Budds in Ballydehob

11/09/2026: What a treat! We planned our trip to Ballydehob around visiting this restaurant, as part of our honeymoon, and the tasting menu was a stand out dining experience! The space is cosy and well designed and the staff were warm and attentive without being overbearing. The food was phenomenal, perfectly cooked and I will be thinking about soke of the courses for a long time to come. Great use of local produce and the plating was also superb on a range of interestingly textured pottery and stoneware. They also adapted easily to dietary requirements (lactose intolerance/dairy free) which can be rare in fine dining/tasting menus.

15/08/2026: What can I say it is a destination restaurant owned and run by the loveliest and most competent people. You can't put into words how well curated and designed the food, ceramics,decor and service are. 10/10
