The best restaurants in Kilkee

23/06/2024: Had a gorgeous meal for my birthday in pollock &porter. Thoroughly enjoyed, wonderful food, great value for a quality meal, gorgeous cocktails served in beautiful glassware. Will definitely be going again.

04/06/2024: My partner and I ate here over the June Bank Holiday Weekend, and all I can say is that it was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. We started with the crab claws, which were so beautifully cooked and full of flavour. We struggled to choose our mains because we wanted to try everything, so my partner had the Sole and I had the duck, and we shared. Both meals were delicious and between the amazing food and beautiful wine we left there very satisfied. I cannot recommend this fabulous restaurant enough. I will certainly be back. We were delighted to meet the chef and pass on our thanks to him ourselves. Such a lovely talented man. Thank you for such a wonderful evening.

15/03/2025: Nowhere will compete for sitting with a coffee and traybake watching waves crashing on the stunning headlands, after a dip in the Pollock Holes. Fantastic little spot and the food has never disappointed either. I've sat for many an hour in here and brought groups here too over the years. Perhaps my favourite coffee spot on the whole of the Wild Atlantic Way (and I've done all of it). (I remember when this was a pitch and putt course that we used to frequent every week in the summer. I was gutted when it turned into a cafe, but actually my adult-self now thinks it's the best thing ever! Not surprised at all that it's started doing wedding things, as it would be a dream venue to shoot photos on the Diamond Rocks, Amphitheatre etc nearby.)

03/11/2024: Nice place with a great view of kilkee. The blue pools when the tide is out are legendry. With cliff walks and magnificent sea views, the Dimond rocks are great to come back and relax to. Even if it's a tea and scone.

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!

22/09/2024: Amazing seafood dishes here. Love it. We will definitely be back. 👍👍👍

07/04/2025: Popped in for breakfast, unfortunately the kitchen was closed today. Had a sausage roll and cake with a really good coffee. Everything was very good and the café is really bright and airy. Nice outdoor seating area too. Would definitely recommend!

03/04/2025: OMG delicious, we drove an hour from Doolin and stopped here for breakfast on the way to Dingle. We got the Pancakes, breakfast Bap, chocolate croissant, cappuccino, and orange juice and it was all delicious!

11/03/2025: The hotel was in a great location , and the receptionist was lovely and very helpful . The room was quite large, which was a bonus, but they could do with a bigger tv if you were staying for any length of time .

08/03/2025: Good location, close to the beach and walking distance to pubs and restaurants.

09/03/2025: Staff are great, great energy in this bar. Manager is rude but apart from him. This is a great spot for a pint.

16/02/2025: Staff were fantastic. Great atmosphere and decent pints! Would definitely be my local if I lived in Kilkee!

04/03/2025: Went just for a quick grab, and it was absolutely lovely. The food was amazing and atmosphere lovely.

23/02/2025: Stopped in this morning for breakfast. Real good quality, and very reasonable. Enjoyed a chat with John. Looking for to coming back in June this time to stay for a few nights.

26/02/2025: First thing first ... The coffee was great 👍 if you love a good cup of coffee, this is the place. There's hot food options like toastie, panini and baps and a great selection of delicious cakes. There's also an outside sitting area to enjoy the sun and fresh air , also heater above outside table if it gets a bit frosty.

04/11/2024: I love this family run café. The coffee is good but the sweet treats and fresh bread baked in store every day are even better. The staff are always so nice and the service is great. A-must-visit in Kilkee.
