The best restaurants in Cork

13/09/2026: Lovely spot, lovely food, lovely people.

09/09/2026: Nice place and the stuff was very helpful and overall great experience

15/09/2026: The tastiest meal I've had in a long time! I think I could eat everything on the menu! The sweet potato was a side dish, but it almost beat the rest, it was that good!

28/08/2026: Excellent food, sevice and setting. The starter bisque was the nicest soup I've ever had and the sole for mains was perfect. Cant wait to go back.

11/10/2026: Went with a group of 6. Food was very very good. Small restaurant, so I would book in advance. A nice selection of whiskeys (could/should be more due to its proximity to the nearby distillery). I thought it would be a lot more expensive than it was.

09/10/2026: My favourite place to eat in midleton. They always have your dinner nicely presented and I always leave full. All the staff are great, very friendly, helpful and would do anything for you while your with them. Keep up the good work guys 👍

30/07/2026: Oh my goodness this place is so neat! Just imagine this: a perfect cozy inn nestled in a picturesque Irish village with the best desserts! The staff were so kind and very attentive! We both stayed at the inn and had lunch and dinner there! The rooms were cozy, clean, and comfortable - even my son, Gene, got a great night’s sleep, and let’s just say he’s “a little” particular about his sleeping set up (HAH! 🤣). No complaints from anyone in our family! I’d definitely recommend staying in the inn if you can, but the restaurant is a MUST!! The food was a delight! My kiddo, Louise, got the quiche of the day for lunch - it was salami and goat cheese and she said she loved it! And they gave her a huge piece - it was like a fifth of a big quiche! My hubby got the sandwich and he said it was as good if not better than one of mine - and that’s a high bar to clear (if I do say so myself 😉). The main food was all delightful, but if you only have room for one bite, get dessert first. OH. MY. GAWD. the desserts are D-I-V-I-N-E: DIVINE 🤩. My daughter, Tina, scoped it out before ordering lunch and came back and told us she ordered dessert already. I started to ask if she was joking when the wait staff brought over not one, not two, but THREE AMAZING desserts: I guess my teeny Tina couldn’t wait and got the coffee square, the tiramisu, and the carrot cake. My hubby LOVES carrot cake, but it had walnuts in it so I had to personally abstain for allergy reasons, but he is STILL raving about it, and let’s just say he’s hard to impress (HAH! 🤣). Seriously, though, these desserts were AMAZING! The tiramisu was PERFECT! It was just sweet enough with excellent coffee flavor. I mean, heck, there was enough espresso in there I felt like I hadn’t even drunken my margarita after! Oh, it was SO good! This momma bear 🐻 LOOOVES tiramisu, but I’ve got to admit, the coffee square was my favorite! The cake was moist and baked perfectly. And, oh, the icing! It was very sweet, but momma’s got a sweet tooth! It was caramelly and perfect. It was so good I got a second piece to go for a midnight snack! Ugh, I’m going to miss those desserts. I have GOT to shout out the baker behind the magic: Breda! We asked and she works there and found out she makes all of these slices of heaven routinely. Breda, you go girl! You’ve got one (excuse my language 🤭) HECK of a talent 🫶🤩!

25/06/2026: One of the best fish and chips I've had with great seating and a beautiful view. Staff are friendly and the desserts are incredible

09/10/2026: I love getting my deliveries from Organico,its like opening a present! Beautifully packaged and accurate to my order, its so hard to decide what to choose as there's such variety. People of Bantry you are so lucky! Thank you 🙂

09/10/2026: The food delivery option is really excellent. I am at home sick and was able to send myself my own care package of yummy warming flavours and treats. Everything was so carefully wrapped too. It really did feel like opening a care package!

04/09/2026: Nice breakfast but be prepared to wait for a seat and Coffee not geat

15/08/2026: We ate brunch, Turkish eggs, and other things too. Well, it wasn't bad. That's all for now, bye everyone!

22/09/2026: We had an excellent meal here. The food was outstanding, the aubergine particularly tasty. The service and atmosphere was superb, we detoured our trip to go to this restaurant and it was well worth it!

15/09/2026: Absolutely delicious. We came for the Sunday plates and loved it. The kitchen were very accomodating of one of the guests on our table who was gluten free. The fresh ingredients were honoured and the wines by the glass selection great.

28/09/2026: Great food. The desserts/sweet treats are amazing! The owner is very helpful and friendly. One of my top favourite places to eat in west cork for lunch.

03/09/2026: The lovliest cosiest place ever. Great customer service, beautiful books, delicious food. Was very grateful to have found a vegan place in west cork, and one that’s so good! I had the sandwich and the blueberry cake. Would come back to Skibbereen purely to come here again.

11/09/2026: It's my 4th year staying here in a row. I'm down in Bandon to take part in the cancer charity fundraising event at the nearby airsoft site Absolute Airsoft. The food in the bar and restaurant area speaks volumes about the care a attention from the chief and kitchen staff. The bar staff as always friendly and know their way round the bar and how to pour a good pint. The floor staff helpful and polite and very knowledgeable about what's on the menu if your looking for a recommendations of what to eat. The rooms are as always clean and well maintained. With a price per night not be beaten and 8 rooms, 4 single and 4 doubles. Highly recommended.

03/09/2026: Being a South London lad it was amusing to chat with a North London lass. All joking aside, everything was great and will definitely visit when back in Ireland.

15/08/2026: Great discovery. Gorgeous restaurant with really good menu. Seafood green curry was a knockout. Four of us went and were really impressed.

05/08/2026: First they forgot my order, and then they served me the tea in this tea pot … i don’t know when was the last time they washed it.
