The best restaurantsof irish in Clare

22/07/2025: The tender lamb shank, the sweet, juicy ribs with meat that just slides off the bone, the oysters, and the roasted goat cheese are definitely recommended! The service was pleasant.

15/07/2025: Highly recommend the lamb shank!

03/08/2025: Excellent food, well crafted menu. Great service and good kid options. Highly recommended.

30/07/2025: Amazing place. Decent portions, food is expertly prepared, owner is very accommodating and a great host

07/08/2025: I have just visited to see. Security was kind enough to allow my family to see around even we don't have a room booked. It has awesome surroundings and beautiful views. A picture perfect place. Later out of curiousity when checked the price Iit's in high range. So I admit it's beyond my affordability. Hopefully we will make it there one day.

02/08/2025: Gorgeous hotel. Staff are so relaxed and personable. Really relaxed place. The grounds are stunning. And the castle is very castley.

15/07/2025: Great good and service here, stopped along the way after touring Cliffs of Moher and was not disappointed. The chowder, nachos, and Irish stew were hearty and delicious. We also ordered some homemade bread to dip the sauces. Lots of parking on the side and on the premise. I recommend this place if you are stopping by Doolin.

15/07/2025: Cute little pub packed listening to local arts one of our highlights of our trip…..top take cash in case WiFi is down and they cannot take car payments

24/07/2025: An exceptional day seeing the cliffs and then a meal on the terrace with steak and fish and chips

24/07/2025: Fabulous food beautiful presentation excellent customer service 👌

14/06/2025: A cozy place, we only had a drink here. Friendly service.

04/06/2025: Discovered this local gem on the way back to Adare from the Cliffs of Moher. Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious, plentiful food. Highly recommend.

10/08/2025: A friendly pub, but there's a noticeable lack of effort to understand foreign customers. The food is delicious as it is.

08/08/2025: Not a great experience. Microwaved food. Tough chicken, lumpy mash potatoes, tasteless sauce, soggy lasagne that tasted clearly defrosted and microwaved. The seats had torn fabric, the decor is old and in need of freshening, dirty toilets with broken toilet seats. So disappointing. The only positive is the nice and friendly staff, they were very pleasant, enthusiastic and helpful.

18/07/2025: Knox's Pub in Ennis is an absolute gem! The service is top notch staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is fantastic, buzzing with energy and that authentic Irish pub charm, complete with exposed stone and wooden beams. The Guinness is poured to perfection, creamy and smooth, easily one of the best pints in town. As a GAA fan, I loved catching the Tyrone game (We lost 😢). Perfect for soaking up the excitement with locals and visitors alike. The traditional Irish music sessions are a highlight, with talented musicians creating a lively vibe that gets everyone tapping their feet. And the food? Delicious! From hearty beef and Guinness stew to fresh seafood chowder, every dish was packed with flavor and made with local ingredients. Whether you're here for a pint, a meal, or the craic, Knox's delivers an unforgettable experience. Can’t wait to return

16/07/2025: The chicken sandwich was absolutely amazing!!! The chicken bacon carbonara was really not good, don’t recommend. The wait staff was very pleasant and Sam was very nice! We had a reservation for 9 and sadly got seated upstairs and couldn’t be moved to see the live music. So if you’d like a spot downstairs I recommend asking when you place your reservation, as it takes a lot longer to get your stuff because they don’t open the upstairs bar (poor wait staff) Half of the cocktails we got were good, other half were not. Taco fries are pretty good!

27/07/2025: Beautiful, cosy Bar and Restaurant. The menu was excellent. Hugh portions. Very reasonably priced. Food was delicious.

18/07/2025: Nice place for food and a drink. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Prices are reasonable.

06/08/2025: An excellent meal with a magnificent sea view! Delicious cuisine, fresh produce, top-notch service, and an exceptional setting overlooking the sea. A truly enjoyable experience, I recommend it without hesitation!

05/08/2025: Wonderful atmospheric restaurant with delicious food. Oysters and mussels were unbeatable. Thank you. I recommend.

10/07/2025: A shout out to Hilary and the staff. The food was excellent and the staff were even better. We had fish and chips, bacon and cabbage (with great Irish mashed potatoes) and vegetable curry. All of us would recommend what we ordered. A lovely place to go with beautiful framed photos and art work. If you like Irish heroes and/or Greyhounds then this is the place for you. A great traditional pub. Thank you, Hilary, for making me feel at home. You are the best and I will come see you again.

06/07/2025: I was expecting something really special here, it had all the charm, and I’d heard some good reviews. We were greeted by friendly staff and shown to our table. It was a bit of a squeeze, despite the restaurant being nearly empty as it was at the beginning of lunch service. They put us at a small table at the back of the restaurant, two of which had been added when they shouldn’t have been as there wasn’t room for them. The menu was quite good and prices reasonable, so we were pleasantly surprised, but when the food came, the chowder was only okay, but the disappointment came with the chips/fries my husband had with his chicken Kiev. They were poor quality, but the oil obviously had to be changed. Overall, I probably set my expectations too high for this place.

04/05/2025: Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. The room was rather old-fashioned but it fit well with the charm of the hotel. The bathroom was very large and everything was clean. The staff was super friendly. From reception to breakfast, everything was very accommodating. The place was also very idyllic, it was a 5 minute walk to Bunratty Castle.

21/04/2025: Lovely spot for a meal, high quality of food, good variety, beef was outstanding

31/07/2025: Visited recently one of many return visits. We had booked weeks earlier, on arrival we received a cold and rude welcome by a tall middle aged gentleman who barely acknowledged us and we stood in the bar ignored and uncertain whether there was a table for us. After we were seated a younger waiter who we recognised from previous visits served us well. Overall the food was good, but after the type of greeting and general bad manners we experienced we will be trying somewhere different on our next visit.

31/07/2025: Hard to choose from a top quality menu and the food is just amazing, particularly the seafood. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and the flavours and quality do not disappoint. A tray for those looking for something a little special

13/07/2025: Hungry, we headed straight from the nearby beach to the first pizzeria we encountered in Lahinch, Joe's Cafe. It turned out to be a perfect choice. The mushroom pizzas we ordered were fantastic. What we didn't eat was packed in boxes. The service was very friendly, and although I didn't speak the language, I managed to communicate with them using Google Translate. I received a painted Atlantic pebble as a souvenir, which I took back to Poland. The only drawback was the cleaning of the place while we were still sitting at the table eating our local delicacy – and the dust is obvious. Thank you very much to the friendly waitresses for everything, and greetings from Częstochowa.

20/06/2025: Thank you very much, sorry I heard the hello too late. Thank you very much, it was really great with you. Great food, finally something different, we ordered the garlic bread, veggie burger and falafel salad without peppers and we were both really full, and it was very tasty and beautifully presented. I love your hummus, I couldn't get enough of it even though there was a lot on the plate. If we weren't on a tour of Ireland, I would probably come by every day. So many cheerful service staff, some of whom are even singing, is a nice change. The atmosphere, I would say, is beach bar and very cozy. Even the music was great and brought back memories for us.

11/07/2025: Great gluten free menu, friendly service lovely atmosphere

04/07/2025: It's fine We had a problem with our meal ( two of the meals ) which I brought to the attention of two wait staff. The first decided to listen and "tell them in the kitchen" but then not come back to us at all! The second said "you are the only ones with an issue today". Completely unacceptable customer service , in a time when eating out has become somewhat of a treat. Don't know if I'd rush back.
