The best restaurants in Cork

12/10/2025: Got a takeaway and the food was excellent...

03/11/2025: Amazing friendly staff great value

08/09/2025: Delicious rhubard tart with decent cream and filling. Nice cappucino. Service with smile. I love it.

05/11/2025: The cafe at the Midleton Distillery is a lovely spot to relax before or after your tour. It’s perfect for enjoying a nice breakfast or a good cup of coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to unwind while soaking in the distillery’s charm. Whether you’re visiting for the whiskey experience or just passing by, it’s definitely worth stopping in for a peaceful break.

15/10/2025: One of the nicest chowders I have had in a while! Salad options also delicious

23/01/2026: I love coming here every time I visit Fermoy. My favourites would be the sweet and sour chicken. You cannot go wrong, everything is yummy.

31/12/2025: Latest Edit: Gave it another go just now, the sweet and sour chicken was so watered down! The 'sauce' was so watery! The chicken pieces were soggy since they could just absorb so much from the 'sauce' .. it seriously tasted like dishwater and the soggy chicken was stringy :/ talk about a nose dive in quality Edit: Over the last year or so, the dishes seem to be a bit watered down. My most recent order involved getting a call from their delivery driver telling me the €5 delivery charge should be €7.50 because I was living 200meters past his personal cutoff point for €5. For a €75 order, it's a bit nit picking and bad form. They should contact their online ordering site on this if it's that much of an issue for them and their driver. Cancelled my order and will go elsewhere from now on.

19/12/2025: Don’t waste your money. Food was terrible. Staff were rude when I tried to request my drink that I paid for and told me it would be an extra charge.

06/12/2025: Terrible food, rude staff. No excuse for this. Would not recommend.

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.

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

10/01/2026: I must say that going to the kilkenny shop and browsing around there with my friend is a joy ..the staff are so helpful and friendly ..we always enjoy having lunch in the cafe too when we visit ..the food is great and the staff there are very friendly and helpful also especially the lady called Trish !

14/10/2025: Excellent coffee and cakes whilst my wife shops

02/10/2025: Wonderful food, Niall was warm and welcoming and was happy to look up which of the wines were veggie. Thai red curry and mushroom tagliatelle were absolutely delicious.

21/09/2025: The food looks delicious. It tastes just as good. The menu is written on a chalkboard placed at the table, making it easy to read even without reading glasses. Pleasant music plays in the background, not too loud; it truly creates a welcoming atmosphere. The decor is spacious and filled with elephants. The view is breathtaking!

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 :-)

18/09/2025: Great pub, Bernard is a great owner who enjoys the craic and music. Had a couple of great night's in the pub in the beautiful village of glengarriff.

04/09/2025: Feel a bit wrong reviewing as we rushed through, but it appeared as if it had Beamish!! Signs for Beamish, Murphys and Guinness, so your 3 major Irish stouts. Was a biker group and whole town was packed so we didnt get a chance to stop. Charming little town though! 2:30pm on a Sunday, August 24 2025.

10/10/2025: I spent 3 days here for a family reunion. Booking was easy and check in was even easier with it all organised before arrival. I stayed in a pod. I was cute and cosy with everything you would need for your stay. The location was so beautiful and having your own beach with stroll along was great. The only thing that would have made this even better was if the restaurant was open. Honestly if it was we would have dined there every day. Thankfully castletownbere wasn't far away to get something to ear. I will definitely return.

04/08/2025: A fantastic location with beautiful view to the sea!!There is a small pebble beach with access from the pods!!!!

11/12/2025: Although we had no booking we were received in the VIP sit down area, and what an experience that was. The atmosphere was delightful and only bettered by the 5 star service we received. Incredible experience. The beef black bean was delicious. Would highly recommend.

18/11/2025: For the prizes , the kind staff and variety it's wonderful, one couple are the owners and the chefs , real asiatic vibes

18/10/2025: Cozy place, great service, I loved the menu.

12/10/2025: Lovely place...coffee is very nice and the boys loved the waffles...
