Portloe, International Restaurant Guide

“Wonderful views of the cliffs, beach and sea” help inspire fans to this boutique hotel dining room, which occupies a clifftop Georgian building on the Roseland Peninsula. Opinions on the operation were a little up-and-down this year, citing “slightly erratic service” or food that’s “OK but variable”; but on the plus side, serious concerns were absent and ratings remain healthy all-round.
