This place is a real gem! I have eaten there about 4 times in the past year and have never been disappointed. In my view, it's the best restaurant in Bantry. The food is gorgeous and the menu has a wonderful selection to suit all tastes. I especially like their vegetarian options and specials which they seem to put a lot of thought into. They are unique and inventive. The service has always been sublime also, with friendly and attentive waiting staff. There is a lovely vibe in the restaurant and the decor is also very nice. I'm often shocked that this place is not more popular than it is as if I lived in the west Cork area, I would be in there as often as posdible! Keep up the good work guys! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are ecstatic to hear how much you enjoyed your visit to us here at Bia. We are sorry you don't live in West Cork too but do come see us again soon.

Lovely bar and a good bar menu with loads to choose from. We had lunch here one day while staying at the hotel and it was delicious. Huge portions and tasty toasted sandwiches. Looking at other food being served it all looked good. I also enjoyed a Cosmopolitan on one of the nights and it was excellent, really well made.They have an extensive wine and cocktail list as well as a good range of gins and whiskeys.Lovely to relax here over a drink at any time of the day or night and there was live music while we were staying at the hotel. Great staff too, welcoming and provide great service..Dear QuinEm,Many thanks for your review. We are delighted to read your fantastic comments Our team are delighted with your feedback and are pleased you were able to relax in The Maritime Bar while sampling the menu! We look forward to your return trip in the future. Kind Regards,Maritime Management

Very friendly. Small and local. Prices a bit startling for somewhere like this and the food wasn't really of a quality to justify it

Friendly hosts, fabulous cheese selection (see them inside where they sell them "to go"), selection of cured meats, beer -- what a great way to have an afternoon lunch while traveling through the area. Finish it off with a cup of poitin (traditional distilled spirit -- strong!). It's good to have a driver!Eat outside on the "porch". Relax!
