Top choice in The West Cork Coast


Hidden away in an alley across from Baltimore Castle, this place looks like a top designer has reimagined an old fisherman's cottage. Similar creativity and attention to detail is lavished on the food – a carefully crafted palette of seasonal produce, local seafood, Irish cheeses and foraged herbs and seaweed – so much so that it was awarded a Michelin star in 2019. Book ahead.
