The best restaurants

22/08/2025: shocking standards Since they closing down, raw chips , chicken burger dead dry and black inside meet , chicken wings black inside absolutely disgusting

10/08/2025: Visited Route Fourteen with my family for lunch. The food was great, the dining area was spacious, but I have a few points I hope can be considered to improve the service. There were two lunch menus on our visit: one standard lunch menu (same as website) and one specific for the day or week. We ordered from the second menu since they seemed seasonal and more fresh than the regular menu. The prices were similar to other gastropubs around Cork City. I ordered pork belly with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The pork was stuffed with walnuts and dates, a stuffing I would have never thought would taste so nice with pork. Other dishes we had were the "Smash Burger" and Reuben sandwich. We ordered chicken wings with buffalo sauce for starters. Everybody enjoyed their orders but the beef in the Reuben would be better if it was not heated much. For dessert we had a mango and raspberry cheesecake and lemon meringue. Both were presented nicely and tasted amazing. They are best eaten between two people as they are large desserts. We were seated at a bright high table by the window, however we were near a large private booking and I felt a bit under pressure as the staff were setting the tables around us for the arriving diners. Given that the venue was not busy when we arrived, I would have preferred sitting further away from the large group booking. I would highly recommend visiting Route Fourteen on your next day out for lunch or dinner at a gastropub.

20/06/2026: Only there for an event but beautiful location and amazing finger food. Pulled pork was omg!

12/05/2026: Our wedding day at this stunning country house hotel was nothing short of magnificent. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and wonderfully down‑to‑earth throughout the entire experience. Caroline is a fantastic manager. The venue itself feels like something lifted straight from a Jane Austen novel, full of charm and quiet grandeur. The grounds are beautifully kept and are picture‑perfect backdrops. Inside, the period‑style rooms and roaring fire create an atmosphere that is both cosy and timeless. The food was out of this world, and the service was truly second to none. Memories we will treasure forever.

09/09/2026: The service was disgraceful I ordered a Americano with oatmilk and a carrot cake slice I paid for it and told to take a seat 20 minutes later no sign of my coffee r cake there was 2 girls behind the counter chatting they were not busy I asked wher was my order and was told they forgot about it omg 😰they had the cheek to have a tip jar on the counter top i should have asked for my money back I definitely wil not be going there again don deacy

31/08/2026: Great food and professional staff

27/08/2026: I like coming here by bike for coffee and a chocolate brownie. They are delicious. I definitely need to try other items from the menu sometime. A huge plus of this place is the outdoor seating. Of course, it is sometimes hard to find an open table, but that is only because it is a popular spot. The staff is very friendly, and even though it gets quite busy, everything has always gone smoothly. For me, it is an ideal stop during a bike ride to Crosshaven.

25/08/2026: Just had a lovely lunch here,wide choice,generous portions,very tasty food.Patiend,friendly staff. Thank you

06/07/2026: Great pint of Guinness. Friendly staff. Nice decor. Lovely atmosphere.

27/07/2026: Best place to enjoy your brunch! Highly recommend the farmhouse chicken sourdough! There's both outdoor and indoor seating. Super friendly and warm staff. The barista is the sweetest and knows his coffee too well! By far the BEST coffee I had in Dublin. I also bought the coffee beans after chatting with the barista here. Must Visit!!

03/07/2026: Got a flat white there today and I can say with confidence, that is the worst coffee I have had in this town. Bitter, watery, and at a max, there was 150ml of liquid in there. Very disappointing.

07/09/2026: Great atmosphere, great service. Not a restaurant.

06/09/2026: Boring very clanish ...food is very basic

16/08/2026: I was attending a wedding in a nearby hotel and booked two nights, with a steak dinner which was 50 euro extra. I wasnt told the details of the dinner and when it came to it, I could only choose one side with my main, which I thought was mean, just make the dinner a dinner no extra payment, two sides, chips and veg, .... easy... I had to pay I think 5 euro for some carrots. kinda spoiled the experience, and also when I asked the waiter what was included he kept insisting it was a three course meal, starter , main and tea or coffee. when I asked again he said the same, and it wasn't until I asked to speak with a manager, I was told that desert was included. overall the hotel was fine, the Guinness on tap from the bar was almost undrinkable though, unusually bad!

09/06/2026: Great location in Gorey, and as a base for trips around Wexford. Just minutes from Courtown Harbour. Nice big room, water, tea and coffee in the room, third time visiting, nice pool, would come back, A+

22/08/2026: We ate here today, we had the Lobster roll and the beef burger, The Lobster roll was not great, it had more prawns in it than Lobster, and it had really cheap Marie rose sauce, which does not go very well with Lobster. The burger was ok. All in all, would not go back there, felt a little taken to the cleaners, as the price for just two meals and three drinks, one Aperol Spritz, white wine and a Fanta, which alone was 4.40 was extortionit. Over 80 euros. And to top it all off the waiter put his 10 per cent tip just to add the cherry on top. Unbelievable. We then went up the road to the bar called Finegan's and had some seafood chowder, which was a reasonable price.

16/08/2026: Service great, Patrick was amazing and all the staff were so friendly. Excellent food, highly recommended. Definitely going back, great experience

28/08/2026: I ordered delivery from them, and what an amazing choice! The food arrived hot, nicely packaged with great care, nothing to complain about. It was by far one of my best Brazilian delivery experiences.

24/08/2026: Pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, perfect service, thank you Reciel for your attention. I will return!

14/07/2026: Nice place for a Saturday evening meal and just down the road from my B and B

31/05/2026: A lovely place, tradtional pub setting. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Very clean, spotless I would say, including bathrooms. Fantastic food and a good choice on the menu. Staff very friendly. Food is fantastic. I had a beef dinner, nice portion of food, no mean servings here and piping hot, no cold food here. My wife had the chicken curry, gorgeous, she would have liked a little more rice but a small complaint really. She also had a couple of pints of Heineken, they looked gorgeous and she said they were lovely. Kids meals very good. My son with autism had roast beef (half portion) chips and gravy, he loved it and hoovered it up. The small kids had chicken goujons and chips and sausages and chips, both really good meals and everyone very happy going home. My only regret was I couldn't try a pint of Guinness, they looked like mothers milk.
