Menu

On this site, you will find the complete menu of L'escale from Schull. Currently, there are 29 dishes and drinks available.

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.

Fabulous one of the best meals I’ve ever had very French style I had fresh salmon and chips cooked to perfection followed by a beautiful crepe two others had the tuna and one other scampi all very very good can’t wait to go back View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about L'escale:
Recent visit there , Beside the grumpy owner or manager not sure which he was, food was good but expensive. But in this day and age it is ridiculous that they only take cash , so I had to go back up to the ATM on the Main Street!!!!!!!!!! Not doing themselves any favours…. View all feedback.

I'm not one to read a review let alone even write a review but my god was this the most ignorant man I ever met in my life. He is running a business but treats his customers like dogs. I'm not in the boating community I was only passing trade with my family, I was friendly with him but he treated me like a pig, when I called him up on his manners (after I got my average food) he just shrugged. Would never darken the door again and would highly advise to stay away. Manners maketh the man, it costs no time, money nor effort. And if he charges €50 for a burger and fish and chips with scallops then he may find himself looking for work elsewhere someday. Stay away,I had to relog into an old account just to have this say!!!

This is a fish restaurant. The fish is good.....everything else isn't. Go back to basics.....serve good quality fish with a nice fresh salad and you won't fail. Nobody wants to eat stodgy batter, and bad quality chips. On the positive side, the owner is a character.....think Basil from Fawlty Towers!!!

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.
