The best restaurants in Clifden

24/02/2026: Excellent experience! A warm and welcoming place, a great Irish atmosphere!

12/02/2026: Friendly staff. Great Guinness!

18/03/2026: We had a deluxe room, which was amazing. Our daughters' room was more basic and rather musty. The whole place was very charming. Food was mid, at least dinner. I might eat in town if I had to do it again. The crowd was definitely older, and that's saying something because I'm 60.

17/03/2026: Attended a wedding on 13th of Feb. One of the best venues I've been at for a wedding. Such a beautiful venue, food was delicious, staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were gorgeous with incredible views. I'll be back again for a stay!!

07/01/2026: Great place. I've been going to Clifden since I was a child and never been in before. We had a really great meal.

03/01/2026: It is conveniently placed in front of the bus stop, so it was easy to eat there while waiting for the bus. We had the penne pasta with cream sauce and mushroom and the steak sandwich. Portion size is generous and food is really good.

05/04/2026: Awesome gastro pub! Great food, great atmosphere, awesome service. VERY popular amongst locals. Go early and expect a wait. BUT, the wait is worth it. Fish-n-Chips was incredible and the Irish Stew had a down home comfort that'll make you feel at home! Highly recommended!

05/04/2026: Incredible place on the town square! Very busy, expect a wait to be seated! The wait is well worth it. Once seated, the service was exceptional! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is incredible. This establishment made us feel very welcome and at home! Wife had Beef Bourguignon that was delicious. I had the Fish-n-Chips and it was incredible! Highly recommend this establishment.

31/10/2025: Had dinner here recently, I would be a semi regular at this spot. Not sure if it’s been leased out since the last time I was there, as I didn’t see any of the old familiar faces working on the night I was there. What has changed is the introduction of a 10% service charge, which is extremely disappointing to see, none of my other usual spots in Clifden or its surrounding areas have this, so not sure why it’s been introduced here. I wasn’t aware of this until I was paying the bill, it might be on the menu, I’m not sure, but it definitely didn’t apply last time I visited. Probably going to give it a miss for a while, might pop back when the VAT rate gets reduced, see if the service charge still applies. If it does, I’ll be trying somewhere else up the street!

10/10/2025: Lovely calamari, fish and chips. Friendly service. A bit pricey but it was good.

15/03/2026: Great spot. Hidden treasure of a veranda space also. Food is excellent and the pints are spot on.

20/02/2026: The food is very good, but a slight disappointment with the desserts: not only were the advertised ones unavailable, but they weren't anything special either. Good atmosphere, but definitely noisy as a result.

26/09/2025: After one too many toasties I treated myself to a proper dinner and had the chicken dish. It was so delicious. I couldn’t get enough of the sauce that was with it. Amazing.

26/09/2025: Really really fab restaurant. Staff, food and ambience were all ten out of ten. Came here with a group and Sandra and all her staff looked after us to no end. The food was just perfect. Very much hope to be back. Thank you so much :) <3

07/09/2025: A place to relax and have snacks

04/09/2025: Thanks for the really lovely lentil dahl soup with excellent bread! And of course a great pot of tea.

09/04/2026: The service was calm the atmosphere was relaxing with soft music , just enough to set the scene without being over powering , the food was gorgeous , fresh clean and well worth the trip from London ….. would recommend highly

05/04/2026: A great place, good service and good food. The crème brûlée and Irish coffee were excellent, as was the Sheri's pie, we recommend it.

19/03/2026: Really beautiful old school hotel. All the staff are lovely, from the two ladies who checked me in to the young man who served me breakfast. Had a great night sleep in a very comfortable room and overall a great experience.

06/03/2026: Perfect location town centre lovely hotel family run, beautiful bedroom clean quiet. Music in the bar nightly families welcome Restaurant very big good food served staff friendly You will see the owner collect glasses and a warm welcome

06/04/2026: We ordered drinks at the same time as being handed the menu. The drinks came out fairly quickly but the waitress slammed the drinks in front of us and asked for our food orders, I had to ask 3 times for a minute to decide. She insisted and took the food orders from some of the rest of the table. I had to chase the staff to be able to order after and the food came out at different times as a result. Food was only ok for the price.

03/04/2026: The burger was delicious. Good atmosphere and the waitress was attentive.

09/08/2025: Best BLT in the west of Ireland possibly?

03/08/2025: Very comfortable relaxed atmosphere. Quality staff. Wholesome home made food. Would highly recommend this restaurant/coffee shop

08/03/2026: Foyles Hotel and The Marconi restaurant were perfect. The ambience, the staff, the surroundings were all one could ask for in ensuring a most relaxing and homely break. Would definitely recommend and will be back. A sincere thank you to all of you .

15/12/2025: Went out for dinner with family. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered.

29/11/2025: Execellent service, We’ve been here twice now and will return in the future. The staff are extremely down to earth, friendly and accommodating. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere with live music being a regular.

18/10/2025: Simply fantastic. Amazing atmosphere. The live music alone makes this wonderful bar a must.

09/03/2026: Fabulous stay at Foyles. Wonderful friendly staff. Food was amazing and a very nice wine list. Rooms are a little bit old fashioned but with loads of space they are comfortable, spotless and full of character.Mullarkeys Bar was great fun after dinner with excellent live music both night of our stay . Location is right in the middle of town.

08/03/2026: Everything we wished for. Perfect
