Starfish Cafe & Bistro

This far-flung corner of Ireland is blessed with some great produce, and restaurants that take pride in showcasing it. Victoria Massey's charming little restaurant right in the centre of Dunfanaghy village is one of them
Seats 28 (+ 6 in courtyard). Opening Times: Café Fri-Sun 9.30-5.30, also bistro in summer. MasterCard, Visa. abbreviations

This far-flung corner of Ireland is blessed with some great produce, and restaurants that take pride in showcasing it. Patrick and Sean McFadden's charming little café-restaurant right in the centre of Dunfanaghy village is one of them and, with its fresh blue frontage and relaxed seaside feel, it would be hard to resist having a peep inside when passing by.


Small but appealing, it has simple charm - and a reputation for giving freshness and quality at a fair price.


Whether you're having a full meal - some fresh local seafood for lunch, perhaps - or you're just dropping in for a treat from the in-house bakery and a cup of tea or coffee, everything is really tasty.


But it’s not all about the food here - the friendly staff and the buzz are also part of the charm at Starfish, along with the good value offered.
