Super yummy food and drink, and also a charming market by the bay! Perfect spot for picnic supplies too!

Yummy food, fast and friendly service! We wish we lived closer so we could go there more regularly. Lovely artisan deli attached with massive selection of food, in particular delicious meats and cheeses! Great location just outside Bantry. Yum!!

This is five-star, not for its plush surroundings, but because it is our go-to place for authentic, wholesome, good food in and around Bantry.

Manning’s Emporium in Ballylickey is an absolute gem! I recently visited with a small group of friends for tapas, and the entire experience blew us away.
From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting ambience set the perfect tone for a relaxing evening. The food was nothing short of amazing—every single plate was bursting with freshness and crafted with top-quality ingredients. You can really taste the care that goes into every dish.
What truly sets Manning’s apart, though, is the incredible hospitality. The service was unreal—attentive, friendly, and seamless. A special mention has to go to the owner, who was exceptionally obliging and went above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests. It's clear he truly knows his craft, possessing an exceptional knowledge of the food, where it comes from, and the stories behind the local producers.
If you're anywhere near West Cork, do yourself a favor and visit. Exceptional food, top-tier service, and an unforgettable atmosphere—we can't wait to come back

I wouldnt usually feel compelled to write a review but I recently visited Manning’s Emporium shop and deli and found it to be an absolute little gem. The owners, Laura and Andrew, clearly love what they do and really know their stuff. They have a fantastic selection of Irish artisan foods and wines, and they were super helpful. Hoping to return again soon and try their Tapas.

This place has online plaudits and I would agree that the toasties are tasty. It's not budget at close to €70 for five people but there was plenty of filling, with the cheese oozing. The drink selection is artisanal with craft pops. So inevitably pricey. There was a deli and wine shop on site but we did not sample.

Really a gem. Wonderful shop selling local and other products. Great wine selection and owners very knowledgeable. Lustau Vermouth worth trying. Thursday tapas Ballylickey style definitely worth a trip

Food is just incredible. Cosy spot but prices a little bit on the higher side. Would recommend to anyone heading to Bantry
