Food is hugely important to us here. Our menu was created with two core values in mind; to use fresh seasonal locally sourced produce and to satisfy each customer with hearty, tasty, home cooked dishes. Even with fresh, modern twists, the menu retains the old favourites such as Fish & Chips and Fish Chowder as well as some exciting Lunch/Evening Specials. However, although Seafood is our speciality, our talented kitchen team can rustle up tasty alternatives such as Connemara Lamb dishes,  Beef  to produce the finest menu in a coastal yet mountainous area. All in all, The Ravi’s Bar & Restaurant is a great meeting point to enjoy some fresh Cocktails, a memorable locally crafted beer with some close friends alongside the beautiful view the Clifden harbour.
