Bought some of the prepack chicken and veg and lasagne and fish pie all of which have been used and enjoyed. Would consider stopping again when passing

01/03/2025: Lignum, the newly minted 1-star Michelin restaurant helmed by owner and chef Danny, is a true testament to the art of cooking with fire and a deep appreciation for the people behind the ingredients. From the moment you step inside, it’s clear that this restaurant is more than just a dining experience; it’s a celebration of quality, craftsmanship, and family. Chef Danny’s dedication to showcasing the very best ingredients from the talented farmers, growers, and producers is evident in every dish. The centerpiece of the restaurant, a large wood-burning oven, adds a distinct character to the meals, as the food is cooked over raw flames, imparting a smoky, robust flavour that brings out the natural essence of each ingredient. It’s a technique that’s both primal and refined, and Danny executes it with precision and artistry. The service at Lignum mirrors the food itself—refined, yet relaxed. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, guiding you through the menu with ease, while making sure you feel comfortable and at home. It’s the perfect balance of sophistication and warmth, allowing you to truly savor the experience without any pretension. One of the highlights of our visit was meeting Chef Danny’s mother, Maura, and his sister, Elizabeth, who was visiting from Australia. Their presence added a personal touch to an already intimate and welcoming atmosphere. While we didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Danny’s wife this time, it’s clear that family plays an integral role in the heart of Lignum, and we look forward to returning and hopefully meeting her on our next visit. Overall, Lignum is a dining experience that expertly blends culinary mastery with heartfelt hospitality. It’s clear that Chef Danny’s passion for food, his commitment to local producers, and the support of his close-knit family create a restaurant that stands out in every way. Nestled in the countryside with its exceptional food, warm atmosphere, and top-notch service, Lignum has certainly earned its Michelin star—and we can’t wait to return. Eanna And Danielle Ryan

27/02/2025: Best meal I have ever had...an amazing experience from leaving the car to leaving the restaurant at the end. Even the bathrooms are amazing. The food is so so good. My favourite was blue cheese ice cream covered in chocolate ganache with a sprinkle of salt. An absolute taste sensation. Expensive but definitely hope to go back.

17/03/2025: Realised when I was home they forgot two items, I rang and they said they'd ring back about a refund but didn't.

10/03/2025: Very welcoming, great service and delicious food!

11/03/2025: Siar is an absolutely wonderful cafe in the beautiful town of Kinvarra. Ciara was so friendly and helped us with local recommendations. The coffee was excellent I cannot recommend enough!

13/02/2025: It was not the kind of atmosphere I expected.

03/03/2025: Lovely breakfast and excellent service.

13/02/2025: Great food and friendly staff. I had soup and Garlic mushrooms. It was excellent.

07/03/2025: I stopped here for lunch and had one of my favorite meals while in Ireland! Their mushroom soup was divine, never tasted a better mushroom soup. I had tea and a persimmon dessert, both were delectable and all for a good price. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made my little afternoon in Clifden really standout.

09/02/2025: One of my favourite place in Clifden!

23/10/2024: Very friendly staff. Food is excellent. Great selection of dishes

22/10/2024: Amazing food and big portions I'd recommend the pizza if you like a proper Italian pizza then staff were lovely and done some candles and a cake for my partners 30th. Very tasty food and good value. They only take cash or revolut which is perfectly fine and easy to do and well worth the money. I would advise booking a table ahead of time as they can get full quickly in the evening

13/03/2025: I had the best Irish coffee there, highly recommend!

12/01/2025: Great bar make it a visit if your passing

09/02/2025: Disappointing Seating Experience As a group of Indian customers, we’ve visited this restaurant five times, including for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Unfortunately, every time we’ve been seated at the high table near the restroom, which is an uncomfortable and undesirable location. While we initially thought this might be accidental, it has happened repeatedly, even when other better tables were available. This consistent experience has left us feeling unwelcome and undervalued as customers. We enjoy the food and have returned multiple times because of that, but the seating arrangements have made our visits less enjoyable. We hope the restaurant can address this issue and ensure all customers are treated fairly and respectfully, regardless of their background.

17/01/2025: Called in for a quick bite, food was beautiful and gentleman who looked after us was outstanding, keep up the great work.

22/01/2025: I can only rate the place itself, since we arrived late to eat. It has beautiful views.

27/11/2024: The most incredible spot! One of my favorite food stops while in Ireland. Delicious food and the most amazing views. Can’t recommend this spot enough.
