House

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Located in the Cliff House Hotel – a modern, glass-fronted building which, unsurprisingly, hugs the cliffside – this restaurant benefits from a stunning view across Ardmore Bay. Fittingly, the cooking draws from the local surroundings by spotlighting high-quality produce such as Lismore lamb, in dishes that reflect the seasons and demonstrate impeccable balance. Classical French cuisine provides the basis for most of the dishes, with a few more creative touches weaved in. If you're in luck, you'll get to try the delicious strawberry and hibiscus dessert.

Tannery

Modern Cuisine

€€€

Close to the harbour sits this characterful 19C stone tannery that also houses a cookery school. Sit downstairs for small plates at the counter or head upstairs to the bright restaurant. The classically based dishes are generously sized and use good seasonal ingredients – don't overlook the specials either. Stylish bedrooms are spread across two nearby townhouses.
