The best restaurants in Cork

23/11/2025: Fish and chips is excellent from here really enjoyed them. We were watching dolphins playing in the estuary while we ate.

20/11/2025: Great fish, but chips could be better (too thick and thus not crispy enough to me)

18/05/2026: An authentic pub with very nice and friendly service. We had delicious mussels from the local Kenmare Bay and a Guinness 0.0 on tap. It tastes really good for a non-alcoholic beer. MacCarthy's is definitely a must-visit if you're in Castleberetown.

09/05/2026: Pure pub atmosphere! Live music for special occasions! The owner is very nice ☘️☘️☘️

19/05/2026: Excellent food. Great location and friendly service. Had the crab sandwich which was excellent.

17/05/2026: Great little gem on the beach. Lines can be very long even on a weekday. Lots of parking across the street.

19/05/2026: Lovely place , leisure centre was kept well, carvery lunch was nice, had room upgrade to suite very spacious will definitely be back again, lady on reception was so nice and welcoming

Great Evening Food with great choice ..Breakfast had everything you could ask for from fruit , porridge, cereal , Fry up , Staff were so pleasant .. Would definitely go back..5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

17/10/2025: Very friendly little cafe with beautiful and good food, especially not to be missed if you go to COBH, but above all what you should not miss eating at this place is the chocolate cake, frankly a killer, honestly I have never eaten such a delicious chocolate cake. Go there, trust me.

12/10/2025: Sea Salt is a charming little café in Cobh, offering a cozy atmosphere and a menu full of creative dishes. There are both sweet and savory vegan options, each beautifully presented and delicious. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. A lovely place to relax by the sea — highly recommended!

22/05/2026: We had our Day Two in the The Blackbird in April, and from day one Mossie couldn’t have been more helpful. He assisted us in finding a musician and even provided a contact number for transport from the hotel for our guests. The setup was excellent, with plenty of space for everyone. Claire, who was performing, was fantastic, and the food from Trawler Boyz was amazing, everyone loved it. The staff on the night were also so helpful and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend the pub to anyone planning a celebration. Thanks again!

19/05/2026: Great place for a pint and food

05/05/2026: Excellent restaurant, good products, tender and delicious fish and chips, amazing and succulent Angus burger 👍

21/04/2026: Our first visit was very pleasant – we'll be back. Food is served until 4 pm, but unfortunately we were too late.

20/05/2026: Came highly recommended from a local...they were right. a little bit of a challenge finding it, due mostly to our bad GPS. excellent food, staff and ambiance. 👍👍

18/05/2026: Outstanding fare upstairs, terrific bar down, wish we could go more often! And after years, the food is still amazing!

08/04/2026: This is a great place for good food, friendly service and a casual atmosphere. I met a few friends for lunch here the other day - I arrived after they had already ordered as it was a last minute gathering. The waiter was so kind and welcoming - recommended the steak sandwich and they had my food ready in time to come out with the others. Everybody at our table loved their food - I had the steak sandwich, which was amazing. One of our friends had the steak burger - which was an absolute beast! Bigger than her, I'd say - but very instagrammable! She ate the whole thing so it must have been really good!

23/03/2026: Delicious food, big portions, very friendly staff. So much I wanted to order

13/12/2025: Went for a drink. Nice Guinness, good atmosphere, short of space and short of seating

07/12/2025: Outstanding Beamish, a warm friendly service and great grub

21/05/2026: I visited Oriole and really enjoyed the experience. Great atmosphere, creative cocktails, and smooth live music that made the place feel special. The service was friendly and the vibe is perfect for a relaxed evening out.

17/05/2026: We had a great night. Started with cocktails upstairs and then dinner downstairs. The food was great and good value for money. We were there on a Saturday night and the band was excellent and the atmosphere was bumping. We were downstairs from 8:00-11.30 and caught the tail end of set one and all of set 2 & 3. We will be back.

24/12/2025: A lovely location and great service with a very nice team. Stayed for 2 nights and had 2 rooms on the top floor. Marked down from 5 stars as 1) Top floor carpets and rooms could have been cleaner: lots of hair on carpet which a better hoover would pick up, quite a bit of dust on shelves, and TV was broken (aerial not attached) so couldn't get TV channels. Noise insulation between floors not great, a drunk couple on floor 1 woke us up on one night as they were in the room below. But the beds were comfy, the food in the cafe is good. It's good value for money.

19/12/2025: Great spot in kinsale. Dog friendly too! They have a garden area for those with their dog. The food, drink and service is all perfect 😊

13/05/2026: Best pint of Guinness on or visit to Ireland

12/05/2026: Coolest bar in Cobh. Great pints, live music, Irish coffee, clean bathrooms, good banter with the bartender, a story about Paul Rudd and "hate racism" banners. What's not to love

07/11/2025: Beautiful, real oak fire pizza. Wonderful atmosphere. Nice selection of pizza. Quick service.

18/10/2025: While visiting from NM in the US we stumbled on this great place. The owners are very personable and professional. The pizza was great and it’s just a short walk from the Jameson Distillery.

23/04/2026: Great atmosphere and delicious food, we were thrilled!

20/04/2026: Beautiful and inviting ambiente and atmosphere, professional and friendly service, and our food was perfect. They have a classic modern menu, and the overall experience was absolutely great. I'm sure we'll become regular customers.
