This was the tastiest meal of a week in Ireland, and we had some great ones.
If you want a great meal, head to the busy place where people are waiting… this place is clearly so popular there was a line of chairs in the street for folk to wait for a table to come free. We rocked up early in the evening and got in but reservations would be a better idea. My hake with prawn ratatouille was OUTSTANDING. The pizza looked great too

Lovely little place in the heart of Bantry. Definitely worth stopping by. The seafood chowder was probably the best we’ve had. I also recommend getting the Brie fritters with the cranberry sauce. Great service and beautiful views of Bantry Bay.
Lovely spot in Bantry! The wood-fired pizzas are fresh and taste delicious , there’s also a great variety of seafood, pasta, and steaks. Staff are friendly and attentive, Perfect for families or a casual night out. Minus 1 star for ordering chips and never getting them
