The best restaurantsof irish in Clare

02/09/2025: Excellent service, beautiful food and a varied menu all combine to make this a great experience.

29/08/2025: Particularly friendly staff and very yummy soups. Surely recommended. Also if you are into tea, make sure to get the safran tea, amazing!

07/09/2025: We were there for coffee and food, the place is beautiful and the food and customer service was grand

06/09/2025: Great experience. The personal attention from the staff was excellent.

14/09/2025: Exceptional pub. When we arrived, it was packed and we had to wait a quarter of an hour. They offered to share a table with another American couple, providing a chance to socialize. The food was excellent; try the stew, it's worth it. They serve food until 9:30 PM, after which they give way to music. I think there are different performers every night. In our case, we listened to a famous Irish bagpipe player along with two other musicians, and needless to say, they were brilliant. You can really feel the Irish spirit of joy and conviviality.

12/09/2025: Fantastic food with extremely friendly service.

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

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

24/08/2025: We came across this last night in Doolin on 23/08/25 We ordered 5 pizzas, which weren't great at all.. They used cheap bases, and all 5 people thought they weren't great. That was a mixture of children and adults. I had ordered the Riverside chicken.. Which was the last to come out by about 10 minutes +++ The dinner was presented well, but when I cut into it.. the chicken was raw.. I called the waitress over, and she said I'll bring it to the kitchen, and they'll sort it out. I said no thanks 😒 I don't want it now. I spoke to the manager.. Who said they were trying to get all the food out together, and they were doing their best. But I said the chicken was completely raw in the middle, and I could I have gotten very sick . Not once did the manager or waitress apologise. They said I was very aggressive.. which is not through . I never complain 😌 but I obviously had to on this occasion. I would not recommend this restaurant ever..in fact ..I'm surprised it's still opened .please don't eat here.

24/08/2025: Recommended by the owner of our B&B for its delicious, well-sourced oysters. We ate well, and the staff was super friendly. The oysters and mussels were delicious.

30/08/2025: We stopped in for lunch after walking through the Abby ruins across the street. Excellent food and service.

29/08/2025: They fit us in on short notice, no notice actually. Usually its by booking. So book in advance so they can accommodate you. The food was immaculate and so tasty and fresh. There was something for everyone and the service was top notch so quick hardly any wait time at all. Highly Highly recommend

18/08/2025: Fellow Americans, beware. They may take advantage of you with the currency conversion. I always charge things in euros, and not dollars when offered a choice, but our server did not offer a choice. We just ended up with the ticket in the photo that converted the currency and charged us extra for it. Our service was friendly, although slow on a busy Friday night. The chowder was the best we had all week and the stew was pretty good too. Just pay cash if you go.

17/08/2025: Great atmosphere and homemade cuisine

09/09/2025: The lasagne tastes like it has come straight from the freezer in any grocery store. Probably hasn't ever heard of home made. The soup of the day was bland and boring. The sticky toffee is alright but could be loss better with quality ice cream, whipped cream and some better ingredients.

06/09/2025: Excellent food, generous portions

17/08/2025: Excellent local pub; we had a lovely meal with a menu that wasn't at all touristy. The atmosphere was fantastic, colorful, and full of interesting details.

16/08/2025: Good food, great location. If you are around come here

16/08/2025: Beautiful atmosphere, truly excellent food, and friendly, welcoming staff. The live music session was fantastic!

14/08/2025: Very good dishes made with good local products, very friendly welcome. Good beers. The portions could be more generous (fish dishes). Make a reservation to get a table.

05/09/2025: Superb location,food and atmosphere.

03/09/2025: Beautiful spot to stay in with a great restaurant & bar.

15/08/2025: Paid €89 for what was basically chipper food you could get next door. Burgers came with “crispy bacon” that was just rasher fat, salad full of onion cores and wilted leaves, frozen chips, and €12 chicken satay that was just a fillet cut into five pieces with some sauce. The pasta was watery and bleak, bulked out with carrot tops, while flies crawled up the windows. Staff even nipped to Centra mid-service to buy cranberry sauce. Please avoid. I never ever write reviews but i owe it to you to write this one 😂 far better options in town

10/08/2025: We had a delicious meal here during our stopover in Lahinch. The staff is very friendly and service-oriented, and the food is fresh and delicious. The fish and chips are highly recommended.

21/08/2025: Went for sunday lunch here, absolutely lovely place very busy when we arrived so service was a little slow, but over all the food was very good! the sunday roast was excellent, and staff were very courteous, there is a Lovely beer garden as well! Very nice experience.

17/08/2025: As an American who’d never had a proper Irish Breakfast before, I am stunned by how good this was.

07/09/2025: Really good breakfadt for all tastes - from full Irish to vegetarian and incredibly friendly staff. The palce to be.

22/08/2025: I just say, people dont think come in Joes and enjoy. This is for family, and dog frendly. We are really enjoy, I fell like home! Thank you for very very frendly staff!

07/09/2025: We were staying next door and this restaurant was recommended to us. The decor is lovely. The staff are very friendly. They do need to be a little more attentive as on a few occasions we had to ask again for something as they had forgotten it. All in all a great meal

05/09/2025: I'm just talking about the restaurant. An experience worth trying. Fantastic oysters. Beautiful, characteristic atmosphere. Abundant dishes.
