Kingfisher
Set in a beautifully restored grain store, the Kingfisher serves up a short but sound menu of modern Irish food with international twists. Go for Thai spiced pork with sticky rice and sweet Asian salad, duck confit or spiced Cajun chicken with sour cream. It's all extremely good.

Eastern Seaboard Bar & Grill
Build it and they will come… Despite its unpromising location in a business park near the train station, this stylised, contemporary space has been packed since opening, with switched-on staff and quirky details like a backlit decanter collection and metallic fish sculptures. Stunning food like pig's cheek terrine with apple slaw, smoked mackerel pâté, and coffee jelly and vanilla ice cream is served continuously from lunchtime on. Or you could just drop by for frothy German beers on tap.

Bella Atina
Old-school country charm combines with new ideas at this excellent Italian place down by the river. It’s all exposed brick arches and red walls inside, and the menu features classic Italian pastas as well as deftly prepared meat and fish dishes. The cannelloni is a treat.

La Pizzeria
Watch the dough fly as beautiful pizzas are handcrafted in the traditional open kitchen up front. With wine bottles hanging from the ceiling, this is an Italian joint straight out of central casting. It's busy when everywhere else is empty.

PJ O'Hares
On a sunny Sunday afternoon, there's no better place in Carlingford than the beer garden of this wonderful stone-floor pub; in chilly weather, head for the blazing fire. Main courses include beef and Guinness pie, but you can easily fill up on sublime tapas-style starters such as pan-fried crab claws in garlic butter, tangy chicken wings and, of course, Carlingford oysters. Live music plays regularly (try to catch rockin' local duo the Nooks).
