Kalbo's

Kalbo's is a buzzy, successful bistro in Skibbereen, in West Cork, which hoovers up all of the local trade thanks to some smart, fun cooking; good potato skins with chili; bruschetta with roasted peppers and cheese; good chunky steaks and home-made burgers; fine desserts such as autumn fruit meringue soufflé.

The breads, in particular, are noteworthy, and fortunately they sell them to the punters in the nice little Kalbo's deli, right across the road from the bistro. The pesto white loaf is good, and the focaccia is particularly well accomplished. Eat it in the bistro, then buy some to take home with you. Well, that's what we did anyhow...
