The best restaurantsof irish in Clare

03/06/2026: Overall, the hotel is nice. However , the location isn’t ideal if you want to be within walking distance of anything fun or cool. It’s on a golf course so it’s very relaxing , but boring. As far as the rooms, super outdated and inconsistent. We booked two rooms, one of them came with water and all the towels you would need. The other room didn’t have any water , and only two towels were provided. If you have to stay here in a pinch it’s okay, but I wouldn’t book here again. Not horrible, just not my favorite.

01/06/2026: We booked a last minute stay directly through the website as it looked on the surface to be excellent value; family of 4 for one night, bank holiday weekend, with breakfast for under €150, and access to the pool, which was our must have for visiting with 2 kids who love a pool. Lobby area is stunning, wide open and beautiful chandelier. We had a bit of a wander around and found that the ballroom area also was beautiful. It does feel more like a golf course with a hotel. We ate dinner in the bar with the kids; service was slow as it was very full with what seemed like both locals and hotel guests (positive sign) but not enough staff, but we got there in the end, and it seemed decently priced as well, which is good because the restaurant part did seem a bit excessively priced, and without the bar menu option, we absolutely would have eaten elsewhere. Breakfast the next morning was also good; not a massive selection, the usual fry up, 3 cereals, toast and pastries, but all good. The coffee was not good though, that needs addressing, as it was clearly granule coffee, and definitely too many granules, more like tar. A couple of things werent perfect with the fry up - fried eggs were all overdone, tomatoes a bit underdone, but overall it was good and filled a hole. The bread selection and sausages and bacon in particular were lovely. The pool in very convenient, all within the hotel itself, with changing rooms, showers, large pool, kids pool area, jacuzzi, all in good/great condition, and id go so far as to say the sauna is in excellent condition. The steam room was definitely struggling with the steam element, but it was ok. Kids had a blast. The room itself - this is why its so cheap. We stayed in room 106. Despite all the positives, the food, the pool, the lobby area, the room is a let down. The rooms are old and tired, and need updating. The carpet is musty, the windows old and a bit moldy, and the beds a bit lumpy. There is no air conditioning in the rooms. The bathroom is very tired; mold between tiles, stains in the tub, leak at the toilet. The biggest issue was two silverfish in the bathroom which to find was a big surprise, pointing to that there are probably a lot more. Must be living under the tub. I know how terrible these are to get rid off, but it has to be prioritised. No doubt they will, and I did immediately let the receptionist know, and she was going to get someone to attend to it immediately, but the kids were asleep so said leave it till tomorrow when we check out. The room wasnt clean. Found things under the desk and around the perimeter. I know its always rush rush rush to turn a hotel room around, but more care needs to be had with the rooms. Pics attached of the dirt/dead bug. So a mixed bag; good food, nice lobby, decent location, and Ive stayed in much worse, but to move it back to that next level, it needs a refurbishment of the rooms as soon as possible. The kids were happy and didnt know any better, and we made some great memories, but my experience is 'its fine' rather than 'definitely stay here'.

06/09/2026: Great Restaurant and bar,prices are very reasonable and staff are friendly.

31/08/2026: The waitress was friendly, and we ate well.

16/09/2026: Wonderful food and outstanding service

17/08/2026: Excellent product quality and service

16/09/2026: We didn't eat here as it was late, but my god are the employees friendly and fun. We had a great night just hanging out, talking, and having a bunch of laughs. GREAT PLACE!

10/09/2026: Good service. Fun atmosphere. Local musicians jam at night. Pizzas looks great but didn't try it. Must visit spot for enjoying Ennis!

29/08/2026: Absolutely brilliant visit for lunch which made us return the next day for breakfast. Value for money outstanding. Food was gorgeous, service was fantastic. I highly recommend.

20/08/2026: Great value and a great variety of options to choose from.

02/08/2026: Worst pasty and not great sausage roll. Pasty was mostly air and had a blended liquid beef (although you could not tel it was beef) and tiny bits of carrot. No taste. Even when I put pepper in it. Tastless. €5.50. I complained to staff. I was told "oh sorry". If you have ever had a real Cornish pasty? Do NOT get a pastie here !! I also had the sausage roll. It was just ok. I would not use this place again. The salad did look good. If I had wanted anything with my pasty like a salad then I would have to pay more. The quiche did look nice. But my pasty looked nice too. My wife does like the sandwiches but stay clear of the tasteless waste of money pasty. Even the pastry seemed chewy.

02/08/2026: Beautiful food, excellent service. Home made salads , so fresh , so tasty. Top quality foods A credit to your staff. Thank you 🙏

05/10/2026: So far the best restaurant/bistro I have found in Ireland

22/08/2026: This place is a cute little spot for lunch, small but enough tables. The chicken pesto sandwich and chicken and bacon Cesar were delicious. The chips were actual chips/crisps and not fries and had a great flavor. The waitress was very sweet. I would definitely make this a stop!

