The best restaurants in Clare

07/05/2026: I came here with my last €10 hoping to get myself some nice food THIS WAS NOT THE CASE! I ordered a spice bag the chicken contained 0 chicken as it was just batter and hard the chips may aswell of been from Lidl or even cooked a week in advance I am very disappointed I will not definitely not be returning what a waste of food I would of been better getting a microwave meal and betting the rest of it STAY AWAY!

10/03/2026: We have eaten in and have had food delivered. We were really happy on all occasions.They couldn’t have been nicer and more professional. The delivery arrived extremely fast even though we live quite far away. I would highly recommend the Shannon Palace to anybody. There’s so much variety. the food is delicious and very well presented. Thank you so much for being so lovely!

12/05/2026: best chinese in shannon lovely food and service would come there everyday

22/01/2026: (I'm a stranger things fan) Loved scoops ahoy, feel like something is underneath the mall good feels and the movies were great (Check out YouTube, starcourt, you'll see alot of stranger things content)

24/05/2026: Room 29 is not suitable for guests. There was a heavy, stuffy smell in the room. Fortunately, the window could be opened to air it out. Unfortunately: the kitchen ventilation exhaust was located right in front of the window. Besides the smell of frying, it made quite a lot of noise. We asked for another room, but were assured that the kitchen would close at 8:00 PM and wouldn't reopen until 8:00 AM the next morning. Well, in practice, that was 9:45 PM and 6:30 AM (!). But even when the ventilation was off, things weren't right: the small terrace where guests or staff could smoke a cigarette or make a phone call was directly under our window. And unfortunately, this was done regularly at night as well. In short: refuse room 29. The hotel management really needs to do something about this; such an unsuitable room detracts from the entire stay. It is a real shame, because the location is good, the people are nice, and the breakfast is good.

12/05/2026: I would gladly give the food stars. My room was still awaiting renovation, but it was clean and we lacked nothing. A charming hotel, just as you'd expect in Ireland. Super friendly staff.

30/04/2026: Always a positive experience getting take away from here. The owner is very kind (thank you for the complimentary prawn crackers!), and the food is delicious. The chicken especially is always very juicy and tender.

01/04/2026: *Cash Only*Takeaway Only* Came here 2 nights in a row during my stay in Lahinch bc it was just one of three options open in town (at my time of stay in March) and more dairy free friendly than the other two Irish restaurants. Billy was so nice and friendly, even the hotel staff said "Billy is just great, we all love the guy" when telling me about dining options in town. He even gave me some fruits too, which was very much appreciated 🫶🏻

29/11/2025: The view is gorgeous. The food is below average

08/11/2025: Fish was great, Chips could have been a bit better - lots of small black bits on mine.... But great location and I will be back again soon

13/12/2025: I had such a lovely experience at this cafe/bakery today. A blonde girl Tracy I think her name was was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming when taking my order. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely made me feel comfortable, which really added to the whole experience. It’s always nice to be served by someone so friendly and thoughtful — Tracey is a real credit to the place. I’ll definitely be back!

28/11/2025: Most weekends ,I collect a take out butter chicken tray . The butter chicken sauce is fantastic , but unfortunately the chicken volume is getting less & less.
