Izz Cafe in Cork

25/09/2026: With all sincerity, the single best dinning experience of my life! My wife and I traveled to Ireland for our honeymoon and we reserved a table a month in advance. Best reservation we've ever made! The staff are beyond friendly and very quick to assist you with menu recommendations and explanations. The drink selection is very wide but I couldn't stop ordering the Jawbone pale ale, my wife got the palomino wine. We ordered in order of course; The "shiso & seaweed potato crisps, cuinneog ranch" -the "oak smoked mackerel, vindaloo spices, raita & pickled cucumber" - the "pan roasted halibut, sprouting broccoli, chicken and miso butter sauce" and for the wife "pan roasted cod, caramelized chicory chutney, cafe de paris butter" and lasty -the "caramelized white chocolate, kinsale sea salt milk sorbet, buckwheat" and "sangria sorbet." Each course is brought to you individually and each one more delicious than the previous. Everything single plate was beautifully presented and just as tasty as it looks! Absolutely unforgettable experience and could not recommend enough.

23/09/2026: I’ve wanted to come here for a while and it definitely lived up to the expectations. We made an early reservation, which made for such a relaxed experience, and honestly, I have no notes. A must-visit when in Cork! Everything we had was amazing, but the plaice with chicken & miso butter was a standout, as were the oysters with cucumber and kimchi mignonette. Every dish was so thoughtfully done and full of flavour. The service was brilliant too really attentive without being overbearing. We could also see into the kitchen, which was lovely as you could see how calm and relaxed the chefs were while still being so meticulous with every dish. An all-round fantastic meal and experience. Couldn’t recommend it enough!
