The best restaurants in Clare

17/03/2026: Honestly not great. Probably best if you're a bit fluttered.

13/08/2025: Last dined here 2014 after poor dining experience, spend half the year in Clare, love Ennistymon so thought give it another go. Wishing we hadn't, roast beef, arrived on mash and looked good, sides were more mash and a bit of a carrot, slice of turnip and green beans all soggy, asked about roast potatoes and they brought me some that must have been left in the oven and were rock hard. Husband had pan fried chicken , same sides as myself. Pleasant young staff, no checking about food, place lovely. How hard is it to present this food with fresh veg and potatoes. Shame as we won't be back and would advise others too avoid

22/03/2026: The short... we would eat here again. We had the roast of the day with mashed potatoes. Outstanding The long.. We chose the Skillet Pot at Treacy's West County Hotel based on an AI recommendation while searching for a proper “Sunday pot roast” — something that felt traditional and true to Ireland. It came up as a top choice, and we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant opens at 6pm, so we made a reservation right when they opened. We were seated immediately and had our pick of tables, settling into a comfortable spot for two. The menu is well structured with starters, mains, and desserts, and there were some strong options (the sea bass stood out). That said, we came for the roast — and that’s what we ordered. The beef roast with mashed potatoes absolutely delivered. It came out hot, tender, and beautifully plated. The potatoes were clearly real (not processed), the brown gravy was rich and flavorful, and the traditional pudding on top added a nice authentic touch. Everything was cooked and seasoned exactly right — honestly, this is exactly what I was hoping for when I think of a Sunday roast in Ennis. Service was also excellent. Our server, Antonina, struck the perfect balance — attentive without being intrusive, never rushed us, and was always nearby when we needed something. Super wholesome and personable. For dessert, I had the chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream. It was my first time trying it — enjoyable, though I don’t have much to compare it to. My wife went with the rhubarb apple crumble with vanilla ice cream, and she definitely feels like she made the better choice. Overall, this was a great experience. If you’re looking for a proper, traditional Sunday-style meal in the Ennis area, this place is absolutely worth considering.

20/01/2026: A great place, plenty of vinyl and great coffee

08/01/2026: Very cold cafe, women serving seemed quite confused when I asked for a coffee. The dog was the best part despite cold humour. I wanted to take him with me.

09/06/2026: Love a coffee and fresh cream cake

12/04/2026: Lovely cafe and bakery. Helpful and friendly staff.

03/06/2026: Tried to go at 2pm, not opened. Still not open at 2:15, unsure of what correct hours are, none posted.

25/10/2025: Oysters like you rarely find, and at a good price. An absolute must in Galway.
