The best restaurants in Ballycotton

08/05/2026: Outstanding food from start to finish

08/05/2026: Absolutely amazing gastronomic experience at The Salty Dog in Ballycotton. The tuna tataki was honestly some of the best tuna I’ve had in a very long time — comparable to what I had in Hawaii. The chef clearly knows exactly what he’s doing. The bruschetta was also outstanding, full of flavour and beautifully prepared. Everything we had was excellent. Add to that the amazing views, great atmosphere, and friendly service, and it made for a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended.

15/04/2026: The Blackbird and Trawler boys is a great place. Well priced pints and the best chowder in Cork. I'd say very nearly the best chowder in Munster. The food prices in Trawler boys are reasonable too. Costs are kept low by you ordering your own food.

08/04/2026: Great bar, lovely staff and food and pet friendly

13/03/2026: Hospitality, food and accommodation great!! Brid & Mike run a first class bar, the food is the best in East Cork and great value.

11/01/2026: Food is always so fresh and delicious. Their scampi is worth travelling for as is all the fish. The roast dinners are always gorgeous and tender, and homemade. Then for lunch, the soups and paninis are delicious, especially with the homecooked ham in the toasted sambos.
