I enjoyed a meal here with my parents and boyfriend on a sat evening. Staff were attentive and informative. Menu was good, but thought it was bizarre that the 3 special meals were all Fish, they could have done with a meat special. Starters were thai satay chicken and mussells to shares, Satay sauce was the best I have ever... More

Ate here tonight. Found the food to be fantastic and great value. We got the early bird two courses for €20. We were both very impressed, we'll definitely be back. More

This restaurant is a gem, a real find. We stumbled on it by chance. When we got there we were the only couple in the restaurant, in 5 minutes the place was full, however the service was still superb. We were unsure as to what one of the specials was but when we asked the waiter he brought along a... More

As I heard and read good reviews about this restaurant , I was looking forward to a nice meal but boy was I disappointed. Wild mushroom soup was lukewarm and didn't taste a mushroom. Beef Curry was not very appetising but meat was tender. The dessert was really the worst I have ever had. Banoffi creme brulee was the description... More

I am sorry you were disapointed with your meal at the restaurant. I can assure you that the wild mushrooms we use along with all of our produce is always perfectly fresh. The beef curry one of our signiture dish's is one of our most consistant and well recieved meals. I would also like to point out that at no... More

I visited Richy's last Saturday(14th) for my wife's birthday. We arrived at 7 15 and were swiftly presented with the menus and provided with a drink. Our orders were taken promptly and by 2005 we had enjoyed our starters and main courses, all of which were excellent. From this point on we appeared to become invisible. At 2030 I had... More

There are however, pagers on each of our tables for customers use if they feel they are not being properly... More

It is not easy to operate a restaurant in Clonakilty in the present financial climate so well done to Richy`s for the service. The layout and decor is superb as is the location- near the town centre. The food is first rate but samples were small, however service was good - there was no "pushing" of any kind and that... More

My husband and I wanted a good meal close to our B&B in Clonakilty after spending the day sightseeing. We walked around the main street and stumbled upon Richey's. Once inside and hearing about their Value Meal from our waiter, we both decided to order from that menu. My husband had the chicken and I, the salmon. The value meal... More

During a recent trip to Clonakilty, this was chosen as the restaurant to dine for the evening and I wasn't disappointed! It's a Fusion restaurant, serving an excellent variety on the menu, from Indian (I believe the owner is originally from Mauritius) to classic Irish food. We tried the local black pudding samosa for starters. For the majority of the... More

The retaurant has been changed and now half is a cafe and changes back into the restaurant around 5pm.... More
