The best restaurants in Bearna

05/07/2025: I was invited there – the fish is perfect. I would have eaten everything I saw in a heartbeat. Very good Pinot Grigio. Beautiful view of the pier and water.

04/07/2025: Had a big gang of people for the night before my wedding meal. Food was absolutely amazing, but the staff and management made splitting the bill very difficult and very awkward for everyone, made an unfortunate blemish on what was a lovely evening. Very unhelpful and not a smile or friendly hello to be seen.

15/07/2025: Visited this place three years back and then couple of weeks ago. In both occasions I was met with friendly staff, good atmosphere and great food. Definitely recommend.

15/07/2025: We really loved the beer garden on a sunny afternoon and they had the All Ireland football semi final on the big screen. Food looked amazing but we weren't hungry. Loads of seating inside as well. They had a nice kids menu too and the staff were lovely

07/07/2025: Really enjoyed our meal here. The food was excellent, I tasted how fresh the crab option for the starter was and the lamb and the fish options were so tasty. Only thing I might consider improving is the dessert options, they weren't as tasty in comparison to the rest of the meal unfortunately.

09/06/2025: Lovely and creative Irish dishes abound at Blackthorn. We dined on the stunning seafood options - excellent and elevated Fish and Chips with not to miss sides (gasp - the potato terrine - so delicious), delicate and delicious gambas, and a scallop starter that wowed. Unique wine offerings (a Greek white was summer in a glass) served in a statuesque Zwiesel glass and dessert that left us perfectly satiated on a chocolate cloud of happy. And the bread! Pillows of pull apart rolls! We also were enamored of the ceramic table wear and would have bought an entire set were it on offer. We had been dining out all weekend and by Sunday wanted something lighter but still culinarily creative - this was a perfect solution! Highly recommend!
