If you are staying in Connemara you should definitely stop by for a bowl of the gorgeous sea food chowder at Olivers Bar! My parents always stop here if my mum can think of an excuse to drive through Cleggan. On cold or windy days I can't think of a more perfect lunch.
Last time I came my dad and I shared a chowder, and then ate an open crab sandwich (each) as well. They were both looovely. I actually love the brown crab meat, but in Ireland they only serve the white meat. It is still a delicious sandwich...but I'd love it even more if they could ramp up the flavour with the whole crab!
Anyway, come and eat here, and make sure you order sea food! read more
