The Riverside,

6 North Street, Skibbereen P81 N720

"I love this restaurant. They do high quality food all cooked fresh with local produce. Specials are changed on a daily basis. Very generous in their servings. Staff friendly and very helpful. One downside, their non-alcohol beer is disgusting. I am advised they do a breakfast menu also which finishes at about 12:00 - 12:30. I will continue to eat here and a highly recommended place to bring visiting guests."

"Food was delicious but staff were very rude, I asked for another glass of cola not served, when I stepped outside for a smoke I was accused without apology for ditching my bill. I walked back in to a frosty atmosphere paid and left never to return. I would say I was on the phone but to treat a customer like that is appalling"

"The staff was really nice and polite. It’s furthermore great to be able to eat really close to the city centre without seeing and hearing too much of it. And most importantly: my chicken-pasta-salad was really tasty (with lots of herbs and fresh leafy greens)."

"Lovely and kind staff, quick service, tasty food with very good prices. The freshly made orange juice is heaven. Vegan, vegetarian and diary free food available too. Desserts are amazing, handmade in the restaurant. Wonderful place to have a nice and calm lunch or breakfest, especially when its sunny, the outside landscape is amazing, sitting next to the river. Perfect place for a lovely date as well ;)"

"09/07/2019 Brunch ! We sat out the back courtyard which is fab on a sunny day. This place used to be Riverside now it's more rive adjacent. I am hoping the open their barriers or create a garden in the new space between them and the river. Choice on the menu is grand, an open Toastie which was yummy and had gubeen bacon, cheese, mushrooms and really filled a spot. I also had their immune boost juice which my dad laughed at the colour of (it was bright orange) and oh so lovely. The coffee is good and the food is so fresh. My son had French toast with maple syrup and bacon which looked lovely and he confirmed it tasted great."
