The couple at the next table, who were leaving, mentioned that everything on the menu was excellent and that they were regular customers because they lived nearby. The menu had a variety of dishes including pasta, curry, burgers, and more. I ordered the Red Curry and my wife had the Pad Thai noodles with chicken, both of which were delicious. The service and atmosphere were great. We would definitely visit again without any hesitation.

The burger was tasty, however, the fries were a bit underwhelming. It's important to note that this restaurant does not serve alcohol. read more The burger was tasty, however, the fries were a bit underwhelming. It's important to note that this restaurant does not serve alcohol.

I have sampled virtually every choice on the menu over the past few years and have never left disappointed. As they say in sporting circles, form is temporary, class is permanent . BTW, im not connected with management, staff, in any way other than a relationship built on wonderful dining experiences. My wife and I love the place and will continue to tell anyone with ears about the claddagh restaurant.

We arrived just after opening, yet three dishes on the menu were already unavailable — not a great start. “The best fish chips in Blarney”… Bold claim. I had to see for myself. The verdict? This title could only be accurate under two circumstances: 1. The Claddagh is the only place serving fish in Blarney. 2. The claim is quietly revised to “best fish goujon” — because what arrived was a tiny portion that under the right lighting, could have been mistaken for a length of dental floss. To make matters worse, the peas listed on the menu were missing entirely. I’d normally raise this with staff, but by the time I noticed, the meagre 2–3 bites of fish had already vanished. At least the little that was served seemed fresh and was decently cooked. Meanwhile, the Asian/Chinese options looked suspiciously like they’d wandered in from the Chinese restaurant next door. My girlfriend’s chilli chicken was significantly better than my “fish chips” and actually resembled a meal. In short: don’t come here for the fish. If you do venture in, stick to the Asian dishes. Otherwise, save yourself the disappointment.
