The best restaurants in Skibbereen

02/02/2026: Best fish&chips ever!!!! The fact that its a church is very unique as well and looks beautiful inside with the stained glass

13/01/2026: 12 of us went here Friday for a birthday celebration. food was very good and tasty our waitress was lovely and friendly and accommodating we had an elderly relation with us who can't manage big portions and she got us the children's portion for her . we will definitely return

06/01/2026: Always friendly and accommodating, helpful around allergies and food intolerances. Great tasting and well presented fresh food.

05/12/2025: Beautiful breakfast there this morning. Would definitely recommend.

21/08/2025: Great coffee and relaxed atmosphere

07/08/2025: Beautiful... old school cafe with new world coffee and cakes. Highly recommend

27/12/2025: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I visited JC Fish & Chips takeaway in West Cork and the food was incredibly delicious. I had the fish of the day with chips and an apple juice. Everything was very fresh, high quality, and perfectly cooked. The price was very reasonable for such great food. I’ll definitely be back—highly recommend!

26/11/2025: The hake is genuinely great Really good fish That's all I go for

03/09/2025: A quite superb Supervalu. The staff are well trained and always cheerful!

29/08/2025: Fields have put a lot of money bringing their shop up to the standards of the 21st century. Unfortunately, they didn't use the opportunity to bring the standards of their toilets up too. No wheelchair accessible toilets. No excuse in this day and age especially as they are running an in-house cafe. The cafe leaves a lot to be desired. The coffee is awful, food is mediocre and the tables not very clean. UPDATE Fields had a single bathroom downstairs which they had allocated to the elderly. However, they have since taken down that sign and replaced it with a free for all. There is no sign to tell able-bodied customers to use the ample toilet facilities upstairs. Now there is often a queue for their single toilet downstairs. Had they put any thought into the design or had any consideration for the disabled they could have easily made the downstairs wheelchair-friendly and solved a number of issues. They do advertise that their car park has wheelchair accessible spaces. There are not enough of these and cars and delivery lorrie’s are constantly blocking the ramps. Wake up Fields!!

29/10/2025: A very cozy cafe, I really liked the food, the sandwich was not dry, lots of cheese, very clean, the staff is top notch, polite and friendly, the food is the best.

29/10/2025: Staff were lovely and it was clean. Food was very basic. It’s says the sandwiches etc come with tortilla chips-there was 3 on the side of the plate. Side salad was very fresh though. The bagel I ordered was missing toppings and was 80% relish with a small amount of goats cheese. Grand if you just want something very basic and quick.

31/01/2026: Very nice hotel in the city centre, great and clean rooms, lovely breakfast, the only thing , no usb connectors for phone charging, but it’s ok 👍🏻

31/08/2025: Had a pottery 1 hour class and was fabulous! Cant wait to do it again!

15/06/2025: Great pub, large with plenty of different areas, old school and traditional. The owner William was absolutely lovely, loved having the chats and gave us plenty of information on the area and the farmers market , which is on every Saturday in the town and well worth a visit.

19/01/2026: Great coffee and food, super freindly staff

29/08/2025: The staff is very helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. The food is delicious, I’ve had my daily sausage roll with marmalade and it doesn’t disappoint! Various varieties. More seating would be nice, but no t a deal breaker.

05/11/2025: One of the most amazing experiences of my life. The two days we spent at Liss Ard were complete and utter magic! We both loved it so much that we would love to go back and experience more of what this stunning estate has to offer. The staff, location, food and atmosphere was utter perfection! My dream getaway!! Already wishing we could go back ✨

15/10/2025: Liss ard is an absolute dream of a hotel. One feels transported to a long ago fairy tale upon entering the property, and the feeling only increases with exploration of the buildings and grounds. The bar and restaurant were beautiful and served delicious, locally-sourced fare.

12/09/2025: Welcoming staff, delicious vegan fare, and a wide range of books available to peruse - from gently used all the way to rare/signed/first editions. They have a variety of weekly events posted around the shop, along with reminders to put your phone away so you can absorb the peaceful atmosphere. Will definitely return to this sweet, thoughtfully considered space!

16/08/2025: Very cool book collection, loads of Irish history and literature. Worth a visit.

18/12/2025: Came in late after a long day of travelling and arrived in near closing time. They were very accommodating to me and my partner, we had accommodation already sorted elsewhere but we had some food here and it was deadly. Owners very friendly and recommend us sights to see. Will be back when we visit skibbereen again.

25/08/2025: Great service as always, food is fabulous, well worth a vist. (not just pub grub, it's restaurant quality), not local but been coming here for nearly 20 years when west along, its always a good place top stop
