Food Scene
A bit expensive but you get the full service being waited on here. It’s a real treat to eat out here. The food is also as the name suggests very tasty however some may find the portions small.

So Good Restaurant
2 Dunkellin Street This place serves good food at a reasonable price.
Love this place, its kind of a tapas restaurant/coffee shop, I usually go for the goats cheese tartlet, pork belly and chocolate brownie when I’m here. One word scrumptuous! Opens late fri/sat nights. You can also bring your own wine, so it makes for a cheap night out :-)
