Mannion’s Reviews

I’ll start by saying the waitress suggested the early bird special. It was 8 o’clock, wasn’t that early but she said they still offered it. At the end of the meal there was some confusion over what the early bird special included as we thought it was one of the listed starters, one of the listed entrees, and any of the menu desserts. So that is what we ordered and we were never questioned by the waitress for clarification even after pointing to the special page. But if you read the menu closely, it’s either a starter and an entrée or an entrée and a dessert. Small print on the top of the menu and they’re all listed on the same page on the menu leads one to thinking there’s actually a special price. The reality is there is no special price. The food was good. The mussels were local and good with a large quantity. The seafood chowder was good, but a little thin. The soup of the day was potato and celery. Initially, I thought restaurant was good and a good value, but after the misunderstanding I was not as impressed.

This used to be a bar that has been converted into a cosy restaurant. We got a very warm welcome and the menu has a wide variety of choices . We tried the gourmet burger and seafood linguini. Both delicious and the portions are large. The warm apple pie and ice cream was also delicious . Our waitress Aoife was so friendly and helpful. The Guinness is also very good. My only regret is that the Halibut special had sold out.

Really enjoyed my meal at Mannion Seafood Bar & Restaurant in Clifden.

The mussels in creamy sauce were absolutely delicious, the Connemara lamb stew was excellent, and the light ice cream dessert was a perfect finish. Great service too — friendly, relaxed and very welcoming.

A lovely place to stop for dinner in Clifden after a few days around Connemara ☘️

People here are genuinely polite and very friendly. Great staff. Delicious foods.

It is conveniently placed in front of the bus stop, so it was easy to eat there while waiting for the bus. We had the penne pasta with cream sauce and mushroom and the steak sandwich. Portion size is generous and food is really good.
