running the place, two Irish angels, very friendly and helpful. They welcomed us and they made sure that we were well served. I felt like I am in their home, not a cafe. If you are in Ireland or justing visiting, then you must go there, a lifetime experience. Next time, I will take photos for sure.

16/08/2025: We visited Scariff for the first time ever of holidaying on a river cruiser. We visited the town and walked past this pub so decided to stop for a couple of drinks. While there the staff and locals were friendly and a family was having lunch which smelled amazing, so we decided to book an evening meal. We arrived about 7pm and ordered drinks. I had a Madri and my wife half a Guinness. Not being used to it, we had to wait a few minutes for the Guinness. The barman explained why. We ordered food, both having soup of the day and pork lion with extra gravy. The food was excellent. I loved tbe fact they asked us to let them know when we wanted the main course, so it wasn't a case of rushing us to eat and vacate the table. I'd highly recommend this pub. Food, drinks, staff, all excellent and to cap it off, the locals were friendly and happily chatted with us. We had a really nice time and enjoyed it so much as we stayed in Scariff we booked in for a an evening meal the next day.
