Description

Guests have varying experiences at this harbor restaurant, ranging from positive to negative. A common theme is the high food prices and the fact that the establishment only accepts cash as payment, which inconveniences customers. Dishes like crab salad and scampi receive mixed reviews in terms of quality and value for money. Some visitors appreciate the French owner's commitment to offering a diverse seafood menu, while others criticize the service and food quality, reporting negative incidents like food poisoning. The outdoor dining area with a view of the harbor adds charm for some, but overall, the restaurant receives a mix of positive and negative feedback.

Located in the lively Schull harbour, L'escale serves outstanding food. The fresh fish is expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The French owner takes a straightforward approach to his dishes, reflected throughout the menu. I highly recommend dining at L'escale.

The fish and chips at L'escale are excellent. Make sure to arrive early in the evening to secure a table and explore their menu.

I’m just replying to an old comment about L'escale. Apologies, but I was present when you lost your temper with the staff and were refunded the €7.50 for your burger. Additionally, the chicken burger is clearly listed in the children's menu. You were very rude to the staff and even threatened them, and you also threw food at the cashier.

Excellent lobster and crab salad.

Super pier views from picnic seating area outside. The two main people taking orders and serving behind the counter were sour, rude, both had very poor customer service skills. Food is over priced and the chips and pizza's are very poor we got plastic boxes of small crisps over fried bits called chips. Will avoid this place nxt time I'm in Schull. Reckon with a little effort this place could be a great!!
