F2 Linnane's Lobster Bar,
Brenda Linnane
New Quay, Burrin, Co Clare.
Tel: 065-78120
Perched on the southern shore of Galway Bay, virtually in the middle of nowhere, Linnane's has been awarded rare reviews by food writers from Ireland and abroad. Located as it is, in a fishing village, it's not surprising that the menu is predominantly seafood based, with lobster as a speciality. The menu, which includes vegetarian options, is accompanied by a small but well chosen wine list. Traditional music sessions Fridays & Sundays
