Updates needed on Kenmare and Connemara, IR

[tlackner]

It's been a few years since there were updates on restaurants in Kenmare and in the Recess, Connemara area. My wife and I will be in Kenmare for 2 nights and Recess for 1 in June. Any suggestions? My wife likes fish, I like shellfish, but we have a total of 10 nights along the west coast so a few meals of red meat will be fine.

We'd rather not drive from Kenmare back to Killarney for dinner, since we're staying in Kenmare. My Connemara geography is bad, but I think Clifden wouldn't be too far for dinner (we're actually staying at Ballynahinch Castle).

TIA

Hi! I'm heading to Connemara soon, and wondering what you found on your trip. Any good recommendations? How did you like Ballynahinch?

Thanks!

We're making a trip to Connemara this July and I'm looking for recs as well - have been many times, but not for several years. We will be in Galway, Spiddal, around the Cliffs on Moher and all along the coast road back to the Aran Islands. Any ideas?
