20/12/2025: Goldie never disappoints! If you're visiting Cork or from Cork, goldie 100% has to be on the to do list. The food, services, drinks are always 10/10. Have been going to goldie for years and the standard has never changed. Great team and service inside there. Would highly recommend. Whether you want a full 3 course meal or sharing/tapas style dining, its suits every occasion.

13/12/2025: What an experience absolutely beautiful food the effort the flavours the wine the atmosphere was just spectacular. Natalia is just the most amazing person explains every dish every part of the menu. I loved every second the chef should be so proud the food was Devine. What a special place well done guys you don’t get many places in the world serving food at this standard. Pure Heavan ❤️

14/12/2025: From entering the beautiful gateway, received by the concierge, welcomed with mulled wine, and shown to an exquisite bedroom with its own Christmas tree. What can I say. Amazing. The whole Christmas experience, the beautiful cocktail bar and 5 star food experience at the Bistro left us feeling we had being transported to another world. Discreet staff, nothing a problem, meticulously prepared rooms and overall ambience have me prepared to have that same experience at least once a year. Well done to you all, you’ve made both our birthdays and Christmas, so thankyou🥰

13/12/2025: Once again my friend snd I had a fabulous Christmas staycation at hayfield .the fact we got to check in early really added to the experience .each staff member , from the minute we parked up to our departure were so welcoming and pleasant .the food throughout our stay was gorgeous.an oasis of calm and beauty . We hope to return again next year 💕

22/12/2025: Pint a guinees and the Atmosphere, while busy, its obvious why. Top service

18/11/2025: Atmosphere was amazing but the pint of Heineken was very poor

13/12/2025: All I can say is we'll done to all the staff in Elbow Lane. Once again everything was fantastic. Great food se

13/12/2025: Attentive service but not overbearing, well made tasty cocktails and the food was absolutely delicious. Thanks to Ryan in particular. We can’t wait to return.

25/11/2025: Really enjoyed the cozy ambiance and delicious meals.

16/11/2025: Spectacular from start to finish. Phenomenal food, cocktails and service. Angie and Tom on the bar in particular were so accommodating and passionate.

05/12/2025: The food is amazing, but I am giving three stars because one of the waitresses is rude every time. The skinny , long hair with a pair of glasses. The other staffs are lovely.

18/11/2025: Nice service and really tasty food with a good price. It's one of the best japanese restaurants in this city

21/11/2025: Staff were excellent, but food was dissapointing , new menu so we were excited to choose , I had the Hake with a veloute sauce , fondant potatoe and broccollini which was a little too al dente, the whole meal was too cool in temperature and very bland. My table mates had the same expereince with their choices. Clearly this is a popular venue with good reveiws , unfortunately we did not have the same experience.

18/11/2025: I LOVE that they use everything from Cork (or at least nearby). There is an information log in the back that tells you where everything is sourced, which was so fun to see after a visit to The English Market. Delicious meal, although the chicken breast was a teeny bit dry. Otherwise, was great!

08/01/2026: Banger, really busy but great service, nice atmosphere and unreal food. Sharing plates are class!!! And ofc great message behind their food.

04/01/2026: I’ve been coming here since I moved to the area a couple years ago. The food, atmosphere, and service are always 10/10. The food is fresh and flavorful. The saffron cake is truly devine if you’re in the mood for a treat. They have a fair amount of pantry items and coffee to buy and take home as well. Don’t pass this place up! Do make a reservation though, as they get very busy.

09/09/2025: Pizza and service was amazing will definitely be a returning customer and if in cork this is a must place to eat.

08/09/2025: We loved our dining experience at CRUST! The owner waited on us, and checked on us, and took time to chat with us. Pizza and drinks were delicious. We would definitely recommend this little Gem to others.

29/10/2025: One of the best coffees in Cork. Lovely staff.

10/10/2025: Best place to get a coffee in Cork!! 😃

22/12/2025: “I love this place. The service is amazing and they make me feel like I’m at home. As soon as they see me, they already know my favorite drink. The best matcha ever. Thank you, guys!”

13/12/2025: Service and staff memebrs were incredible in this pub, especially Grace who provided the most amazing custoner wervice and friendliness: we’ll be coming back here!!! give this girl a bonus!!!

09/12/2025: Stopped for a spot of lunch party of four. Very disappointed with the chicken stir fry with noodles chef would need a refresher course, other three courses just ok as for there Apple pie & custard don't get me started Wouldn't be recommending it to anybody.
