Eat & drink

A wander through Clonakilty’s buzzing Friday market is a good starting point to understanding the food culture which infuses the town’s many restaurants, hotels, pubs and food outlets. Local organic farmers, cheesemakers, foragers, fishmongers, bakers and coffee roasters jostle shoulder by shoulder with procurers of exotic treats from Europe and the East.

A soundtrack of banter, the crackle of the wood-fired pizza oven and the hiss of an espresso is backed by the strains of a fiddle or guitar, so sittting down for a bite or a coffee is a vital element of your market shopping.

A charming, yet cosmopolitan little gem, set in a stunningly beautiful part of the Emerals Isle. Great food, friendly people with immense sense of civic responsibility. Do not miss the music scene.

We found Clonakilty to be one of if not the friendliest place we've ever visited. The people of "Clon " treated us like we had lived there our whole lives.They welcomed us into their lives like we were family.

Great town ."The people are Splendid" to use a quote of the towns most Famous famous residence Michael Collins. The food and choice of food is excellent, the layout of the town with it meanderingĀ streets creates an intimacy with this place.
