22/04/2026: Beautiful sushi, one of the nicest in cork we were in CUH for two weeks with our baby so we had sushi a few times and we enjoyed it

30/03/2026: Absolutely amazing from the food to the service. I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the food because we were so excited to eat it 🤣 very reasonably priced also for the amount of food we ordered and top class 🙏 highly recommended

30/04/2026: Lovely food, fabulous team working here

14/04/2026: My family and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at the Golden Elephant this week. 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.

20/05/2026: We both had a vegan starter and main and they were absolutely delicious. I'd get the same dishes again in a heartbeat.

06/05/2026: Great spot food was spot on too

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. So, Servus da Wiggal

10/05/2026: I had the best chicken burger of my life here, the monthly special Chicken Cruncher was simply devine!! My mom and brother took other burgers and were also amazed by theirs! Oh and the mac n cheese!! Just simply WOW!!

16/05/2026: A friend and I visited from Canada, and found ourselves in this pub on a whim. We were immediately welcomed with open arms and loved the camaraderie between locals and the bar staff. We spent hours chatting, listening to music, and laughing alongside some of the best. Thank you Cork, we WILL be back!

05/05/2026: I stopped in for a quick half of a pint of Guinness after dinner across the street. Great service and amazing Guinness. Sláinte!

27/09/2025: Wonderful cocktails, great music and ambience, and I cannot say enough good things about the people that work here. I celebrated my 30th birthday AND engagement here, and my fiancée and I were shown such incredible hospitality by everyone we interacted with. I wish I could remember our bartender’s name, he truly made the night special. It’s been a month since we returned from Ireland, and our night at Paladar is one of our favorite memories from the whole trip. Highly recommend spending your time and money here!

20/09/2025: The atmosphere was good but was pressurized to finish the dinner for the next customer. I understand the time limit on the table but since we sat down we were reminded on several occasions the time limit which made us feel unwelcome.

14/05/2026: Can not even suggest one thing to improve upon. Was a delight!

13/05/2026: Elegant accommodations and excellent service.

11/03/2026: Great Italian restaurant with delicious food. Friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable prices. I recommend it.

09/03/2026: 5* food and service. I had the Carbonara and the kids had goujons and chips. It was beautiful and as I was rushing for the airport, they facilitated me super fast, I calculated 6 minutes from ordering to table!! Delicious and fresh, will definitely return.

01/12/2025: One of Corks best pubs. Suitable for all age demographics. Decent live music and sport on the TV. Lovely creamy pints of stout too

27/10/2025: Great place to watch rugby. Great pints, service and atmosphere!

10/11/2025: I created a video of our visit to Nano Nagle Convent. To see a complete review of our visit to this tourist attraction search on YouTube for "@travellingtourist Nano Nagle Convent”

07/11/2025: Fascinating visit, we now know the difference between a class 1, 2 and 3 relic! Thanks Tatiana for bringing it to life for us.

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 !

04/01/2026: Lovely place for brunch with a unique menu. One of our party was a bit disappointed they couldn't get scrambled eggs with their breakfast, but they enjoyed their poached eggs all the same.

01/01/2026: Brunch here was stellar. The pancetta hash was savory and addictive while the ricotta pancakes were some of the best pancakes I've ever had! Great smoothies as well! Love that you can sit outside too. This is the place to go in Cork for breakfast!

29/03/2026: They served us past serving time!!! They are the best

28/03/2026: Lovely staff, good food. My go to for meals. Must try on your visit to 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
