2024 Award Winners SEAFOOD RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR 2024

QC's Seafood Restaurant, Quinlan & Cooke Boutique Townhouse, Caherciveen, Co Kerry

With its welcoming fire, striking modern zinc-topped bar and nautical antiques and pictures, Kate Cooke’s atmospheric bar and restaurant with rooms abounds with character. A favourite Kerry destination for many seasons, the ultra fresh local fish and seafood served in the restaurant is supplied directly by the family company Quinlan’s Kerry Fish, nearby at Renard’s Point – a thriving family business that expanded into fish shops (including one just across the road) and seafood bars in 2000, they’ve also sold their own premium smoked salmon worldwide for many years. Very much part of the local community, QC’s Seafood Restaurant is known for its warmth and style as much as the good cooking and - thanks to the imaginative developments undertaken over the years by Kate and her late husband, Andrew - it is now equally sought out for its splendidly spacious and quirkily stylish townhouse accommodation. A place where the comfort and enjoyment of guests comes first, it’s no wonder that QCs is an enduring local favourite – and top of the must-visit list for so many visitors to Kerry.
