Bay Tree in Carlingford

Firstly, the food is excellent - we had the aubergine/cauliflower main and the lamb main and both were outstanding from both the taste and presentation points of view. However, the noise level was excruciatingly, so loud as to be physically painful, and we bolted our food so as to be able to leave as quickly as possible. You might not care if you are a large group on the lash and prepared to bellow at each other all evening, but for couples or a family get-together, normal conversation is impossible. The food deserved better than this atmosphere; sadly, we will not be returning here.

Exceptional restaurant. If you are a big foodie, then this will not disappoint! A smaller menu than most but each and every dish is exquisitely prepared, cooked and prepared. Flavour is packed into every element. Nice relaxed surroundings, great service, no negatives. This one gets full marks. Really excellent and located in beautiful Carlingford.

Food atmosphere drink service accommodation just incredible.

Myself and my girlfriend went here for a birthday meal and the food was out of this world. Certainly one of the the top restaurants I've ever been to and would highly recommend anyone to dine here. Service was quick and staff were all very friendly and chatty. First class restaurant.

We ate here today & cannot speak highly enough of our dinner. The dishes were flavoursome & cooked with knowledge. Sometimes restaurant food is over salted, with reliance on butter & cream. In contrast, the flavours of the food here held their own. Great service too

We had lunch there today. Absolutely outstanding, thanks Conor and your great team.

Another fabulous meal in The Bay Tree last night. Thank you to Liz, Geraldine and compliments to the chef.
