The best restaurants in Cork

27/02/2025: Too much friendly staff and reasonable prices. I am really surprised to buy from this shop.

24/01/2025: Generally a good selection of product, some of the younger staff a male in particular would want to lose the attitude and look up the meaning of customer service it isn't a privilege for him to put down his phone and take my money

27/09/2024: The food was delicious and very friendly staff

28/08/2024: Had Kebabs and fish and chips very nice would recommend it

30/05/2025: Another hidden gem . Well worth a visit

15/05/2025: Excellent small shop. Very hospitable staff :)

22/12/2024: As others have mentioned, it doesn't look like much, but there's so much heart in this place. Wonderful owner, and lots of great events that are all about bringing people together. Some of the best nachos you can get.

12/02/2025: Beautiful estate and landscape with trails and James Turrell Sky Garden. The chef at the restaurant worked without prior notice to give us exceptional vegan options and also accommodating my food allergies. Wonderful library. We will return.

10/02/2025: We had a very relaxing stay, thanks to the hotel’s limited number of rooms, which made for a peaceful atmosphere. The open fire in the evening was a lovely touch, adding to the cozy ambiance. Our room was modern and well-equipped, complete with a Nespresso coffee machine. However, there was an unpleasant smell in the room, which may have been due to animals being allowed to stay there. The staff were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay, which made a big difference. However, dining options were quite limited. The only available choice was the restaurant menu, which doesn’t cater to all needs. For example, after a late lunch one day, we wanted a small bite in the evening but found there was no bar menu—only the full restaurant menu, which is quite expensive for the portion sizes. Given that there are also limited dining options locally in Skibbereen town, it would be helpful if the hotel offered a more flexible bar menu. That said, the hotel’s grounds are beautifully maintained, with lovely walking trails that add to the charm of the location. Overall, it’s a great place to unwind, with excellent service, but a few improvements in dining options and room freshness would make the experience even better.

09/04/2025: I've stayed in the firgrove Hotel a good few times. The owner pat and all his staff are very friendly and helpful. You always feel very welcome no matter what time you visit. The food is very high quality and taste very. The location where the hotel is brillant and very easy to get to. They do a great country night of dancing nearly every second Month on a Friday night. Its a great night of entertainment.
