Mitchell's
Clifden
10/07/2025: This restaurant is really top notch. My husband and I had an amazing dining experience with fabulous food. The service was impeccable and my steak was cooked to perfection! I would recommend to anyone visiting Clifden
07/07/2025: So very disappointed in this restaurant.
Was written up as,a fresh seafood restaurant...not so.
We had a lovely crab starter.
We ordered scampi and got frozen breaded prawns from God knows where!!!
We come from co. Down where we enjoy the very freshest of fish....no excuse to serve this up.
Not cheap either.

Off The Square
Clifden
27/06/2025: Goood very good beautiful Tuscan dinner I can tell you excellent steak
18/06/2025: I was here with friends on a weekend and the area we sat in was spacious and near the front.
For starters, I had the soup of the day (creamy veg) and we were given a mix of white and brown sharing bread.
For mains, I had steak with sweet potato chips, onion rings, sauteed onions, mushrooms and pepper sauce. The steak was huge and perfectly cooked. The portion size was huge so I didnt have room for dessert!!
The red wine and coffee were also delicious.
The staff were attentive and everything was reasonably priced.
The staff were obliging when I asked for a candle in my friends dessert for her birthday.
I would come here again and recommend to others.

MC McGraths
Clifden
06/07/2025: Not sure why this place has such high reviews. Server was friendly but after selling me on the lamb burger informed me they were sold out. 2 errors on my wife's order. Burger and wings were mediocre, fries poor. 'Traditional' music had as many American country songs as Irish. Overall disappointing first stop in Clifden.
29/06/2025: Excellent pub. The food was very good, and the welcome was very friendly. Great musical atmosphere. We had a wonderful evening.

The Blooming Gorse Café
Clifden
18/07/2025: Nice place to have a coffee. Gluten free options (cakes, cookies, salads…) Very kind staff.
13/07/2025: Horrible interaction when entering this establishment. We were hoping cafe was dog friendly and we could sit outside with our small dog otherwise we would have ordered a take away. The woman with glasses started shouting at us that we can not come in that was fine but she continued to shout and make us feel very unwelcome, I didn’t even have the chance to ask for take away and glad we didn’t have the chance to give her our custom.

Station House Pub
Clifden
15/07/2025: Overall my stay was nice! When I arrived there was a computer issue that was causing issues for the staff, but they were still prompt, kind and helpful. Because the system was down, I was personally shown to my room (I appreciated the team’s ability to stay calm and organized during the system outage).
The room was nice. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size!
The breakfast served was great. There was a variety of options and the servers were kind and attentive.
I would stay here again!
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!

Ravi's Bar and Restaurant
Clifden
16/07/2025: Loved it. Good place for drink and food.
13/07/2025: Came here on a Sunday night while staying at the Alcock and Brown Hotel. My husband wanted to pop in to listen to some traditional Irish music. We had already eaten dinner and told them we just wanted to sit and listen to music and they were perfectly fine with it. I did, however, ordered their sticky toffee pudding and omg, it was amazing. If came out hot and gooey with a side of vanilla ice cream and topped with berries (and maybe a kumquat?). I devoured it in seconds. My husband got a Guinness and we enjoyed the music.

The willow tree restaurant clifden
Clifden
24/05/2025: Great food and fab service for dinner. They squeezed us in without a booking. Only slight downside was regular loud ‘bing bong’ noise presumably to alert waiting staff to food being ready.
23/05/2025: We ate out three times during our stay in Clifden. It was always perfect. The service was very fast and friendly, and the food was very good and plentiful. I highly recommend it.
