31/03/2026: Just had a wonderful break at the Montenotte, room was very comfortable and everything needed was available. Breakfast in the panorama lounge was delicious with beautiful views of the city. Drinks in the night overlooking the lights of Cork is wonderful. Staff are very attentive and friendly. The short walk downhill is easy to access the city and it's a very short uphill taxi back. We'll certainly return

25/03/2026: Off busy narrow street, so have a good navigation so you don't miss the entry like we did, as it was a bear to get back here. Otherwise, this has been the best hotel we have stayed while in Ireland so far. The staff and hotels attention to details are top notch. You should not be disappointed!

20/04/2026: Nice place, not much to look at from outside, but certainly a lovely cosy nook with a bit of humour.

11/03/2026: I love this little spot! The food is really made with love and you can taste it. The atmosphere is cozy and quirky and the whole experience is a little joy !

30/11/2025: Had a lovely impromptu dinner date here. Food was delicious and well priced. Small internal seating area and though tables are close together, we felt it was still private enough. Service brilliant and staff very friendly.

29/11/2025: We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. We originally booked a table for four, but since we ended up being five, the staff went out of their way to arrange a larger table for us without any trouble. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the team was incredibly attentive and friendly. We truly appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Highly recommended!

08/03/2026: Staff are nice but the food is absolutely shocking. Definitely the worst boojum I have ever been to. Freezing cold, inedible, I threw it away because I felt sick eating it. Expensive mistake going here. It also took absolutely ages and the staff were in a bit of a faff because they were working on deliveroo orders. They handled it as best they could but I do not recommend this place to anyone anymore. Shame because it was good at one time! Edit: I did contact ye before posting this review to give you a chance so there's no point replying to me with that get in contact craic.

24/02/2026: Wery noce food. Highly recommend 👍

03/12/2025: Omg! Unreal, I got the fluffiest scone I have ever tasted, I was so amazed by the desserts, I had to have a biscoff slice, delish!! But was so full afterwards I needed a nap 😅 defo recommend, fab spot!

30/11/2025: Amazing food. Fantastic staff. Looking forward to next time already

16/11/2025: The best Beamish we tried all weekend in Cork.

06/11/2025: giving this place 5 stars feels right and wrong. right because it’s a great place for a drink - wrong because i don’t want other people going and making it busy

02/04/2026: Our first visit and really impressed. A great selection of toppings. The food was piping hot and really tasty. The service was excellent and the whole area was spotlessly clean.

08/02/2026: My partner and I have been coming here for years. Even though we no longer live in Ireland, we make sure we come here when we visit. Excellent pizza, probably the best in the country. The menu is quite small but everything is excellent and stays consistently excellent. The pizzas are large and the dough is just right. The inside has a nice atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and helpful. You can see the pizzas being made in the oven. We usually make a reservation as they are always busy but if you arrive soon after opening, you can get a table without waiting if you're not a large group. It's also a good spot for solo diners.
