I really liked this place! It's a little difficult to find, but once you do, it's a lovely oasis to sit down in a cute courtyard and have a pause.
They serve great food - we got a salad with trout and a duck wrap. The duck wrap is a must have for those who love duck - I've really never seen it on menus before and the wrap had big, plump pieces of duck in a fantastic Asian-inspired sauce. The one thing that I felt was less optimal were the scones. They are truly adorable - tiny and so cute with some powdered sugar sprinkled on top - but I felt could have been a little bit moist. Thankfully, they were served with a delicious mix of jam, butter, and whipped cream, and the whole flavor combination was delightful.
I could also see this place as a good place to work. There's a whole upstairs that overlooks the old train station. There are some larger tables that are perfect for laptops.
In all, a great place to have a pit stop while driving through Connemara and on the Sky Road. And, in case you're wondering, make sure you get gas HERE in Clifden first before you drive back to Galway - there really are very very very few gas stations on the road back :) read more
