Puddleducks Café
Conga
11/01/2026: Stopped here for our first real Irish breakfast.

The Moorings
Oranmore
30/06/2025: We ate here on both of our evenings in the beautiful village of Portmagee. Magnificent seafood, I had hake here on one night and John Dory the second - both fantastic.
We all ate well and had a visit from the friendly owner making sure all was well.
As an aside, we also had breakfast here, again it was excellent.
All servers were friendly, helpful and attentive. I could not recommend this restaurant/Balmore highly.
13/06/2025: We spent a week driving around eating at some really great restaurants in Ireland, but this one was one of the absolute best. An amazing surprise, considering the few choices in this town for food. Everything was done with fresh, quality ingredients and with a great attention to detail. Just a great surprise and an amazing lunch. Best brown bread I had in Ireland. The lamb shanks and the stew are highly recommended.

Faherty's
Oughterard
05/03/2026: Popped in for coffee and tea. One of our party is wheelchair bound, and we were helped by staff, and a lovely lady patron entering and exiting. Friendly Staff and Patrons too! Excellent service! Highly recommended.
01/02/2026: We stayed above the pub for one night. Very cosy room, clean reasonably priced. Little kitchen with a fridge and microwave. Milk in the fridge, tea and coffee. Would definitely recommend.

Pier Head
Kinvara
02/01/2026: We are eating in this place several times per year and it always was great. After yesterday’s experience I kinda started to doubt my senses. Tasteless blank seafood chowder and fries that gave me an impression of very abused grease. Guys, what happened to your chef??? Waitress did her best to cheer me up, she was lovely but the front desk guy gave me that look that I immediately felt unwelcome. Smiles costs nothing. I know you can do better than that. A pot of mussels helped a little but I doubt we will be back any time soon. Such a shame.
28/12/2025: We went as a last minute booking of a 6 ,costly for ok average food although large portions , not always necessary. Not sure all was homemade. Staff very friendly. food was served very quickly no time to rest between courses , felt we were being rushed. Overall ok

The Beach, Days Bar and B&B
30/10/2025: We found fantastic food and a cosy room with a sunset view at this place for our one-night visit to Inishbofin during the off season. The ferry arrived a few hours before check-in and they allowed us to drop our bags off early so we could hike around. The bed was extremely comfortable. Adrian couldn’t have been kinder and even connected me with a book that helped me find some details about my ancestry on the island. The bar/restaurant served excellent food and even had a veggie burger for me, which is not something I expect even on the mainland! Don’t hesitate to book here.
10/10/2025: Fantastic location great staff service and food thank you for having us we will be back

The Pins Gastro Bar
Bearna
18/02/2026: If you're coming on weekend, I recommend to book a table in advance. Food is delicious and served quickly, there's a broad variety of wines to choose from. Staff is very nice and helpful. There's an underground car park at the back. Dimmed light and music in the background add on to the atmosphere of this place.
20/01/2026: Dog Friendly in Bar
Pet Suite not available to book online but very easy to book, must contact hotel directly

09/01/2026: The food was delicious and portions were generous. We had the Roast Beef and the Duck and we'll definitely be back!! Also the chairs are really comfy 😃
24/11/2025: Stopped in for breakfast and it was absolutely excellent. The food was fresh, well-presented, and really good quality, easily one of the better breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. The dining area was comfortable and welcoming, and everything came out quickly.
A special shout-out to Radi, who was genuinely exceptional. Her service was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. She made the whole experience stand out.
Highly recommend dropping in here for breakfast and say hi to Radi!

28/12/2025: I was really looking forward to trying the steak tartare at BlackThorn as this dish is for me a true indicator of a restaurant’s quality. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment.
Visually, it was promising: the meat was nicely chopped and well presented with onion and pickles. The problem appeared with the very first bite — the entire dish was completely dominated by horseradish. I couldn’t taste the meat, the onion, or any sense of balance at all. The horseradish overwhelmed everything else.
Additionally, the texture of the meat was watery, giving the impression that it had been quickly defrosted and served immediately without proper preparation. When it comes to steak tartare, this is unfortunately disqualifying.
It’s a real shame, because my expectations were high and the potential of the dish was completely wasted.

Misunderstood Heron
13/09/2025: Unfortunately, it's closed, although Google shows it as open. Apparently, it's completely closed, not just closed for the winter (according to the landlady of PDans Pub).
06/09/2025: Lovely vegan food!! 💚 Beautiful views.
