The best restaurants in Clonakilty

20/04/2025: 12 of us went for a meal 6 children and 6 Adults a fabolous evening was had by all, from the moment we sat down the service food ambience was amazing. absolutely 10 stars. Will return.

23/03/2025: What a surprise the Sea Palace is. Beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated with no “authentic” music to add atmosphere (it doesn’t need any more than it already has!). We arrived early to an empty restaurant and within 30 mins the place was bustling. It got busier as the evening went in, which is always a good sign. Another indicator of how good this place is can be found in the takeaway service they offer. Massive bags crammed full of goodies were seen leaving several times a minute, clearly it is a hit in the area. On to the food - delicious crispy duck was followed by crispy chilli beef and Singapore rice. Hard to describe how delicious this was - cooked freshly with no telltale signs of the dreaded MSG. The taste was exquisite. Portions could modestly be described as gargantuan, so don’t overorder. Book a table to avoid disappointment and get there soon!

26/05/2025: Disappointing. The prawn cocktail at €16 was overpriced for what we got. There were not that many prawns, very little marie rose sauce and a lot of iceberg lettuce. The hake was bland to say the least. We were very disappointed. It was very expensive for what we had - will not be going back.

18/05/2025: I don't usually write reviews but for this restaurant I did. It's easy to book a table online. A really nice big restaurant with nice chairs and seating and not too hot considering it was a very warm day. The staff were just brilliant, our server was a man and he was beyond helpful. Usually it is really difficult to please the members in my family due to being particular about fish ( no batter) and some of our family are vegetarian. The male server was able to get the chef to make a children's vegetarian/vegan dish. Which I have never had offered to me before and boy did it not disappoint! It was superb!! The hake dish and gnocchi were delicious. The blends of fresh ingredients and combinations were fantastically paired. I will definitely return to Kirby's. I couldn't rate it high enough.

27/02/2025: Too much friendly staff and reasonable prices. I am really surprised to buy from this shop.

24/01/2025: Generally a good selection of product, some of the younger staff a male in particular would want to lose the attitude and look up the meaning of customer service it isn't a privilege for him to put down his phone and take my money
