Budds in Ballydehob

25/08/2024: We had the tasting menu here on Friday night and we were given an experience that we both thoroughly enjoyed. Between the service and the food we were not disappointed, both were spot on and worth the trip . We have decided that we will definitely be coming back

26/07/2024: Went for the "snacks and nibbles" menu and the signature tasting menu. The dishes in the snacks menu were nice, and the atmosphere upstairs was quite casual. They had a good selection of wines in both, the snacks and the signature menus. The signature tasting menu was excellent, this was, by a remarkable margin, the best fine dining experience I've ever had. You could see the chef's attention to detail in each and every dish, and many of these dishes were very innovative and tasted absolutely delicious. Even my least favourite dishes were ones that I would love to have again, and the best ones were to die for. The serving staff were very friendly and so knowledgeable. They knew the cooking methods, the ingredients and the origin of these ingredients. Some of them even gave me general directions to the ingredients' origins. Kudos to the chefs, service staff and everyone involved who made this experience possible. Highly recommend visiting this place, worth every penny
