The best restaurants in Cork

06/03/2025: Loved it so friendly, a lovely spot with a great pint!

01/01/2025: Charming, warm, homely, stripped back old-style pub. Wonderful experience and oasis right in the middle of the cacophony of Cork city centre. Friendly vibe, no tvs, no music just the real deal Irish pub. You’d never know who you might bump into with such an eclectic clientele of local and international.

09/10/2024: I’m writing this review as I’m still here enjoying myself. It’s a bar within the Montenotte Hotel. I was greeted and felt welcomed by a gentleman out front. He ushered me to the bar happily. I was maybe 10 minutes early but they weren’t angry or upset. The bartender, Debbie, was unbelievably kind and attentive. She was such a delight to talk to and give me suggestions. I am beyond happy I randomly came here. Will definitely return just for the hospitality alone.

11/03/2025: Food & service brilliant as usual.Missing the Irish Music like before.

09/03/2025: All round good pub for food/ drink and sports

16/03/2025: Gave me wrong food. Won't answer phone

08/03/2025: I entered in here after running 2.5km or miles, not sure which as I don't run. I had the appetite of a man who ran 2.5km or miles, not sure which as I don't run. I ordered a mixed donner and chips meal. It hit the spot and I always remember hearing somewhere something about the last bite? The last bite in this establishment blew my mind. I don't know why, but the last bite of the meal I purchased upset me as to how good the meal was. The sauces on the plate, how it is served it perfect. I would highly recommend purchasing the meal I just spoke about. Fresh onion, fresh tomato, fresh lettuce and there was a pickled beetroot or slaw? Definitely try this place out if you are around Plunkett Street and hungry. The seating I found was perfect as a solo diner, I had a mirror in front of me to take in my surroundings and atmosphere as I enjoyed the meal and also ate upon a funky colored marble tabletop. 4 stars from me !

23/03/2025: Lovely food. Always excellent. Lovely staff. Very welcoming and engaging always. Well worth a visit. Carvery Sunday today.

25/02/2025: Upstairs will craft you an incredibly well-balanced cocktail. They put pride and passion into every drink they make; many of which include house-made infusions. Open late. This is the perfect bar and atmosphere for the beginning, middle, or end to your night.

23/02/2025: Fabulous cocktails, great staff, I don't know how the make such complicated drinks all night fair play to them. Best place in Cork for cocktails
