The best restaurants in Clifden

15/05/2025: We spent an unforgettable evening here, and I highly recommend everyone to come! The atmosphere is amazing, the live music – simply incredible! ...

11/05/2025: Super pub with regular trad sessions

17/05/2025: Great experience! This hotel is one of a kind, a beautiful Castle with unique rooms. The two brothers who run the hotel treat you like family. The bar has music, food, and drinks. The restaurant was phenomenal with professional staff. The place has a lively and welcoming feel. During a trip where we traveled to many spots in Ireland, this hotel was a complete gem in the middle of an amazing trip. This place made you feel so welcome. In a world where service and hospitality are no longer the norm, this Staff proves there are still places that value that. I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this hotel, thier staff, and the town.

14/05/2025: Exceptional environment, cosmopolitan but friendly and efficient staff. The place is pseudo-medieval (it actually dates from the 19th century), a bit kitsch in terms of decor. Overall, a very friendly welcome, everything started well. The website is a bit misleading, because the "five courses dinner" (5-course meal) includes, in addition to the classic starter-main course-dessert, only a trou normand (a small scoop of sorbet) and coffee or tea. The treatment center (spa, massage) that we assume is integrated is actually a separate establishment about a hundred meters from the establishment. The first evening, after dinner, no more cold water in the family's 3 rooms (so no toilet and no shower). This will be restored the next morning, around 9:00, but neither that day nor the next day, the day of our departure, will we receive an explanation or an apology from the management. For an establishment of this standing, this is more than regrettable. I therefore cannot recommend it.

10/05/2025: Overall can't criticise the place. There were few small things that coul pick on in each of the dishes but overall everything was on point. Feel like 4 would be a little to low so 5 stars given. Also they supply their own oysters which were very nice

09/05/2025: Clifden’s gastronomic address! On the main street, chic decor and very professional service in addition to being pleasant, it doesn't take much to offer you a well-balanced menu of land and sea. Let yourself be tempted by the choice of fish or shellfish products and if, like me, you go for the Irish meat steak, tell me about the whiskey sauce... which is crazy! Especially to accompany the homemade fries. And the wines? A beautiful, very varied menu with a special mention for the wine from 3 New Zealand sheep Well done for everything,

03/05/2025: Excellent, the coconut chili mussels dish is killer... The mussels are local and super well cooked. The staff is very pleasant and welcoming although the restaurant is crowded.

01/05/2025: Been coming to Clifden for 30 years and first time in Guy's. Absolutely fantastic. Chowder excellent. Great music. Guinness Perfect. Staff friendly and professional. Looking forward to coming here for the next 30 years!

20/05/2025: Wow, this was stunning. Parked across the street. Superb outdoor seating in the sun. Chowder and the open face Atlantic fish sandwich was a spectacular choice

18/05/2025: Cozy, homely, affordable prices

21/04/2025: We loved this cafe. The staff were very welcoming, the food was freshly prepared and tasty. Highly recommend the sausage rolls and the club sandwich!!

13/04/2025: Lovely Area, Food was well seasoned and the deserts were perfectly sized

21/05/2025: Great hotel in Clifden! This should def be categorized as a 4 star. Great accommodations, good restaurant and bar, great location and the service was definitely 5 star! The staff were so accommodating and kind and helped us store our bikes and navigate details on our cycle trip. Special shoutout to Fiona and Shauna and the numerous porters who were fantastic and kind. Would always recommend!

20/05/2025: In the heart of Clifden, nice place to keep fit, “oldly worldly” station house bar with outdoor seating, restaurant & recently renovated hotel near art galleries, designer shopping area & horse riding.

28/04/2025: Best place for oysters & mussels

23/04/2025: We had soup of the day, fish and chips, hot goat cheese salad, seafood chowder. Everything was very good and homemade. As it was raining a lot, the restaurant was full but we were served quickly and efficiently by a very nice waitress. Bravo to her.

15/05/2025: We stumbled in by chance. We wanted something to eat, and the bar was right in front of us, so we went in. There weren't many customers in the restaurant, but it still took a while before we were assigned a table in the corner, which was too small for six people. Then, for a long time, no one came to take our order – a no-go! The service was rather mediocre 😏 The value for money wasn't really good either 😏. The prices were relatively high, the portions relatively small, and the taste was rather so-so. In short, we wouldn't go there again.

08/05/2025: Ravi's is THE pub where you have to dine to have the atmosphere as a bonus. Live music every evening guaranteed. On the other hand, like everywhere in Connemara, plan to dine around 6:30 p.m. to have a good table.

01/03/2025: Superb fish and chips. My sister ordered the special of beef roast and potatoes. Very hard to cut with knife given and gristly.

06/05/2025: After having had a delicious time, both on the plate and in this charming restaurant... We decided to return for a second evening, just as delicious. The lamb is succulent, the products are fresh, as for the Irish coffee... And the service is impeccable!! Thanks to the entire team in the dining room and in the kitchen
