This time I brought the terrors 6.5 and 2.5 they just adored Dodi's pancakes. Quote from Miss 6.5 "best pancakes ever"....long pause..."eh besides your mom". They were to die for so I've told her it's okay the pancakes deserve her review (and she's picky!). Dodi put all the extras on the side for the kids so they could taste and pick and choose.the breakfast bagel was so good with local bacon that you just cant get in NZ and the staff are always fabulous. Can never recommend enough, if in Lahinch it's definitely worth a stop.

Ate a lovely meal there recently with my wife. I had the sea bass with sandfire and potatoes and she the seafood platter. Both excellent. as was the vanilla ice cream after and a lovely bottlel of white sauvignon blanc wine. Reasonably priced and very friendly staff. There was also an excellent acoustic/Spanish guitar player playing there that evening. Would definitely recommend.

There's a limited menu, so the mussels & the bacon and cabbage special were gone when we arrived. The food was really good - we ordered lamb stew, beef and guinness, caesar salad, spaghetti bolognese, all mopped up & enjoyed. Nice, friendly & efficient staff. The prices are very reasonable especially in view of the good cooking... highly recommended.
6. Sheedy's Country House Hotel Restaurant

Sheedy's is a lovely hotel and the restaurant is impeccable, and impeccably run. We could hardly have been treated with more warmth and attention from the wait staff. My issue with it is simply that it needs to haul itself into the 21st century with a bit more enthusiasm by embracing more than one vegetarian main to allow choice. To have one main - a somewhat indifferently cooked squash ragout - is frustrating. I also ordered a green salad that had a straight-out-of-the-bag look and taste. I'm sure that all this is down to a lack of local demand. But with so many eating less meat or turning to veganism/vegetarianism, and with numerous chefs worldwide showing how it can be done, one hopes that change is on the way.

Where to begin? Lunch at Kilshanny House was an overall wonderful experience. The place is gorgeous - the perfect blend of classic pub and someone’s living/dining room. It felt cozy and homey. I wanted to move in there. They offer the standard Guinness and Smithwicks along with local craft ales. For lunch, they had two options ready: cottage pie (like shepherds pie but with beef) and a seafood chowder. The bread is homemade and fresh. The cottage pie blew me away - earthy without being heavy and I could tell the herbs used were fresh fresh fresh. Mary, the chef, recommended that we save the bread to mop up the pie and I’m glad I took that advice. We decided we had to try the dessert and ordered an apple blackberry crumble and the Guinness cake. Blackberries are in season, and you could tell. The crumble was just sweet enough and the custard topping was delicious. The cakes was wonderful too - somehow light and rich at the same time. It came with fresh whipped cream. Mary came out and chatted with us for a while and she’s lovely. I wanted her to be my friend! I really hope I can come back here someday and visit Kilshanny House again. Until then, I’ll just wish I was there. Thanks so much for your comprehensive and complimentary review and photos which we very much appreciate.It was indeed our privilege and pleasure having you and your family in Kilshanny House and glad that it was such a good experience for you.We would be more than delighted to see you all again if and when you get to come again, let me know and I will have the kettle down and some home baked seasonal treats for you.Slán gó fóil,
