A company I'm involved with had a celebration dinner for the volunteers and staff in deFaoite restaurant. We were a large group (25) and they easily accommodated us.
The food was absolutely top class, the service was attentive and everyone of us had a smile on our face after a great night out there.
I would highly recommend it.

What recent reviewers mention most:
Friendly staffTasty foodGenerous portions
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience in De Faoite's. Each food course was amazing. We were a party of five, with each of us ordering the steak, with it cooked to perfection for all of our liking. Would highly recommend this fabulous fine dining experience.
Went for dinner last night with my husband and another couple. The food is absolutely outstanding. I have visited a few times and always enjoyed. On each visit there is always something new on the menu which I love to see. The hardest thing is that you are spoilt for choice as everything is delicious. My advice if booking Is definitely go hungry as the portions are really generous and there are no shortage of sides. Fresh bread, beautiful starters, amazing mains and deserts that are hard to resist. 5 stars without question. The service was also fantastic. Friendly capable staff. Will definitely revisit.
