Granted, we went early so the restaurant was empty, but that was okay. The owner, Alex, was charming and attentive. We started with the Caprese Salad and Duck Spring Roll appetizers. Excellent! So good. My daughter and son in law had pizzas, and hubby and I decided on the Lamb Shanks. OMG, fall off the bone! And the mash potatoes were sublime. The wine was lovely and reasonably priced. I had a Tempranillo and hubby had a Shiraz. Onto the desserts! The Tiramisu was like silk and the Chocolate Cake with Grenache was decadent. We asked for it to be warmed with a side of vanilla ice cream! Alex was so accommodating. He was delightful. If we could stay in Doolin longer, we would go back. This charming little Bistro most definitely can give Dublin or any major city a run for its money. We hope we can come back !

As you're seated they bring you a complimentary bread basket with a variety of breads. There was one that I think was a pesto bread and it was delicious! All the food was good but the stand out for me was the Galway bay muscles. I don't know what they put in that cider cream reduction but I had to ask for extra bread to scrape that bowl clean! It's because of these muscles that I ordered muscles from every other restaurant I went to on my trip but none of them can compare. If you're in the area definitely check them out!

We were seated at a lovely table alongside a window so were able to watch the street activities with the off and on rain of early June. The broad menu tempted us to share starting with the delicious crab claw appetizer-about 6-8 small crab claws served in a buttery garlic sauce that you pick up and eat. Next we enjoyed the savory Caesar salad absolutely loaded with crispy bacon on a bed of butter lettuce. We split a 8 oz. Beef filet for our main and chose the rich whiskey peppercorn sauce as the topping. The meal came with fries/chips and there was fresh bread throughout the meal. There's a nice wine list and drinks menu. The frozen "parfait" with chocolate and baileys (more like a slice of ice cream) was a fitting end to the meal. We parked at the city lot at the market which has only a few minutes walk away. Recommended

A mile or so (technically a couple of kilometers) from the Cliffs of Moher is the Stonecutters…read moreKitchen. 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!!
