The best restaurants in Bantry legal town

20/07/2025: I’ve always wanted to stop here but I found it stressful and unpleasant unfortunately. The service was so unfriendly - I stood for ages unacknowledged at the till while they did other things. Unhelpful staff who (it felt) were judging if you fitted the pretentious clique. Maybe this is the place for you if you are part of the Organic elite but not for regular people.

27/06/2025: So happy I found a shop that delivers good organic products in Ireland. After 4 orders, I've never been disappointed. Everything is always carefully packed, no damage to the products from Bantry to Dublin and nothing is ever missing. Thank youuuu.

11/07/2025: Was very good but the nachos portion was quite large

07/07/2025: Fantastic food, I had the seafood linguini special - definitely up there as one of the best I've ever had

12/06/2025: What a beautiful house with a garden. You should definitely go there and enjoy it ❣️

09/06/2025: Only available for a tour of the house. Beautiful grounds, very well-maintained garden. The house is clearly in need of renovation, but that doesn't detract from its charm. Unfortunately, no photos allowed inside.

07/07/2025: Amazing food here! We got recommended the dish, chicken chip by one of thier customers. It's fantastic also very affordable price!! The Staff Umar and Zee are super friendly and we strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone visit in Bantry. :)

22/06/2025: We spontaneously ordered takeout, and it was delicious. The staff was super friendly. The pizza was generously topped, crispy, and not greasy. Garlic sauce on top!

16/07/2025: Great vibe in that pub, which seems very small from the outside, but is quite deep with several rooms in the back and also a nice beer garden. Great atmosphere with friendly people and the staff is very nice, though not numerous enough to handle the crowd.

11/07/2025: Excellent pub with great service!

14/07/2025: Beautiful coffee shop and lovely jewelry 😍

03/06/2025: A very cool shop with lovely staff, we bought a few bits as we're currently in the middle of moving house, but could easily have filled the car.

29/06/2025: We ordered seafood platter. Server told us it was cold. What we didn’t expect was everything to be covered in mayonnaise. Had to ask 3 times to get water. We are staying at hotel 6 km away. I barely made it back before i got sick. Highly recommend not eating here.

28/06/2025: Lovely friendly people and atmosphere, Pints of Guinness were beautiful The food was fabulous Definitely recommend it

19/07/2025: Great pub with delicious food. Unfortunately, the gluten-free fish was sold out one evening, but the staff went out of their way to provide an alternative. They also serve delicious gluten-free beer. Live music is offered two days a week, where guests can join in. Truly fantastic!

16/07/2025: Amazing food and friendly staff!

23/06/2025: Food was super fresh, we ordered calamari, mussels, chowder and fish&chips. The best were calamari and mussels. I was a bit of disappointing with chowder as it didn't have fishy taste it was more like delicate broth. Crab sandwich need bit of more salt. Overall we were really happy with visit!

12/05/2025: Lovely fresh seafood and friendly staff. Well worth a visit

13/05/2025: Lovely food..... generous portions. Friendly professional service. Very enjoyable experience.

18/04/2025: Honestly one of the nicest paninis I've ever had (cajun chicken, red onions, loads of melted cheese), the selection of foods is great, very friendly staff. Good coffee!

21/06/2025: At 75 years of age I have eaten well. I have to say the meal I had on Thursday was absolutely one of my best ever. The black sole was out of this world. Don’t tell anyone about this gem.

07/06/2025: Delicious food served by staff who are keen to ensure a memorable and special experience. So lucky to have squeezed in a reservation! If you’re a group of four or five try to get the round table.

12/06/2025: A cute shop with a great variety of baked goods. The pecan cinnamon bun was perfection! Some seating outdoors.

24/04/2025: Takeaway Food. Good food but staff not very engaged. The one-way layout of the small shop means it’s difficult to browse at the counter without being pressured by the customer behind you. There is an obvious reluctance to supply bags fit for purpose too and I was handed three quite large items and expected to balance them in my hands, heading out into the heavy rain. I will return but these things do need to be ironed out if they care about their customer experience.

02/10/2024: Made a booking online then turned up (after driving 20 mins) and they have signs up saying permanently closed…suggest to change the booking system to stop taking bookings

30/09/2024: We ate twice at O’Connor’s whilst visiting Bantry - breakfast and diner - with a large and small family group. Our Aunt Margaret loves O’Connors so we skipped mass and headed over for a hearty breakfast. We had a large crowd over and O’Connor’s, who were very busy, were superb in accommodating our booking. Service was fast and attentive, the staff lovely even though they were rushed off their feet. Luckily Margaret had booked and we saw many people turned away. O’Connor’s is clean and modern, a lovely place that has a great atmosphere and the staff take time to chat, again, despite being busy. Portions are great and because I arrived a little late, the O’Connor’s team sorted me a fantastic gluten free bacon sandwich. A couple of nights later, we went for dinner with a smaller group and it was very good. We sat in the covered area out side and it felt very cosmopolitan, Brilliant restaurant, family friendly and good value. The key selling point is the fantastic staff. I understand it’s up for sale and the challenge for new owners will be matching how good this place is. Lovely people, good food and brilliant service.
