    O'Shea's Bistro gives visitors an easy food option inside one of Cobh's landmark harbour hotels. It is useful because it is central, sheltered, close to the main waterfront sights, and attached to a hotel with real Queenstown-era character. Good when you want a dependable sit-down meal before or after the Titanic, Spike Island or harbour route.
