There's a relaxed yet professional feel to this sweet, intimate restaurant where the shelves are laden with wine, mead and all manner of jars full of produce marinating, curing or fermenting. Skeaghanore duck is among the County Cork produce championed on the constantly evolving tasting menu, where skilfully prepared dishes show a great understanding of textures and tastes, and are pleasingly understated in their pure, natural flavours. Smaller growers are present in the wine pairings, while they make their own juices and cordials for the non-alcoholic option.

Ichigo Ichie Bistro & Natural Wine

€€

Don’t be fooled by the unassuming, mirror-glazed façade; once you enter this popular Japanese bistro, you’ll be greeted by the almighty buzz of many contented diners. A relaxed, lively reimagining of the former Ichigo Ichie, the emphasis here is on fairly priced, unfussy dishes that use quality produce. You mustn’t leave without trying the matcha panna cotta with lychee ice cream, or sampling one of their carefully sourced natural wines. The friendly, well-orchestrated service team enhance the experience.

What a terrific, buzzing little place this is. The compact space is filled to bursting with happy diners delighting in Goldie's inviting combination of sensibly priced cooking, electric atmosphere and friendly service. The daily menu is based around the latest catch from the West Cork coastline, with the top-notch seafood used with a 'fin-to-gill' approach and often enlivened by an array of international influences. Cod tail schnitzel or pan-fried red mullet with chicory chutney are prime examples of the ethos, which yields delicious results.

Situated within the grand Park Hotel Kenmare and overlooking Kenmare Bay, this elegant dining room comes with the added bonus of being decorated with original paintings by Irish artist Sean Scully – the restaurant is even named after one of his works. The kitchen showcases a bounty of prime Irish produce, from scallops and sole to venison and Irish farmhouse cheese – all embellished with precise, well-judged accompaniments. Oenophiles will appreciate the strong choice of classic vintages.

Having been a presence in Kenmare since 1995, this smart, warm restaurant has become a part of the town’s fabric, with plenty of the locals contributing to its lively atmosphere. Come for cocktails and snacks in the bar or settle in for the evening to enjoy a menu underpinned by local beef and seafood. The hearty dishes pack in plenty of flavour and are classic at heart, as evidenced by a terrific deconstructed version of a fish pie that shows off all the expected flavours via premium-quality seafood.

Run by the fourth generation of the owners’ family, this restaurant is set in an enviable position on the ground floor of the Dunmore House Hotel with views out over Clonakilty Bay. As you'd expect in such a location, fish and shellfish – such as Galley Head lobster – play a large role in the menu, as does other locally sourced produce and ingredients from their own organic kitchen garden. This is all fashioned into bright, fresh-tasting dishes that have an appealing lack of fuss and deliver on flavour.

The Glass Curtain

Modern Cuisine

€€€

What was once the locally renowned Thompson's Bakery is now this compact brasserie with stylish monochrome décor and exposed pipework, run by a charming team. The menu is designed for sharing, with heartily sized main courses largely consisting of prime produce like lamb saddle, côte de boeuf or meaty monkfish. The kitchen's pared-back approach frequently pays dividends, thanks to the quality of the ingredients, including less eye-catching elements like the simply delicious beetroot packed with natural flavour.
