Quinlan's in Cork

Very cute little seafood restaurant with lovely staff and a good atmosphere. We had the seafood chowder and crab claw linguine special which were both very delicious and I would not hesitate to recommend. Spying on other plates I would try the scampi and onion rings next time! They looked amazing. We had an issue with our mussel dish and the staff were so wonderful about it and offered to replace it.

Great food and service. Very clean interior. Staff are very attentive.

The restaurant was almost full on a Sunday night which was a good sign - It’s clearly a very popular restaurant and had a good atmosphere with 70s ‘American diner’ vibes. The menus were comprehensive but dated in their appearance. The fish and wines were really excellent and the staff were friendly, helpful, professional and charming. Only disappointed by the dessert and mineral water - Bailey’s cheese cake - It wasn’t baked (The menu didn’t say that it was to be fair) but it was very sloppy. We also ordered a bottle of Ballygowan water (tap water had already provided in a carafe) but it wasn’t chilled as we anticipated it would be. We’d recommend going - the fish was wonderful, there’s a good choice of great wines (not all available) and the staff are great - just give the cheesecake a miss and ask for the water to be chilled.

Food not as great as it used to be Portions smaller and prices higher. Waitress was a delight as was the wine.

Couldnt recommend this place enough. Shout out to Oisin for 5 star service 👌

Quinlans had the best seafood I found in Ireland, but still not the best in an Irish bar. You make Guinness beer here, figure out how to make a beer batter! Service was good, atmosphere was good!

Tasty ! Wish for more vegan options

Doesn't let you book! Have to try and walk in after driving hours... Not that busy. Expensive for okay food. Mussels are dirty and left shells and rocks in the food/ pasta when included.

We made a reservation today and the waiter was able to move us into a cozy little booth by the front window. I ordered the seafood chowder as an appetizer and the grilled sea bass with seafood risotto at the same time. I was nervous about them coming out at the same time but they didn’t. About 10 minutes after I finished my appetizer the main course came out. Both were really hot and tasted amazing. Service was great and the food was also VERY good. Whoever made that seafood chowder isn’t paid enough money! Thanks again!

¡Increíble! Esta es una joya escondida. Hemos pasado por este restaurante en muchas ocasiones, sin saber lo que era hasta que nos dijeron que este era uno de los mejores restaurantes de mariscos de corcho. ¡Y sí lo es! Me animé a entrar debido al pez monje, pero decepcionado cuando leí que estaba en pan rallado panco, me hubiera encantado tenerlo en masa. ¡Tenía el pescado rebozado con patatas fritas, tres opciones de pescado, increíble! Los guisantes al curry, mushy también eran increíbles. Si el desastre comido para el desierto, nunca había tenido un desierto tan sabroso y suave. Definitivamente volveremos y habremos clasificado este restaurante como nuestro restaurante de mariscos para ir en Cork City!
