The best restaurants in Skibbereen

28/02/2026: Ate at Church restaurant this evening and what a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Beautiful meal in truly magical setting, superbly attentive and friendly staff. My new number one destination while visiting west Cork.

20/02/2026: We comeback frequently and enjoy it every time! There kids chicken goujons are so nice and the design of the church is so nice! If your in Skibbereen this place is a must go the experience of the church is so nice!

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!

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!!

24/02/2026: Exceeded our expectations , staff very good and the food is lovely . Was a family reunion type trip and it was everything and more than once could hope for .

21/02/2026: A hotel with such a history that should and DOES know a thing or two about great old fashioned accommodation and service. Room was huge and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Nice to note that room safes would be overkill! I had the most succulent mouthwatering turkey and ham main for dinner, only problem was there were too many other customers there soI couldn't lick the plate😜 Breakfast service from 7:30 am, excellent with buffet and table service. Two perfectly cooked poached eggs for me. Thank you. Secure and free parking at rear by the side of the beautiful Ilen. What more can you ask for?

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.

06/09/2025: You can make stunning pieces of art here

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

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.

13/02/2026: Always serving delicious vegan food, like sandwiches, stew and cake.

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!