29/08/2026: Was there with two kids and partner yesterday evening Friday 28th August 2026 at 9pm. Ordered food and a man behind the counter and he was absolutely brilliant. Made ordering good craic and was a genuine nice fellow. I regret not getting his name to personally mention him. Highly recommend. First time in Supermacs for a while and he made it memorable, was nice to us and the kids too.

13/07/2026: Ordered through the Supermacs app. We got a call after an hour to say our food had been delivered to the wrong house. Then had to wait an additional 30mins for our order to arrive. Food was stone cold when it arrived. Genuinely disappointing. When you go in the food is always so good but delivery is just terrible. This is not the first time this has happened either. We’ve gotten wrong food before and sometimes missing items too. If you’re going in, grand, if you’re ordering for delivery order on just eat so at least you can get a refund!

10/11/2025: I've stayed here several times and it's always been an absolute pleasure, from the moment you walk in the door. Friendly staff, good food and a fantastic location, so close to the beach.

06/06/2026: We stopped by for a drink, service was great .Great patio for people watching

24/04/2026: Caesar salad was not worth the price. Seafood chowder was good. Cash only when we were there for lunch, their machine was broken - wish they had told us before we sat, never a good surprise.

14/07/2026: Excellent food and service. My son was happy to watch the football match while eating his dinner!

22/06/2026: Wow I really enjoyed the food and “ funnn” there The staff loved my interaction As u know I love the atmosphere of a great food hall Cum over some time and bring friends Let’s party Together as the hotel have lots CV of rooms for party parties guests Ask for the Séamus discount too Enjoy the ride

04/10/2026: Food was lovely. I would recommend to get a better type of chips. Service was good. Atmosphere was quite.

04/10/2026: Had and evening meal here yesterday, from start to finish it was lovely , the 2 members of staff that attended to us were pleasant and friendly girls , the decor was tasteful and cosy , and the food was top notch ! We enjoyed every bite ! Will definitely be back when in Kilkee again . Compliments to the chef and owner !

24/05/2026: Room 29 is not suitable for guests. There was a heavy, stuffy smell in the room. Fortunately, the window could be opened to air it out. Unfortunately: the kitchen ventilation exhaust was located right in front of the window. Besides the smell of frying, it made quite a lot of noise. We asked for another room, but were assured that the kitchen would close at 8:00 PM and wouldn't reopen until 8:00 AM the next morning. Well, in practice, that was 9:45 PM and 6:30 AM (!). But even when the ventilation was off, things weren't right: the small terrace where guests or staff could smoke a cigarette or make a phone call was directly under our window. And unfortunately, this was done regularly at night as well. In short: refuse room 29. The hotel management really needs to do something about this; such an unsuitable room detracts from the entire stay. It is a real shame, because the location is good, the people are nice, and the breakfast is good.

12/05/2026: I would gladly give the food stars. My room was still awaiting renovation, but it was clean and we lacked nothing. A charming hotel, just as you'd expect in Ireland. Super friendly staff.

21/07/2026: I was at the Stella Maris tonight and to say it was disappointing is an understatement. A party of 7 (2 paying adults though) and the food selection was nothing extravagant. Chicken and chips 🍟 (3 adults), lasagne (adult 4) and 3 kids meals. €11 for the roast breast but for an adult the same chicken is €18. Out comes the serving and the chicken is very lonely on the plate. Nothing else initially but then comes "sides" of chips. Not a mains portion in my opinion. You'd pay €6 less per head elsewhere such as Naughtons Yard and equally as good there. To describe it was a rip off is apt as it was nearly €20 (for 4 of the party of 7) more expensive than an alternative which was better for 5 of the party of 7 the night before. Never again will I go there for food. As I stated to the barman (give a customer value and they come back. Exploit them and you lose far more custom long term. He was offended I might just tell him give customers value for money through better portions or reduce the prices.

29/05/2026: Lovely food and only 100 metres from the beach which is absolutely beautiful

11/04/2026: Room were nice and cosy,hot water took some time to come, Rooms have no sound proofing, breakfast was sad and really uneatable, nobody ever answered phone at reception, Reception staff can be over worked, tried / grumpy.

27/03/2026: We had food here.It was very nice.The house Chardonnay was poor and the man who seemed to be in charge was really smarmy so much so I jokingly asked him was he a Kerry man looking for business.But as I said I enjoyed the food….we didnt go back today.Returned to Lahinch a couple of months ago.The food here was top class.Big plates of perfectly cooked food.Exactly what you need after long walks.We will be back soon and will eat here everyday
