With it\u2019s hundred miles of coastline, it\u2019s no wonder that seafood features strongly on all menus. You won\u2019t find better oysters<\/a>\u00a0or mussels<\/a>\u00a0anywhere else in the world. They grow right on our doorstep in some of Europe\u2019s cleanest waters. Local producers are passionate about their produce and the local restaurants work tirelessly to showcase these on their menus.<\/p>\n

MacDara\u2019s Clifden<\/a><\/h4>\n

Offering a fresh take on pub grub. Serving hearty salads as well seafood, burgers, and decadent desserts. We can highly recommend the Connemara lamb burger, it\u2019s amazing! Daily special deals include a drink, so are a great value option. Has a good range of vegetarian options. Enjoy a pint of the local Bridewell Beer<\/a>\u00a0on tap here.<\/p>\n

Mitchells Clifden<\/a><\/h4>\n

Fine dining on the main square in Clifden. Mitchells has been serving up the finest of local seafood since 1991. The set lunch menu is good value. The fish pie is rich and warming, and the fish finger sandwich is delicious. Book ahead for night time dining, especially during the busy summer months. They get our vote for best chowder in Connemara, and this is a hotly contested category!!<\/p>\n

The Fishermans Pub<\/a>\u00a0at Ballynahinch is one of our favourite places for a quiet pint of Guinness in the whole of Ireland. Nestle into a comfy leather sofa by a crackling wood fire, you feel like you\u2019ve stepped back in time. The menu here is big on the classics, like egg sandwiches with cress, Irish charcuterie boards, homemade terrine and chowder (of course!) Their daily fish specials are your best bet for something more filling.<\/p>\n

Owenmore Restaurant\u00a0<\/a><\/h4>\n

Fine dining at it\u2019s best. Resident chef Gianluca Marongiu showcases the variety of produce Connemara has on offer. It\u2019s not cheap, but for a special occasion or big meal of your holiday, why not push the boat out.<\/p>\n

Oliver\u2019s on the Pier Cleggan<\/a><\/h4>\n

The perfect spot to warm up after a kayaking session with Real Adventures. Cleggan is a busy fishing village. Watch fish being taken straight off the boats from inside this cosy pub. It goes without saying that fish is the order of the day here. Delicious crab claws is our favourite dish, they also serve a great Irish Lamb Stew. Hang around a while and you\u2019re bound to hear some traditional music, you might never leave!<\/p>\n

Keoghs of Ballyconneely\u00a0<\/a><\/h4>\n

This is the meeting spot for our surf lessons and coasteering sessions. Why not grab a bite here before or after your session. Keogh\u2019s is the heart of Ballyconneely. The family run, shop, bar, restaurant and hardware store, is humming during the summer. A large menu has something for everyone. The steak sandwich is our favourite here, tender steak, melted cheese and tasty chips, what\u2019s not to like!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
