The best restaurants in Bantry legal town

03/05/2025: My online order was delivered within 3 days, Packing was top class with nice Thank You letter and complimentary tea bag. I will definitely be returning customer.

26/04/2025: Great place and shop. Good food, good products. Up to date. Good variety. 👌🏻

14/12/2024: I visited about 15 years ago. I used to wear my hair loosely tied in a scrunchie, I was on the staircase and felt someone touching my hair. There was no one around.

08/12/2024: Bantry House is one of the most stunning places in West Cork. Their gardens are a must visit, but if you have time I highly recommend staying in their B&B, breakfast is delicious, attention is second to none and everyone is super friendly, it feels like home. I really can’t wait to go back.

16/04/2025: Amazing food, friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

15/04/2025: Had the best open steak ‘sandwich’ ever. Just super place. On my ‘very best’ list

18/04/2025: Crispy, juicy pizza with a generous portion. Top service as well. Garlic sauce is superb.

17/04/2025: Very friendly food was tasty and the service was great

27/04/2025: Shockingly overpriced barfood. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful but the food in Michelin listed restaurants in Kenmare is better value..because it's the same price.

21/04/2025: Got the seafood chowder for 13 euro. Should've been a bowl for the price but was a cup. Maybe 9 not 13. Still 5 stars all around due to deliciousness, service, and hospitality. Would recommend

27/03/2025: Beautiful shop to browse in, high quality crafts, and has something for anyone when you are gift shopping. Wonderful selection of quirky greeting cards too. Great coffee is a bonus!

10/03/2025: Best coffee in Bantry. Cool place to chill, listen to music and enjoy your cup of coffee and cakes. A great place to find unique gifts for your friends and loved ones. From greeting cards, to jewelries, scarves, ceramics, framed paintings and photos, scented candles and handmade skincare and many more. Do pay a visit whenever you’re in Bantry. Closed on Tuesdays.

01/04/2025: Very detailed and interesting exhibits stuff most people wouldn't have known about Cork during the rising .

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.

12/03/2025: Wonderful seafood dishes in a relaxed environment. I had the chowder with a crab and salmon open sandwich, and both were delicious. Well worth a trip for lunch.

02/02/2025: Well worth a visit staff welcoming and very professional. Food was super my husband had battered fish chips and mushy peas looked delicious I had baked hake in a lemon butter sauce with veg on the side beautifully cooked . A delicious porter cake with chocolate and a salted caramel ice cream.

27/03/2025: Stopped in for two drinks early in the afternoon, but it lacked any real atmosphere—felt more like a waiting room than a bar, with people quietly whispering to each other. That was in the main bar area. I did check out the space out back, and I can see how it might appeal to others, especially in better weather. That said, after visiting several spots in Bantry, this wouldn't be at the top of my list if I were to return.Staff were nice.

16/01/2025: Great atmosphere, one of a very few remaining old style pubs, well worth a visit

23/04/2025: Had the burger and it was like a perfect meatloaf on a bun. My wife had the stuffed chicken and she was super happy! Our server was amazing and the bartenders too. Thank you for leaning in, listening and making a great food recommendation!

20/01/2025: Good experience good food good service

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!

04/04/2025: Excellent lunch for some hungry cyclists. Food and service couldn’t be faulted. Highly recommend

06/05/2025: Everything is well done and tasty.

05/05/2025: A gem of a place. Noel and the team have been maintaining consistently high standards of hospitality and excellent food for several years. We are lucky to have them in Bantry. I especially like the risotto and the steaks.

08/12/2024: Quality café that is in the centre of Bantry. It has a lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff and top quality produce.

31/10/2024: Had an absolutely beautiful toasted special here today. Really fresh ingredients. One of the nicest I've had in a very long time!

13/11/2024: Lovely cosy pub with old world atmosphere and 2 alsatians that love crisps!
