The Wild Atlantic Lodge
Ballyvaughan
11/06/2026: Stayed here for 2 nights and couldnt be happier with picking this place. We were debating between a few options and am so glad we went with this B&B. The town is just large enough to have a bit of anything you are looking for, but small enough that it has quite the charm, is easy to walk to every store, and is quiet in the nights.
The B&B room was fantastic with a very comfy bed and the rooms also came with complementary water bottles. Breakfast was freshly cooked every morning. Shauna was very personable and gave us tips for our adventures including which way to drive to experience other activities and what to do to make the most of our want-to-do list.
The only challenge was the parking lot, which is immediately to the left to the lodge. It's very small with one way in and out, and it's difficult to see incoming traffic when leaving. However despite this all, we didn't run into any problems. Sheena also offered that if we ever came back and didn't see any spots to let her know and she would move her car, as well as offered an alternative nearby option to park our car.
Thrilled with our entire experience here.
11/06/2026: What a great place!!
We spent a couple of days here. Everyone from the start were so friendly, casual, cool, yet efficient and on it! Great food, great service and a great pint of Guinness.
Off street parking at the back, accessed down the left side of the building and room for maybe 9 or 10 cars.
Shauna and team were a delight!
We'll see you guys again!!

Traditional Irish Night-Cornbarn at Bunratty Folk Park

Cornerstone Bar
Lahinch
14/07/2026: We were very lucky to get a table the evening of a concert in Limerick. We stumbled on this place, and it will be forever seared in my memory as the best fish and chips I've ever had in my life. I have had a lot of fried fish in the United States, and some of it has been pretty darn good, but this was outstanding! Flaky fish and the batter was perfectly crisp and seasoned with something very, very pleasing! The dessert... oh my wow! if I recall I think it was apple pie or apple crisp... fresh whipped cream!
13/07/2026: Biggest cod goujons ever
Pity I wasn't hungrier

The Riverside Bistro
24/05/2026: Excellent restaurant in Doolin. Love various pub restaurants in Ireland, but this spot was a welcome reprieve from normal pub fare. Enjoyed caprese salad, seafood pasta, and abundant wine choices - all were tastefully prepared and presented. Highly recommend!
21/05/2026: The food was absolutely delicious, the lamb leg was very tender, and my partner's ribs were also very tasty.

Oar Restaurant
02/05/2026: Fabulous Michelin star restaurant, personnel is amazing food is fantastic and the place, being so tiny makes it very cozy, winter or summer the view is amazing!
02/05/2026: Tucked into the wild poetry of Ireland’s west coast, this Michelin-starred gem in Doolin delivered a dining experience that felt less like a meal and more like a beautifully choreographed love story.
From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere hummed with quiet elegance, the kind that doesn’t need to announce itself. Then came the venison, and truly, it deserves its own standing ovation. Presented with theatrical grace, it stood poised like a bride beneath a chuppah, a culinary ceremony in full swing. Each bite was rich, tender, and deeply expressive of the land, as though the surrounding hills had whispered their secrets directly into the dish. The asparagus risotto followed, glowing with freshness. It arrived adorned with a delicate bouquet of edible flowers, like spring had decided to dress up for dinner. The flavors were vibrant yet comforting, a perfect balance of earthiness and brightness, each forkful unfolding like a small celebration.
Service throughout the evening was flawless. Not stiff or overly formal, but warm, intuitive, and genuinely joyful. The kind of service that anticipates your needs before you even realize them yourself. And then, just when we thought the evening had reached its peak, it offered us one more unforgettable moment. When we asked about arranging a taxi, the owner himself came over, introduced himself with effortless charm, and insisted on driving us. Not just anywhere, but to catch the Irish sunset melting into the Atlantic beside the Cliffs of Moher. It felt like being handed the final, perfect note of a symphony. Some restaurants serve great food. This one creates memories that linger long after the plates are cleared.

The Creamery
Bunratty
13/05/2026: An unpretentious restaurant, not gourmet as advertised. Convenient when other dining options aren't available in the park, and the service is quick. However, be aware that a dropped fork was replaced on the table due to poor service.
12/05/2026: Great place, tasty, fast, great atmosphere.

Noel's at The Manor
Bunratty
21/06/2026: The food is very good, The service is perfect and masterful and the setting lovely too! Anything the blond and my fussy brats wanted was no trouble and for the first time, my kids talked about the food on our table, (we all sampled each others) rather than burying their heads in their phones as usual!
15/05/2026: I believe that a great meal revolves around the people you are with, the service provided by the staff, and finally the food. In this case all three came together. The salmon starter was hot and well prepared. My rack of lamb was tender with a nice au jus. The service was just right, there when needed and allowing us to enjoy our meal. Not an everyday meal or inexpensive but really well done and if I am back in this area I will do it again.

The Earl of Thomond
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.
