Rowan Tree Cafe Bar

County Clare


A one-time ballroom, the dining room here has high ceilings, fairy lights and 18th-century wooden floors, while tables outside have river views. Global-themed dishes are packed with local, seasonal ingredients; treats include St Tola's goat-cheese fritters, west-coast crab linguini, and lamb and feta burgers. A cracking Sunday brunch draws the crowds.

The extensive children's menu features healthy options, with free mini-bowls of mash and soup for the under-twos.
