The best lunch I could’ve gotten! I got the toasted special on sourdough bread but I added the dressed salad to it and it was absolutely delicious! I also got a side of soup which was butternut squash and ginger soup. Best combination to dip my sandwich into. I’ll definitely be back! Very reasonably priced, staff are lovely and the atmosphere is perfect during summer! Wish I took photos of the food but it was too good to not eat

Tasty foodAtmosphereFriendly staff
Very friendly service form the lady who served us. Plenty of seafood on the menu given it's Clifden. Don't think it's open too long as I've not stumbled across it. Went for the burger which was delicious, wife had prawn stir fry which she said was great. The lad behind the bar was a bit...blunt...when clearing up the plates which was a bit of a shame as the ladies serving had been so nice.
Absolutely fabulous place to have food! At first, the atmosphere is very unique and comfy. Set in what was once Clifden Railway station, the restaurant kept many memorabilia and the heritage of such a place, with pictures, old train tickets and signs still exhibited. The food. Well, the food was also delicious and served quite quickly. Whether you are a train enjoyer or not, this experience offers a deep dive into Clifden's heritage, I would unmistakably recommend!
