Applebettys Cafe
Skibbereen
29/10/2025: Staff were lovely and it was clean.
Food was very basic. It’s says the sandwiches etc come with tortilla chips-there was 3 on the side of the plate. Side salad was very fresh though. The bagel I ordered was missing toppings and was 80% relish with a small amount of goats cheese. Grand if you just want something very basic and quick.
29/10/2025: A very cozy cafe, I really liked the food, the sandwich was not dry, lots of cheese, very clean, the staff is top notch, polite and friendly, the food is the best.

Clancy's Bar & Restaurant, Youghal
Youghal
05/07/2026: Our favourite place to eat in east cork ! Fabulous food , service was fast and staff were very friendly and very accommodating and cautious to my shellfish allergy . The steak sandwich is divine. It was busy with a great atmosphere and the bonus of a sea view !!!
04/07/2026: Over a 2 hour wait for food even though the place wasn't busy, think it was a staffing issue. Not great for business in the height of summer, No wonder the place is up for sale, there is no interest there with the staff..
