Stopped here for morning coffee on our recent holiday and enjoyed a warm freshly baked scone (delicious) and excellent coffee. Richy was very welcoming and made some excellent suggestions of places to visit. Only sorry that it was not a meal time while we were there! Elizabeth White

Whether it's for coffee on the sunny pavement, or a meal in the restaurant, Richy's is THE place to go in Clonakilty. They had on a good deal when we were there with 3 courses and a more than acceptable bottle of wine for 60 Euros for 2 people - very reasonable. Richy's Mauritian beef curry was absolutely yummy!

Great food and great value primarily. The emphasis is on local and seasonal food. The wine list is very good and compliments the food very well. The last meal I had there was a really delicious chicken pasta with sundried tomatoes in a creamy sauce for lunch. It was really good, my friend had the beef curry and that was... More

We stopped off in the Bistro for some lunch and I have to say I was completely underwhelmed. Its a nice venue, but the menu was uninspiring, even for lunch. There was only about 3 - 4 tables while we were there, but the table beside us remained completely filthy for the duration of our stay, with the waitress picking... More

Ate here on a Sunday night & while it was nice overall the food could have been more flavoursome. My friend opted for the early bird which at €25?was good value but he said the main course lacked flavour. I had a salad which at €15.95 was a bit pricey & the ingredients didn't quite marry. Pleasant service & overall... More

Hi Evergree Thank you for your review. I have passed your comments on to kitchen our staff, as we think this is good constructive criticism and will help the team advance. Over the last few weeks Richy and the team in the kitchen have been working on a new summer menu with some new exciting, fresh local sourced ingredients and... More

My husband and I went to Richys for our Wedding Anniversary and we had a super night. The food was really yummy and the service was excellent. Richy came out to see if we enjoyed our night which I thought was a lovely touch. We will definately be back again.

We had heard such good reviews about this restaurant that we were excited about visiting it and eating there, but afterwards we were left a little disappointed. The interior of the restaurant is quite nice and it has a nice ambience about it. There are two menus on offer and there is quite a wide variety of cuisine on offer,... More

Dear Tommycork Thank you for your review. First I would like to say that yes we are a family restaurant and we very rarely see children in the restaurant so late, so this just must have been a once off night. Something like this cant be helped in the restaurant business as we always need to feed are guests. I'm... More

belated thanks to Richy and his crew for making us so welcome a year or two back when we were in Clon on holiday. Weare are very enthusiastic about food and eating out is the main feature of all our holidays. An early visit to Richy's was enough to convince us that we should return and indeed we chose the...
