The best restaurants in Clare

28/08/2025: Lovely cafe for fresh baked cakes and buns a good selection of sandwiches and salad bowls.

17/08/2025: Extremely rude staff and overpriced coffee

19/10/2025: This is the ONLY place we eat when visiting Lahinch . Perfect to watch the sun going down over the water. Tasty food, relaxed vibe and lovely people.

23/09/2025: A cozy little spot to share tasty bites while watching the waves roll in. The beach view makes sunsets feel magical—perfect for a relaxed weekend dinner with someone special.

18/10/2025: Ordered chips - made to order- delicious! - will be back for pizza

17/06/2025: Superb food. Best burger in years. Fish and chips highly recommended

24/11/2025: Good quick drinks and baked good while enjoying the cliffs

30/09/2025: When you visit the Cliffs of Moher, give the Puffins Nest Cafe a try if you need a snack or quick meal. We wanted lunch, and I was SO happy they had a pre-made cheese sandwich available. I usually have to order a meat sandwich, and remove the meat. This was a fully dressed sandwich (lettuce, tomato), so this was a pleasant surprise. Since this cafe is at one of the most popular tourist destinations, I didn't expect much at all, but our lunch was good and not overpriced. It was a bit crowded in the dining area, but there is seating. The staff was nice and made pleasant conversation during each transaction.

25/10/2025: The food was good, and the prices are reasonable. The quality of the food here seems a bit higher than other fast food options. If you have a larger group, there is an upstairs dining area (it was closed when I was there for dinner). My only real complaint was that the wait time for the food seemed a bit long. I believe I was waiting for about 20+ minutes, and there were people waiting for even more time that had already ordered before I arrived.

12/10/2025: Who is this manager type person who stands around either at the counter or is filling her lungs with nicotine on the street ? She is the perfect example of how not to lead or manage the without exception great staff behind the counter Arrogant, condescending and dismissive are descriptors that come to mind . Maybe a few secret shopper visits are due here The staff need help not barking at.

25/08/2025: I used to like this place, but a few weeks ago we found a dying fly in our chips, which was absolutely disgusting. More recently, I stopped by Yum Yum while passing and saw a fair number of flies inside. Really disappointed and totally put off by the lack of cleanliness.

17/12/2025: The only reason I gave 1 star is because 0 stars was not an option. Ordered from just eat. I rang after an hour ten and it’s as if the man that answered had never seen my order. Still took another 20 minutes and all the food was stone cold. The man that delivered just handed me the food too and said “here”. Burgers were burnt, as were the buns. Kebab tray for €9 had 21 chips, yes I counted. It was bleak. Would never recommend this place.

11/12/2025: The food is great but delivery times are awful. We ordered on JustEat a few weeks ago and the food took nearly 2 hours to arrive (even after contacting them) and it was stone cold. We figured it was a once off and ordered again this week directly on their app however it was the same again, we ordered at 8:20 and it arrived after 10 and completely frozen. It's a shame because Ajmal and the lads inside are gents but I would advise against ordering anything for delivery!

20/08/2025: Sooo tasty and great service. I loved the crispy beef in a sweet and sour sauce. Music was wild Chinease disco😆🤩

29/07/2025: A simple restaurant with very fine cuisine; we had a very good meal. The service was courteous and attentive.

14/12/2025: No security on the exterior door. 2 drunk men pounded on our door at 2:00 and spent the rest of the night outside our door. Not sleeping mind you. There was arguing and there was an hour of whisking. Whisking. With a wisk and empty metal bowl. All of this within earshot of reception. Horrible night! I get that it's the party season, but the room overlooking the road with active drunken violence until 3:30 was a lot. No blackout curtains means the street lights fully illuminated the room. And not a chance of a warm shower. I can't believe we paid €190 for one night. Extremely overpriced.

04/11/2025: Room number 12. Terrible room. Dark, small window overlooking a wall and a ventilation pipe that constantly made loud noises. In addition, there were cooking smells coming in from outside, so the window had to remain closed. There was no room service. When we inquired, we were told that the cleaning staff was too busy. Loud door slamming, especially the interior doors. The hotel said someone would contact us. This never happened.

02/11/2025: Nice cheap stay with friends. Rooms are very decent size but do need upgrading, however are clean and comfortable. Staff are perhaps a little inexperienced but all very pleasant to deal with. Dining area was spacious and food was very good - great portions for dinner and breakfast was really delicious.

08/08/2025: We enjoyed a excellent three night break here recently. Beautiful room excellent amenities and friendly attentive staff. Highly recommended

05/08/2025: My wife and I dined here and ordered two battered fish (hake) and chips. The batter was very thick and gooey -it seemed very undercooked. The fish was not fresh with a tough dry texture. We mentioned this to the staff and they came over with a temperature probe and stuck in in the fish right in front of us. They said it was cool but was probably at the right temperature when they served it. They however agreed to take it away. They then bought the same piece back saying they re-fried it, but it really was no better. They also gave us a small piece of battered cod to try but this was even worse; it was very dry, chewy and salty - clearly not fresh. Other reviews of this restaurant are good, so I'm not sure what went wrong this time.

24/06/2025: Food was alright, staff are friendly

05/11/2025: We had a wonderful evening at Spice Temple restaurant. Our table by the window was perfect, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The service was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and beautifully presented. We are in love with the food! The portions were so generous that we couldn’t finish everything, so we even had to take some home. It was a perfect evening, and we’re already looking forward to returning! Thank you so much.

29/05/2025: Absolutely delicious food here.
