A Landmark for Great Food
Mannings’s Emporium
Between Glengarriff and Bantry is Ballylickey, while there be sure to stop off at Manning’s Emporium and try some of the famous and delicious dishes.
The restaurant is family-run and was originally established in 1946 by Mr and Mrs Manning who started off by supplying businesses with milk, cream and butter.
Locals couldn’t get enough of their produce, and wanted to buy their own, so Manning’s was born!
An award-winning spot for locally-sourced food.
