Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Lovely ambience, unique setting, soft music in background, staff very helpful and friendly. I ordered the monkfish, which was so tasty and would highly recommend the tiramisu for dessert. Overall, a must visit in Skibbereen.

We visited the Church Restaurant on the Saturday there was a group of 17 of us on a vintage car run. The restaurant is absolutely stunning with beautiful stained glass windows and chandeliers. The food was wonderful but the best part was chatting to the...waitress called Emma. She was so pleasant and so obliging thank you so much Emma we had a wonderful time and we will be back againMore

This evening we had dinner at the church restaurant in Skippereen. The atmosphere was filled with energy, noisy with tables of family and friends, laughing and having a wonderful time. The food was fantastic. The seasoning was just right the portions were good not too...much and very very well prepared. Afterwords we had the Jamison‘s and Bailey’s crème brûlée, it was magnificent. The restaurant is in Skibbereen ch it’s in an old church that was built in 1833 the food the atmosphere. The experience was unbelievable if you’re in Cork you must try this gem of a restaurant.More

Just back from a weekend in Skib and ate here 3 times, the food was faultless, service excellent and the building was restored beautifully. I would have no hesitation in eating here any time I was in West Cork.

Skib seemed empty.. walked into the Church - it was packed. Quickly met at the door and a table found. Had an egg noodle dish and was surprised and delighted it was so delicious. Staff seemed happy to be working there and despite the two...floors for the restaurant the order was taken and food arrived in good time.More

There is a menu for all times of day online, just Google church restaurant Skibbereen. There is also one on display outside as well. They don't change the menu very often but there are always daily specials.
