Here at Monks Ballyvaughan, you can savour a rich and creamy seafood chowder with hearty treacle bread. Our delicious local offerings are especially tasty after a drive through the Burren or along The Wild Atlantic Way. Or why not try the delicate combination of wild smoked salmon with a glass of ‘the Black Stuff’ as the sun slowly sets over Ballyvaughan Harbour. These are tastes that define the spirit of Ireland – tastes that have made Monks Ballyvaughan famous as the Galway Bay home of seafood for more than 20 years.
The wild freshness of the Atlantic seaboard is in every forkful of our fish and seafood and of course, there’s no richer larder than the Burren. Situated at the heart of the Burren Food Trail, we are committed to supporting local suppliers of food and produce.
Whether it’s wonderful hand-crafted goats’ cheese, traditionally-cured ham or locally smoked salmon – all our ingredients have been grown or produced with love and integrity. We are led by local producers therefore our menus are seasonal. So be sure to check out what’s new and different when you visit.
Please note Monks Ballyvaughan, Seafood Restaurant & Bar, is closed due to COVID-19 but we are offering a Take Away service.
