Michelin-recommended country inn in the Burren serving exceptional food in a cozy pub setting. Chef-owner creates memorable dishes using local Clare ingredients in relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
The Wild Honey Inn is a Michelin-recommended country inn in Lisdoonvarna, on the edge of the Burren, where the chef-owner runs an exceptional kitchen from what remains, in character, a cosy village pub. Clare Island salmon and Burren beef reflect the kitchen's commitment to local Co. Clare ingredients, served in a relaxed, unpretentious pub dining room rather than a formal restaurant setting. The combination of serious cooking and a genuinely welcoming pub atmosphere is what distinguishes it from other fine-dining destinations in the region. A modest but well-chosen wine list supports the seasonal menu. Reservations are required, as the inn is popular with visitors touring the Burren and Cliffs of Moher area.
