Commodore

Restaurant | "The Commodore "

Quote:
This is a small restaurant with a fisherman ambience - in the wooden walls you feel like you’re inside a big boat.

It’s located in front of the pier and offers a medium-sized menu with seafood dishes, steaks and vegetarian dishes.

The service is very friendly, fast, and flexible to meet your needs.

Smoking is not allowed in the restaurant.

Queenstone Museum

Attraction

Quote:
Queenstone Museum shows the evolution of the big ships and the way the Irish people used them to transport prisoners to Australia, immigrants to America or others.

There is a section for the Titanic and the Lusitania where you can see videos and read about the story of these two cruise ships.

The town of Cove was the last port of call of the Titanic before it began its journey in the Atlantic Ocean.

The admittance fee is 4 Euro per person and it’s a place you can't miss if you are in town.
