We stopped here for break while doing the Connemara ring and were we blown away by the delicate and freshness of this bakery! Try the rhubarb pie or a jam donut! They will melt in your mouth. It will definitely give you enough energy for tour trip!

We picked up some brown scones from Walsh's a few days ago and they were excellent. Went back yesterday for lunch. I had a toasted BLT and my wife had a ham,cheese and tomato on a grainary roll. They were both perfect. Very friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.

It takes time to reach Clifden whether coming from golf at Ballyconnelly or driving down the Sky road, but when there, it is rewarding to walk slowly round and soak up the quirky atmosphere of this historic town. And Walsh's restaurant is the ideal place to rest and revive before moving on. Extensive menu options are complemented by the most... More

We stopped in Clifton for lunch at Walsh's and really enjoyed everything we had! The food is fresh and made to order. The bakery section is filled with delicious home cooked treats. We loved the brown bread so much we bought a loaf to bring home.

This is the place to come and sit with a large cup of coffee and a delicious cream cake and look out at the magnificent views of Clifden harbour..but you have to be there early to get the right table...it is worth it

This bakery was recommended to us by our B&B hostess and we decided to try it. We weren't as impressed as she was, but it was still a nice place to stop for a bite. The pastries looked delicious, and the bread was fresh and soft, but my fruit tart had a thick skin of gelatin on it that was... More

Called in here for brunch during the week as the display in the bakery at the front looked very inviting. We ordered 2 bagels with cream cheese and crispy bacon and 2 coffees. I have to say without doubt the worst bagels ever.... they were cold and limp, the bacon was very fatty ( poor quality streaky bacon), far from... More
