I have left the UK and spent a fair amount of time in Clonakilty over the past 2 yrs (wity a sneaky recommendation in here for the fab Inchydoney Island Lodge - scene of my to be 2012 wedding). Love this place, a smart businessman coming down from Dublin, attentive staff and despite quiet nights when we were in, fantastic... 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

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
