Smugglers Creek Inn

It’s hard not to enjoy the Smugglers
I’m not even a seafood fan which is their speciality but all the food is tasty, as a pub it’s spot on and the scenery is astounding

Went here today for a bit of lunch as it was recommended by a few people. We arrived about 12.45pm which was not long after the restaurant opened. By about 1.15pm the place was packed. It’s easy to see why… The view over Rossnowlagh beach is fantastic, we even managed to spot a few dolphins. Back to the food! I decided to go for the fresh local mussels and I was not disappointed, I was surprised by the portion size as it was huge and the white wine sauce was lovely. Also tried the bruschetta but this wasn’t great, bit too greasy and the bread was a tad soggy. For my main I went for an open prawn sandwich on wheaten bread and a bit of salad on the side. Pleasantly stuffed! The staff were friendly and helpful.

This is the place where you forget yourself and time means nothing.
Got to be one of the best restaurants in Ireland, don’t let outside appearances deceive you, it is weather beaten and careworn, small and a little rickety to get into around the winding path…
But you gotta go, every morsel of food here is as fresh as it could possibly be, seafood chowder to die for, and no matter what your menu selection would be it will be fabulous. The view is outstanding, you are on the hill looking right out at the ocean, all you can see is water, peaceful and unhurried this place is a haven.
You have not experienced fish until you eat here.
It is my #1 place to eat
