The best restaurants in Clare

23/05/2025: Friendly staff and a great place for a chat over a few pints and Tayto salad

09/05/2025: Wow!! What a fabulous pub. Myself and friends were in Cooleys a few weeks ago while we were in Enistymon celebrating a friends birthday. The lovely lady behind the bar came out with a mini muffin with a candle and drinks while kicking off a rendition of happy birthday and having a song played in her honour. Going above and beyond doesn’t even come close. To top that off it was a great spot with fantastic music and atmosphere. Will definitely be back!! Thank you so much. Would highly recommend

24/05/2025: Visited last week while passing though and was delighted with the place . A proper original Irish bar that hasn’t been messed around with. Beautiful front bar and lovely pints of porter. Had a good chat with Peter, really enjoyed spending a couple hours there. Will certainly call again when I’m back down that way

22/05/2025: Bar hopped around Lahinch and this was our favorite. I’m a foreigner so I can’t say how the Guiness pour is, but it was photographic. Bar tenders were super friendly and welcoming.

23/05/2025: The hot chocolate in the paper cup tasted like flavored milk foam. It has nothing to do with chocolate. 😩

23/05/2025: chocolate in the coffee shop is nothing special. taste like powder with milk.

31/12/2024: Family owned and run public house. Excellent service and one of the best pints of Guinness in town. Traditional Irish music several nights a week.

13/10/2024: Great bar, lovely people and a wonderful night out, would highly recommend a visit 🍻

15/04/2025: We tasted 3 products, each as good as the other, served by the very friendly seller :)

01/05/2025: Needed a late lunch stop on our drive. Blessed to find a parking space in front of this restaurant. Excellent food served by very friendly staff. My wife said the salad was best ever.

22/12/2024: The staff are very nice, it’s very reasonably priced, it’s in a very good location and the Wi-Fi is very good Most importantly!

27/04/2025: Noel's restaurant was recommended by our B&B host as an ideal place in Bunratty to celebrate a loved one's birthday and she was right ! It's a dinner we will remember. The owner and the staff are really kind and welcoming, both the food and wine are delicious and visually pleasing.

03/04/2025: Wonderful evening at the manor delicious dinner and selection of breads so tasty. best desserts, service was so smooth it was exceptional. It was the most relaxing evening out in a long time well done to all.

09/01/2025: I arrived in this place by chance. Curiosity made me enter, I had a lovely bruschetta and a wonderful carbonara. My congratulations

31/12/2024: My favourite Italian restaurant. Owned by an Italian couple. Beautiful food and wine, very efficient, professional, and friendly staff. Tables are limited, so you are best to book in advance. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

24/04/2025: The food was incredible, and the service friendly and kind. The prices were also very fair, making the whole experience even better. A big recommendation — definitely worth a visit!

27/02/2025: Enjoyed the meal tonight, perfect service and delicious food. Highly recommended!

28/02/2025: Comimos aquí dos veces. Una vez en persona y otra con servicio de habitaciones. Primero cenando. El restaurante es absolutamente hermoso. Cada persona que trabaja aquí es profesional, pero también amable y una alegría para hablar. Nos hicieron sentir tan especiales y también como si fuéramos amigos. Como nota complementaria rápida, en el bar, el joven que trabaja allí también es una joya. Dromoland Castle es una suerte tener un personal tan encantador. Para nuestra comida, nos trajeron pan y mantequilla. Se sirve frío. Preferimos el pan caliente, pero el pan frío era lo normal en los restaurantes que visitábamos. Para empezar tuvimos el tartar de atún y la sopa Tom, se nos olvidó todo el nombre. Ambos eran tan buenos. El atún sabía fresco y la sopa estaba caliente y muy bueno. Para la red, pedimos el filete de angus y la olla pollo asado. El filete era tierno y sabroso. El pollo servido no era lo que figuraba en el menú. En el menú no hay menciones de setas o pasta y se enumera como una comida sin gluten. Lo que se sacó fue pollo con pasta y hongos. No dije nada, solo aparté la pasta y los hongos del pollo, comiendo solo la carne. El pollo estaba perfectamente cocinado y era bueno. Para el postre, pedimos el helado de vainilla y sorbete, delicioso y ligero. La noche siguiente pedimos servicio de habitaciones. Intentamos pedir el filete de nuevo, pero nos dijeron que no estaba en el menú. Así que pedimos el tartar de atún (de nuevo) y la costilla corta de angus negro. Los caballeros que trajeron nuestra comida lo preparó tan agradable y de nuevo fueron geniales. El atún estaba tan bueno como la noche anterior. Las costillas cortas estaban tiernas, pero mi marido prefería el filete de la noche anterior, solo su gusto personal. En conjunto, este es un restaurante maravilloso con buena comida y gente encantadora.

15/02/2025: Absolutely beautiful Valentine’s Day dinner here ♥️ I got the oysters, chicken and strawberry dessert. My partner loved his crab gnocchi, venison and pecan dessert ✨ Amuse bouche and complimentary sweet treats to top it all off! On top of a lovely rose and chocolates as a Valentine’s Day treat 💘 Thanks so much to Ian, Eric, Lily and the whole team for taking care of us from start to finish! Also absolutely beautiful harp playing 🎼 I loved it and highly recommend for your special occasions

04/05/2025: Lovely atmosphere, warm & welcoming staff. Manager Conor was very informative. Fire in the stove & the wonderful guitar musician really added to our experience. Our mearls were excellent, Seabass mains & homemade lemon posset & tiramisu. Good coffee & lovely french white wine topped off our meals. We will definifsly return to Byrne's.

16/05/2025: Just had a quick bite here which I enjoyed. Staff attentive and prices reasonable. Food was good.

08/05/2025: This is a lovely cafe restaurant with the best of food and excellent friendly friendly service. One of the many highlights was when the main lady gave me soda bread with our breakfast as I asked about it as customer s beside our table near to us were having it. This cafe makes their own bread and buns and the prices are so reasonable. The food is really well freshly cooked and presented and the friendly staff makes this a place not to be missed. I highly recommend and I'm looking forward to being back again very soon .
