Called in on a Sunday afternoon was not to busy and we were delighted with our lunch! My wife had the club Sandwich and I had the seafood chowder which I though was first class ! Man who looked after us was very nice and friendly!
6. The Grape and Grain
Reviewed By Mark O
We visited the Grape and Grain with a large group this week. The former Tramore inn has been superbly transformed into a stylish restaurant. The garlic prawn starter was excellent. Quite a few had the monkfish and raved about this. The ravioli was a little dissapointing and maybe just the wrong choice off the menu. Beef wellington looked great but a little bit too well done for our friend. Staff was absolutely first class. We didnât go for dessert but the French and Irish coffees were a very decent alternative. Well worth visit and fair play to all involved here. Mark.

So glad to see this little gem opened again. Tucked up on the caravan park in downings this restaurant has quickly become one of our local favourites with beautiful fresh food, great service, fantastic family atmosphere and on a sunny day an amazing place to sit on the balcony and have a beer!!Very reasonable prices too, definitely will be here as much as possible this summer!

We were staying in Carrigart for the weekend and booked a table because it was recommended. We weren't disappointed. Mackerel pate to start. Fabulous. Slow cooked featherblade of beef, mash, veg and gravy. All bursting with flavour.Wife had plump succulent mussels to start followed by whole lobster. Also fantastic. Scraggy Bay IPA on draught and a bottle of picpoul from a very good wine list. What a meal.We then went out to the outer bar where there was an acoustic duo playing and stayed there for the rest of the night.Casual dining doesn't get better than this.

Visited the singing pub after great reviews of read and we were not disappointed. It was our wedding anniversary. We arrived only 5 mins before our 7.30 booking but I fancied a Guinness before the meal and wait sraff Just said no panic come in when ready and we'll get you seated. Very busy for a Wednesday night....all but one small table taken. We had a brie starter between us which was lovely. Service in general was very quick and wait staff were very down to earth and accommodating! My wife had surf and turf for mains. The fillet of steak came out on a hot stone do you could cut it and cook a bit longer if you wished (comes out close to rare). The fish was in a scallop ahell which she loved especiaĺly with the cheese sauce over it. Not often my wife is speechless! I had one of the seafood platters again very nice great portions and you certainly don't leave hungry ! Had another pint each prior to dinner and then shared a bottle of red. We continued to have a few drinks the the bar afterwards. Lovely atmosphere great live music (not too load) and taxi home for 12.30. Highly recommend. All food including wine and couple of pints came too c95 euro....which is very reasonable !
