The best restaurants in Lahinch

27/11/2025: This is a big cold, but they have the best sausage roll in all of Ireland. No greasy, or cheap sausage meat…full of rich flavour and delicious flaky pastry. The Portuguese Pastel de Nata, straight out of the oven was better than any I have had in Portugal…well at least as good as! Great coffee as well! Friendly people!

30/10/2025: Pleasant surprise finding baked goods of such high quality in such a small town, great coffee too!

06/01/2026: We had a wonderful meal...a lovely evening near the cliffs. Excellent live music.

02/01/2026: Have been here a couple of times , the food , the music , and of course the criac are all unbeatable here , my favourite places to go when I’m in lahinch ! And the aul fella in behind the bar always looks after us, Glen is his name I think

05/12/2025: Always a great experience going to Danny Mac's. Food is good, service is good, always able to get a seat. At least in the off season.

03/11/2025: We visited as a group of 7 whilst visiting Co Clare on a short break. Our experience was mostly very good, the chowder was excellent, the vol-au-vents, pasta dish and fish were very good, however the burgers were dry and chewy, edible non the less but the only downside.

19/11/2025: Dodi Cafe offers really delicious coffee specialties and a great breakfast burger. Cozy place, friendly service. Highly recommended!

17/11/2025: Really good! Had a great, proper espresso and the loaded sourdough that I had was amazing, so flavourful and well spiced. It was a real standout meal on my Ireland trip!

03/01/2026: Had the mussels, the crab cake with smoked fish, the lamb and the panfried hake. The crab cake was the best part of the meal for sure, although the others weren’t bad either.

28/12/2025: I ordered chowder soup – what I got were two pieces of fish and some doughy lumps, more like glue than soup. The waitress took the plate away, but nobody in the kitchen apologized or offered an alternative. I left hungry and disappointed. Seriously, this is not how guests should be treated....

24/10/2025: This is the place to stay when visiting Lahinch. Less than a 5-minute walk to both the town and Lahinch GC. Onsite restaurant is excellent for both breakfast and dinner, and the staff is marvelous.

07/10/2025: Always a Joy to Visit, The Welcome is Warm , Friendly and Helpful. The Staff are Exceptional

10/01/2026: Fast service. Large and varied portions. Cozy dining room. Friendly waitresses. Good prices.

04/01/2026: Truly excellent promenade cafe/restaurant. The chef here is clearly a bit of genius with real passion for great food. This time we had the Dhall again(always amazing) and the chicken schwarma was just from heaven. Staff are friendly and helpful. They are so popular and well deserved !

01/10/2025: The food is outstanding. The service is superb. The atmosphere is arguably the best part. The dimmed lights and music are perfect. I’m so glad we found this dinner spot!

01/10/2025: We were on holiday passing through Lahinch and selected The Edge for an early dinner at the recommendation of the owner of (or a worker in) Sue’s Lahinch Limited clothing store. It was an excellent dining experience, from the service, atmosphere, cleanliness and timing. But what’s most memorable for me and my husband was the SEAFOOD CHOWDER!! It is quite literally the best soup I’ve ever had in a restaurant! I am certain, the next time we visit Ireland we’ll plan a few days in Lahinch for sole purpose of enjoying the seafood chowder, oh and dining experience too! Kudos to the chef and the creator of the recipe. Know that I will be craving your soup from Ohio, likely for the rest of my life 😍. Well Done!!

08/08/2025: Very welcoming and friendly. The staff were so nice and accomodating. Great atmosphere and spotless toilets. Really lovely pint also.

24/07/2025: Absolutely spotless pub and very welcoming The owner gave us a tour and explained the whole story of the place and how it had been lovingly re built . A great place to visit 👌🏼

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.

08/11/2025: Great coffee, great freshly baked bread and pastel de nadas 👌🏼🤙🏻🙌🏻

10/10/2025: Excellent coffee. All of the sandwiches are good as are the pasties de nata. The rest on offer looked superb as well. We went back 3 times
