Finns Bar & Restaurant

John and Lucy Finn's attractive restaurant is on the river, in a charming little award-winning tidy town a few miles north of Tuam - a welcome sight for hungry travellers between Galway and Sligo.

John cooks an eclectic mix of international and traditional dishes - reasonably priced and served in a relaxed atmosphere. The cooking is sound, it’s good value for money and the small village setting - where everyone seems to know someone at another table - makes a welcome change from busy towns.

On the down side, bookings are not accepted, which is a major disadvantage when diners may travel especially to eat here and then have the inconvenience of a long wait for a table.

Seats 80 (Private room, 14); no reservations; children welcome. D Tue-Sun, 5-9pm. A la carte; house wines from about €16. Service discretionary. Closed 3 days Christmas & Easter. Children welcome. MasterCard, Visa, Laser.

Directions:

16km (10 miles from Tuam), on main N17 to Sligo
