My mother and I ate at Aherne's in 2006. We still revist our thoughts about how wonderful the food was. I would place their food in my top two meals of my lifetime. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is courteous. I asked my husband today if traveling five-thousand miles was too far to have a good meal. More

We stayed over night and got the family room which was very spacious for 2 adults and 3 children. Breakfast the next morning was delious. We are certainly looking forward to... More

We thoroughly enjoyed the freshness of the fish dishes we ate at Aherne's. For starters, the crab claws and king prawns were particularly delicious. I chose the cod because it came with my fave Irish potato dish - champ. The fish, sauce and veggies were exquisite. My hubbie enjoyed his rock oysters (with Murphys) and turbot. The restaurant's home baked... More

Having stayed at Aherne's Townhouse twice, I've barely any negatives about my stay. The bedrooms are massive and very comfortable, the staff are delightful and the food is absolutely delicious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Youghal, which is also a delightful city just off Cork. More

We went on a fantastic long walk for miles along the seashore and ended up in Ahern's seafood restaurant absolutely starving. This restaurant has been here for a very long time and is supposed to have wonderful food. This unfortunately was not my experience. I love fish and my favourite type is cold on great brown bread. We were served... More
