23/06/2025: An incredibly good café. We had several drinks, all of which were perfectly balanced. Most importantly, they weren't too sweet, just right. The service was friendly. The restroom is very well-maintained. They sell some lovely products in the café, which are also exceptional and great. There are only a few seats, so grab one and enjoy your drinks.

14/06/2025: The barista Diarmuid created an inviting atmosphere, and the matcha was the best I have had in Cork so far. Beautiful personality, a brilliant member of staff. Deserves a raise in my opinion. Will come again and recommend to friends.

31/05/2025: Absolutely worth visiting. Good food. Fast served. Staff is super friendly. It's pity we have nothing to match this spot in Cork

30/05/2025: Their eggs royale is excellent. 😋😋

17/05/2025: My favourite restaurant in Midleton. As always, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly.

16/05/2025: Generous and tasty dishes, several options has part of their daily menu and a lovely and attentive staff. We were 15 and we did not have a table big enough to fit as all in the same table and the acoustics weren’t great, but besides that it was a great experience.

17/06/2025: Great bar with amazing seafood restaurant in the back ❤️

15/06/2025: 'Walking into this Bar is an experience worth doing...as you enter the door it was buzzing, immediately you get a sense of energy and fun. On a Saturday evening we enjoyed singers in the front bar, as you wind your way through the different areas you experience exciting atmospheres. We got a table further back in the extended area out the back but still the atmosphere was brilliant. We ate here also and everyone was delighted with their choices. We would definitely recommend The Blackbird Bar so much that we returned every night of stay in Ballycotton.....Enjoy'

02/06/2025: Stopped in skibbereen for lunch and found this amazing restaurant in tje town centre. We hadn't booked but they managed to find us a lovely table for 2 upstairs. My wife said her fresh fish and chips was the best she had ever eaten, as for my large portion of mussels in white creamy garlic sauce absolutely fantastic.

02/06/2025: --- ## The Church Restaurant, Skibbereen: A Delicious Taste of Asia! What a delightful surprise to find **The Church Restaurant in Skibbereen** offering such exceptional Asian cuisine! After a few weeks away from home, I was truly craving those familiar, comforting flavours, and The Church absolutely delivered. I tried the Pad Thai and it hit the spot! The other dishes were also packed with authentic taste, fresh ingredients, and clearly prepared with skill and care. The beef was also great and service exceptional staff making sure we were well looked after and meeting our dining requests. Hospitality unbelievable but busy as the place was fully booked when we ate there. Beyond the wonderful food, the setting in the converted church adds a unique and memorable ambiance to the dining experience.

19/06/2025: Best meal we’ve had in Ireland. Everything was fresh and you could taste it. From the chicken liver pate (best I’ve ever had) to the meringue with homemade ice cream and raspberry sauce. It was delicious. The service and atmosphere were excellent. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend that if you come to Kinsale you do not miss this restaurant.

15/06/2025: Superb top of the line dining experience in Kinsale, great ambience

30/03/2025: The staff and service was lovely, ordering and serving was fast. However, the food was bad. The lasagne was watery and cold, the chips were half cooked and was soaking with oil as if it was sat in oil and it felt like it was microwaved. The lasagne had little to no flavour and the only thing I ate was the garlic bread. The brownie was okay as well but was cold. The service and the staff were amazing throughout the whole experience but food wise, wasn’t the best.

29/03/2025: This place was busy but our food was served quickly. We had the roast beef special and it was amazing.

19/06/2025: Delicious food and fantastic service, I've never been served my food so quick before!

18/06/2025: Have called here many times, absolutely massive! Food is always 100%. Meats seem to be very slow cooked so melt in the mouth beef & bacon. Service & staff are the most professional & efficient you will find anywhere. All other lunch venues should come here and take notes how to run such an establishment. Well done to all the staff at Mai Fitz. Looking forward to my next visit already!

27/05/2025: Best fish and chips😀 love it ! Price is great too

15/05/2025: Hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had. A long time since I came across value for money like this as well. Can't recommend highly enough.

25/05/2025: You can find everything, especially great advice. Thank you so much🙏🏻

20/05/2025: What an incredible selection of products. And the staff was so helpful.

22/06/2025: Found this online looking for somewhere to eat near Putney Bridge. Fantastic! Some of the best fish & chips I’ve ever tasted. Freshly cooked and delicious. Love the quirky inside seating area as well. Just what we needed after a long day at the tennis! We’d definitely go again.

21/06/2025: I have been wanting to try Fishers for a long time, I have always been told fish and chips only taste good on the coast, which I have always believed but I have to say since living in London this is the best fish and chips I have had and I will be coming here again, cooked fresh not oily and batter that is so crunchy, delicious.
