Called there Sunday 5th June '16 whilst staying in the village. We were made very welcome by the staff and offered a table in the lounge area of the new clubhouse. A young barman gave us menus and took our drinks order. There was a good selection of dishes available and the prices were very reasonable. I opted for the steak sandwich which came with a side order of chips and my partner picked the catch of the day. Both arrived without a long wait, nicely presented. The steak sandwich was slices of meat in a ciabatta roll & a salad serving. The catch of the day came as two pieces of fresh cod in a crispy batter on a bed of hot chips and mushy peas. The quality of both meals was excellent and the staff were very pleasant.Overall we'd definitely eat there again on our next visit. For quality and price, you'll not find anything to compare it with.

We used to eat regularly in this restaurant and was very annoyed when we heard that this had closed. What a surprise to see someone have the foresight to invest in the decor and bring in two great chefs that produce the most delightful fresh food. This is a fish lovers dream - the scampi was the best I think I’ve ever tasted the wife got a steak which was cooked to perfection. Please give this a try you won’t be disappointed.

Couldn’t resist stopping here after our Sheephaven Bay Swim down the lane. Went to the horse box outside because the weather was so lovely. Beautiful vanilla chai latte and caramel square with a beautiful view and they happily use your own reuseable cup!

its a generously sized restaurant with efficient service. Mussels starter and sea bass main were lovely, Cajun chicken not authentic and a little tough. seasonal veg and potatoes were nice and cheeseboard a good way to finish. We had a nice bottle of Chilean sauvignon.

Starfish Cafe & Bistro

Reviewed By rickr398

Stopped by for a lunch at this small cafe in town. Had a very nice menu to choose from and had a roomy and nicely done interior. We ordered the soup of the day, a ham and Brie sandwich and a chorizo and goat cheese sandwich. The soup was fine, nothing special, but the 2 sandwiches were very tasty and worth getting again. Plates came with small salad and crisps. Good service.

Cafe Arnou is my ‘go too’ cafe/bistro in Dunfanaghy. The service and food is consistently good and healthy options are aplenty. Shannon, Evelyn, Kayleigh....all of them, are consistently good and have a great sense of humour which adds to the ambience of the Cafe. The decor perhaps needs a little ‘facelift’ but it’s appeal is nonetheless undeniable.

The Mill Restaurant

Reviewed By 751VictorB

Have eaten several times at the Mill. On this occasion we stayed overnight and had dinner with some friends. As usual the location is stunning beside the “New” lake. The rooms are well appointed and spacious with all the facilities that you would want including complementary drinks. The Mill has a wine licence therefore no spirits.The meal we had was not up to their usual standard. Both my friend and myself ordered a rare fillet which came over done. However, the ladies had fish which were perfect. In the morning, breakfast had a good menu with lots of options including some local fare. I had an omlette which again was overdone and as a consequence “rubbery” but tasty.Despite these reservations would highly recommend.
