About
Located in what was formerly Ennis' Town Hall, this eatery offers a modern and creative style of cooking and has established itself as one of the leading restaurants in Ennis. Excellent coffee and freshly baked scones are enjoyed as a mid-morning break and a tasty, bistro-style lunch menu is served throughout the day. Local ingredients take centre stage throughout the menu, sourced locally from a network of passionate producers. At night-time, The Town Hall Ennis truly comes into its own. Original art acts as a theatrical backdrop to intimate, candlelit tables, creating a perfect setting for an exquisite dining experience in Ennis. This includes artwork such as the Battle Scene, a very large

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our family loved Town Hall in Ennis! The food was fantastic and the service was just as good with Natalia. She had fun with our children and was very accommodating. The black pudding with fried egg appetizer was AMAZING!! Next time we’re in Ennis, we...will be back multiple times and I’m going to be longing for that appetizer until we returnMore

We stayed in Ennis for three nights of our Ireland trip, and our dinner experience at Town Hall Cafe was by far the best - even better than our two nights eating in outstanding restaurants in Belfast. Aine, the manager, and her staff provided great...service to us despite the fact that they were hosting a large group the evening we were there. The food quality and presentation were excellent, especially the breads, seafood chowder, lamb shank and the peach pudding dessert. Bravo!More

This place is great! The staff are so courteous and kind. When we inquired about the soup of the night, the server brought us tastings without asking and it was delicious! We had the sirloin steak and lamb chops. Phenomenal! Definitely check this place out...if you are in Ennis!More

My Wife and I enjoyed a meal at the Town Hall on Wednesday 26/07/2023. My Wife opted for a trio of crab meat and I had Atlantic Sea Bass, both excellent. I followed with vanilla ice cream which was a marvellous choice of mine. We...had the absolute pleasure of being served by Natalia, Áine, Róisín and Katelyn, who are wonderful ambassadors for the hospitality business. Many thanks Ladies for a most memorable experience. The Restaurant was full, an indication of the wonderful food and staff.More

Just had a lunch at The Town Hall and I have to say it could not be better. Fishcakes with crab meat were delicious, salad and dip also very tasty. Service (mainly young) very nice and attentive. Must visit place.

We just recently celebrated a very special family occasion at The Town Hall. We were so impressed with here! Other family members had highly recommended it! The variety of food on the menu and the quality was so impressive! We had 23 in our group...- a mix of adults and children - so there was a diverse array of dishes ordered. Everything was absolutely delicious! The Service equally matched the amazing food! From the welcome we received when we first arrived to the warm attentiveness throughout our evening. It was so heartwarming and impressive! The waitresses were so wonderful! There was delicious fresh breads served before the meal. The waitresses were so caring and attentive to the children with bringing them jugs of blackcurrant and orange cordial throughout our evening. Every aspect of our evening was so impressive! It made our celebration so enjoyable, special and memorable! I am so looking forward to the next time I will get to dine in this wonderful place! Thank you so much to those that work so diligently to make the dining experience here so enjoyable and so memorable!More

Good food and good service although rather noisy. Portions are fairly large. Food is well presented and fresh. I can definitely recommend it.

We enjoyed a delicious meal but the hostess and wait staff made it extra special. They were welcoming, engaging, and attentive, and it made all the difference in our evening. I cannot remember the staff's names, so I will identify them by their country of...origin that I learned from conversations with them. As an American, I am very interested to learn about those from different countries and cultures and I loved talking with this young and enthusiastic staff. On the evening of May 30th, we greatly enjoyed a fine dinner, and the hospitality of the lovely Irish hostess, and the conversation and excellent service provided by our waitress originally from Poland, and another young man from Tenerife, both very happily working and living in Ireland. I highly recommend the Town Hall for an excellent dinner and outstanding service.More
