This little restaurant has become the best place to eat in mallow's town centre. The food is a mix of traditional irish and western dishes featuring fish, beef and vegetarian options all beatifully presented.
The small space is used brilliantly to create a romantic relaxed atmosphere.
The eraly bird menu features three courses and tea/coffee for just EUR22.50

Favorite Dish: My favourite dish has to be the goats chesse pastry with roast peppers and pine nuts, although i'm not vegetarian i still can't resist it, delicious!
