The best restaurantsof french

12/10/2024: Fabulous dining experience, full house on a Saturday night provided for a lovely atmosphere helped by laid back, pleasant, friendly staff who were well trained and super at what they do. Great building with old style large shopfront windows. BYO policy at no extra charge which is pretty unique! Every dish was fresh & delicious, mussels, sea bream, haddock, beef all cooked and presented to perfection. Totally enjoyable evening finished off nicely with a reasonable bill. Definitely recommend.

16/09/2024: Fabulous restaurant in the picturesque setting of Rosscarbery village with large windows to take it in and we had the perfect table inside the window to enjoy it. We were advised on arrival of the BYO policy with local pubs happily allowing takeaway drinks to the restaurant or shop with off licence a few doors away. Complimentary delicious bread was served immediately which is becoming more of a rarity. The BYO is also complimentary even though they chill your beers and supply wine coolers and glasses at your table. We started with mussels and portobello mushrooms, our mains included haddock, crayfish & a slow cooked beef pasta dish finishing off with yummy desserts. Each dish and mouthful was cooked to perfection and so flavoursome. Roast veg were served with mains, water bowls not forgotten with mussels, food and service was perfection. Finally the dreaded part……the bill but this was almost as good as the food!!! This restaurant is extremely well priced, something we don’t see these days…….value for money offering superb quality food and pleasant service in a really nice atmosphere makes for a night out that you’ll want to and can afford to repeat several times. Highly highly recommend.

09/11/2024: Disappointed with the whole experience, food ok, service ok but hotel is beautiful. Wonderful service in bar, beautiful cocktails but food in Strawberry tree wasn’t for me, my husband had the duck starter and loved it, fish fab, lamb overcooked and I’m disappointed. My husband Cooks better food, not a lie.

28/10/2024: Amazing food from start to finish .. in fact I ran out of adjectives to say how good this place was after the main course .. and desert was still to come .. opening times are from about 6-30 to 9.30 so plan to get there early .. Staff are so good you would take them home with you ..

19/03/2025: Visited on recommendation from staff at Centre Parcs. The best pot of tea and delicious HUGE slice of carrot cake, homemade brown bread toasted with butter and jam. They also stock some really nice foods and gifts. Well worth visiting

02/03/2025: Delightful little coffee shop, limited seating but staff were friendly and accommodating with some additional seating for us. Delicious toasties and wraps. Superb coffee!

16/03/2025: Lovely atmosphere and staff, the breakfast left a lot to be desired. Sausages were like what you'd get in a service station deli, blackened mushroom with no flavour. Would have benefited to have beans served with as it's an Irish breakfast

15/03/2025: I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious with a varied menu and everybody in my party was happy with their selections. Prices were very reasonable (3 course lunch a la carte menu). The staff were incredibly helpful and kind especially towards my daughter who was celebrating a special event. The atmosphere was pleasant, with plenty of space. Overall, a very good dining experience.

02/02/2025: Visitamos La Cueva con la esperanza de una auténtica experiencia gastronómica francesa, pero desafortunadamente, la comida y el servicio no cumplieron con las expectativas. Como nota positiva, el lugar en sí es hermoso y tiene un ambiente elegante, preparando el escenario para lo que esperábamos que fuera una gran comida. Sin embargo, la comida estaba lejos de ser auténtica, y nos dejamos cuestionando si el chef tiene formación formal en cocina francesa. Comienzo: La sopa de cebolla francesa fue decepcionante y careció de los sabores ricos y profundos que definen este plato. Principal: La caña de cordero era promedio en el mejor de los casos, y las guarniciones no la complementaban bien. Los sabores se sentían desiguales. Postre & queso: La selección de quesos sabía como si procediera de un supermercado local, y las galletas saladas eran galletas saladas estándar de Carr directamente de un paquete, difícilmente lo que se esperaría de un restaurante que tiene como objetivo ofrecer una experiencia gastronómica francesa. Tampoco había servicio. Mientras que los camareros eran amables, tuvimos que pedir todo — agua, limpiar la mesa, e incluso el siguiente plato. Hubo poca atención, lo que hizo la experiencia frustrante. En general, aunque La Cueva tiene un entorno hermoso y elegante, la comida y el servicio no estuvieron a la altura de las expectativas. Desafortunadamente, no lo recomendaría para aquellos que buscan una verdadera experiencia gastronómica francesa.

12/01/2025: Me encanta el ambiente acogedor de la bodega. La selección de vinos es excelente. Las comidas tradicionales son bastante buenas, a un precio muy justo dada su céntrica ubicación. Quedamos satisfechos en general y probablemente volveremos de nuevo.
