The best restaurantsof irish in Clare

08/12/2025: It simply does not get any better than this! The fabulous restaurant, accommodation and great service deserves 5 Stars+++

22/11/2025: The Restaurant food and service was spectacular. We are visiting from Australian and this is the best meal we have had in Ireland or the UK since we arrived!

03/01/2026: Had the mussels, the crab cake with smoked fish, the lamb and the panfried hake. The crab cake was the best part of the meal for sure, although the others weren’t bad either.

28/12/2025: I ordered chowder soup – what I got were two pieces of fish and some doughy lumps, more like glue than soup. The waitress took the plate away, but nobody in the kitchen apologized or offered an alternative. I left hungry and disappointed. Seriously, this is not how guests should be treated....

04/02/2026: Delicious fish and chips, service was on the gruff side. No bookings for lunch walk in, advise booking early as this is mega busy! Steaks look amazing and prices have dropped!

31/12/2025: Nice tasty food. Good pint of Guinness

21/09/2025: Very nice and cosy place. I ordered BBQ ribs and chips with glass of Merlot wine. Ribs were amazing: well marinated, soft and sweet. Banoffi desert was not too sweet and good. It was very delicious.

14/09/2025: This was the best food I’ve had in Ireland in many years.The owners were delightful, the atmosphere was relaxed and the menu was creative.

02/01/2026: This food here is michelin star worthy , first time I went I got steak medallions with Jameson pepper sauce on a bed of creamy mash , 5 STARS . Baileys coffee to wash it down , have been back countless times since , their fish specials are always great and always fresh

18/11/2025: Wonderful staff - amazing food!

17/01/2026: Pint of Guinness by the corner of the 🔥

21/09/2025: The food here is top class and plentiful Highly recommended

13/01/2026: Whilst visiting our Irish family over Christmas we decided to check out the very famous Durty Nelly’s which is located next to the formidable Bunratty Castle. In Ireland I have discovered you sit around in pubs and talk about the Guinness served within the establishment! It was a very decent pint here… but then again it serves 1000’s in a month and it’s been open since 1620 😉. As you’d expect the pub is completely authentic and very atmospheric frequented by what looked like fellow tourists whom like us were probably visiting the family over the festive period… The menu is a good size with plenty of Irish influenced dishes and veggie options. We ordered a Cajun chicken salad a burger plus the ‘famous’ chowder. The food arrived quickly, the portions were generous and both my buddies fell silent so you know it’s ’hitting the spot’ ! This pub is set up for large amounts of business, the style of menu and food reflects that in a really good way. We skipped pudding as by now we’d drank our fill of the delicious‘Black Stuff’ ! We were informed by a lovely waitress that the coffee came from a machine so we skipped that also… shame but understandable. The team were young, super friendly and efficient. Off we went into the gorgeous sunshine to discover what horrors lurk within Bunratty! Thanks team

21/01/2026: It was a great experience. As it was January it was very quiet and we got to explore all areas without disruption. Really enjoyed learning and looking at all the exhibitions.

21/01/2026: I'm in Limerick on a business trip and took a few hours to visit Bunratty Castle and its magnificent grounds. Entry costs €12 and includes access to the castle, which is beautifully restored, and its grounds, which feature various houses representing different eras and historical landmarks, such as the post office and the doctor's office. Unfortunately, having visited on a weekday in January, it wasn't very crowded or particularly impressive. I would still recommend visiting, but preferably on a weekend or during the summer months.

10/01/2026: Fast service. Large and varied portions. Cozy dining room. Friendly waitresses. Good prices.

04/01/2026: Truly excellent promenade cafe/restaurant. The chef here is clearly a bit of genius with real passion for great food. This time we had the Dhall again(always amazing) and the chicken schwarma was just from heaven. Staff are friendly and helpful. They are so popular and well deserved !

09/11/2025: A fabulous find for two new expats. Great food, an entertaining and welcoming publican with a great sense of humor, and a warm cozy ambience (thank you for not playing 1980s American music). We’ll be back!!

03/11/2025: We visited Cogan's with a party of 8 and got seated immediately though it was relatively busy at the time. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, good choices and plenty of it. The slight downside was the price of the ciders which was excessive unfortunately but didn't spoil our enjoyment of the fine cuisine.

13/01/2026: I always find the food here great along with the friendly service

10/01/2026: Extremely friendly staff and considering how busy the place was, it is easy that everyone thinks the same.

13/01/2026: Great bar, great food, great music.

08/01/2026: Had the fish and chips, which was typical but pretty good. BUT their Sticky Toffee Pudding was divine! I will be back for this alone.

26/12/2025: Like many, I stopped in here for food following the Moylussa hike. The food was absolutely delicious. Try the lamb. The gravy was amazing. Great spot for food or drink. Highly recommended.

09/12/2025: Such an amazing place to have your lunch. Food was delicious and the interior was lovely with all the Christmas decorations. Service was speedy and very friendly staff. Waitress asked if everything was good a couple of times and made sure we were all happy with our food. She even offered to take a photograph of us, as we tried to make selfies in this stunning restaurant.

26/10/2025: It was good but some food items were left out from a plate. We did the "test menu" option and some items present in the plate for one person were not included for the other person. The devil is in the detail and it was missed. Waiting staff were gentle and kind. Appreciate it. A couple of favorites in photos.

30/09/2025: Incredible food and incredible service.

16/09/2025: Outstanding service and one of the best breakfasts ever served by lovely staff. Fantastic.

09/09/2025: Couldn’t ask for a better stay, better host or better location!! Marian is amazing, helpful and kind! We will be back! Highly recommended!!!!
