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.

07/12/2025: Food is always delicious and tasty, service is super friendly and efficient, one of my favourite breakfast/Brunch in Cork.

27/11/2025: The food and the service are definitely the winning combo. Excellent selection and combination of ingredients, beautiful presentation and taste absolutely super. Plenty of choices on menu to meet all tastes and needs. Keep up the beautiful job you're doing. Definitely you stand out and it's not luck, it's passion and dedication!

20/09/2025: Great spot, had a lovely sausage roll and then very nice coffee cake and Chai latte. Only thing is the place is popular so it's often full. I went around 11 on a Monday and by 12 it was full up

15/09/2025: It is my favourite coffee shop (and imo the best one) in Cork. The staff is the best. So lovely! The coffee is amazing. Always on point. They've got some bites if you're hungry (the chef/baker is amazing) and the sweets... 🤤 The sweets!!! That brownie is by far the best I've had around here. Some of the best coffee shop cakes in Cork for sure. Oh and the friendly atmosphere... Highly recommended! ❤️

08/12/2025: A very nice place, very beautiful, the food is very good and very well priced. Very friendly and fast waiters.

08/12/2025: Poetry Burgers No. 1 in Ireland

17/10/2025: I was having breakfast this morning, I order eggs Benedict, and I think the rashers were cooked the last year. Be careful with the ingredients guys.. it's really annoying.

16/10/2025: Lovely atmosphere. Street side seating also.

01/01/2026: Friendly local pub, Great pint of Beamish, a good age mix here, well worth a visit.

29/11/2025: Lovely bar...calm, quiet relaxing.

05/12/2025: Really beautiful meal for4 adults 2 children. Kids meal is great value and chicken goujons are real breast like you’d make at home. Hake salmon duck and burger all thoroughly enjoyed. Brownies and pavlova were divine but bannoffee was lacking on the caramel / toffee front. As it was really busy understandably service was a little slow and our drinks forgotten for over half an hour but there was a wonderful buzz and atmosphere and we’ll definitely return Stunning Christmas decor too ☺️

04/12/2025: Staff are fantastic, food is 5 star and there's a great pint of stout

09/11/2025: Nice restaurant, steak bavette was delicious and chocolate tart very tasty. Lovely service.

27/10/2025: We stumbled on this restaurant after not being able to get into a different one. It was a great find! The food was incredible, the staff was amazing, and they were extremely kid-friendly! They provided us with a great experience on a busy evening, getting us in quickly even though we did not have a reservation.

29/11/2025: The food was great, i just wish there were more places to sit. Their partnership with the pub next door is great though.

28/11/2025: The restaurant looks clean and small, with an open-kitchen concept that gives a cozy atmosphere. They offer drinks like tea, kombucha, and similar beverages. I ordered kombucha, but I was expecting it to be organic unfortunately, it came in a can, which was disappointing. One of the biggest issues is that there is no toilet available, which is a major inconvenience. The woman taking orders at the counter entered the kitchen area, leaned over a table not meant for customers, and started chatting loudly with the kitchen staff. One of the employees even stopped working to join the conversation. This felt unprofessional — someone not working in the kitchen should not be inside talking like that, and it negatively affects the restaurant’s image. Free tap water is provided, which was a nice touch. The food itself was good, but it took a very long time to arrive. We ordered three dishes, and after finishing two, the third one still had not been served even though we had already waited a long time. Meanwhile, the receptionist’s friend arrived and had a 5 minute loud conversation in the small dining area, which made the environment uncomfortable. Overall, it was a disappointment. If you plan to visit Miyazaki Japanese Restaurant, keep these points in mind and adjust your expectations.

17/11/2025: The food was ok. Nothing too crazy really for that price. I appreciate the staff accommodating my little brother who is very picky with food.

14/11/2025: Tasty food and friendly service. The views of the castle are lovely.

14/10/2025: Old Rustic bar in South Main Street, the City Center of Cork. Across from the old Beamish and Crawford Brewary, there's a lot of history in the area. There's a younger crowd frequenting it now, and they have some seating outside. The staff are nice as is the atmosphere.

07/10/2025: Nice pub. Good music. Not the best beer selection. Used to have real candles on each table with wax spilling over the bottle they were in, now changed for fake candles. It's a pity, it was part of what made it a cosy pub.
