We went in for tapas which I had heard were good. The menu looked very interesting! Plenty of variety and interesting combinations. I couldn't decide what I wanted and we ended up ordering 4 dishes. They also gave us bread to soak up the sauces afterwards. We couldn't finish. Each of the dishes had several tastes interacting in different ways and any one would have been great on its own. Looking forward to going back to taste the rest of the menu - one at a time though!

Had breakfast at Bettyâs and were not disappointed. Food well presented, plentiful and very, very tasty. Itâs unfortunately quite crowded, with the maximum of punters squeezed into the tiny cafe. Makes standing up and walking around a very precarious affair. Stil, worth the visit.

I have eaten her lots of times and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh and tasty. I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The daily specials are delicious. My favourite is the chicken broccoli bake. They have recently expanded to some outside tables but with the Irish weather as it is, it is rare to be able to sit outside.The prices are not cheap but are reasonable enough considering the quality. Happy to 100% recommend.

Spent three nights in Clonakilty staying at the An Sugan, although we have visited before we had not stayed until now. The B&b is really lovely, our room was a good size and clean, breakfast was good and varied. Ideal location in the high street, worth giving it a try.

Family dinner so we ordered and pizza soon arrived. Delicious and everyone was very happy. Real meats used which is how it should be versus the dominoes etc processed meats. Not many seats upstairs so best to book ahead.Hi Neill,Thank you for your great review, we're delighted you and your family enjoyed our pizzas and thanks for the shout out for our real meats, our local ingredients are what really give our pizzas the edge! We hope to see you back again soon!Kind regards,Oak Fire Pizza

Very central hotel, ideal if you were staying in Clon and wanted to walk around the town. We both had the chowder to start with, it was packed with plenty of fish, the consistency was nice & creamy, served with brown bread. For main I went for the fish & chips, my other half had the burger, both dishes were cooked just right and very good. This is a nice restaurant, reasonable priced with friendly staff and good food.Dear constantlylauraThank you for taking the time to pass on your feedback Im delighted that you enjoyed the meal and that the team took good care of you.

Reviewed By martlovestrav
Richys has been our first choice in Clon for years. Our recent experience was terrible. Senior staff member spent the evening with friends. Two new staff clueless. On arrival showed to our table and requested water. Ten minutes later after 2 reminders water arrived. Bread delivered to table but no plates . After 40 minutes the starters arrived. 30 seconds later the same waitress delivered our main courses. Steak which was the best dish was overcooked but nice. Pizza was undercooked. Other main courses were just tasteless. Very very disappointed. Hi Martlovestrav,Thank you for taking time to post this review,can you kindly email use with the dates you were in so we can investigate further, [email protected],It seems like our team were not performing to there usual standards.I would like invite you back and have dinner with us once I can look back at the night in question.best regards richy

My Husband tried here for a cuppa first, and came home raving it. Knew it was in town, but had never gone there. The two of us popped in for a snack subsequently, and it was delicious beyond expectations. We both had bruchetta . Amazingly fresh. Tomatoes were so tasty, and appeared just prepared. The staff are so lovely. A beautiful young girl, so pleasant and friendly with a wonderful demeanour. Will now be a regular spot for us.Don't pass it by, pop in and see for yourself. We really enjoyed.Many thanks for your glowing review. Yes we prepare all the food at the time of ordering. On occasion it may take a little time but the food is guaranteed freshly prepared. We work as a team so the staff love their job, and it shows. Thanks for taking the time to review Molly's Café and Wine bar. We hope to see you again soon. Dena O'Donovan proprietor.

I visited Mountain House, Ardfield today. From the first glance it looked like your avarage gastropub, but it was anything but! I heard before that food is nice in here but when my plate arrived, my expectations were exceeded.Not only it looked like it came straight from some posh restaurant kitchen, it tasted heavenly. Scallops were cooked to perfection, and prawns with mango salsa... I am struggling to find words to describe that perfection. I was planning my next visit before even finishing my meal. I wish I could rate my visit today more then 5 stars. Simply amazing
