Abbey Tavern Bar & Bistro — Restaurant in County Clare

Firstly the menu selection was vast and reasonably priced, the staff there were really pleasant and very attentive. I had the pork belly and garlic prawns to start and unfortunately the pork belly was wayyy over done and could hardly chew through what was meant to be the crackling I presume, prawns were...uuummmm. The main course certainly made up for it, I again chose the pork option and it was the pork medallions with a mango and honey ? Purée on a bed of mash with fresh vegetables.

We managed to venture around the site and look at the graveyards and we also went to have a bite to eat at the bar and bistro which was lovely by all means, we order some soup, coffee, and onion rings which was super nice and friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Edit: second time to come here, really lovely food, location and great service, and very affordable price for BLT, soup, onion...
