If ever you find yourself, tired and (most importantly) hungry after a particularly long week at work, we suggest you make your way to The President Hotel in Bantry Bay. Walk through the hotel doors, find a sunny poolside spot, order a mojito and peruse the kitchen’s shiny new summer menu.

Islands Restaurant gives you the opportunity to relax and dine in the most stylish of local venues. Delight in a gourmet meal prepared for you by the supremely talented Chef Craig Paterson. Paterson has cooked for football legends, Manchester United, the queen of all pop stars, Miss Celine Dion and the Prince of Denmark – just to name a few.

And if that doesn’t get you on the phone to reserve a table, the food definitely will.
