The Elm Tree
Cork
06/05/2026: We had a lovely afternoon yesterday celebrating Emilia's confirmation. The table was decorated with balloons and Emilia was given a gift and card as she sat down, lovely touches and made her day ❤️ Special mention to Stacey who looked after us so well!
The food was gorgeous and we all left with full bellies and delighted with a lovely afternoon
05/05/2026: Good value, good service. Not a fan of their boiled/roasted veg, but I’d probably be in a minority of their clients. Good place for Sunday lunch and an even better place for an early evening meal weekdays.

Authentic, flavoursome, Thai cuisine, with very generous portions. Very pleasant ambience. I couldn't speak more highly of the friendly, attentive staff, who couldn't do enough for us.

Son of a Bun

12/05/2026: I come from the beautiful city of Munich in Bavaria, Germany, where we also have great burgers — but for this burger, I would gladly travel 2,400 km again.

Gallo & Galetti

The Kingsley
Cork
18/05/2026: Not too far from Cork city centre stands a beautiful hotel on the banks of the river. Rooms are of a good size, clean and beds are very comfortable.
Staff are lovely, professional and pleasant, and they can only bested by the food served.
Everything from the goats cheese tartlet through to the incredible beef mains was nothing short of exceptional.
To top it all off, a trip to the spa, including the outdoor heated (really warm) swimming pool.
Overall, a really pleasant experience, and worth every moment.
09/05/2026: Booked the Kingsley for our son's communion and I can't fault anything.. the staff were amazing and my son even got a communion card and dessert from the Kingsley for his big day.. will absolutely be booking with the Kingsley again. Fantastic day

23/04/2026: Amazing food and amazing service. Lovely vibe and the waitress girl has a beautiful voice 🥰🥰
14/03/2026: Excellent take away - some reviewers seem to think this is supposed to be a restaurant and are giving it negative reviews. Ignore those dopes, it’s a take away and an amazing one at that !

The Fota Restaurant
Cork
01/06/2026: Think closer to a 4 star than a 5 star. Breakfast on the first morning was only ok. Full irish was over cooked and bacon was not good. Service very slow. Reception woke us up at 10.40 looking for a credit card number. It could have waited till morning as we were staying 2 nights but when I suggested this they didn't see to agree. Being honest tho the foor in Amber bar was very good and staff were lovely.
26/05/2026: Brilliant worth every Euro spent there
