The Auld Shebeen (Betty's) in Ballina

06/07/2025: Quality food. Approximate service with little empathy. Very long wait times of 25/30 minutes to finally be able to eat...

23/06/2025: Magnificent! After several disappointments at restaurants we knew in the region, where the damned burger is slowly gaining ground, finally an exceptional place, I mean EXCEPTIONAL!!! Very high-quality products, refined cuisine, elegantly garnished plates with a perfect blend of flavors, worthy of a very good Michelin-starred restaurant in our region. For starters, a swordfish carpaccio with pickled salsify, sesame seeds, and orange juice: a delight. Next, we had cod and sea bream, both extremely fresh and perfectly cooked, and especially very well accompanied by vegetables, seeds, flowers, trout roe... Also worth mentioning is a remarkable white wine from Etna: Alta Mora. More than reasonable prices for a wonderful dinner. The service was attentive and perfect. A big thank you to the chef: we will be back as soon as possible!
