The Creamery - Bunratty

We were there about a week ago as part of a 10 night trip to Ireland from the US. This place was one of our favorites! The food and service were both excellent. Emma was friendly and helpful with drink and food recommendations and even calling us a taxi to get back to the hotel. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

To be honest, it was the name that first caught our attention as we were looking for a place for dessert and a drink since we had had a late lunch. We found that it was the “creamery” not because it sold ice cream (though it has good ice cream) but because it WAS and old creamery (among other things). They have seating inside and out but as it was a bit dreary, we chose for inside. All the staff we encountered were charming and welcoming from the hostess to the several waitresses we interacted with. Drinks were not a problem as they had a wide selection including the latest special flavor of cider from Orchard Thieves on tap which I had been wanting to try (if you like hard cider, both the regular and Blood Orange are well worth trying). Our only problem came in ordering dessert there were far too many choices on the regular menu that sounded delicious and on top of that they had a special of Lemon Meringue Pie (with cream and ice cream) which is one of my all time favorites. Between the four of us we had the afore mentioned pie, the “warm sticky toffee pudding”, the “homemade bread butter pudding”, and the “warm apple crumble. As good as the descriptions sounded, the presentation was even better with generous portions (though would not have minded a bit larger scoop of ice cream but only because it was really good). Of course I have been to lots of bakeries where the treats LOOK great in the case, but the reality of taste disappoints that was NOT the case here. We all shared and each one was truly delicious.

The Creamery is a great Irish experience. Loads of local families were dining, great atmosphere and history and really good food! Staff treated us warmly and our food came as we requested. Definitely recommended

We had a wonderful night in the creamery on New Year's Eve. Great staff and great atmosphere. Friendly crowd. Would highly recommend The Creamery. We started off with a fabulous meal I am a Coeliac so great to hit a restaurant that caters well for me. Our meal was followed brilliant music by Shane Marno a very talented singer songwriter. I think he performs there regularly. Thanks for a great night.

Great choice of food atmosphere top class and staff so nice.
