The menu changes like the sea views.

So it’s no surprise to fans that Ballycotton’s Cush has been added to the Michelin Guide to ‘The Best Seafood Restaurants in the Republic of Ireland.’

The news comes after the foodie bolthole, named after an old pathway that stretched along the cliff in Ballycotton, was awarded a prestigious Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide for the first time in 2022, highlighting restaurants offering good food at competitive prices.

In its listing, the Michelin Guide states: “When you own a restaurant overlooking Ballycotton harbour, it stands to reason that you’ll serve fresh seafood right off the boat.

“The team at Cush do not disappoint, with plenty of fish and shellfish popping up across their menus. Dishes like grilled fish of the day with wild garlic and smoked bacon chowder show off the kitchen’s skills in allowing their top-notch ingredients to shine.

“Add a small bar and some cosy sea-view bedrooms into the picture, and you have the makings of your next ‘happy place’.”

Chef Dan Geurin said the team was “absolutely honoured” to again be recognised by the Michelin Guide.

“We were on top of the world last year when we were awarded a Bib Gourmand and this latest news yet again cements our standing as one of the finest restaurants in Munster, and indeed Ireland,” he said.

“We’re especially proud of the fact that we were singled out for our seafood offering, as we always make sure our guests are treated to the best quality food from the ocean, caught right off the coast of where we’re based in Ballycotton.”
