Tibhurca, Clonbur
06/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What an incredible dining experience at John J. Burke's in Clonbur! The food was absolutely outstanding from start to finish.
We had the burgers, which were cooked to perfection and packed with flavour. My daughter had the fish and chips, and she said it was one of the best she's ever had. We couldn't leave without trying dessert, and we're so glad we did! From the rich chocolate brownie to the freshly made cheesecake, everything was homemade and simply delicious.
Honestly, it's some of the best food we've had since dining in Michelin-starred restaurants in Abu Dhabi. The quality, freshness, and attention to detail were exceptional.
The atmosphere was just as wonderful as the food, with traditional Irish music creating the perfect warm and welcoming setting.
A huge compliment to everyone at John J. Burke's. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Clonbur! Thanks again Steven, Alison Willow from Donegal ❤️

Veldon's Seafarer
Letterfrack
14/04/2026: Nice place, typical fisherman's decor. Classic but tasty and very generous portions. The men's toilets outside smell terrible and give a bad first impression. But don't let that put you off. The Guinness Zero is nice and cold 😉
14/04/2026: The best restaurant of our road trip!!! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but honestly, we highly recommend it!!! The fish was of incredible quality!

Paddy Burkes
Clarinbridge
22/07/2026: At a funeral in local church ⛪️ food was beautiful good portion travelled back to Dublin full stomach 😋
21/07/2026: We stopped here at the weekend on our way home. Plenty of parking at the back. We hadn't reserved a table but the staff found us a table for 6 of us. Very much appreciated as we were all hungry. Ordered steak Sambos and kids got gougons & chips. Everything was delicious, must say was the best Steak Sambos we had in a very long time. Everything cooked perfect.
When came to desert unfortunately wasn't what was advertised. The kids preferred the waffles and Nutella but when came it wasn't Nutella but rather some chocolate sauce out of a bottle seems like, but on the menu it said Nutella & waffles. For the adults the deserts are overpriced to be honest @ €8.50.

Ardagh
06/06/2026: Loved our stay here so much we extended it. So relaxing from the moment we arrived. Staff are all excellent warm, attentive but always understated. You feel very well looked after but you are always given space.
Everything is spotless, decor is beautiful...a lot of thought and care has gone into it. A relaxing inviting lounge area, a big turf fire, eclectic mix of artwork, and interesting ornaments.
A beautiful dining area with views over the sea, and a delicious dinner menu made for the most romantic memorable meal.
Our dog was welcomed and we were never made to feel it was an inconvenience. Similarly the place is not overrun by pets and wouldn't disturb others.
Can't wait to to go back ...thank you to you all
06/06/2026: Thoroughly enjoyed every part of our stay, rooms were fantastic, staff extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, food was 10/10 especially the seafood. Highly recommend and will be staying again. Looking forward to it.

10/08/2026: Very friendly staff, I ate an excellent wild Connemara venison casserole, the meat was more than excellent, shame that the mash was made with margarine instead of butter, such a good dish deserved a buttered mash!
10/08/2026: O M G !! The best fillet steak I have eaten anywhere in the world, cooked to perfection !!
The location is fantastic, the staff are friendly and delightful. We felt so spoilt.

O'Dowd's of Roundstone
Roundstone
02/08/2026: simply everything you could want in a quaint irish pub. perfect
01/08/2026: Seafood chowder was loved by my 5 year old who finished his bowl and tried to lick it clean. Nothing is over salted which I really appreciate. My other son had pizza and though it looked like your typical frozen pizza they must have added extra cheese bc it was so wonderfully cheesy. I had the soup of the day which is the vegetable soup and felt the price and quantity reflected a fair exchange. Most restaurants make the veg soup to salty to give it more flavor so I appreciate being able to taste the blend of vegetables. The cheeses garlic bread was small and would be a pass for us when we come back.

Gallery Cafe
Gort
10/07/2026: Had lunch here, on a weekday,relaxed & very pleasant atmosphere, koftas and Coronation chicken were delicious and fresh produce. Other meals around us looked equally appetising. Save room for cake after, both carrot cake and coffee cake were sumptuous! All in all, a lovely experience. Thank you
28/06/2026: An absolute gem! We were looking for a coffee shop and maybe some breakfast. We found that and more here. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to have a full gluten and dairy free breakfast.
The atmosphere and service were refreshing. It is the right way to start off any morning. The coffee was good and my omelette moist and fluffy.
Take in all the charm of the art work and enjoy the look through to the well.
Parking is on the street. It is a busy area, even on Sunday morning when the other shops are closed.
