The best restaurants in Ennis

18/10/2026: We had breakfast at the cafe and we really enjoyed our experience. Great quality for the price, excellent service. Will be our go to spot every time we are in Ennis.

02/10/2026: Love food served here. Enjoy my soup and rap thank you

26/09/2026: Well worth queuing up for the best bread, pastry and coffee in town!

09/09/2026: Amazing food, amazing service, seems so friendly and fun!

13/09/2026: Amazing Irish stew! Staff very very friendly

13/09/2026: Great food and a great pint.Friendly staff and a great atmosphere 👍

27/07/2026: Very nice old hotel. Lots of character. Very nice staff and great breakfast. If you like modern hotels this is not for you but if you like old world charm even if a little rustic then this is the place to stay. Great location in the heart of Ennis walking distance to everything the town has to offer however, inside the grounds it is quite secluded and feels private. Our room was great, huge with A/C and if if the decor was a little dated it was still great.

22/06/2026: Our stay at this hotel has been amazing. The staff is incredible, especially Colin at the poets corner bar made our experience top notch. We really appreciate him and all the staff.

15/09/2026: Food was amazing ! Corina was very kind

13/09/2026: Very tasty, the cannelloni was perfect, thanks Karina for being so kind!

22/09/2026: We’ve eaten here many times and will continue to come back. The food is delicious. We generally get the Nepalese thali but have a tried multiple different things. Food is delicious and service is excellent. The owner is always asking for feedback and genuinely interested in providing the best experience. We will be back.

20/09/2026: I don’t normally leave reviews, especially bad ones, but I was deeply disappointed with my experience a couple of weeks ago. Shortly after arriving and being seated, I noticed someone (who I believe is the owner) clipping his fingernails at the table closest to the kitchen. Although this is off putting enough, the bathroom was also SO unclean, with no soap available. The water containers had black mould growing on the lids, and although I pointed this out to the waiter, another one without a lid was brought. We then saw the lid that had been taken off and placed on another table (photographed below) which also had mould growing. It’s such a pity to have to leave a bad review, but I could not enjoy the food knowing how unclean the environment around us was. The staff are very friendly but unfortunately this does not make up for the lack of hygiene. Hopefully this can improve, as I would love to see more varieties of food available in Ennis.

07/10/2026: The barman is probably the rudest person in Ennis. We'll never be back there. Yes,the small one.

05/10/2026: We enjoyed the food at Brogan’s and the atmosphere was lively, although quite loud. Service was a little slow, and our server was very soft-spoken, which made things difficult to hear. It also seemed the bartender was stretched thin helping with drinks. Overall, we had a good meal and enjoyed our visit.

02/10/2026: Great food, friendly staff. Good value.

26/09/2026: Tastes good but 20 quid for a brunch and coffee and I still left hungry. Small portions mean the value just isn't there, for those prices I need to leave stuffed.

16/09/2026: Excellent food brilliant service such an ideal place to hop off motorway we were heading g to Galway from Shannon

01/09/2026: Nicest restaurant in Clare, food is excellent, staff very friendly & the atmosphere is very great. Love coming here when I'm in Ennis, it's simply the best place to eat.

15/07/2026: Update: Really disappointed to have to update my initial review. After eating here for the 4th time and ordering the same dish “soup and sandwich” which is listed as (ALWAYS Gluten free) I was told that they would have to switch out the bread with gluten free bread. I always order it as “can I get the gluten free soup and sandwich and have never been told about the bread before. Which confused me for a menu item listed as “Always” gluten free ?? I clarified at the counter and it was confirmed that the always gluten free dish is actually only gluten free upon request which is what should actually be written on the menu. I am Coeliac and although I don’t get violently sick - eating gluten poisons my body and effects all aspects of my health for months after being glutened, it’s so hard to find places that make me feel safe to eat out and I’m just devastated to find that my favourite place has been glutening me. I cannot understand the logic behind advertising a dish as Always gluten free when half of the dish is not !! Be aware any coeliacs that might get caught out here.

14/07/2026: Great lunch today. Friendly and smiling service. Quality products. We were even offered small smoothies with our order. Highly recommended!

22/09/2026: Everything was fabulous! Excellent food and good service. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. We tried the duck and chorizo salad, seafood chowder, goat cheese and onion, fish and chips, and leg of lamb. Every dish was prepared to perfection and presented beautifully. We will be back again the next time we have something to celebrate.

06/09/2026: Spectacular homemade food, they have a daily menu at very affordable prices. 100% recommended if you're in the area

27/10/2026: Best Indian food in Ennis and very friendly staff.

26/10/2026: Everything was soooooo goood. Delicious food and menu, lovely spacious dining area, and great value on top of all of that. We’ll be back.

04/10/2026: The onion bhaji is the best I have ever had. The lamb madras is perfect spiced. They delivered a long distance to me but the food was fresh. Poppadoms were still crunchy. Will be ordering again.

28/09/2026: Used to be much better. Portion sizes are abysmall and we're all suffering the next day ...

09/10/2026: An excellent cafe, very friendly staff, any dish I have ordered is always a 10/10. Top quality food at a reasonable price. Well worth a stop if passing.

16/07/2026: Lovely spot with friendly staff

03/10/2026: Unfortunately had very weird experience. I ordered Putanesca Past and in the menu has no indication of spices in the dish. However when the food arrived it was very very spicy. I even asked my husband to try and he also could not cope with the amount of spices. I spoke to the lady that was in charge of the restaurant that day and she apologized and changed my plate which was very nice. However when was time to pay the lady come to us whit the bill arguing that my food was not spicy and maybe I just picked one tiny bit of chili (that was not true because the entire dish was very spicy). She also said she tried my plate that I returned to confirm it. I don’t think this comment was necessary and I felt very uncomfortable she tried my plate that my husband and I have already eaten. For me 2 issues here: 1 no indication of spices ( I’m glad I was not allergic), 2 eaten clients food is not a very good health and safety standard and raise my concerns. Unfortunately I do not come back.

02/10/2026: Excellent solo lunch here today. Highly recommend.
