24/06/2026: Superb food very tasty, hospitality was great Karen served us , she was very friendly and helpful. Thanks Karen , we appreciate you. Great experience , highly recommend

14/09/2026: The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, but the staff managed to find us a table, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, the pizza itself was disappointing. Considering it is cooked in a wood-fired oven, we expected a nicely baked, slightly crispy base and crust. Instead, the dough was very soft and had the texture and appearance of being undercooked in places. It just didn't have the crispness or flavour we would normally expect from a proper wood-fired pizza. We didn't mention it to the staff at the time as we were in a hurry and had a long drive home ahead of us, so we simply ate what we could and left. The place was very busy and clearly popular, and the staff were accommodating, but based on the pizza we were served, unfortunately our experience didn't live up to the expectations.

07/09/2026: It is always a pleasure to dine at the Brick Oven. We normally opt to sit it, but have on occasion gotten takeaway. Everything is always perfect. The service is excellent, the food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. It is a lovely restaurant with fantastic staff. Highly recommend.

04/10/2026: Good food, but prices have increased a lot since I first went here over 2 years ago. We stopped going here as we now eat out in Cork which has comparable, and sometimes lower prices than here. No complaints about service at the Gallery as that's always been good. On our last visit about 8 or 9 months ago we had a problem with a drink that just didn't taste right. But they sorted it out straight away. We might go back here again. But it isn't great value fir money at the moment.

20/09/2026: Really nice ambient and attention, the food was not really good, my Cesar salad was really salted and plenty of sauce, excessive.

13/04/2026: Tasty food kebab pizza burger fresh home made chips and oldies takeaway in town

13/09/2026: Great local pub good beer and a great welcome from the staff. Don't miss it if your in Youghal

06/09/2026: Wedding reception in Berties Bar and beer garden was fantastic

20/06/2026: A cook or chef should know the difference between Cajun chicken and blackened chicken (Google it), but I ordered the later and my partner ordered the former, and the chicken looked the same. Mine was also dry and I had to add mayo to it just to make it palatable. The battered jalapenos were much better. As for atmosphere - too much noise. I should have sent it back before starting on it but I too... chicken...

24/05/2026: Wonderful food with huge portions, great atmosphere, will return as its the best around the Crosshaven & Carrigaline area

12/06/2026: Beautiful craft shop in Bantry that sells local arts and crafts. Lovely coffee and gorgeous seating dotted around the shop. Would highly recommend.

31/05/2026: Lovely independent shop and coffee house. Lots of artists works from the local area raging from watercolours to jewellery with a sit in or take out coffee shop for a drink and sweet treat

06/08/2026: Impeccable quality and service with a magnificent view.

01/08/2026: Lovely place for a meal while enjoying the weather

10/10/2026: Great a few more tables outside would be handy.

27/08/2026: I like coming here by bike for coffee and a chocolate brownie. They are delicious. I definitely need to try other items from the menu sometime. A huge plus of this place is the outdoor seating. Of course, it is sometimes hard to find an open table, but that is only because it is a popular spot. The staff is very friendly, and even though it gets quite busy, everything has always gone smoothly. For me, it is an ideal stop during a bike ride to Crosshaven.

24/07/2026: Just had a beef kebab as a special !! Lads this did not disappoint😍

21/07/2026: Great spot, staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you, creating a great atmosphere. It's so clean and comfortable, no money has been spared on the furnishings. It has a pool, kids pool, sauna, jacuzzi and gym all lovely and clean. There's ample parking, with disabled spots, loads of room inside for buggies. There's lots of meeting/conference rooms (didn't see inside these), but can clearly cater for a lot of functions. Plenty of amenities in the area/village all within walking distance. I'll be staying here again

03/06/2026: Just back from a lovely weekend at the Carrigaline Court. The hotel was in a great location for visiting Fota Wildlife Park. The room was modern, clean, and comfortable, and the food was excellent throughout our stay. Breakfast buffet was very good, with plenty of choice. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay again.

03/08/2026: Small, family run restaurant/pub just minutes from the main road set in an old pub. Limited menu, but what they have is very good. The speciality of the house is steak and it shows. The chocolate cake deserves a mention also. Great people and great food. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

16/07/2026: Well know for the best quality steak sandwiches, just off the n22. Ideal location with ample parking

07/09/2026: Had a lovely meal and drinks, staff were very helpful and friendly. Would recommend going here

07/09/2026: If you looking for a nice restaurant/bar..Quays is definitely the right place to stay with the family and friends. Nice atmosphere,sea views, comfortable and fast service. Food is very good and friendly staff. Plenty car park including for buses and caravans.
