Island Cottage
Skibbereen
04/09/2024: From the journey over to Heir on the 2pm ferry - €6 return (no charge for those with a travel pass) to the return journey at 4pm we just had a fab time. The lovely weather was a welcome addition to the experience. There is an inclined 10-15 min walk up from the pier to Island Cottage where we were greeted by Ellmary.
The menu is no choice and I mean No choice. There is no wine list, however a very nice French red & white wine are available to diners.
We sat at a communal dining table with some lovely people. The food is wonderful: medium-rare steak with a buttery mash on a red pepper jus (I could be wrong on this but it was lovely) followed by the lightest of lemon soufflé, Tea/Coffee with home made biscuits finished up the experience. We never actually caught sight of John the chef, as we left to catch the 4pm ferry - however we could hear the industry & smell the aromas eminating from the kitchen. Well done to you both. I look forward to returning.
28/07/2024: An amazing intimate restaurant experience. No menu choice. It is what it is and that’s that. Starter, mains and desert service with tea or coffee for €25! Wine available by the glass or bottle. We sat at a table of 8 and got to have cross table conversations with two lovely ladies and an actor and his Kazakstan partner.
The setting was intimate and we got a sneak peek into the tiny kitchen with the husband cheffing.
The steak and mash on a lovely sauce followed by a soufflé that melted in your mouth.
The others at the table missed their ferry boat back and so we gave them a jaunt back ..
So if you want an experience and to meet some fab people and have some lovely food try and book at table .
Booking open 10am Tuesdays !
