24/04/2026: Restaurant only...excellent, really glad we found it. The staff were lovely and found us a table, we were lucky because it was busy. Carlingford is beautiful, and it was a great welcome on our first day. I thoroughly enjoyed the carbonnara and my husband loved the prawns. Portions were plentiful!

31/05/2026: We visited fishy fishy today after driving over 50 kilometres because we had heard so many great things about it—and every single one of them was true! To start, we ordered the oysters. There were two options available: fresh oysters and baked oysters. . My husband completely fell in love with the fresh ones which was especially impressive as he had never tried oysters before. For our mains, we chose steaks and fish. The portions were very generous, and everything was cooked beautifully. The sides were fantastic and complemented the meals perfectly. A huge thank you to the wonderful staff who looked after us. The service was exceptional from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It’s a lovely family-run business with a fantastic atmosphere, and you can really feel the care and passion that goes into everything they do. The location itself is beautiful, and after our meal we enjoyed a short walk around the area, which made the visit even more special. We will definitely be returning in the future, especially for more oysters! Next time we might even try the lobster for a change. Highly recommended to anyone looking for outstanding food, excellent service, and a wonderful dining experience. We can’t wait to come back! ❤️🦪🦞
