Byrne's Ennistymon

Cool ambiance with a beautiful view of the cascade. I had an Argentinian Humita delicious and homemade taste. Variety of food for lunch and good quantity. There were options for kids and also gluten free toasty. You can also find regular pasta, steak and fish. The waitress was lovely and patient. Highly recommended.

Very disappointing. It seems like a lovely cosy place but unfortunately I have to agree with more recent reviews. I ordered a chowder which was tasteless and watery. We also ordered a minute steak which was very small and overcooked. Presentation lovely but no flavour

The place is cozy, with excellent service, good food and ambiance. Saturday night, we were treated to live guitar music. Highly recommended!

Disappointing Experience Despite the Beautiful View! Our visit to this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. While the location offers a stunning view, the service and food quality were far from satisfactory. We ordered a seafood chowder, minute steak, and ham and cheese toast. Unfortunately, our food took an excessive amount of time to arrive, which significantly detracted from our dining experience. When the dishes finally did arrive, they were utterly flavorless and poorly prepared. The seafood chowder lacked any discernible taste of the sea and it was not creamy at all, the minute steak was overcooked and with burned taste, and the ham and cheese toast was bland and unappetizing. It was clear that little attention was paid to seasoning or quality. The amount of flies inside the restaurant was also a downer. Given the long wait and the subpar food, I cannot recommend this restaurant to others. The beautiful view is simply not enough to make up for the poor service and disappointing meals. Save your time and money and choose another dining option.

Really lovely neighbourhood restaurant, beautiful décor, view of cascades and topping service from Maeve. There is a special charm about this place, Conor gives a warm, understated Irish welcome and the food is good and very good value. Thank you for the hospitality.

Food is decent, service was good (although slow), and ambience was nice. We stopped by on our drive from Doolin to Killarney, so it was only a quick visit to the town. We ordered lunch and it took a lot longer than we thought it would to get soups and sandwiches. The menu is also very limited which was tough for our pickier eaters. However, our waitress was very sweet and the vibe of the place is quite cool since it's also a vintage store.

We had an amazing meal yesterday! Quick and great service, delicious food and very friendly staff! We will go back tonight 😊

We had dinner here. The staff was very nice and talkative. The food was great and enjoyed in a nice cozy small town restaurant. Don't forget to check out the waterfall behind the restaurant when you are done!

I really wanted to like this place more as the atmosphere and the service were good, sadly the food left some to be desired. My husband opted for a 2 course meal with the crispy pork belly and Irish steak. He asked for a medium steak which should have had pink in the middle but he ended up with a well done steak that had about 1/3 of it inedible due to fat and grizzle. He also received several overly done/burnt pieces of potato with this steak that he could not eat. I opted for the vegetarian plate but was told the fish I was looking forward to was out so they substituted cod. Mine was okay but very under seasoned. My girls opted for just a plain pasta dish which they liked but it is hard to mess up penne pasta and red sauce. The plating was beautiful but the food didn't live up to the hype. The view was nice as we sat outside but the food was just disappointing for the cost.

The food was absolutely wonderful!!! I ordered a pan seared cod with vegetable a and it was made to perfection. Loved the tiramisu as well. The restaurant is a little gem in a small town not far from Doolin. Thank you Byrne! Love love your restaurant!!!

The lamb was luscious, the potatoes poignant and the gravy great. Real nice ambiance with families, couples and older folks. And a great collection of antiquities for sale...

Establishment with strange decoration since the facade is extremely colorful, the entrance is quite chic, with some stools and a nice bar, then the intermediate room, absolutely not lit, and the third room which gives on a beautiful terrace with a view on the famous waterfalls of Ennistymon. But this room has filthy chairs and plastic tablecloths that compete with them. The menu of the restaurant is also rather odd since there is a traditional Persian entry, the Ghormeh sabzi. I could not resist the discovery of this offbeat dish in Ireland! Entertaining but slightly too seasoned Greek fenu which gives a bitter tip a little unpleasant. But overall good. The seafood chowder is a kind of seafood soup. Well... here it is, it's nice... Serrano ham mullet is interesting. Too bad it is placed on a beautiful mass of mash potatoes very compact and embellished with two good large half grilled shallots. The plate of the sea is good but deserves better than the banal cocktail sauce. The crab claws are cooked in a very powerful broth. As for the famous waterfalls, we were not lucky because we came after 15 days without rain in the region! Yes, it is possible in Ireland. So they were dry. This gives a rarer image ... Bill of 59.80 euros for 2.

My last and final Fish N Chips in Ireland...a very sad...though I will come back someday! €6 Seafood Chowder...good! Though the bowl was slightly smaller than others €5.50 Irish Coffee...yup! :) €12 Fish N Chips...oh yes please! Side salad is a nice touch! €8 or less: various sandwhiches we didn't try. Byrnes appeared to be the nicest restaurant in Ennistymon: a tiny tourist-free real Irish town you'll probably pass through to the Cliffs of Moher. Real locals were dining and gossiping in their rich Irish accents. We got a window table with a lovely view of the river falls, warm interior, and the handsomest young waiter in all of Ireland...I should've taken a sneaky papparazzi photo of him.

Great place to go for Irish food. Enjoyed the location and view of the falls. Took the entire family out for dinner

Stopped here on our way home from Doolin- everything was amazing and the service great. I had French onion soup an the Seafood special. My husband had the pepper steak and a mushroom risotto appetizer.

Magical dinner. Food fabulous. Waterfall on our right & classical guitar on our left. Service just right. Couldn't have been better

Stopped at this place for dinner before going over to Daly's Pub. Portion was slightly smaller than any other restaurants that I stopped by during my drive around west of Ireland. Good service and food was good as well. I think prices were slighty higher than other places I'd been in west coast of Ireland. View and sound of the river in the outdoor seating area at the back were fantastic.

I was super happy with our stop here! The man who served us had a great sense of humor and was very nice to us all around. We only had coffee and a dessert (and some complimentary candy), but I definitely recommend stopping by this place. I loved the quaint corner with crates, books, and wine bottles!

Clean, comfortable and friendly. Great views of the river. Amazing 'pulled beef' burger that made my day. My portions were plenty for me and the staff was great.

As other reviews posted, smallest portions we've had in Ireland and too expensive for them. While the food was good it wasn't incredible and should have been for the price. My wife's piece of salmon was extremely small and my sirloin steak only average considering the 24 Euro price. The plates included a very small portion of vegetables which were good but no more than a few bites. Hope to find a better option for dinner tonight.

Great food en friendly staff,and a perfect place to sit outside for lunch or dinner with nice weather.

Excellent, highly recommended stop after visiting Cliffs of Moher. Sat outside on the deck above the waterfalls. Friendly staff

Stopped in on a rainy night and had a cozy seat by the fire. Had a delicious hot bowl of soup, moussaka and salad. Food was excellent and staff were good. I'd definitely stop in again.
