My husband and I ate here recently on a midweek break to Clifden. The reviews seemed ok but I wasn't expecting anything special. I was wrong. Upstairs is the restaurant but the bar downstairs serves bar food, we decided to go for this more casual option. Food and service are fantastic. I had a crab claw salad and my husband... More

As suggested by the hotel, we decided on EJ Kings for dinner. An unassuming bar on the corner of the main square a passerby may not assume the quality if food served inside. Don't hesitate because the meal was amazing! The smoked salmon starter was incredibly tasty, the best I've had in Ireland. The chowder was perfect and the fish... More
