Since we had just a light snack for lunch, we wrapped up our day with dinner at Powers Thatch in Oughterard. A popular pub, it was recommended to me by the agency that helped us organize our accommodations. When several locals suggested it as well, the decision was made. That there was live music tonight was the bonus!

The place definitely has a pub ambiance, but the food is not your typical pub grub. Mui ordered the roasted half duck garnished with caramelized red cabbage. I chose the crab and avocado cake, thinking it would be your typical crab cake. It was much better ... shredded chunks of fresh crab molded in a circle, sitting atop a molded circle of avocado, garnished with pea shoots. A local lager washed down our food. The pièce de résistance was the yummy, gooey walnut brownie served with vanilla ice cream.Read more
