Misunderstood Heron

A Connemara treat to seek out along the Wild Atlantic Way
Open Wed-Fri 11-6, Sat-Sun 12-5.30. Closed Mon-Tue. abbreviations

The wacky name is a hint of the thinking behind Reinaldo Seco and Kim Young's beautifully located food truck overlooking Killary Harbour in Connemara.


While the setting is remote it's hard to miss when you're travelling along the N59, as it's set up in the carpark of the Young family's Killary Adventure Centre, just west of Leenane, with picnic tables and benches around it where hungry travellers can make the most of the stunnning views.


Take a closer look at the rustic food truck and you'll find the food philosophy - Fresh, Local, Never Conventional - stated simply alongside a blackboard menu that promises a host of local treats.


Killary Mussels, produced in the cold clear waters of Killary Harbour, and Connemara lamb from a nearby farm top the bill - think bowls of steaming mussels, and mouthwatering lamb pasties or samosas - along with other simple savoury fare, such as quiche or smoked salmon with homegrown salad and pickles, and moreish homemade cakes with Cloudpicker coffee, roasted in Dublin.


A sustainable business that takes pride in stating that all food is homemade and packaging is compostable, the Misunderstood Heron is indeed a treat to seek out along the Wild Atlantic Way.
