The best restaurants in Cork

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

10/08/2025: Make sure when you book for dinner that you check they have written it down in the book. We showed up with a big party - having booked a month in advance - and were turned away with the implication that we had made it up. No apology - somewhat lacking in people skills.

27/08/2025: Beautiful setting and the food is gorgeous, they also are well able to cater for anyone that suffers celiac and prevention of cross contamination,

23/08/2025: Lovely food and cakes but place is filthy. Need a deep cleaning. Cutlery very dirty, tables. Staff need a proper training. They where putting fingers into mugs.Nobody is cleaning a tables

15/09/2025: Excellent local pub, great atmosphere

22/07/2025: Nice friendly bar just off the main street in midleton. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Music every weekend.

10/09/2025: Great friendly staff. Lovely coffee.

08/08/2025: Nice informal cafe, good food and pleasant staff - and plenty of parking.

29/09/2025: The hotel has a great location and a rustic feel. Unfortunately, it's quite dated and rather noisy. However, the breakfast was delicious.

11/09/2025: Very old room that needs renovations. Elevator didn't work on main floor. Beds very comfortable. Windows had bird poop all over them. Tub very dangerous to get in/out, so that meant no showering. Quiet room. Way overpriced and definitely not 4 or 5 stars. Jude very welcoming upon arrival, but, paying up front not ok. Breakfast was fantastic!

20/08/2025: I had a coffee, and saw what was called a Portuguese custard tart....pastel de nata.. which I must say was horrible. It was dry, no lemon zest taste and absolutely no cinnamon won't be back

10/08/2025: Overall it's a nice cafe with good potential and very comfortable seating options. The cappuccino was good and the overall atmosphere was nice. My biggest criticism is the place was freezing cold as they leave the door open even on cold mornings which is ridiculous. The place looked good in terms of cleanliness except some of the tables needed a deeper clean. Staff were friendly and professional enough. Would I return?......yes, if they closed the door and turned on the heating.

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!

21/09/2025: We were here today September 21st, Sunday at 2:30. And it's closed for season. But Google maps said it's open. Dissapointing

05/09/2025: Very delicious food, friendly, attentive service. Reasonable prices. Friday special: starter or dessert plus main course for only 20 euros.

05/09/2025: A lovely place to eat traditional Irish coastal dishes, with a very relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. We tried the seafood soup and fish and chips with fresh fish.

21/08/2025: Generous and delicious seafood chowder, I would come back again.

04/10/2025: We had dinner here last week. We had been here a number of years ago and the standard has gone down a lot. I had seafood chowder which was full of potatoes and very little seafood and came with a skin on top. The turkey was dry and the ham looked like it was out of a packet, there was no stuffing which is very odd with a turkey and ham meal. The potatoes and gravy were nice. Side order of chips were dry and mostly inedible. The toffee apple dessert (sticky toffee) didn’t look appealing but tasted okay. We ordered two soft drinks and one non-alcoholic Tom Collins. There is a good cocktail menu but they won’t do other mocktails outside of Friday and Saturday. Service was okay but when plates clearly with uneaten food on them were returned there was no checking if they were okay. We spent €106, I would not be returning.

20/09/2025: Had a really lovely lunch in Poachers today. The food was delicious and the staff were fabulous. Would highly recommend ☺️

08/08/2025: Got a good night's sleep a harthy breakfast to send us on our way. The staff were very helpful and pleasant .

07/08/2025: Had the food great food and service would call again

15/09/2025: Most definitely will be back for a longer stay next time

16/08/2025: Just home from our second week long stay at the Clonakility Park. It's a fantastic hotel for families. You just have to accept it's completely kids centred and go with the flow. My kids love the place. The kids bingo and disco every night are a must. We stayed in the on site holiday homes which are very spacious and have everything you need. The pool is great for kids of all ages and if you get the time while on a family holiday the gym is excellent with all the equipment you could need. Highly recommend this hotel

14/08/2025: Had the fish and chip box form the food truck which is part of the bar and it was amazing quality to have on the beach .

12/08/2025: This is a real locals bar. Located just outside the town and right beside Jamesfort The Dock gives unrivalled views of the bay and is a perfect location for a summer’s day drink.

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 👌
