As with Francis D's review, I am also a huge fan of the home-made brown bread. Superb.
Now, I'll be honest from the start - I'm usually not impressed with mussels here in Ireland. Originally from the Southern Hemisphere, I'm used to the New Zealand variety that can get over 5inches in length with enough meat to fill even the hungriest seafood fan. However, the portion size at Leenane Hotel are just right. Advice - go early to avail of the Bar Menu. The Mussels are on this menu too but a couple Euro cheaper. €10 for a half kilo portion, and €16 for the 1kg portion. That'll do nicely! Ask for a bit of bread to soak up some of those superb juices.
FYI, my family had the prosciutto-wrapped cod and the seafood chowder. Both were also delicious (however, the chowder can do with a bunch of the mussels thrown in to add variety to the flavour and texture).
