Black cat did not disappoint in any way. A beautiful intimate setting in a period building in salthill . The staff were friendly and attentive but not overly so. The food was outstanding. So much so we ordered most of the menu!! Perfectly cooked and very well presented and a taste sensation hard off to the chefs. Also very reasonably priced for the quality. It’s the perfect place to meet family or friends or as we had a very nice romantic date night . Myself and my partner both agreed it’s the best tapas we have ever had in Ireland. Do yourself a favor and book a table 😊

Guest reviews
Black Cat averages 4.6 out of 5 across 638 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Great little restaurant - I had the Black Cat pasta and it was fantastic. Lots of seafood and very fresh. I highly recommend it, our table also had the friendly farmer breast of chicken and the fish and chips and all were really good. The prices are reasonable and portions are filling.
My wife and I had a lovely meal here. Every one of our tapas were lovely. Wine was nice and the staff were very nice too. Id recommend Black cat without hesitation for a nice dining experience.
