After visiting Clonakilty for a few years now I have held meetings, consumed drink and eaten in quite a few bars and restaurants in a fantastic little town. I have to say that I have been reccomended the Market House on a few occassions, however, after a evening meal, I left not wanting to return. The service was ok but... More

Love this place, high quality food with excellent presentation and staff that actually care! The meals are great value and it really annoys me that there could be any low review for this restaurant because it is such a lovely spot. There is no way that you will not enjoy your experience here!

There were 6 different courses and 3 wines to taste on this fantastic night in the Market House. The courses ranged from Gazpacho soup to a divine chilli sorbet to a chicken dish from Jamaica. From the beginning, being greeted at the door by Dara in a sombrero to the end, it was a great night. The place was full,... More

Save yourself a lot of money by going for a toasted sandwich and a pint of Guinness in nearby De Barras pub. The food and drink will also be of a much higher standard. Seriously though, very disappointing restaurant. Over priced, poor quality food...tiny portions, terrible service and no atmosphere. It all adds up to a very disgruntled travelling party.... More

Went to the Market House on Saturday July 3 after reading the reviews on here. To say we weren't diassapointed is an understatement. I left a message to change my original booking and was called by the restaurant to confirm that it was fine. The atmosphere was mellow and relaxed and the staff incredibly welcoming. My partner had the scallops... More

My sister and I spent two lovely evenings at this little Gem, quiet and unassuming from the outside, with a modern but warm interior, the ambience and attentiveness that we experienced where second to none, especially as the first visit the restaurant was quiet and on the second busy. We were looked after as if we were the only people... More

What a fantastic restaurant ! Small and unassuming from the outside, stylish and yet welcoming inside, The standard of food and wine was outstanding (we actually dined here two nights in a row and both nights it was wonderful) - cooked and seasoned perfectly. A lovely added bonus was the homemade breads, complimentary soup tasters (asparagus, fennel and lemongrass -... More
