Blackrock Cottage

 

About Us

The beautiful Blackrock Cottage, a famine-era cottage which was built in the 1800s, has been brought back to life and has established an impressive reputation since opening its doors for business 14 months ago.

It was bought in 2018 by the McHugh Property Holdings Group and the project took 18 months to complete during the Covid pandemic.

The brainchild of Brían McHugh of the MPH Group, the finished design that you see today marries the old with the new; the restored Cottage complemented by a new light-filled modern extension.

The Cottage stands in an iconic Galway location at the end of the Salthill Promenade and has been winning rave reviews from customers and food critics alike.

The popular menu has been created by executive head chef, Martin O’Donnell, who won two prestigious awards in 2023 — ‘Best Newcomer in Ireland’ at the Restaurant Association of Ireland awards and ‘Best Chef in Connacht’ at the Food and Wine Restaurant of the Year awards.

Martin describes his unique menu as ‘traditional dishes with a contemporary modern twist’.

He uses top-class local producers that he has built a good working relationship with over many years in the industry.

The Cottage’s General Manager, Mathieu Teulier, is also an experienced Sommelier and has developed an extensive array of wines for patrons to choose from.

Blackrock Cottage became one of the most popular restaurants in Galway in 2023, and has ambitious plans to be even bigger and better in 2024.

Breakfast and lunch is served from 8am to 5pm for walk-ins only, while dinner can be booked from Thursday to Sunday from 6pm.

The arrival of Blackrock Cottage Pantry in December is the beginning of another chapter.

The fine food store is located on the site of the former Spinnaker Hotel in Knocknacarra and is already proving to be very popular with the residents of the area.
