The best restaurants in Clonakilty

11/09/2026: The seafood chowder was good, very generous with the prawns and mussels. But not quite as good as some of the more “fish” heavy chowders we’ve tried elsewhere. The wild mushroom rigatoni and chicken were quite tasty. The scampi was good. The portions in all instances were very generous. Overall a nice experience. The fly that kept landing on the table was kind of friendly. There are a lot of flies around these days. Food only served 12-4pm. No dinner.

08/09/2026: Spent little over a week in Ireland traveling around County Cork and this was the best restaurant I visited. Fish and chips, chowder, steak sandwich, and the sticky toffee pudding were to die for; highly recommend!

13/09/2026: Great atmosphere, generous meals, concert Friday and Saturday...

13/09/2026: Tasty food, friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere. Thank you very much

21/08/2026: Everything was good - service, coffee, scones (fresh), coffee cake (proper whisked sponge), fresh bread sandwiches (proper crusty loaf). Quirky memorabilia only added to the atmosphere. Well done all.

13/08/2026: One of the cutest cafes I've come across, tucked in the Spillers Lane. The vibe was of a grandma's home. The home baked goods are to die for. Definitely visiting again!!

22/09/2026: Having returned for the the guitar festival again this year we called into Debarra's to soak up the atmosphere, there was a trad session in the front bar and a banjo player with a bad attitude. He turned up 40 minutes later than advertised, then seemed to get into an altercation with a punter. Then, out of the blue, he shouted at the crowd gathered to 'shut up or get out' better than any bouncer he cleared the place. More than half of the people left, the part we were (near the old stairs / corridor to toilets) in people were in dismay how anyone could have such distain for the customers. He wasn't reprimanded by the bar staff either. Maybe he's the 'manager' ? (He certainly thought he was in charge) On a better note the bar staff were courteous.

06/09/2026: One of the best pubs in Clon. Great ambience and staff. Highly recommend

19/09/2026: We had a fantastic stay in An Sugan... We were in Clonakilty for work and our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable... Food and service was also excellent... We tried the salmon and the chowder and both were lovely. Breakfast was also amazing... Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful... Our car actually broke down and they helped get us in touch with a local mechanic 👍 would certainly recommend....

19/09/2026: Hi, just ordered a gf pizza for takeaway. Brought it home immediately and it was ice cold and uncooked. Not the first time I’ve had a bad experience in this restaurant in clonakilty. Further attention needs to be brought to cooking quality. Shame because the options and ingredients are incredible.

06/09/2026: Lovely place for pizza! Pity upstairs seating closes so early
