A self-taught chef who’s been working in restaurants since she was twelve, Caitlin Ruth has taken a beautiful oceanside bar and turned it into a centre of culinary excllence, albeit a casual one where hair can comprehensively be let down. The Gubbeen Cheese & Pickled Red Onion Grilled Sandwich is yer’ only man at lunchtimes, while the a la carte finds Caitlin putting locally caught Brill, Ling, Hake and Monkfish to exemplary use.

Best Dish: Monkfish with Gilly’s Sprouting Broccoli, Hazelnuts, Pecorino and Anchovy & Tomato Dressing – €28.95
