While waiting in line at the Frantic Chef, I googled this place and a few more, it was only a 3 minute walk. We ordered fish and chips and the seafood chowder. The chowder and zero flavor, but was packed with fresh fish. The fish and chips were awesome, fresh as usual in Ireland, but very light and flaky, a top 3 for us. They were able to get us in and out, but we had to ask 3 times for water, and it was unseasonably warm. The decor was combo Irish pub/ Nautical.

I sampled 4 other restaurants, and between my explorations and those of my numerous traveling companions on this trip, we'd concur. The focus is on seafood, but they have a variety of other selections, as well. The food is very local and very fresh. My clear favorite was the mussels, the appetizer portion of which is enough for a meal. I'd also recommend the goat cheese and seafood sampler (which was a collection of seafood salads and smoked fish). The lamb and grilled fish are recommended for entrees--though be warned that Ireland overcooks meat in general for the American palate, so discuss how well you want your lamb and beef done with your server. The lamb casserole (sans noodles, hooray) was exquisite as well. A number of the dishes, like the Hake Au Gratin was a little rich for my palate, but popular at our table. A broad selection of desserts and a wine list with enough options of excellent quality round out the meal. (Go for a soft Albarino or crisp Sancerre to complement your seafood). Also, before 6:30pm they have an "early bird" menu, a prix fixe deal. I'm a fan of the food, but I think the service pushed this place a little bit higher for me. Very personal and personable servers, with one owner interacting with customers and the other upstairs in the kitchen. I was fairly stuffed and couldn't finish my entree and they were concerned and made sure I was happy with my meal. Don't worry, I was. All 3 of them in the week I was in Kilkee.

So, we decided to pop into Quinlan's Fish for a quick bite. - Fish and (Real) Chips: the fish was perfectly fried, so tender and juicy, and it wasn't overly fried or greasy like many others in the US. - Seafood Chowder: I thoroughly enjoyed the chowder. It was packed full of cubes of different types of fish, so you definitely get a lot for what you pay. Service was great, and it was the perfect spot for a quick lunch stop.

Bakwell tarte -almond cake with ice cream and creme was wonderful I've been caught between 4, because it didn't totally amaze me but on the other hand for a small town this is very sophisticated cooking.

We saw no one else from our group--as everyone else seemed to stick with what was recommended by the tour guide. I'm so thankful for yelp and that we didn't stick to the plan. i had the shrimp coconut curry dish as well as a thai chicken dish which didn't look as amazing as it tasted.

A wonderfully picturesque bistro with spectacular views of the County Claire countryside along the Wild Atlantic Way. From the 100-year-old cottage that the restaurant is situated to the beautiful patio and deck around it, Stonecutters provides the ideal scenery if you're visiting the area when you want to enjoy some delicious cuisine. We started with a bottle of Sangiovese while I noshed on some homemade brown soda bread, which was divine with Irish butter. The seafood tagliatelle was delicious and creamy that I savored every bite between the mussels and prawns and squid. The banofee dessert was magical between the biscuit on the bottom topped with bananas and drizzled with caramel and topped with ice cream. Enjoying our meal amidst the glorious setting was equally as memorable, if not more. No pictures can do justice to just how breathtaking it is to enjoy a meal in such a beautiful setting. Stonecutters is an ideal choice to enjoy dinner that has endless amounts of scenery to enjoy a wonderful outdoor dining experience.

The bright yellow house, turned restaurant is easy to spot on the way to/from the Cliffs of Moher. You pull in to a small playground and a friendly dog roaming the grounds. This place is unusually kid-friendly, while not being child-centric, particularly given the size. By that, I mean, on entering the public toilet area, there is a nifty baby changing station - WITH supplies. Anyone who's had a child can relate this to a restroom having toilet paper! I found it to have very thoughtful touches like that, the special room & playground equipment - I also heard staff tell a patron that the kids get a toy to keep with their meal. I didn't view the kids menu, tho I heard a parent talking about some options with her child, including fish & every child's favorite fun food "spaghetti"! Adults were not forgotten- there were candles on the table and nicely plated meals and home-style options, with a lovely selection of wine and beet to choose from. The service was friendly and helpful- food was well seasoned and properly cooked: fingerling potatoes were crisp outside and tender inside. I wish we'd skipped attempting the cafe at the cliffs all together & just started here!!

They did seat us at one of their high top tables, which we were very grateful for. Our drinks came out quickly despite a very crowded bar area with many locals chatting away. When the oysters came out, we noticed that they were not cold to the touch. In fact, they were pretty warm, which kind of alarmed us. After trying a few, we decided to just stop eating them because we didn't want to get sick. We happily paid for everything without a complaint, but I will caution those who come by for fresh, raw oysters. Service was great despite a busy afternoon and the not so great oysters, so I can't fault them too much for one appetizer. I'm sure their other dishes are great.

We parked our car across from a field of cows and walked in. There were no tables available really, but they accommodated us in a little counter space against a window which worked out fine!

They use a Brown Crab I believe, which is kind of like a stone crab that we have in Florida, but served hot. DELICIOUS!! Main course was a seafood pasta and grilled Hake. Both amazing. I can't say enough great things about Linnane's! I would come back here in a heart beat. This was some of the freshest seafood I've had in a long time.
