We prebooked (recommend that you do) for 4 on Saturday last. We know the area well so had no trouble finding the bar/restaurant but, be warned, it is quite out-of-the-way with very winding and narrow roads. The table was booked for 5.45 which was only one of 2 slots available. Nice old fashioned bar at the front but the square room behind it is a bit sparse with not very comfortable seating. However, I am being picky. We were taken to our table after having a drink in the 'square room' Starters of goats cheese, prawns were delicious. Unfortunately they were unable to arrange a gluten free version for one coeliac guest who had to make do with a Caeser salad instead. The starters were excellent, despite this. Mains of sea trout, sea bass and bonefish were superb. The sirloin steak for the other guest was HUGE! and excellent. Good wind choice too. Unfortunately I was the designated driver so couldn't indulge in the array of guns on offer. Oh well, definitely on another occasion as I feel we will be back soon. Perfect

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 !

Called there Sunday 5th June '16 whilst staying in the village. We were made very welcome by the staff and offered a table in the lounge area of the new clubhouse. A young barman gave us menus and took our drinks order. There was a good selection of dishes available and the prices were very reasonable. I opted for the steak sandwich which came with a side order of chips and my partner picked the catch of the day. Both arrived without a long wait, nicely presented. The steak sandwich was slices of meat in a ciabatta roll & a salad serving. The catch of the day came as two pieces of fresh cod in a crispy batter on a bed of hot chips and mushy peas. The quality of both meals was excellent and the staff were very pleasant.Overall we'd definitely eat there again on our next visit. For quality and price, you'll not find anything to compare it with.

We used to eat regularly in this restaurant and was very annoyed when we heard that this had closed. What a surprise to see someone have the foresight to invest in the decor and bring in two great chefs that produce the most delightful fresh food. This is a fish lovers dream - the scampi was the best I think Iâve ever tasted the wife got a steak which was cooked to perfection. Please give this a try you wonât be disappointed.

The restaurant is not very welcoming and looks like it needs decorating and freshening up. The staff weren't very friendly and if we hadn't been so hungry we probably would have went elsewhere. The chicken madras wasn't great due to a lack of chicken.. we went on the recommendation of others but I think that most of the other places I've eaten in dunfanaghy were superior.

Cafe Arnou is my âgo tooâ cafe/bistro in Dunfanaghy. The service and food is consistently good and healthy options are aplenty. Shannon, Evelyn, Kayleigh....all of them, are consistently good and have a great sense of humour which adds to the ambience of the Cafe. The decor perhaps needs a little âfaceliftâ but itâs appeal is nonetheless undeniable.

Have eaten several times at the Mill. On this occasion we stayed overnight and had dinner with some friends. As usual the location is stunning beside the âNewâ lake. The rooms are well appointed and spacious with all the facilities that you would want including complementary drinks. The Mill has a wine licence therefore no spirits.The meal we had was not up to their usual standard. Both my friend and myself ordered a rare fillet which came over done. However, the ladies had fish which were perfect. In the morning, breakfast had a good menu with lots of options including some local fare. I had an omlette which again was overdone and as a consequence ârubberyâ but tasty.Despite these reservations would highly recommend.
