Reviews

Building looks impressive as you walk up to it through the courtyard. Food is delicious and presented well. One key thing letting it down is the fact you have to go outside to use the toilet. That may be okay with good weather but would be very off putting when cold and wet.

My mum and I happened upon this lovely restaurant by chance and were so delighted with the experience - the food was exquisite and the staff were lovely! Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone

Great place, I really visited the same restaurant twice, but King Fisher in Carlingford is exceptional. Great foot, verity of choices, 5 stars service, and wonderful atmosphere. Thanks to today's chief and staff, Clare & Kate, and other staff. My advice is, don't say you visited Carlingford if you didn't test kingfisher Seafood and live the experience.

If you find yourself in Carlingford for a night , or the weekend, and are looking for somewhere to have a nice sit down meals away from some of the chaos of the pubs in town, look no further, the food here was delicious, the staff were great and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommended

The best place to eat in Carlingford. Exceptional food and first class service. Great friendly atmosphere and the restaurant was buzzing on a Saturday night. A must if visiting Carlingford
