The best restaurants in Clare

17/05/2026: Great cozy place! Good selection of drinks! Delicious, but the menu is "like everyone else's." Very clean, good service. A great spot for birdwatching.

16/05/2026: Wonderful, kind and friendly service, and the food is excellent as well. It’s a bit more expensive than usual (comparable to the Temple Bar district in Dublin), but the price-performance ratio is absolutely fair. Definitely worth a stop if you’re passing through!

14/12/2025: Often pop in here for some chips and a hot drink while waiting for the buses that leave from the back. Lovely atmosphere. Always warm and friendly staff.

23/08/2025: authentic church atmosphere and good food

17/05/2026: Great Restaurant and bar,prices are very reasonable and staff are friendly.

25/04/2026: Great food lovely staff ok prices

07/04/2026: Very good food and reasonable price love ❤️ Mr kebab

14/12/2025: Its the best bar in town, if you want to meet people and chat like bars were years ago its the place to go, all ages of people chatting with one another, no tvs spoiling the atmosphere.

28/10/2025: Came back to this pub yesterday…Forget my previous review…Its even better than what I originally wrote.If you’re in Clare this is a must,otherwise you have missed out…..Its one of the great Irish pubs that quietly exist and are waiting to be discovered.This is my original review… This pub was recommended to me as having the best pint in Lahinch.It has possibly the best pint of Guinness Ive ever had.The staff are great and the owner is very chatty and friendly.The bar itself is exactly what a bar should be and theres a big beer garden outside for when the sun shines.10/10.Looking forward to returning soon.

04/09/2025: Good pint of Guinness. Nice atmosphere. Well staffed.

11/05/2026: The whole family had a very good experience at the Long Dock pub. It was recommended by our host during our stay in Co. Clare, and I’m glad she did. Great food and a lovely spot, especially on a sunny day with the live music. The mussels are a must‑try. The only small suggestion would be a wider selection of tap (local) beers, but overall we really enjoyed it.

09/05/2026: Booked an early meal this evening and so very happy that we did so. My husband chose the Irish Stew which had plenty of lamb and was full of flavour. It could only have been better with a slice of bread to accompany it. For myself, I chose the Crab and Mussel Linguine from the Specials Board. Probably the most enjoyable seafood linguine I have had. Full of crab. Apparently it was sold out within 40 minutes of our being seated. Congratulations to the chef for this addition to the menu and to the young lady and gentleman serving us, who made us feel very welcome.

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

17/05/2026: Stayed here recently for a wedding I was working locally the next morning. Upon arrival I was greeted with a friendly face and we chatted about my journey from Sligo. The lovely receptionist saw my kit and the amount of bags I had with me and immediately upgraded my room and put me on ground floor so I would have more space to move around and have easy access to exit in the morning. This was extremely considerate and thoughtful. I had dinner there too and it was delicious, not forgetting to mention a lovely buffet breakfast was had the next morning to set me up for my busy day ahead. The receptionist also asked if I needed an earlier breakfast, which was again really appreciated. Thank you so much for your care and attentiveness during my stay x

15/05/2026: We wanted to go to the hotel restaurant and were not exactly given a warm welcome; in fact, we were ignored. An older lady did quickly show guests who arrived after us to a table. Apparently, they want a specific type of guest inside. We left quickly because, frankly, the restaurant wasn't a match for us either. But hospitality and politeness cost nothing…

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.

27/07/2025: A bald man working there is the worst treatment anyone could possibly have. We asked the owner if we could bring in outside food, and she said yes. Then, when the man saw us with the food, he told us we couldn't bring in outside food and that "what the hell were we doing eating outside food in his pub?" We put the food away without arguing after telling him his wife had told us she'd left us, and he didn't care. We then left the establishment and returned to use the bathroom, and when I was peeing, he opened the door and started yelling at me that this wasn't a public restaurant until he kicked me out. As a 16-year-old boy, this really bothered me and I felt humiliated. He treated us that way because we were Spanish; it was basically racist. After kicking us out of the pub, he even wanted us to leave the street and, screaming, he chased us out. The worst experience in Ireland, never go there!

04/07/2025: My wife Donna and I walked in and immediately felt like we were home. Joan was a very gracious hostess. Joan gave us the history of the establishment and the town. We came back the next day because it was a great place. Ireland in itself is a great place. All the people we met during out holiday made us feel like we were home.

16/05/2026: The host was amazing! Eddie definitely made our night memorable. The lamb was really good, but the monk fish was definitely the best I ever had (it’s a most try). The pavlova was alright, however it was advised to try the vegan mousse, which retrospectively we should have followed the advise. Never posted a review, but everything was so great that felt the need to. PS: we had the mussels as a starter and it was amazing!!

01/04/2026: I was attending a wedding in hotel Doolin and I had the opportunity to have the breakfast at Glas. It was absolutely outstanding. The pictures speak for themselves. I had the smoked fish and it was one of the best breakfasts ive ever had. Superb service.

22/12/2025: Bless is my favorite cafe. The staff, the food, the atmosphere are top notch. great place to meet up with friends. Highly recommended !

09/12/2025: Always a lovely place to go for lunch, treats and a cuppa. And the breakfast… one word, yum. The friendliest of staff too. Highly recommend.
