The best restaurants in Cork

28/08/2025: My favorite restaurant in Kinsale. Service was amazing. They gave us food to try. Just an amazing place and experience

20/08/2025: Incredible! Everything was so fresh and delicious!

21/11/2025: Super nice waitress, who also welcomed us right away.

19/11/2025: Right, so Man Friday—absolute gem. Walked in and it felt like stepping into a cosy coastal hideaway, all soft lighting and that old-school charm. I kicked off with huge juicy oysters, followed by scampi that was golden, crisp, and downright addictive. The back sole? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. And fair play to the staff—Natalie had the whole thing running like clockwork, no fuss, just good vibes. €96 well spent, no regrets. If you’re in Kinsale and not eating here, you’re missing a trick.

28/10/2025: Lovely, welcoming place with excellent food! What a wonderful discovery!

25/10/2025: Fantastic Restaurant…. Beautiful ambience and great food - every time. Lovely staff..

27/09/2025: Best coffee in Kinsale. 100% recommend to visit and get a speciality coffee.

27/09/2025: We got a honey & chamomile matcha, and a Bee at the Sea iced latte. Both so delicious, such a lovely bright space and amazing staff!

16/11/2025: This is a gem worth travelling to. Excellent food. We had perfectly done chicken wings in the mouth watering house hot sauce, crispy pork belly in asian slaw, and breaded cauliflower florets with garlic and truffle mayo to start, then spectacular beef cheecks, mash, broccoli with wild mushroom sauce, and pappardelle squash basil sauce with parmesan. For desert a 'Wild' mess with a "unicorn tears" berry compote with fresh strawberries, and a decadent belgian chocolate hot sweet treat served with vanilla ice cream. We left more than satisfied. Well done and keep it up! Thank you.

28/10/2025: Fabulous restaurant, cosy and warm and friendly staff. Food is outstand

06/10/2025: A great place to shop with very friendly, professional and helpful staff. As someone who hates the hassle of shopping with a passion (I genuinely do) this place is just an absolute godsend to me. I've made two online orders over the past few weeks so far and both have been perfect. Both orders were meticulously packed, also a lovely personal touch with a nice message in both orders. I was worried about the cost to them as my second order was quite bulky with large items for delivery to Dublin, but it was not a problem. Really nice people to deal with and it's a genuine pleasure to shop there. Thank you.

03/10/2025: Everything you could want from a small family-run business. Mueslis and granolas are delicious with plenty to choose from. Buying in bulk saves money and ensures you have a good supply. Delivery is swift and packaging is excellent. It's the go-to site for all organic.

01/11/2025: Always the freshest fish cooked in a lite batter.

23/10/2025: Wonderful experience! So friendly and helpful along with beautiful haddock and chips. Breaded and fried to order and worth the few minutes wait. Highly recommend.

10/08/2025: 5 staff behind the bar more interested in talking to each other than serving customers. Then when we did get attention, they were extremely rude....certainly won't be back for the service

13/07/2025: I dunno what the heck is wrong with this place. I'm new to Cork, Clonakilty and Ireland in general and was denied entry simply because I was alone. Although I've never been in.... I'll certainly never be back. Head to GG's instead! These guys are funny as hell saying they were closing at 21:00. Lots of lads had said the "security" staff packing roofies. Didn't believe it until that night.

07/11/2025: Ferrit & Lee in Midleton, is now well established in the town. Ezcellent food, wide a varied menu, excellent range of wines and beer sold if you fancy being laid back. Food is excellent, while getting the portions sizes just right. You're not stuffed and you're nit wanting more. Starters and deserts can't be faulted either. Soft mood lighting, ezcellent service all in all a very nice dining experience.

26/10/2025: I feel really bad about this experience. The waiting staff were lovely, I had a beautiful welcome and impeccable service. However, this restaurant was not as expected. I ordered the Jameson marinated beef, and some garlic and onion fries to accompany. First off the bat, the portions are massive. My internal food cost alarm was going off. The beef came with enough roast potatoes for a couple and I was dining alone. The fries were not fries. They were chunky chips. When you say fries, I guarantee you that 99.9% of people imagine French fries. To make matters worse, the chunky chips were half cooked with some raw and under cooked. The same can be said of the roast potatoes. I said at the beginning that the waiting staff were lovely, and they were. However they need to be more incisive. My plate was not finished and no comment was made about this. I also received no check back, which would have enabled me to say things were not right. Overall, I was left in a bad mood and did not enjoy the meal.

02/10/2025: Community cafe. Had a decaf oat latte. Nice vibe.

30/09/2025: We arrived in town at 425 pm, most everything was closed or closing. They were sweeping floors, unlocked the door, made us a coffee and pastry. Lovely people would highly recommend it during business hours.

28/10/2025: No fault to name, despite being usually busy. Food was excellent (Seafood lovers- YES!!) It can only be fresh in Ballycotton for sure!!!! Newly created outdoors area is a real bonus. Plenty of seating and tables for family or small groups meeting up. Parking a short distance away on street! Beautiful walk to the pier and back, to create an appetite is a very good idea too. Usually music in the Bar.

15/10/2025: (Traducido por Google) Ambiente increíble para salir por la noche. (Original) Amazing atmosphere for a night out

01/11/2025: Cosy atmosphere and yummy pad thai!

26/10/2025: Old church converted into a restaurant with great quality food. Great for lunch or dinner.

20/11/2025: We had the pleasure of dining at Mai Fitz in Lissarda recently for a family dinner, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. As a family of four, we were looking for a welcoming atmosphere, and Mai Fitz delivered on all fronts, exceeding our expectations. From the moment we walked in, the service was truly exceptional. The staff were attentive, incredibly friendly, and brilliant with the children—making us feel genuinely valued and looked after throughout the meal. The food was the absolute star of the show. Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The main courses were hearty and delicious, and the desserts were a fantastic finish. This is proper, comforting, and high-quality pub dining at its best. If you're looking for great food and even better service in a lovely setting, Mai Fitz is the place to go. We'll definitely be back soon!

03/11/2025: Stopped for lunch on our way back from Cork. Promptly sat down and brought water whilst we checked the menu and daily specials. The food was superb, a good hearty portion too. Excellent value to boot.

01/11/2025: Small menu with top quality ingredients prepared with exceptional attention to detail. Had the Rib-eye, some of the best I’ve had. Solid wine list and an educated staff to help you make a good choice.

10/10/2025: Excellent....charming.....servers were friendly and efficient and the steaks were over the top!

18/11/2025: Forget about it is the phrase often exclaimed in the mafia movies. Well the same applies with Fishers! Absolutely handsdown down the best fish and chips establishments in London. Amazing quality fish as well as chips the way they are supposed to be made. Amazing service coupled with the great size of the establishment in my view makes for a cosy but engaging experience. If you have to travel across London to experience this gem then take my advise, it's the best!

15/11/2025: Lovely place to dine in with the family, food was excellent, definitely will be be back
