After eight years of putting Ballydehob on the international dining map, Rob Krawczyk and Elaine Fleming at Restaurant Chestnut have decided to shake things up

12/05/2026

Today we wish to announce that after nine dinner season’s, this one will be our last as Restaurant Chestnut.

We are so incredibly proud of what we have created here. Opening our doors in March 2018, we could not have dreamt of what was to follow….

We invite you to join us & our incredible team, to celebrate & raise a glass with us over the next six months of dinner service. Reservations are now open up to & including October 30th 2026.

Our story is rooted here in West Cork and it is the place where our next chapter will begin. We will reveal our plans for what is to follow in time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your support to date - it has meant the world to us.

We look forward to welcoming you over the coming months to beautiful Ballydehob X
