"Bordered on one side by the majestic Twelve Bens mountains and on the other by the Atlantic Ocean, Connemara is one of the most unspoiled of all Ireland’s natural regions. Only an hour and thirty minutes drive from the bustling city of Galway lies Clifden, the ‘capital of Connemara’." and Maureen Heffernan welcome you to the spacious Off The Square Restaurant, probably the finest seafood restaura

nt in Clifden. Connemara is blessed with the best of natural produce: Oysters and Crab from Aughrismore, Scallops and Lobsters from Cleggan village, delicious lamb from the renown Connemara Blackface sheep, succulent fillets and sirloin of Connemara Beef, and much much more. All of this produce goes into
Off The Square’s fabulous meals. No visit to Connemara is complete without a meal at Off The Square, be it our Full Irish Breakfast, Lunch Specials, or indeed a knock-yer-socks-off Dinner. Wine is served by the bottle or glass, as is a variety of beers, and our Desserts are not to be missed! Spacious and welcoming, you can find us on Clifden’s Main Street – just ‘off the Square!’

It is with bittersweet emotions that Off the Square will be closing its doors on Sunday the 13th of September.

Throughout our 27 wonderful years, we have been truly fortunate to have had incredible staff, both past and present, we are grateful for their hard work and dedication over the years. We would like to make a special mention to Marina and Rory, who both sadly passed away in recent years. Their contribution to our restaurant and its success will always be remembered.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our friends and customers, from both near and far, who have been with us throughout the years. Without your loyalty, friendship and continued support, we simply would not have the business we have today. We are truly grateful to each and every one of you.

We would also like to thank all our suppliers who have kept us going over the years.

We would like to acknowledge the immense contribution and sacrifice our family have put in over the years. Our kids have all been a part of this journey with us, to them we are forever grateful.

We look forward to this next chapter of our lives.
