The best restaurants in Clare

04/05/2025: The Monks is in a fabulous location, beside the sea in North Clare. Friendly greeting and brought to our table within minutes. Four of our group had the chowder, it was absolutely delicious and served with lovely brown bread. The mains were a bit disappointing. Two of us ordered the halibut but we were informed it was no longer available. I had pan-fried salmon instead, and I wouldn't have it again. It came on a bed of green! Peas, beans, broccoli accompanied with mashed potatoes. Not at all nice. The other members of the group agreed that the main courses need to step up. We didn't have dessert. As I said the location and chowder fabulous.

04/05/2025: Food isnt half as good as it was in the past, value for money is very poor and there always seems to be no availability

26/05/2025: Highly recommend this family run bnb, rooms are very comfortable, clean and recently renovated, the breakfast is the real star of the show, highly recommend to any visitors wanting to explore westclare

25/05/2025: An absolutely Beautiful place with the most wonderful staff. Greg, Barbara and Laura are perfect at what they do and Greg is as good a chef as they come! You must reserve, way in advance due to popularity. Will definitely be back. Thank you again Peter

17/05/2025: Lovely view of the ocean while still in the country hills. Beautiful organic juices as well

14/05/2025: Sat in the car whilst the wife spent a fortune 😱

23/05/2025: Lovely place. Food was some of the best we have ever had. Guinness stew is like a hug in a bowl.

22/05/2025: A typical Irish pub with good food and beer, attentive service to help with special requests for the dish.

23/05/2025: Great night of entertainment. The performers stayed in character and it seemed like we went back in time. The food was hot and plentiful. The mead and wine really got you in the mood for a fun night.

23/05/2025: Beautiful little castle . Lovely to visit on a sunny day :)

09/05/2025: Such a charming hotel in a great location in the heart of Ennis town. The food was superb and staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely return !

08/05/2025: I stayed at the Old Ground Hotel in Ennis for a work trip and had such a lovely experience. The hotel has so much character – it feels warm, welcoming, and full of charm. The staff were incredibly kind and went out of their way to accommodate my dietary requirements, which I really appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing, every meal was a treat, and the rooms were beautiful – really comfortable and tastefully done. It’s a great spot if you’re visiting for business or just looking for a relaxing break. Would definitely come back!

03/05/2025: Stopped in for a late lunch on the way to the Cliffs. Had the special - roast beef with mashed potatoes and veggies. Gravy was delicious and the creamy horseradish was amazing! Service was quick and friendly. Thank you for the quick scrumptious meal chased by a tasty pint of Guinness! Grabbed a few orders of chips for the road.

01/05/2025: It looked like a cute place, and the people where very friendly, but the food was tasteless. We had the fish&chips, it had really no taste. Unfortunately also the coke tasted like it had been oopened for a few days. Maybe we had just bad luck.

04/05/2025: Unreal grub. So many veggie choices. Meat eater enjoyed his burger. Music is great too

04/05/2025: Lovely friendly service by cafe

28/05/2025: Great breakfast place. We had the breakfast bap, pancakes and a scone. So glad we decided on this place. Small seating area but well worth the wait.

26/05/2025: Lovely friendly atmosphere and super menu with great vegetarian choice. Soup, cake, coffee, and tea all first class.

02/10/2024: 这份牛排口感极佳，medium cooked肉质鲜嫩多汁，每一口都充满了浓郁的风味。搭配的红酒质感顺滑，香气与牛排完美融合，为整个用餐体验增色不少。餐厅的环境也很舒适，服务细致周到，是一次令人难忘的美食享受。我强烈推荐给所有热爱牛排的人，相信你一定不会失望。

10/09/2024: I recently had the pleasure of dining at Vaughan, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. This charming and cozy restaurant is perfect for special occasions, offering an intimate atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The attention to detail, both in the service and the menu, made the evening exceptional. Whether you're celebrating a special moment or simply want to enjoy a fantastic meal, Vaughan is the perfect choice. Highly recommended.

13/02/2025: Fantastic restaurant, best salt and chili shredded chicken I've ever had 😁

09/01/2025: Best Chinese I had in years. You can tell everything is very fresh. Chicken chesse rolls are the best I have ever had. Chicken curry fried rice was so fresh it’s 10/10 for me. A lot of Chinese food I eat I feel like crap after it because it’s not fresh but this Chinese has to get the credit it deserves for freshness.

22/05/2025: Très bien situé. Superbe vue sur la mer. Huîtres. Truite fumée maison. Turbot cuit à point. Un régal. Accueil sympathique.

12/05/2025: Firstly the location is stunning ,the view from the all glass dining area looking out onto the atlantic is beautiful watching the sun set ,our waiter Charlie was able to explain each dish down to the last detail in the most professional manor and make us feel relaxed and excited for what was to come,my friend had a crisp white wine to go with the freshest oysters I have ever had,you could taste the wild atlantic sea in each one ,I had a Japanese beer to go with spicy pork belly with an Asian slaw,the freshness cut through the juicy melt in your mouth fat,we both went for the Turbot which was the largest portion I have had in any restaurant considering the cost of Turbot ,I dont know how they can do it for the price they charge ,it was cooked to perfection, glossy and moist, it came with caper berries that exploded in your mouth with juicy flavour ,the chard,orange,almonds and quinoa complimented the Turbot each in their own way like having four separate dishes but each compilmenting each other.I am hard to please but the location service and most of all the food was one of the best I have ever had ,they allowed us to bring our dog in and after the meal walk around the garden were they grow their own herbs and vegetables ,what an experience at a very resonable price ,10 outa 10

25/03/2025: Lovely brown bread baked fresh, and rolls, their ham is lovely and coleslaw

15/03/2025: Tierney's Costcutter is a wonderful store that goes beyond the concept of a typical convenience store. I was especially surprised by the variety of handmade baked goods, bread, and side dishes. The St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes were so cute that I ended up buying them. I was able to enjoy the atmosphere of a "community-based store" unique to Ireland, which is different from Japanese convenience stores. A great spot to grab some food while in Ennis.
