The best restaurants in Clare

10/07/2026: Had a steak. Was cooked to order. Food in general was good. Out server however constantly looked annoyed and angry. We asked if they had a pale ale and he said yes and brought Smithwicks red ale.

21/06/2026: The hotel staff were very polite, friendly and hospitable. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the rooms were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and there was a great selection of food. I would recommend staying at the Old Ground Hotel!

04/07/2026: We had our day two wedding celebrations at the monks well. Geraldine and staff were fantastic to deal with. We had our day two on a Monday and Geraldine facilitated us by opening the pub for the event even though they are usually closed on Monday. The atmosphere was great, the pizzas were really tasty and went down very well with the guests. Would highly recommend this venue for events.

03/08/2026: Easily our favorite bakery in Ireland! Not only are they baking incredible artisanal sourdough, but their pastries are also highly skilled and innovative. They even offer a much higher quality of coffee than you typically find at a bakery. On top of that, they feature a small menu of prepared food. The classic sambo was packed with flavor and had a perfectly crispy exterior. The only downside is that with so many beautiful pastries on display, you might experience decision paralysis! We actually got back in line just to buy extra pastries to-go. The maple pecan roll is the one I'll be dreaming about! We also picked up a small loaf of ciabatta to enjoy later with lunch. The line moved fast, the staff were absolutely delightful, and they have some nice outdoor seating to enjoy breakfast. This is honestly one of the most well-balanced bakeries I've ever experienced.

02/08/2026: Went in at 9.30am and 12.30pm for food and drinks. Both times we waited just over 5 mins to order and then less for the food. They staff in there are super lovely and patient, they took time with each customer. The selection of pastries and savoury options is great! This place is always a must when passing day. We basically came down to Ennis today from Galway just for Sourdo'Farrell. The sambos are very fresh and flavourful. I would recommend the kimchi toasties! Oh we also got a apple crumble Danish, that was class.

16/05/2026: A lively restaurant. A constant flow of people. The service is efficient and, despite the stress, manages everything with ease and appears relaxed. Despite the hustle and bustle, we were seated at the bar for a few minutes without a reservation. Here we could browse the menu and order our first drinks. The food arrived quickly and tasted delicious.

06/05/2026: Perfectly adequate meal for us who are not geared towards golf in a golf town. Server was new and eager to help.

14/05/2026: Fast food served as quickly as you'd get at a fast-food restaurant, which is suspicious for a restaurant. The chicken tenders are made fresh that morning and reheated just before serving: they're therefore far too dry (I had to try twice to be sure it was actually chicken). I didn't think it was possible to mess up the chowder: well, you can! It's just a matter of throwing frozen vegetables and pieces of fish into milk with powder for a very gelatinous texture! Tasteless. Avoid it unless you're in a hurry. Free parking right across the street.

12/05/2026: Lovely restaurant on the Wild Atlantic Way. Friendly service, and the food arrived very quickly. One minor drawback was that they were using old menus, so the fish and chips order still listed coleslaw as an accompaniment, which wasn't actually served.

01/05/2026: Fabulous experience!!! Staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. And the food was exceptional. Highly recommend!

20/04/2026: After being ignored elsewhere we fell on this place..how happy were we all 12 of us ate like kings ...and queens. What a fabulous choice of food and drinks from such an unexpected small entrance into a fabulous upstairs and downstairs dining area great service very friendly atmosphere

16/06/2026: Lovely pub. Lovely staff and great food.

13/06/2026: The pub offers excellent food. We were passing by. We ordered Seafood Chower and Beef stew. I liked beef stew better, it's little salty, but with combination of mashed potato, it was perfect.

05/06/2026: Fabulous spot, food is delicious, lovely cosy vibe and great atmosphere. Food 10/10.

28/05/2026: We really enjoyed this place as well as the manager, who is a very kind person and gave us great recommendations on whiskies 🙂
