Inis Meáin Food & Drink Places
The middle Aran Island is unmatched for sightseeing, relaxing in the outdoors, and absorbing the authentic Irish culture still present in this remote setting in Galway Bay. The least developed of the trio, Inis Meáin is quieter, retaining its quaint, traditional charm and scenery, and inhabited by the friendliest small community around!
Despite its far-flung location, Inis Meáin is home to some quality eateries serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is even a busy traditional pub. While you’re here, check out the varied local cuisine on this unassuming little island.

Tigh Congaile
Where else in the world would you find fish on the menu, caught fresh that day by the innkeeper himself and cooked to perfection by the chef, his Guatemalan wife Vilma? Tig Congaile is an absolute must when visiting Inis Meáin. The traditional Irish-style cuisine, with a little Central American flare, is world-class. Dinner may be enjoyed by visitors to the island. Pre-booking is essential! (bbinismeain.com)
Teach Ósta
This pretty little whitewashed building is both a traditional Irish pub and a satisfying casual-style restaurant. It's also the only pub on the island! It serves modern pub grub like chicken and chips, soup and sandwiches, locally sourced fish, and the family favourite, guaranteed to keep the kids happy: cooked-to-order pizza!
An Dún Restaurant
An Dún is both a bed-and-breakfast style accommodation provider and a restaurant serving delicious meals from local ingredients. Recommended by the Bridgestone Guide and complimented by the prestigious Georgina Campbell, An Dún serves seafood, local lamb, fruit tarts and crumbles, and freshly baked bread. Booking is essential!

Inis Meáin Restaurant and Suites
Raising the bar on the island, one chef's plate at a time is Inis Meáin Restaurant and Suites. Part of the Inis Meáin Stays portfolio of rental properties, this outstanding addition to the island is set on a 70-acre Angus Beef farm. Providing luxurious local ingredients, most of which are sourced directly from their own farm, including fresh vegetables, honey, herbs, and meat, this stylish, exclusive restaurant also boasts epic views of the wild Atlantic coast.
Inis Meáin Restaurant and Suites does not serve daily or cater to walk-ins. Book a stay to sample this fresh, modern, upmarket fare. With such luxury in the serene and scenic setting of ancient, stone-walled fields of green, you’ll never want to leave!
