Tasty foodGenerous portionsDesserts & cakes
Enjoyed a gorgeous lunch here over the weekend. The service was excellent, great portions and our food was delicious. Huge range of desserts and beautiful wine! Highly recommend for lunch or dinner in Bandon. Loved the interior also and there's a great view of Bandon's new streetscape from the window seats!
The food and its presentation (dishes and desserts) were excellent. The service very gentle and kind. I had a superb espresso corretto with brandy. The rhabarber cake or pie was really good. Keep on and thank you very much!
What an amazing restaurant! The interior is beautifully decorated and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. My meal was perhaps one of the finest burgers I've ever eaten. Cooked to perfection and full of flavour. This restaurant is highly recommended and will be my first stop on the next trip to Cork!
