The best restaurants in Cork

02/12/2025: We took some takeaway from here a year ago. Since then, every time when we think “If you could have anything to eat, what would it be?” 10/10 times it’d be the chicken tenders from this place. Thank you for changing our life 🙏🏼

27/09/2025: Quick bite on walk back to accommodation. While waiting for my food, spotted some of the food that was coming out of the kitchen, looks top and tasty. One of the nicest fish and chips I've had in a long time. Nice meaty bit of fish in a light crispy batter. Chips skin on and crispy with tartar sauce. Polished away!

17/05/2026: This estate and it's gardens are no longer open to the public. We attempted to visit but the gates were closed.

02/05/2026: You can’t walk around the grounds anymore as it is closed for public completely

09/10/2025: WOW… You need to try this place in Youghal! I’ve tried multiple different dishes on the menu, and it’s always delicious (breakfast, lunch & dinner)! The experience is then made even better by the warm, friendly and attentive staff who all make a big effort. The amazing view over the ocean is another beautiful part of the experience here. It’s inside the golf club, so there’s loads of free parking which makes life easy! You don’t need to be a golfer to eat here. It’s open to everyone and I highly recommend! 10/10, five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

30/08/2025: Tips & Improvements What a lovely spot! Below Youghal, there's a kilometer-long sandy beach. Up on the mountain around the Table 8 Bistro is the golf course. How cool is that :-) The older folks keep fit by swimming in the sea at around 20 degrees Celsius, and the youngsters play golf around the Table 8 Bistro. You have to see it! The food at the Table 8 Bistro is very good for a bistro, the view is magnificent, and the staff very friendly. We'd love to come back. Improvements That huge bush right in front of one of the windows really blocks the view of the sea and the landscape. You should really consider relocating it. We certainly didn't understand why it was planted in that exact spot. Leave me a heart :-)

02/01/2026: Fantastic dining experience. I think this place is known for its steaks but we ate everything BUT the steak and found the flavours to be phenomenal. Standouts from the menu were the dirty mash and hispi cabbage (sides), the duck breast (main) and the cauliflower (starter). Highly recommend eating here.

04/11/2025: Even though the setting is pleasant, the service is far from commensurate with the prices charged at this establishment... From the appetizer to the dessert, everything is just okay, and even less so when it comes to one of their specialties, the meat, which they don't seem to know how to cook properly... what a shame... only the slideshow (not included) allowed me to travel a little... One star nonetheless for the person who served us, who was very friendly and professional. I don't understand the other reviews; the 5 stars are not deserved given the quality/price ratio... I won't be going back.

28/02/2026: Always a great experience at the Finders Inn Restaurant. Warm welcome, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere added to the top quality food. Can't wait to go back!

22/02/2026: Awful , it’s been a while since a posted anything but felt obligated.. frozen chips with mashed garlic potatoes with rubbery monkfish .. seriously I actually thought it’s harder to feck this up but they managed it ., Steak obviously overcooked and dry How it’s even allowed stay open with the conditions of the toilets .. no paper towels or hand dryers .. never again

05/10/2025: One of the best French toasts I ever had. Service is top notch!

20/09/2025: Dined there a little while ago waitress was friendly food ok the owner could do with brushing up on his people skills kept me waiting nearly 5 mins to pay while he was taking an order on the phone when I did pay he continued with his phone call no acknowledgement of my existence

12/01/2026: I love it the absolute bizzo, I love the food. The atmosphere, its brilliant,

10/01/2026: I work in the center and 9 times out of 10 get my lunch here! The food is top quality and always super consistent, the staff are lovely too! Emily in particular is always so kind and polite to every customer, and she is super efficient too! Give that girl a raise!! Great burritos and staff 10/10 would recommended

16/05/2026: Been here twice with my family. Love the food and service. The quality and quantity is really great 👍.

09/05/2026: Fantastic Asian food. Thats it. Go get it. Large portions of chicken or meat, ingredients in each portion. Tasty.

02/05/2026: I placed a take away order, had to wait while a phone order was being taken and for the customer to get a link for payment. No other staff offered to hand over my order while it was getting cold, feel like I should have left the pizza there and gone around the corner for Apache

13/04/2026: Very good pizza at a good price.

23/07/2025: Crusty old cakes and an abusive owner. Don’t go near this place. Food was weeks old, dirty cups but don’t dare complain because you will regret it

17/07/2025: What an amazing cafe. Filled with artefacts from grandma's place. The coffee was superb. The atmosphere awesome. The scones...best I've ever had. Great conversation with Peter who does all the baking himself.

14/04/2026: Food was great fish pie was beautiful

23/01/2026: Porridge coffee & toast Best for quality quantity and VAlue for money in Cork County

26/03/2026: I love this bar but It's so dark in here it's hard to see anything. Toilets are disgusting. Needs a really good clean.

24/03/2026: So popped in here over the weekend after hearing such good things about the new "owner" after not been home to Youghal in years. The lady behind the bar who i presume was the owner couldn't have been more unwelcoming if she tried.Kind of looked us up and down when we entered and then More or less threw the drinks at myself and the person I was with....as I can only assume we weren't locals as that's who she was focused on....awful lady....needless to say the next time im back in my home town ill avoid this establishment. Other bars in the town are much more welcoming that's this place.

24/03/2026: Best place within a 10 mile radius. Staff always polite and professional - always returning for the homemade pizzas !! Chips are best I’ve come across

24/03/2026: Got a feed for the crew when passing through, Chips spot on, And the Pizzas OMG! Savage munch! Will be back 👍

08/03/2026: Sweet pub to have a few drinks. Welcoming and cozy, quiet enough to have a conversation, lively enough to be fun.

08/03/2026: The publican and patrons were very welcoming. The draft beer was delicious . Definitely a local pub that welcomes new people in.
