    Will be leaving the city and looking to spend the day in Co. Cork.

    Don't really know any of the county. Looking for somewhere nice and scenic to go for the day, then somewhere nice to stay at night with good food etc.

    So I'm open to anywhere in the county really!

    I second Clonakilty- pop into the Sugán pub for a bite- it's lovely and very reasonably priced. I'd also recommend heading to Baltimore and getting a boat out to the islands if the weather's any way good.

    What is it about the Siugan? People either love it or like me think its very average and overrated. I live in clon so ive eaten there loads of times and never been wowed. Would prefer richys or the malthouse within town or for fish deasys just out of town or poachers inn in bandon.

    I love it :P Restaurants in Clonakilty tend to be overpriced, but there are also some good options in Union Hall

    On the whole I wouldnt think they are overpriced (except inchadoney and maybe dunmore) but then id know what times the early bird menus finish etc but I would consider the siugan to be one of the worst - some lunch items are priced on the menu without including chips or whatever.

    That's the difference between being a local and being a casual visitor like the OP. Personally, I love the atmosphere and food in the suigan.

    Like the earlier poster, I don't see the attraction of the Sugan at all, prices are reasonable but the food is only very average and the service was dire the last time I was there. I'd definitely go for the Malthouse, Richy's or Inchydoney bar (especially their fantastic seafood spagetti).
