The best restaurants in Clare

28/05/2025: My Wife and I enjoyed a light lunch at Preachers pub on Wednesday 28th May 2025 and it was wonderful. My Wife opted for chicken wings and a latte, while I chose Soup and Coffee, both wonderful. Thank you Alice, Sean and Jack for a delightful experience. We will be back.

19/04/2025: Top class service. Well trained staff. Top class food. Great location. Was not overly busy, so the atmosphere was a little subdued, but this suited me perfectly. Highly recommend.

04/04/2025: Absolutely lovely! First time of many ♥️ They were pretty full but their service was smooth, nice, clean. Everything was lovely, we didn’t wait long for the food, waitresses were super gentle and friendly, the food tasty, delicious and fresh. We will be back to try their pizzas again. FULLY RECOMMENDED 🤗🤗🤗🤗

03/04/2025: Love it!! The food and staff are amazing!!

29/12/2024: Nice little cafe with a big selection of bread and pastries.

13/03/2025: By far the coziest pub in Ennis. Lovely patrons, barman, and Craic. A hidden gem. Stop by if you want good conversation, banter, and a feel of community. Nick and I will be back every opportunity we can. Thanks, fellas!

19/10/2024: A great local bar/shop hasn't changed in decades,a pint of Guinness still under a fiver.

12/06/2025: What an absolute gem of a spot! We stopped into O’Mara’s Bar in Kilkee and ended up having one of the best nights of our entire trip. This place is everything you want in a classic Irish pub—warm, welcoming, full of character, and absolutely buzzing with energy. The real star of the show? Eugene, the owner. What a legend! He’s the kind of person who makes you feel like a local the second you walk in the door. Full of charm, stories, and unbeatable craic, Eugene brings the whole place to life. You’ll come in for a quiet pint and end up staying for hours, chatting, laughing, and maybe even singing along with a few tunes. The pints were perfect, the atmosphere was unbeatable, and the sense of community was something really special. Whether you’re just passing through Kilkee or you’re lucky enough to live nearby, O’Mara’s is the kind of pub you’ll never forget. We’ll 100% be back—and we’re bringing more friends with us next time!

09/05/2025: Loved O’Maras and Eugene is top! So kind and such a welcoming pub. And dog friendly! ❤️

12/07/2025: Once a year I make my pilgrimage to the west of clare and every year I return to Ali G takeaway I don't think I've ever had a better meat feat pizza in my life. Ali G has made its way into my heart and will never be forgotten. When Jesus's resurrection occurred he did it for an Ali G kebab. Sound lads.

10/07/2025: Love this place great pizza excellent service

17/05/2025: Recently finished a motorcycle trip round some of the Wild Atlantic Way and this place was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. It was recommended by our hotel who booked us a table at very short notice which was very helpful as when we arrived the place was packed. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We tried one of the beers they make in their own microbrewery which was excellent. For starters my wife had the chowder and I had the prawns from the specials board. Both were excellent. We both had the steak and ale pie, with mash and my wife thought the gravy which came with the mash was amazing. The live music was very good (obviously depends whether you like traditional Irish music or not). What I particularly liked was that the music was at a volume where you could listen to it but still have a conversation. We were so impressed with the whole experience that we booked a table for the following night. This was a good choice as we were able to try the Halibut dish which was on the specials board. It was absolutely fantastic. Not quite Michelin star but not far off. The second night also gave us a chance to try one of the other beers they make as well as trying their own whiskey which is definitely worth a go. My only slight grumble is that the main menu includes a couple of choices of wine which we chose from on our first visit however when we went on the second night we were given a full wine list. If you're going ask for the full wine list as there are some very nice wines on there. A couple of points to note - Book a table and get in early as the specials board seems to run out very quick. Probably because the food on it is superb. Definitely try something from the specials board. This probably isn't the cheapest place you can go but it is value for money as the food is exceptionally high quality. I can't recommend this place highly enough. The staff were fantastic, especially Andrew and Bridie. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was so welcoming. We're planning to do the west coast of Ireland next year again and will probably have to plan a route where we can stop here again.

10/05/2025: Nous avons attendu au bar 10 minutes sans que personne ne s'occupe de nous, pour que enfin on nous dise que la cuisine fermait. Il était 19h50 !

14/06/2025: Great staff, great food. Really accommodating and lovely atmosphere.

02/06/2025: We were there on a Sunday a few weeks ago and the food was good, but the service was overwhelmed. We didn't get water, others who arrived later were given the menu before us, and then our food was forgotten, and they only asked us what we had ordered later.

22/05/2025: Visiting from Canada, we stopped at the pub between our visit to the Kilfenora Cathedral, the Visitor Centre and the Doolin Caves, and we loved it. The host is wonderful, had a great chat with him. His bar is spotless, clean and has an Irish charm about it. Definitely recommend this pub, after driving around the area.
