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.

18/08/2025: Very good pizzas, well-cooked and light, cooked over a wood-fired oven. The back room lacks light. Dirty restrooms.

09/08/2025: We had a great meal at the Brick Oven! We were satisfied!

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.

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!

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!

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.

16/07/2025: Very disappointed Asked for mash to be swapped out for croquettes or any other patato option and I was told not possible cannot deconstruct a main course.!!! Are they not made up fresh!!! Sounds ridiculous as in my opinion this was a very simple request. When sole did arrive the sauce was way too salty. Would not come here again

14/07/2025: Came here for food as we specifically wanted seafood. We shared a chowder to start which was delicious then shared the chicken wings which were just okay, then shared the mussels which were delicious. We were giving plenty of bread too which was nice. The service was good and the staff were very attentive. Would defo come back here again if I was in bantry.

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!

03/08/2025: Super fast service and the food is top class, the steak is probably the best I've had, very busy so booking in advance is a must

12/07/2025: Quality food cooked to perfection and the staff are so friendly and attentive. Every dish was divine. I would highly recommend and cannot wait to go again.

06/08/2025: The chowder was very good, as were the salmon and crab sandwiches. The Cronins cider was good.

02/08/2025: Overcooked fish and chips and frozen fries Not much effort put into the cooking

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.

22/04/2025: Great staff and good value for money.

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.

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!
