The Cottage Restaurant

Nice little restaurant. Service was great all round.
First course pâté was the best I've had in a long time. The scallops were perfectly cooked, went well with everything else on the plate, and the roe was left on (ideal).
The lamb pastry and the crispy coconut rice dishes were very nice. The inconsistency in the size of the garnish on the rice was a bit weird though and felt unfitting.
Halibut dish was alright. Every element of the dish was amazing, except for the halibut itself. Just a bit plain and a bit overcooked for me.
Guinea fowl was lovely.
Poached pear dessert was amazing. The baked Alaska was world class.
Good portion sizes.
I see myself returning

Incredible value at 60e. The food was all top class. The service was great & friendly. The interior is small with limited seating (I think 25-30 seats) with a lovely ambience. There's room for bigger groups but seems to work well for 2-6 sizes. The attention-to-detail is excellent from food to style to service. There's plenty of free street parking outside. The restaurant is a bit in the middle of nowhere so driving or a taxi (or cycling) would be the more appropriate forms of getting to this gem. I'd love to go back if I'm ever in Leitrim/Roscommon again. This is a must for any visitor to the area.

€40 per person is a good price for the 3 courses and tea or coffee. Amazing choice of starters I had the goatsbridge smoked trout . The sirloin of beef 🥩 was the best I have ever tasted. The dessert trolley is amazing. Service is exceptional food is amazing 🤩 parking is free .
