The best restaurants in Clare

08/12/2025: It simply does not get any better than this! The fabulous restaurant, accommodation and great service deserves 5 Stars+++

22/11/2025: The Restaurant food and service was spectacular. We are visiting from Australian and this is the best meal we have had in Ireland or the UK since we arrived!

03/01/2026: Had the mussels, the crab cake with smoked fish, the lamb and the panfried hake. The crab cake was the best part of the meal for sure, although the others weren’t bad either.

28/12/2025: I ordered chowder soup – what I got were two pieces of fish and some doughy lumps, more like glue than soup. The waitress took the plate away, but nobody in the kitchen apologized or offered an alternative. I left hungry and disappointed. Seriously, this is not how guests should be treated....

01/02/2026: The Cliffs of Moher… what can I say, a true marvel. We were lucky enough to visit them on a spectacular day, even more so in the middle of January 🍀. They also have a very comprehensive visitor center, with a great souvenir shop, a café, and exhibitions.

31/01/2026: A day trip to have when in Ireland

21/01/2026: Fantastic Pizza and Tapas restaurant. Excellent service with lovely staff. Highly recommended 👌

20/01/2026: We had a fabulous starter, dinner, and dessert at The Snug Pizzeria. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the quiet, peaceful setting made it ideal for a couple who wanted to catch up over dinner. Warm, relaxed and highly recommended!

04/02/2026: Delicious fish and chips, service was on the gruff side. No bookings for lunch walk in, advise booking early as this is mega busy! Steaks look amazing and prices have dropped!

31/12/2025: Nice tasty food. Good pint of Guinness

24/10/2025: This is the place to stay when visiting Lahinch. Less than a 5-minute walk to both the town and Lahinch GC. Onsite restaurant is excellent for both breakfast and dinner, and the staff is marvelous.

07/10/2025: Always a Joy to Visit, The Welcome is Warm , Friendly and Helpful. The Staff are Exceptional

21/09/2025: Very nice and cosy place. I ordered BBQ ribs and chips with glass of Merlot wine. Ribs were amazing: well marinated, soft and sweet. Banoffi desert was not too sweet and good. It was very delicious.

14/09/2025: This was the best food I’ve had in Ireland in many years.The owners were delightful, the atmosphere was relaxed and the menu was creative.

18/01/2026: My family and I stayed one night at Carrygerry Country House in Shannon, County Clare, and it was a truly memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were exceptionally friendly, polite, and attentive. Their genuine hospitality made us feel comfortable right away and added a very personal touch to our stay. The location of Carrygerry Country House is absolutely marvelous. Nestled in a peaceful countryside setting, it is surrounded by gentle mountains and beautiful greenery. The views from the property are stunning and create a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Waking up to such scenic surroundings was a real pleasure and made our short stay feel very refreshing. The house itself is full of charm and character, offering the elegance of a traditional country home while still providing modern comfort. Our room was clean, well maintained, and comfortable, allowing us to enjoy a very restful night. The quiet environment made it ideal for families looking to relax away from busy city life. Another great highlight is that the property has its own restaurant and bar inside, which is very convenient. The restaurant offers a lovely dining experience in a cozy and welcoming setting, and the bar is perfect for relaxing with a drink in the evening without having to go anywhere else. Overall, our stay at Carrygerry Country House was excellent. With its beautiful location, stunning views, friendly staff, and on-site restaurant and bar, it is a place we would happily return to. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Shannon area.

09/01/2026: We went there for our new year - anniversary getaway and this wee place was so lovely, and amazing. The country house gives you warm homely authentic irish vibes of old times and the hosts were really welcoming. We enjoyed our stay there with the warm and cozy fireplace and atmosphere even in the cold winter chills. The location was perfect and not too crowded. A lovely little village nearby to visit. Definitely recommend this place if you're visiting limerick, cliffs of moher or Shannon and nearby .

26/11/2025: I had the breakfast bap here. Was fantastic, as was the coffee and service. A real gem of a place, and clearly very well run. We arrived at Kilkee in very unfortunate circumstances, and were afforded a private space by the owners, who supported us during an incredibly difficult time. Kindness knows no bounds, and we are forever grateful for the support they showed us.

19/11/2025: I can’t recommend this place enough, looking great food and an even better view ? Diamond rocks is the place for you. Why pay for the cliffs of Moher when you can enjoy the diamond rocks sipping a freshly squeezed orange juice from the comfort of this stunning cafe.

02/01/2026: This food here is michelin star worthy , first time I went I got steak medallions with Jameson pepper sauce on a bed of creamy mash , 5 STARS . Baileys coffee to wash it down , have been back countless times since , their fish specials are always great and always fresh

18/11/2025: Wonderful staff - amazing food!

17/01/2026: Pint of Guinness by the corner of the 🔥

21/09/2025: The food here is top class and plentiful Highly recommended

13/11/2025: Some of the nicest pizzas and kebabs in Co.Limerick…

28/08/2025: The best takeaway! Food is always 100%! Hot tasty and fast delivery! They are the best!

21/01/2026: I'm in Limerick on a business trip and took a few hours to visit Bunratty Castle and its magnificent grounds. Entry costs €12 and includes access to the castle, which is beautifully restored, and its grounds, which feature various houses representing different eras and historical landmarks, such as the post office and the doctor's office. Unfortunately, having visited on a weekday in January, it wasn't very crowded or particularly impressive. I would still recommend visiting, but preferably on a weekend or during the summer months.

21/01/2026: It was a great experience. As it was January it was very quiet and we got to explore all areas without disruption. Really enjoyed learning and looking at all the exhibitions.

17/01/2026: Unfortunately, I can't comment due to "Google Maps AI Censorship" policy.

13/01/2026: Whilst visiting our Irish family over Christmas we decided to check out the very famous Durty Nelly’s which is located next to the formidable Bunratty Castle. In Ireland I have discovered you sit around in pubs and talk about the Guinness served within the establishment! It was a very decent pint here… but then again it serves 1000’s in a month and it’s been open since 1620 😉. As you’d expect the pub is completely authentic and very atmospheric frequented by what looked like fellow tourists whom like us were probably visiting the family over the festive period… The menu is a good size with plenty of Irish influenced dishes and veggie options. We ordered a Cajun chicken salad a burger plus the ‘famous’ chowder. The food arrived quickly, the portions were generous and both my buddies fell silent so you know it’s ’hitting the spot’ ! This pub is set up for large amounts of business, the style of menu and food reflects that in a really good way. We skipped pudding as by now we’d drank our fill of the delicious‘Black Stuff’ ! We were informed by a lovely waitress that the coffee came from a machine so we skipped that also… shame but understandable. The team were young, super friendly and efficient. Off we went into the gorgeous sunshine to discover what horrors lurk within Bunratty! Thanks team

10/01/2026: Fast service. Large and varied portions. Cozy dining room. Friendly waitresses. Good prices.

04/01/2026: Truly excellent promenade cafe/restaurant. The chef here is clearly a bit of genius with real passion for great food. This time we had the Dhall again(always amazing) and the chicken schwarma was just from heaven. Staff are friendly and helpful. They are so popular and well deserved !
