The best restaurants in Ballycotton

13/01/2025: Literally the first pub i walked in to after getting off the plane, and they've got live country music! (And some Oasis & others). Tried a great new beer too, "Beamish". Think I'm gonna like it here

05/01/2025: We visited the blackbird for lunch to try the food at Trawler Boys. The food was fantastic and it was a lovely pub. We were charged €9 for a Coke and 2 pints of orange cordial, which seems very steep when you consider a can of coke is €3 on its own. I have no issue paying for cordial, but €3 for a pint of it is extreme! Other than that, it was nice

09/01/2025: Lovely spot.. clean Great staff and the breakfast was mighty.

07/11/2024: Food was delicious,and plenty of it

04/01/2025: Exceptional experience. We had set menu early bird in the bar. Staff extremely welcoming, chatty and we felt so well looked after. Food was outstanding, innovative and super tasty. We sent spotless plates back after each course. We only booked on the day and I noted I was veggie. The chef had already figured what he was going to offer, before we got there, all off menu and divine. Added bonus was bar was covered in historical photos and memorabilia of the Ballycotton lifeboat, which was so interested to see. Cannot recommend highly enough.

04/12/2024: Food was great, beautifully presented, maybe slightly over seasoned. (Too much salt) Waitress was top class. Restaurant is nicely decorated and there is also a bar in there. Lovely place for a walk afterwards if the weather is nice. Bit expensive but nice to treat yourself too sometimes. Menu was a bit limited but what was on it and what we had was very tasty.

20/10/2024: We love Ballycotton and absolutely love it. Lots of changes happen each year. However, it's a diamond. The Bayview is literally hanging on the cliff & so important to support our hospitality industry. Local hotels are so important & Suzanne Front of House should be cloned,she's brilliant. Genuine welcome & engaging. Evening dining was delicious. Loses one star as the Irish breakfast was below par..

09/09/2024: Not suitable for a family with young kids.. we booked a family room and got a double room and the response at reception left alot to be desired.. oops and we might sort it tomoro.. avoid if bringing kids
