At CLIFF, dining is not just about great food — it’s about celebrating Ireland’s rich culinary heritage, supporting local producers, and embracing sustainability at every turn. Our three fine dining restaurants, each with its own unique character, offer a truly unforgettable experience rooted in the best of Irish culture and ingredients.

  • House Restaurant, Cliff House Hotel

    Perched atop the rugged Ardmore Cliffs, House Restaurant is a celebrated oceanfront haven known for its exceptional dining and unparalleled service. Led by Chef Josef Zammit, this MICHELIN-starred gem has been a beacon of culinary excellence since 2010, earning recognition year after year for its innovative approach to fine dining.

    Chef Zammit’s tasting menus seamlessly blend the best of local Irish produce with global flavours, creating an unforgettable gastronomic journey. Every dish is a masterpiece, carefully crafted to highlight the region’s finest ingredients, offering guests an extraordinary experience that is as memorable as the views of the Atlantic that surround the restaurant.

    Whether you’re dining in the light-filled summer months or cosy winter evenings, House Restaurant promises an exceptional experience where every detail is thoughtfully designed to offer both comfort and elegance.

  • The Mill Restaurant, Cliff at Lyons

    The Mill Restaurant is the heart of Cliff at Lyons, where the charm of rustic elegance meets exceptional dining. With soaring double-height ceilings and an open fire that crackles in the background, this warm and inviting space is the perfect setting for any occasion. Whether you’re joining us for a leisurely Sunday Lunch, indulging in a decadent Afternoon Tea, or savouring a comforting Midweek Lunch, our relaxed yet refined atmosphere invites you to unwind and enjoy great food with friends and family.

    For those seeking an al fresco experience, the Mill Garden offers a stunning terrace overlooking the illuminated cascading waterfall, creating a tranquil backdrop for your meal.
