George V Dining Room

The graceful setting, with rich, panelled walls and twinkling Waterford Crystal chandeliers bestows a grand sense of occasion. Our resident pianist plays softly in the background while you relax and enjoy exceptional dishes from the kitchen of acclaimed Chef Philippe Farineau, recently awarded two rosettes by the AA Hospitality Awards, combined with much loved recipes of Beatrice Tollman and complemented by a fine selection of wines from Chief Sommelier, Robert Bowe.

We made an impromptu stop here for dinner while driving through. Loved it! Great, cozy atmosphere. Super nice waitress (who gave us the wifi password). The food was delicious. We had lamb and beef stroganoff. The servings were very large and filling. Unfortunately, we were to full to try any of their delicious looking dessert options. Definitely worth a visit if you're hungry and nearby.

Burke's Clonbur is a Family run Bar & Restaurant in the beautiful village of Clonbur. Our Bar is Old World stepping back in time. The Dining room over looks the beautiful Country side of Joyce Country, Enjoy the sun set from our dining room. The Burke Family are in Mount Gable House since 1922.

This wonderful restaurant offers a variety of food, not only seafood. The lamb was out of this world! Healthy portions, friendly staff, good selection of beer and wine. Prices comparable to the states. When we left, the owner smiled, realizing we were from the states and said, "Keep to the left and mind the sheep!" I had to laugh because driving Co. Galway and Co. Mayo, (particulary in the Connemara region of western Ireland) along very narrow roadways one does indeed have to mind the sheep grazing along the roadsides.

Cullen's at the Cottage

This traditional thatched cottage provides a relaxed dining experience with a casual dress code in which to enjoy international and local dishes inspired by our owner Beatrice Tollman, including our delicious signature dish 'Chicken Peri Peri'. It is slow cooked in our rotisserie oven in the main dining area, so mouth-watering aromas greet you as soon as you enter the restaurant. At the front of the building you will now discover a beautifully manicured garden and extended patio area proving a spectacular area to enjoy lunch and sip a cocktail and enjoy the magnificent views of Ashford Castle in the distance. Open seasonally, it's just a short stroll over the bridge from the castle. Booking in advance is advisable to avoid disappointment.

The Hungry Monk Cafe

Reviewed By tkblazer - Kildare, Ireland

We visited here on Saturday November 4th and were delighted to get a table just inside the door. Usually when I go to a cafe, I can usually pick one item that I'd like. I went up to the counter and each and every cake looked delicious. I just couldn't decide so I opted for two Deserts and talked my wife into having the other one I'd like!
We started with the "Snowball" - it was yummy and I thought I'd ate the best first. That was until I tried the chocolate cake, it was another level. Finally, a rosewater flavoured meringue with berry compote, home made lemon curd - it was incredible! The Meringue was soft in the centre, I licked the plate clean.
Great coffee, great staff, when I was asked if I wanted another desert I had to think long and hard before declining - I'm still sorry I didn't try the apple pie though. Congratulations to the best little cafe in Ireland!

Pyramid Restaurant

Reviewed By swpratt - London, United Kingdom

Our hosts at lakeshore recommended this and flannerys in balinrobe but as this was en route to our Irish music venue in Cong we decided to come here. Very warm welcome to a quiet restaurant that slowly filled up. Food and service was excellent throughout and you could tell by the presentation,flavour and touches that the chef cared about what he was doing. Our french friend Pierre who is also a chef loved this place and praise from him is not easily won. My steak was perfectly cooked and the pavlova and fresh fruit was wonderful.
