Lunch At Morans At The Weir

You’d have to be a very dippy travel writer to have lunch at a great little restaurant and completely forget to take a single photo of the excellent seafood served. Very dippy. So I guess I am. Or maybe it was because when we detoured to stop at Morans At The Weir in Kilcolgan on our way from Galway to Doolin, one of my children was throwing a champion wobbler and I was utterly distracted.

That glass of wine I’m raising? Imbibed sincerely in order to maintain my sanity. Honestly.

Thankfully at Morans, there’s ample space for cantankerous children to run around and stretch their legs and generally jiggle out all their disagreeableness so that when you get back in the car you wonder if you’ve actually got a new child in your car.

So yes, I forgot to take any photo of the food, but it was excellent. In fact, my brother-in-law, Dan, who was with us, exclaimed that the Fish Chowder he had for lunch might possibly be the best chowder he’d ever tasted. Personally, I was more than happy with my open-faced Salmon sandwich.

I’m including this set of photos for today’s Wanderfood Wednesday because if you’re in the area, Morans is well worth the effort to find. And if you, like us, are blessed with good weather during your visit you can sit outside, enjoy the scenery and, for an extra-special treat, marvel at the artistry in the thatch roofs of the cottages as you enjoy your lunch.

Serving Your Own Guinness

galway-restaurants-pizza-fat-freddys

In case you haven’t guessed it by reading my posts on our trip to Ireland, the Emerald Isle can be a quirky place which you need a sense of humor to enjoy. Today’s example: we were a group of six adults and seven children (three to thirteen) looking for a decent, affordable, family-friendly restaurant in Galway city on a busy Friday night. The pizzeria Fat Freddy’s was recommended and appeared to meet all criteria although tragedy almost struck when the menfolk of the group heard that there was no beer on tap in the restaurant. Our excellent – and incredibly patient – server calmly explained that if so desired, beer could be ordered from The Quays bar next door and brought in i.e. “if you want a pint, go get it yourself”. As you can see above, my husband found this arrangement particularly agreeable :)
