The best restaurants in Clare

15/05/2025: When everything works so seamlessly it's no accident. Vaughans have been delivering top notch hospitality in Lahinch for generations. May they continue to do so.

05/05/2025: One of the best places I've ever stayed !!!!! We stayed at the hotel for a weekend and I can say it is the best hotel in Lehinche. The room is clean, spacious, newly renovated and all the right supplies . The hotel is a couple of minutes from the beach and golf club and also from the center of Lehinch where all the pubs are located. The hotel has one of the best breakfasts and dinner I have ever tasted. For breakfast you can order hot food and a very wide selection of muesli, cheeses, sausages, juices and a variety of food. Dinner is simply top notch, with an excellent drinks list. Also on the first floor there is a very cozy bar, if after a hard day you just want to relax and take a couple of drinks, you can do it in the hotel in a very cozy bar. The staff are very friendly and the service is top notch, always accommodating and you feel at home. The owner Michael and his wife Maria are such hospitable and kind people, they will do everything to make you happy after staying at the hotel. I was 10000% satisfied with my vacation at Vaughan Lodge Hotel and it exceeded all my expectations. I advise everyone, of all the hotels where I stayed in Lehincha, this is the best !

We enjoyed the atmosphere and the relaxing comfort in the bar, Tommy the owner was a Gentleman very welcoming and friendly, His staff were very friendly and helpful, his establishment in Lahinch was the cleanest bar and best run that we had seen in all our travels around Ireland 🇮🇪 we would highly recommend this Bar for a great night out

12/04/2025: Slatterys pub is a must visit if you find yourself in Lehinch! There was live Irish trad playing and the staff and owner are lovely and so welcoming. Such an authentic Irish experience!! Will definitely be coming back again when we find ourselves in the area. See you soon Mr Slattery!

04/05/2025: Wow!!! Craziness! One of the best restaurants and food we experienced on our trip to Ireland! So tasty, such large portions at reasonable prices! Top! I have rarely eaten such a good curry! Nice and attentive service, great atmosphere! We felt very comfortable and were there for 2 days!

11/03/2025: If you're ever in Kilkee, Co. Clare, Naughton’s Bar & Restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you step inside, the warmth of the welcoming staff and the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The food is nothing short of exceptional—each dish is a perfect blend of local flavors and culinary creativity. I opted for the fresh seafood platter, and it was a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds—absolutely brimming with fresh, locally sourced delights. The portions were generous, and the presentation was artful. I also tried their renowned fish and chips, which were perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The service was impeccable. The team is attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made sure that we felt at home from start to finish, offering great recommendations and making sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. The ambiance is perfect for any occasion—whether you’re on a romantic date, a family dinner, or a casual night out with friends, Naughton’s has the perfect vibe. They even have a great selection of craft beers and wines to complement your meal. I can't recommend Naughton’s enough—it's one of those rare places where the quality of the food, the service, and the atmosphere all come together perfectly. A true gem in Kilkee!

09/03/2025: Great night out , the cracking fire makes it more homely and welcoming, But if that's not enough the friends behind the bar will make your visit unmissable. Happy St Patrick's week to all.

21/03/2025: The salmon and gnocchi is the best I’ve ever had! What a treat! Great hosts and atmosphere - perfect split experiences of a pub area or candle-lit dining area.

24/05/2025: Rustic atmosphere. Well dated and well maintained. Our server was attending and polite. The claim chowder was great. The main course meal was good. I ordered the crab mac-n-cheese. The cheese could use a little finessing but wasn't horrible

24/05/2025: This place had been recommended by a patron I had met at a brewery a few blocks away. We were seated as soon as we walked into the place. It could have been due to the fact that it was during a weekday, but regardless we were seated quickly. I ordered a crab mac and cheese dish. It was good, real good. The server was on it with bread drinks and making sure all was good without being overly. This place is top notch. Good food, good vibe, and good service. And, yes Clark, I will be back... for more bread. To the Silver Salmon Grille Cheers!

17/05/2025: Awesome night here with great beer and live entertainment.

16/05/2025: If you are here, you should try the red ale and the lager beer made in Doolin. I drank it and liked it. The bar has a nice interior but it was noisy. It is generally a very touristy place and there are a lot of tourists.

19/04/2025: Visiting Quilty for the first time and after a long day driving we wanted something quick and tasty for dinner, we where lucky enough to have passed this bar and restaurant. The food is fantastic, loads of fish served up and the homemade curry was fricken delicious The staff are really lovely and couldn't do enough for you, highly recommend to anyone.

24/04/2025: Amazing service and food was really good :) a great choice in ennis for lunch

12/03/2025: I had the sweet potato soup along with cheese cake, and it was very nice. I didn’t use the restroom, but the dining area was clean. I dined indoors, but the outdoor seating seemed inviting, as well.

10/05/2025: This bar has delicious pizza and beer. Very good coffee. They have a wonderful outdoor area by the river but unfortunately it is only open in the evening and only in good weather. It took me a while for everything to coincide and I was able to visit their area by the river. Everything was great

05/05/2025: Great vibes lovely terrace. Nice tunes too ❤️
