Market Lane in Cork

I LOVE that they use everything from Cork (or at least nearby). There is an information log in the back that tells you where everything is sourced, which was so fun to see after a visit to The English Market. Delicious meal, although the chicken breast was a teeny bit dry. Otherwise, was great!

We went to Market Lane to try the Cross Gun beer made by the brewer Vitor, and honestly we are not saying this because we are friends with him. The beer was truly incredible. The food was exceptional as well. We ordered the pork with cabbage, and I have never had cabbage with mash that tasted so good. There was also a carrot mash that was absolutely delicious. I have never had such an enjoyable gastronomic experience. Everything was one hundred percent perfect and we will definitely be back.

We chose Market Lane for a post‑UCC graduation lunch, and it was the perfect spot. The staff were welcoming, attentive and genuinely added to the occasion. The food was delicious, generous in portion and enjoyed by everyone. The relaxed atmosphere made the whole experience even better. A big thank you to the team for their professional, friendly support throughout — you helped make the day special.

Always top notch food and service at Market Lane. We had a lunchtime booking for celebrating my conferring, and from start to finish we were well looked after by our server Daniel and the other members of staff. The menu is diverse and there’s plenty of options, something for everyone. I had the fish curry and it was delicious, along with the bread and butter pudding with hot custard for dessert. The cocktails are also lovely here, particularly the Bohemian Raspberry. I would highly recommend this restaurant as we have been here many times, the atmosphere is always nice and it has never disappointed.

Service and food is always consistently excellent here 👌👌

Absolutely amazing experience! Lunch and desert with lemonade was superb. Definitely visiting again!

Such lovely staff, great ambience and decor, phenomenal food - couldn’t ask for more

Great staff and very accommodating with bookings 😀 The food is amazing and the drinks menu come with a great selection!

I opted for 2 starters French onion soup and then the cheese tartlet which were both excellent. the men ordered the bacon collar dish and unfortunately the cabbage was cold. The restaurant replaced them and only charged us half price. The bacon was so delicious.

Great food , full of flavours. Portion sizes are perfect. Lovely atmosphere here and the setup is brilliant. Spotlessly clean. Staff were great as well. First time here but definitely not my last time
