Inside an ivy-covered, 200-year-old cottage, this romantic restaurant with white-clothed tables and flickering candles specialises in seafood, such as Lissadell oysters with chervil butter, Rossaveal monkfish with red wine Bordelaise sauce, or Kilmore Quay sea bass with samphire and charred lemon. The three-course early-bird menu is a bargain at €29. Bookings are essential in summer.
