The best restaurantsof irish in Adare

29/03/2024: Beautiful Pub. Gluten-free menu, gluten-free beer, fast, quality raw materials. We had the delicious fish soup. Very good traditional soup and generous portion I recommend trying.

21/03/2024: Great food, service excellent, friendly atmosphere, worth a call

31/03/2024: Easily one of the best meals I've ever had. The awards adorn this lovely little cottage and they are well deserved. The service was impeccable and attentive. The atmosphere is quaint and the cottage vibes help bring in the feeling of home hearth. We started our drinks with whiskey and a Gewurztraminer for Grandma. The water was W.B. Years water and it was delicious. We ordered 4 appetizers from there, the Scotch Egg, the Crab Tart, the Fried Dooncastle Oysters, and the French Onion Soup. We also ordered the fresh made bread with farmhouse butter. It was my first time ever trying a scotch egg and it was soooo delicious with the homemade beer mustard. It wasn't overpowering and paired with the apple puree and creamy yolk of the egg, everything was nice and smooth. The oysters were fantastic as well as the French Onion Soup. The gruyere and the bread used in the soup accompanied the creamy texture so well. The highlight of the appetizers was the fresh crab tart. The quality of crab used was remarkable and the presentation was elevated by the flavor of every different dollop of sauce. The crunch of the flaky phyllo-dough like crust with the refreshing brightness of the sweet creme fraiche tied the full dynamic flavor of the crab tart together. We could've ordered three so that we would have had our own. For the main course, we ordered the Duck, the Lamb, and the Sirloin. Grandma was able to substitute the bacon and crispy onion mash for her chips and that was very nice of the Chef. All of our entrees were locally sourced as well as the veggies. Grandma ordered her sirloin Med. Well and she said it was cooked exactly how she liked it. My lamb was delicious and cooked to a nice Med. rare. My favorite part was the texture of the seared and seasoned crust with the soft and juicy center. The quality of lamb was awesome with its flavor not being overpowered by gaminess. I absolutely loved my giant grilled asparagus. It was thick without being too fibrous. My polenta was crisped to perfection and the flavor was perfectly savory. My husband's Duck was the favorite entree. Grandma has never had Duck and loved it. The duck was cooked a perfect Med rare and absolutely melted in our mouth. I've only seen hasselback potatoes on Instagram and I was ecstatic to finally try it. We devoured our entrees and moved onto dessert, which we ordered 4 again. We ordered the Pudding Pot, the Soufflé, the "Faked" Alaska, and the creme brulée. While we waited the 20 mins for the pudding pot and the Soufflé, we ordered an espresso and an Irish Coffee. Both of which came with a delicious chocolate cookie. The desserts came out and blew us away. The server assistant prepared the Soufflé by pouring in the toffee. I went after the lemon curd Alaska with the meringue. We shared the pudding pot and the Soufflé. Grandma loved her creme brulée. Our favorite was probably the Soufflé and my 2nd was the Faked Alaska. I loved the contrast of the warm Soufflé with the cold lemon curd under the meringue. This was a very long-winded review but this was one of the best meals we've had in a very long time. This dinner would be $800-$900 easily in Las Vegas and we walked out under $400 after tip. The cottage is from 1826 as part of the service homes for the Adare Manor. The love and passion of Chef Murphy and his wife Elaine are reflected in the fact that it is a well respected restaurant in town. Our hotel said we were lucky to get reservations there and that they are usually full. Thank you so much, Chef Murphy! Truly a delight.

31/03/2024: Brought the family here for birthday lunch. Service could not have been better. Hotel was busy with a wedding, but this didn't distract the staff in any way. They managed to keep everyone very happy and made granny feel special. Thoroughly recommended.

The welcoming main room and the spacious, clean rooms equipped with a fireplace complete the warm general atmosphere of the hotel.

28/03/2024: We had a lovely stay in Dunraven, service, room and food were superb. We were there for an anniversary lunch and the staff and management could not have done more for my parents in looking after every detail and making the day so special.

03/04/2024: Warm and welcoming pub in the small town of Adare where you can eat typical Irish dishes next to a lit fireplace. Very kind and attentive staff. Advised

29/03/2024: Adare is a lovely town but this place is trading off its location and past glories. Attended a small family event recently here. Rude bar staff, seemed to be head barman who served lager in stout and cider glasses. Beer was flat as a punctured tyre. In this day and age on a relativley quiet evening at 9pm, and at these prices how is that acceptable? It was quiet but service was slow. Finger food platters i didnt touch but very poor clearing up service. Had to clear the tables consistently through the evening ourselves. Avoid. Go to one of the many other fine establishments nearby.

16/12/2023: Great pub, and service and excellent staff, mighty crack

09/12/2023: Absolute must visit every week! Love the hop house lager and the vibe!!

03/04/2024: Very disappointed with lunch. Menu was limited. I had Duck on colcannon. Nothing else served to enhance the meal. Duck was served on bed of colcannon. Colcannon was not hot. Duck lacked flavour. There was a thick heavy sauce served with Duck. Sauce did not enhance the Duck in any way. I was treating family members who were visiting me to lunch so it was very disappointing Desserts and coffee were fine . The young man who served us was very professional .

31/03/2024: Charming restaurant with great food, friendly caring, accommodating staff and dog friendly too. Stopped here on trip from Kerry and my large dog was welcomed and we’d a quiet corner to enjoy a beautiful goats cheese salad and cottage pie. They even brought a water bowl straight away for the pooch who lapped it up!
