Set in the beautiful coastal village of Baltimore, West Cork, Dede at the Customs House is one of Ireland’s most distinctive destination restaurants.

Led by Chef Ahmet Dede, the restaurant brings together the best of local Irish seasonal produce with the flavours, warmth and heritage of Turkish cooking. The result is a dining experience that feels both deeply rooted in West Cork and completely unique — refined, personal and full of character.

Dede offers tasting menus for both lunch and dinner, with dishes shaped by the seasons, local availability and the kitchen’s Turkish-Irish inspiration. It is a restaurant for food lovers, special occasions and visitors who are willing to travel for something memorable.
