Amongst the restaurants and eateries in this town made famous by the legend of Dracula is Finley's a relaxed cafe bar with sofas, the specialities include gourmet sandwiches, pasta, nachos and fish cakes. It's a relatively reasonably priced place for what it offers. Another relative cheap eatery is the Grapevine, a funky place offering dinner only tapas style meals. Please note the Grapevine is closed on Sunday's and Monday's.

One of the leading restaurant's in the town is Green's a very relaxed but stylish establishment offering contemporary flavours.
