Random one, can anyone recommend a restaurant or a bar with food in Cahersiveen?

I know O'Neills the Point is the obvious spot but I need somewhere in the town.

Danke

QCs is OK for an evening meal MOE. Camo's up by the pedestrian crossing from the Church is OK for a snack, and Pettit Delice is superbe quality at very reasonable price if you like cakes or deserts. Or if you've smallies with you the old church on the left heading west does a decent pizza and bottle of wine.

Sorry, I neglected the bar aspect. I think the Anchor opposite Siopa Shu on mainstreet does decent looking grub - havent had grub there in a while though. There used be a place opposite the old church was a great bar doing great food but not sure if it's still doing it. Tend to go into The Point aka O'Neils in Reynard or else into the Lobster in Waterville, which is a great bar and very good food reasonably priced.

Thanks ElderMan, I'll happily take those recommendations. Last time I was down was in November and there was absolutely nowhere open, I got dinner in a chipper.

Some quality pubs though. It was the wettest, stormiest day you can imagine, and all the pubs had big roaring fires. Bliss.

Went to Farmgate in the Market this morning for breakfast. Was very tasty but pricey. €17.50 for 2 sausages, 2 rashers, black pudding, a tomato, 2 eggs, toast and tea. 7.5/10.

I go there a bit with my old man. It's one of the few places that does interesting things for breakfast for those who don't eat meat (my dad). The smoked pepperonata, for example, is very nice.

Their full Irish is very tasty but a bit boring and the chef seems to like serving fairly snotty fried eggs.

Errah eating is cheating

Meant to say, if you're not going to O'Neills and distance isn't a problem, you could do an awful lot worse than The Fisherman's in Portmagee - doesn't look a whole lot from the outside but absolutely beautiful food in there and a good pint. Less pretentious, cheaper, and imho every bit as good as the nearby Moorings/Bridge Bar.

Tell them a sound guy from Cork recommended them

Ah now I'm sure you wouldn't say no to a big bowl of seafood chowder and a pint on a cold day

Corrrrrrrrrrrect! I'm not usually a guinness drinker but down there they know how to pull a decent pint of stout.

Which can't be said for every pub unfortunately, including one we were both in on Saturday

We always went to The Ring of Kerry hotel on the outskirts. It is a 3 star but gorgeous food. I had lovely pan fried hake with ratoutille and mash one time. So good. Nice pints as well. I think it's a refugee centre now. It's the only place we ever ate while staying in Glenbeigh. Nice desserts too.
The chowder in the Glenbeigh hotel at the start of the village on the journey down there is really decent but the rest of the menu isn't great. Good stout pulled. Not the best village for meals though it's been a while since I was there
