The best restaurants in Lahinch

29/09/2026: This was the best pain au chocolat that I ever had. Staff is really nice!!

14/09/2026: Amazing Portuguese egg tart straight from the oven.

18/09/2026: What a find, got in out of the squall blowing in off the Atlantic. Killing a little time before flying home. A Guinness and Kenny's Chicken Curry was a perfect late lunch. Look forward to coming back in November.

08/09/2026: Excellent late bar with incredible live music

26/09/2026: One of the best coffees I have ever had

16/09/2026: Milk used in coffee is cheap mass produced.. use and support local if you are also hoping to be supported as a small local business. I dont know where the eggs are from… are they local are they free range? Pancakes were nice. Coffee took very long time to come and served in a chipped cup which is un-sanitary. Overall it wasnt bad but i think there is a lot more they could be doing to be worthy of 5 stars.

14/09/2026: I’d give 5 stars because the food is great. But it’s 3 because it’s a complete nightmare to get them to answer the phone for a takeaway (in fact I still can’t get a call to go through even after verifying the number with them) and it takes too long to go in, order and wait when you’re in a hurry..

09/09/2026: We had a wonderful time there; the welcome was quick and warm. We had the fish appetizer, fish and chips, and chicken kyiv! It was so delicious and the portions were generous! The atmosphere was cozy.

13/09/2026: Great food. Friendly staff. Wide international range for such a small place.

07/09/2026: Thoroughly enjoyable dining experience over the weekend of The Walker Cup. Knowledgeable, helpful staff and delicious fresh and tasty food! Loved it!

30/08/2026: Absolutely out of this world 10/10

29/08/2026: The best pastries on the west coast

17/09/2026: Of all the places we've eaten at in Ireland these past few days, I think this is the best. The food was simply delicious. Great service and a very reasonable price. I highly recommend it, and I will definitely be back.

15/09/2026: While I rarely write a review, this place was so nice I'm taking the time. I ordered the prawn salad at the recommendation of our waitress and so glad I did. It was quite unique and delicious. Generous portion! My husband got the wings, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He dug right in before I could get a picture. Staff was very attentive, but not intrusive. Would definitely go back!

12/09/2026: Fantastic spot in Lahinch. Food is great, atmosphere is friendly and casual. The real standout was the service. Everyone was so kind and helpful! They are super dog friendly and accommodating to families as well. An excellent spot if you’re visiting or a local. A great mix of families, surfers, visitors, and regulars. We’ll definitely go back! The avocado toast was spectacular.

10/09/2026: food was delicious.i got the big breakfast and my friend got the mini, we got toast and ate some but it was mouldy. staff fixed this immediately and gave us a free hot chocolate. otherwise it was amazing.

12/08/2026: We had dinner for 4. The food was excellent and service was very good, with the owner present and advising us on wines. Would highly recommend!

25/07/2026: Stayed at Vaughan Lodge and had breakfast here. What an impressive quality spread with generous portioned food from the menu and cold things from the buffet. There was a wide varieties of cold cuts, cheeses, spreads, cereals and nuts with 3 different types of plant milk. The note was thoughtful about minimizing food waste. Service was lovely.

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

19/09/2026: My favorite pub with my favorite bartender Mike, the cutest and the nicest during my Ireland trip. The owner Peter, was just as kind. I’m guessing it’s a local bar, they always made me feel like one when I went in. Highly recommend! I will be back! Outside garden with great music! Perfectly served Guinness!!

07/09/2026: Was very disappointed with our visit. We went in for a pint around midday over Walker Cup weekend, and the place wasn’t particularly busy. Unfortunately, the two young lads behind the bar were probably the most unwelcoming fellas we’ve ever come across. We walked in and weren’t even greeted with a hello or anything. The chap serving us barely looked at us and practically grunted when we ordered two pints. There was also plenty of swearing and carrying on between the lads behind the bar, which didn’t exactly make us feel welcome. We had our pints and headed off down the road, where we visited a few other bars and were made feel much more welcome. It’s a real shame because the bar has a very good reputation and the owner is obviously a good operator. I’ve no doubt that if he, or an experienced barman, had been behind the counter, the experience would have been completely different. Unfortunately, first impressions count. We went in expecting a bit of the traditional Irish welcome and got the complete opposite. A real shame, and very disappointing in reality given the reputation the place has.

27/05/2026: Was really impressed with my stay here. Very close to the beach. I unfortunately didn’t get any names of the staff but it was one girl in the dining room and a very friendly man at the front desk. They were very welcoming and accommodated us perfectly. The room was basic but the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast we had was a bonus and it was very tasty and the girl was a very friendly server. They let us use facilities after checkout since we spent the day at the beach before leaving Lahinch. I would definitely come back here if I ever visit again!

21/04/2026: Great location, lovely service. Lots of renovations have been done recently, bed very comfy, bathrooms new - what more could you ask for. Cleanliness excellent and breakfast very tasty. I will be back - Des, from Desmond Tours
