The best restaurants

24/04/2025: Nice but expensive was much better before

26/01/2025: Came across this cafe a couple years back while taking a detour behind the Granary and I have always been pleased with Cafe Bolty. Gorgeous atmosphere, pleasant staff and the hot chocolate is delicious Long due another trip in, I can't wait Cafe Bolty is absolutely underappreciated

30/05/2026: Jesus I was in some rough dirty places in my time but I have to say this gets a gold star, which is unfortunate considering its location if it was in the right hands , toilets manky bar manky exterior manky. A good paint job a serious clean up and you could be onto something.

15/07/2024: It's not called Dunnes bar any more it's called the thunderbar and it's great spot Guinness to die for and a real country pub place to reminisce. And talk about the good old times.

17/07/2026: Found this little gem... family run great food.great value. food is top quality.portions big.keep doing what your doing would definitely recommend

30/06/2026: Fantastic food and super friendly staff

19/07/2026: I visited around 3pm expecting a proper restaurant experience, but it felt more like a cafeteria than a restaurant. There's a menu, but in practice you go up to the counter and tell them what you'd like, and they serve it onto your plate. I had the corned beef with gravy, mashed potato, half a baked potato, and cabbage. Unfortunately, none of it had much flavour — the potatoes (both kinds, which felt redundant) were bland, the cabbage was cold and equally flavourless, and the gravy was overly salty. A large portion is almost €19, with a smaller "proportion" option at €13, which felt steep for the quality. The setting itself is lovely, with a great view over the sea, so I'd recommend coming for a pint and the scenery rather than for the food.

08/06/2026: Stopped for lunch before our hike. Such a beautiful view from the terrace! Great service and lunch!

28/05/2024: Very colorful little town, very sloping. Often lively. Unmissable passage when you pass near Cork.

18/02/2024: Definitely a must visit if you are in Cork. It’s a lovely destination with one of the stops (the only stop) in Ireland for the titanic which is absolutely amazing

29/08/2026: We had dinner at the Munster Room twice during our stay at Waterford Castle and really, really enjoyed it. Both evenings we tried different dishes and everything was delicious. Very good food, beautiful atmosphere and excellent service. And I have to mention the flambé pancakes — absolutely amazing! 😄 Honestly, one of my favourite things we had there. Really, really good. Overall, a great restaurant and a very pleasant surprise. We enjoyed both dinners and would definitely come back. Highly recommend if you are staying at Waterford Castle or even if you are somewhere nearby. Verdict: definitely worth it. And try the flambé pancakes!
