Square Table

Top choice in County Cork


The sisters who run this cosy little restaurant are passionate about Irish produce, as shown in a menu that puts local seafood, pork and beef, Gubbeen chorizo, Ballyhoura mushrooms and platters of Irish-made salami, black pudding and Irish cheeses front and centre. Best to book in advance.
