Man Friday
Kinsale
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.

Catch of the day
Kinsale
23/11/2025: Fish and chips is excellent from here really enjoyed them. We were watching dolphins playing in the estuary while we ate.
20/11/2025: Great fish, but chips could be better (too thick and thus not crispy enough to me)

Organico
Bantry legal town
19/12/2025: Ordered online some small amount of goods — they were carefully wrapped and arrived swiftly, with care and warming message and a teabag, really well professionally packed, and the selection & variety of goods is impressive, this is what we need more on earth!
15/12/2025: Ordered a christmas present from them a week ago, one of their nice hammered brass bottles. I got a call this week saying it's not in stock, but they have another type if required.
Now I have to go back to my partner and tell them they were getting this present (they mentioned that they loved it) and now it needs to be a different type.
Not happy with the service.

The Collector
Kinsale
22/12/2025: Their coffee is truly unlike any other I’ve had in Ireland. I ordered the Ko Yao Yai, with subtle citrus notes, incredibly aromatic and such a pleasure to drink.
16/12/2025: Such a lovely spot, so relaxing inside!

WILD Restaurant
Ballinspittle
07/01/2026: We booked on New Year's Day based on the menu advertised at the door that day. When we went that evening the 2 dishes, muscles and steak, that we had travelled for were not available. It was so disappointing 😞 I ordered the fish which was to have a herb gnocchi with it but instead I got a type of potato cake thing. So all in all it was so disappointing. On the flip side tho, the staff were polite and attentive.
05/01/2026: Wild is a treat and a fantastic experience for any food lover.

de Barra
Clonakilty
21/01/2026: A historic place from the 60s, 70s and 80s...there is no world-famous rock musician who hasn't played here...from Hendrix, Jeff Beck, McCartney, Springsteen, Bono Vox, etc...
Top atmosphere and drinks...reasonable prices...
For every recommendation,
A great discovery in a small town.
30/12/2025: Without question this is one of the finest Pubs in Ireland.
Absolutely legendary place for great live music. A must visit if you are in West Cork.

Ferrit and Lee
Midleton
11/12/2025: What a great restaurant, we had a lovely meal here last night and the food was delicious
Great staff ,very friendly and helpful.
29/11/2025: Had the most amazing family dinner here lastnight and I had to share the experience! We were a table of 8 people, some had starts and dessert, all had mains ! Everything was amazing, the service was brilliant , super friends and welcoming staff ! Service was perfectly timed that it wasn't too long or too quick for food either ! The flavours were out of the world! Even the mushroom soup which wouldn't be a first pick for me was insane! Will definitely be back again!

Cush
Ballycotton
08/12/2025: Great food and very friendly staff. Always a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
07/12/2025: A cold wet and windy evening in Ballycotton, this is the closest pub to the pier, where water rages and crashed over the breaker onto the pier and street, the perfect experience, pre-pints.
The bar was warm as was the welcome.
I was looking for a pint of local Beamish or Murphys, but was willing to settle for my favourite pint, Guinness.

Mai Fitz
Lissarda
16/01/2026: Okay, if you want a roast dinner, there is literally NO WHERE better!! The service is truly amazing!!! We usually have our food arrive before our drinks (and that’s only because it takes a minute to pour a Beamish)! Service is excellent and the food is even better! Just go and have dinner and a pint! You will NOT regret it!!!
11/01/2026: Great place good food and great coffee and great value for money the staff are lovely service is fast all round great place 😁
