The best restaurants in Cork

18/12/2025: Came in late after a long day of travelling and arrived in near closing time. They were very accommodating to me and my partner, we had accommodation already sorted elsewhere but we had some food here and it was deadly. Owners very friendly and recommend us sights to see. Will be back when we visit skibbereen again.

25/08/2025: Great service as always, food is fabulous, well worth a vist. (not just pub grub, it's restaurant quality), not local but been coming here for nearly 20 years when west along, its always a good place top stop

14/09/2025: Always stop for a few whenever I'm in Midleton

09/08/2025: The lady behind the bar was very nice and friendly. Perfect for a quick pint before getting the train back to Cork, would recommend

02/08/2025: This was the perfect pub for me I was travelling alone I'd just ordered a drink and the staff and customers around made me feel like a regular I honestly can't wait to go back , if your in the area it's a place you need to visit

14/11/2025: The best pizza ever!!! Absolutely delicious 😋 Lovely staff as well Thank you very much and see you next time 😀

11/11/2025: there is a need for health inspector... but in a village like millstreet... nobody will notice

11/10/2025: Refused service due to having a service dog. Very disappointing.

20/09/2025: I stopped in mid morning after strolling around town. Just wanted a tea and snack nothing heavy or big. The hot chocolate brownie and ice cream I ordered was easily one of the best things I’ve eaten since I’ve been here in Ireland! Every bit was savored! I left not a crumb!

03/10/2025: Fantastic- food, lodging and staff!!

23/06/2025: We had a rather mixed experience for dinner. When making the booking I had requested a table around 7pm but was told there was a big group coming in at that time and we could only be accommodated at 6pm. When we arrived we were the only people in the restaurant and when we left it was still very empty. We were seated in a section of the restaurant on our own which meant the atmosphere was unfortunately very lacking. The food was good but not fantastic in my opinion; the vegetables in particular were over cooked and mushy (courgettes and peppers) and the potatoes were just ok. There's beautiful fresh produce in West Cork, particularly in summer, and it was shame not to see this reflected on the plates. The fish and venison which we had were very nice. The location and grounds are beautiful.

17/02/2026: savage smash burgers and lovely staff

17/02/2026: Just had one of the smash burgers prepared by the lovely Jackie. Would definitely recommend.

01/11/2025: Firstly, a huge thank you to Brendan. My return from last year for 3 wonderful nights and plan to return next year. Supremely clean and comfortable rooms. A cozy traditional pub lies below rooms. A few minute walk into Midelton town centre. A 3 minute walk to train station which will have you into Cork City Centre in 22 minutes. Thanks to a terrific staff and the friendly locals who frequent this gem of a pub.

19/09/2025: What a place, super clean bed & breakfast with a friendly well run bar downstairs. Brendan the owner is a super nice guy. We had some great chats. The breakfast was very generous, lots of local produce on the menu, rashers & sausages etc. The bar stocks Blacks Beer & the best selection of Stonewell Ciders I've seen in a bar that size. Also the obligatory locally produced Midleton Whiskey

25/10/2025: The food was amazing, really good taste and variety. Great place.

19/10/2025: Great place in Killarney. Staff were SUPER nice and inviting. We had the burger and drinks. Would recommend.

07/02/2026: Outstanding restaurant cuisine The haddock is absolutely superb!

02/02/2026: Horace I recommend a great atmosphere, a restaurant with a beautiful view of the water

18/10/2025: Great selection of food very friendly nice staff very welcoming well worth to visit 😀

16/10/2025: Delicious lunch! Great service!

19/09/2025: Fantastic food, super service! This is a beautiful and cosy restaurant ideal for a quiet date night or a celebration meal. The food was delicious, Hake, Monkfish, Pork medallions and the Duck were all faultless. Not to mention the Lemon soufflé or Chocolate Pot, both fabulous!

02/10/2025: Lovely friendly place - welcoming to both me and my dog

22/09/2025: Best coffee shop in mallow no doubt. The baking is actual real proper fresh stuff (not the type that’s dry and been brought in by outsourcing from some company). I got a millionaire shortbread square im really craving a lot after being there. Atmosphere very nice as well. Family run. Clean tables- literally everything is spot on 👌

18/09/2025: Great course and very friendly staff. I played it in February and didn't get rain, so lucky. It's so much like Scottish links course. It's really good you can reserve tee times without staying at the resort. There are 5 courses at Bandon GC and they are in the top 20 in the USA.

16/08/2025: Some stunning views as you go on the course.. the greens were really well maintained as was the course in general.. very accommodating staff also..will definitely be back!
