Top quality ingredients, sourced locally and cooked to perfection, has been the secret to the Kingfisher Bistro success. Owned and run by Mark and Claire Woods at the Darcy Mc Gee Courtyard in Dundalk Street, Carlingford, Co Louth, Kingfisher Bistro is a real gem. After 15 years in business the restaurant has gathered a terrific following and although small, seating 42, it packs a mighty punch. The variety Mark can create in his kitchen works perfectly with Claire's flawless service management. The brother/sister team are widely praised for producing what many regard as the most exciting food in the area.

Something special is in the making… 🥩🤎

A little behind-the-scenes look at the preparation of our beef brisket.

Fresh ingredients, plenty of flavour and lots of love going into every step.

The finished result is still to come… but we promise it’ll be worth the wait! 🤤

Join us this weekend and taste it for yourself 🍽️

John Dory, cooked to perfection. ✨🐟
Pan-seared until beautifully golden, served with crispy baby potatoes, a rich, hearty cassoulet, finished with a vibrant herb oil. Fresh, comforting and full of flavour.

A plate that lets great ingredients do the talking 🌿

Meanwhile, in every group chat in Carlingford… 😂

“What are we doing tonight?”
“I don’t mind.”
“Whatever suits.”
“Anyone actually going to make a decision?” 👀

Good food. No cooking. No dishes. Excellent life choices ❤️
