Delphi Mountain Resort

Four Star

Leenane, County Galway Show on a map

Delphi Mountain Resort is a truly unique place where you can completely escape, unwind, contemplate and relax. It is a place where you can rejuvenate, rebalance and relax.
Central to the Delphi experience is our food. Our restaurant draws its inspiration from the local land and sea. We catch our lobsters and mussels’ fresh every day in Killary fjord and our organic lamb and beef comes from the farms and hills surrounding Delphi. We endeavour to always source our ingredients from carefully selected farmers and fishermen within Connemara. Our vegetables come from a selection of local growers and suppliers.

Please note our restaurant is open for lunch & dinner 7 days a week.
We also have a bar menu which is served daily from 12.30pm to 9pm. Our bar serves bottled beer, wine and a selection of spirits as well as Guinness on draft.
