The best restaurants in Clare

25/01/2026: Need an overhaul .smaller towns have better shops and selections.

23/12/2025: Only really go here for subway on my break but what I can see looks good atm dunnes tesco off licence etc etc

22/11/2025: Great tasty food. We weren't left hungry that's for sure. Lovely staff and great service. Thanks Ramond

13/11/2025: I couldn't recommend enough. Superb food for a party of 8 people. Surprise menus were incredible, well worth trying.

05/12/2025: If you're looking for well priced, brilliant food with really friendly staff and lovely surroundings, come here. Perfect for a romantic dinner or simply to meet friends. Love this place!

06/09/2025: Very high quality food and nice ambiance. Both breakfast and lunch have lovely options

23/11/2025: I'm sorry to say that the food was very mediocre, not authentic at all (Aldis own brand Italian meals are better). Waitresses chewing gum and use of frozen chicken wasn't appreciated neither. We had to ask twice for the parmesan cheese and was given about two teaspoons. We spent 48 euros for our two main meals, one glass of wine and a small bottle of Heineken lager.

10/11/2025: Some of the best Italian food I have had in years. Didn't expect it to be as good. Sea food chowder was amazing along with the other meals. Recommend the red sauce over the pesto for more flavor. All food is made to order so plan ahead for a bit of a wait for food after you order. House red is nice also

06/01/2026: We stopped for lunch without a reservation; the bouillabaisse-style fish soup was delicious, and the mussels in sauce were spectacular. The service was good, friendly, and there was very chill piano music in the background.

28/12/2025: Great hotel. The staff is very friendly, the restaurant superb, the rooms are well equiped, clean en spacious. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed live folk music in the pub at two of them. I hate to write this down because we would prefer this this to be a hidden gem for ages. But on the other hand: these people deserve bus loads of guests. Thanks Wild Atlantic Lodge!

04/11/2025: Great service from the manager. Lovely meal of Guinness beef stew.

14/08/2025: Excellent vegetarian stir fry and cheesecake dessert!

16/11/2025: Fantastic food and really good service. Staff are so welcoming and really really helpful. Great with our kids - recommended

17/10/2025: Everything was great. My son was especially delighted.

09/01/2026: My favourite cafe, full of warmth and authentic Italian treats. They know their food. I love the relaxed vibe and quirky decor. Made feel so welcome and I always leave with a smile. My favourite spot to visit in the area.

21/12/2025: It's nice but can be cramped when busy. Nice staff, great pizza.

10/10/2025: Great pastries. Really nice staff. One of my favorite spots in Ennis

28/09/2025: The bread aection is a bit limited. I had the Guinness bread with a cappuccino and enjoyed them both. There was also a nice selection of pastries, salads, hot and cold sandwiches but didn't have any. Staff is courteous and efficient.

15/10/2025: We were visiting from the states and came here! The food was great and the people were better. This is definitely worth stopping for!

13/10/2025: Great food!! Ordered the Christmas sambo and soup, it was 10/10 - one to remember. Great selection of treats too.

30/10/2025: Food here is the best you can get in Ennis, The staff here are so nice and helpful. I recommend the sweet and sour chicken and sizzling beef as they are just delicious. In fact everything here is delicious and let loose. 10/10

18/09/2025: Lovely meal and friendly staff

18/10/2025: Had a great first time experience here, lovely little spot, the food (I had the full Irish) was excellent, perfectly cooked. Service staff were working hard but very attentive. I also had the apple pie - just do that :) They have tables availible in the main pub if you see it full, so just ask. Highly recommend this place for great atmosphere, tasty food and great staff, this is how it should be done. Be aware there are limited Gluten free options.

22/07/2025: Nice spot for quick pint in the beer garden with the dogs Was confirmed couldn't sit inside with the dogs, no issue, but as we left we noticed another dog that arrived at same time was still sat inside - must have been a local so different rules apply.

15/09/2025: We went there for dinner. Stuffed pork loin with gravy, vegetables, and potatoes. It tasted delicious. The service was also very good. Thanks 😀

09/08/2025: Food was excellent, and service very efficient!

18/12/2025: Lovely food and very friendly staff, more lively than normal as it's Christmas

07/12/2025: We came to Ennis for the day as we just wanted to do something different. As we had no idea of where to eat we walked around and found The Alley Asia. We were unsure at first as there was very little people inside but we came in and we were greeted with a smile and the waiter knew his job, gave us the menus and gave us time to decide. The meal was way beyond our expectations. It came out hot, freshly cooked and the right size portions. It was a very satisfying meal. While we were there a steady flow of people came in either for takeaway or sitting in. We would highly recommend The Alley Asia. We will be back again. Even thinking about our meal our mouth is watering.

15/01/2026: I love the food here. Unlike other Asian restaurants in Ireland, this one is fresh and excellent tasting! Try the Prawn Chop Suey!

04/01/2026: The food was brilliant, and the young waitress who attended us was really friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
