The best restaurants in Ballycotton

30/07/2026: Oh my goodness this place is so neat! Just imagine this: a perfect cozy inn nestled in a picturesque Irish village with the best desserts! The staff were so kind and very attentive! We both stayed at the inn and had lunch and dinner there! The rooms were cozy, clean, and comfortable - even my son, Gene, got a great night’s sleep, and let’s just say he’s “a little” particular about his sleeping set up (HAH! 🤣). No complaints from anyone in our family! I’d definitely recommend staying in the inn if you can, but the restaurant is a MUST!! The food was a delight! My kiddo, Louise, got the quiche of the day for lunch - it was salami and goat cheese and she said she loved it! And they gave her a huge piece - it was like a fifth of a big quiche! My hubby got the sandwich and he said it was as good if not better than one of mine - and that’s a high bar to clear (if I do say so myself 😉). The main food was all delightful, but if you only have room for one bite, get dessert first. OH. MY. GAWD. the desserts are D-I-V-I-N-E: DIVINE 🤩. My daughter, Tina, scoped it out before ordering lunch and came back and told us she ordered dessert already. I started to ask if she was joking when the wait staff brought over not one, not two, but THREE AMAZING desserts: I guess my teeny Tina couldn’t wait and got the coffee square, the tiramisu, and the carrot cake. My hubby LOVES carrot cake, but it had walnuts in it so I had to personally abstain for allergy reasons, but he is STILL raving about it, and let’s just say he’s hard to impress (HAH! 🤣). Seriously, though, these desserts were AMAZING! The tiramisu was PERFECT! It was just sweet enough with excellent coffee flavor. I mean, heck, there was enough espresso in there I felt like I hadn’t even drunken my margarita after! Oh, it was SO good! This momma bear 🐻 LOOOVES tiramisu, but I’ve got to admit, the coffee square was my favorite! The cake was moist and baked perfectly. And, oh, the icing! It was very sweet, but momma’s got a sweet tooth! It was caramelly and perfect. It was so good I got a second piece to go for a midnight snack! Ugh, I’m going to miss those desserts. I have GOT to shout out the baker behind the magic: Breda! We asked and she works there and found out she makes all of these slices of heaven routinely. Breda, you go girl! You’ve got one (excuse my language 🤭) HECK of a talent 🫶🤩!

25/06/2026: One of the best fish and chips I've had with great seating and a beautiful view. Staff are friendly and the desserts are incredible

15/10/2026: Absolutely fab spot for fresh seafood and a drink. We stopped in on our way to the beach and it was such a lovely surprise. The pub looks fairly standard at first but the back opens up into a lovely courtyard where they serve very tasty and reasonably priced sea food. The seafood spice bag is excellent. There was a wedding on when we were there so it was difficult to find seating, but we managed just fine with a little patience. It was quite busy so I wouldn't go there if I was under any time pressure. Well worth a stop.

12/10/2026: Great buzz in the place. The staff were really friendly. There was a gorgeous smell of food and there was a lot of people eating. I had a meal scheduled in my hotel...... I was very tempted though...
