The Whale's Tail in Clonakilty

Came to clonakilty camping and ate out twice before we discovered Whales Tail OMG it’s worth travelling here just to eat the food the other time atmosphere the setting indoors and outside is just amazing Irene was in total control and with such a pleasant attitude to customers and staff ensuring both guests and staff enjoyed being there Billy in the kitchen ensured exceptional service and an interesting menu full of variations for us to enjoy We came once and returned the following night before we went home we can’t recommend enough if you’re in Clonakilty don’t miss out on a wonderful experience

Delicious food, generous portions, friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Delicious dining experience! Firstly the venue had a great buzzing atmosphere especially for a Wednesday night. It looked great. We had some great drinks. Now the star of the show, the food … fabulous tastes and flavour. Spicy Sushi and a lovely chicken and potato main which also had a great source. If you’re passing by, you have to eat there !!

Good food, good service. Had seafood platter, would have liked more hot cooked seafood instead of the cold crab meat, smoked salmon and prawn cocktail and sushi but it was still good.

The Whales Tail Restaurant is exceptional. We have dined there on several occasions & it never disappoints. The food is excellent- have tried most dishes on the menu & have enjoyed everything. The attention to detail & combination of flavours is amazing. All staff are friendly & accommodating. 5 stars always

This place was great in every way!!

The Whale’s Tail in Clonakilty offers a wonderful dining experience. The ambience is warm and inviting, with friendly and helpful staff who make you feel right at home. The food is absolutely amazing, and the host’s welcoming nature adds to the charm. Highly recommend!

Visited recently for late lunch with friends, wow is an understatement. Every dish we had was amazing, I had lobster roll followed by the best lemon posset & finished off with lovely coffee. Staff were friendly & helpful, service was timed to perfection. Offers choice of indoor & outdoor dining, outdoor had sunshades, cushions & blankets, car park right next door. It has everything & everything was perfect. Highly recommend & will most definitely be back.

Friendly attentive staff, delicious food and a spotless restaurant, a pleasure to dine in. We ll be stopping in again during the summer.

Lovely restaurant beside the Clonakilty Distillery, friendly servers and beautiful starters (we had crab claws and chicken wings), highly recommend the Baked Alaska for dessert it was out of this world. Unfortunately steak was overcooked and sides were underwhelming.
