The best restaurants in Cork

04/08/2026: Excellent restaurant in a beautiful building. The chicken supreme was the most delicious I’ve had in a long time, and the dessert was excellent as well. Despite the place being fully packed, the food arrived very quickly. Everything was tasty and beautifully presented. The waiter deserves special praise — very polite and gave great food recommendations. Highly recommend.

02/08/2026: Gorgeous conversion of an old church. The food and service are quality and it shows by always being busy. Highly recommend this place if you're in Skibb.

07/07/2026: lovely pub with very friendly staff well worth a visit

26/06/2026: All crew present, beer at the perfect temperature, and a great atmosphere.

19/08/2026: The restaurant is a bit pricey but excellent.

16/08/2026: The restaurant is lovely, in a beautiful location. The waitresses were very friendly and attentive. We were lucky enough to get a table with a sea view, which we loved. We had fish and chips and a Wagyu burger, which was delicious. It gave us the energy to see the fort and walk back to Kinsale, but that's another story :)

20/04/2026: Beautiful food - would recommend the turkish eggs - and very welcoming and friendly team!

17/04/2026: Magnificent breakfast burger and superb coffee with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend…..the mushrooms on toast were also amazing!!

17/08/2026: Great fish and chips. Very tasty.

16/08/2026: Bit of a queue, but for a good reason and worth the wait. Really tasty fish burger, the view and setting adds to the experience. Good starting point also for the castle freke walks.

13/07/2026: Personally it was too noise inside. Food and service were great though

21/06/2026: Amazing sandwiches good coffee and very aesthetic spot to chill

18/08/2026: The food here was fantastic! The potato cakes, beef & Beamish stew and beer battered fish were all top quality. The fish pie was really good once you added a squeeze of lemon juice but I would go back for the other three dishes. Great Guinness too.

13/08/2026: Food was very good, service was friendly, table was sticky (and I really hate that).

09/08/2026: Nice bar with good atmosphere and frequent live music

04/08/2026: Selfservice. Table outside. Crowded area. Live music.

11/08/2026: Excellent. Highly recommended. Small alcoves for dining. Suitable even with young children. Budget-friendly. Very friendly waitress. P.S.: Don't park in the church parking lot... The gate is locked with padlocks at 6:30 pm... 😉 Unless you know the priest.

11/08/2026: Good food in a beautiful Irish pub with all sorts of different nooks and knick-knacks. The Guinness tasted delicious and the food was fine for a pub too.

02/04/2026: Always a pleasure to deal with - excellent service - excellent food and the team are to class! Highly recommend

03/05/2026: A welcoming place with lovely vibes, food is tasty and healthy, they're very accommodating of dietary restrictions, and the staff are smiling and helpful. Its also handy that its attached to An Tobairin health food shop. Definitely a favourite place in Bandon

17/04/2026: Love Danni's café ❤ The food, my favourite cappuccino ☕ and service are outstanding and wonderful 😍 Danni and Nicky are doing such an amazing job 👏 And it's always great to have a little chat with them and other staff including health shop workers. Do go, check it out and you won't get disappointed !

18/08/2026: Best breakfast in skibereen and the staff are lovely.

18/08/2026: We had had breakfast which was delicious and the ladies who served us were accommodateding and very polite. The cost was reasonable.

11/05/2026: I didn’t have a great meal or coffee here. The chia pudding was far too sweet and almost inedible. I couldn’t finish the coffee sadly as it was so poor. I had been recommended this place by a few people but sadly it didn’t live up to the recommendations. I wouldn’t recommend!

05/05/2026: Just ate food in the cafe, we didn't stay. The food is lovely! It's a very cute little spot, perfect for brunch. The staff are very friendly and the food is reasonably priced.

02/08/2026: We visited again last week after a trip to Sherkin Island. The 4 of us shared the mussels as a starter and they were excellent. My 3 guests were Spanish so we all had the Haddock which was excellent, full of flavour. The portion size was modest and the skinney frier were not to my living. We all enjoyed the meal and we'll be back!

01/08/2026: Perfect food, service and atmosphere

26/08/2026: This was our first visit to Max’s but it won’t be our last. We went to Max’s for a birthday dinner and it was genuinely one of our best restaurant experiences in recent memory. The service was brilliant. From calmly and discreetly, asking a very loud group of customers to tone it down to helping us pick between equally delicious-sounding dishes. And just generally being very attentive while not overbearing throughout the whole meal. The food, of course, was delicious. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation and amazing flavours. You could feel the care they put into creating their dishes and preparing the food. Oh, and no matter how full you think you are, don’t skip dessert!

20/08/2026: Came here earlier in the week for my dad’s 60th birthday. Food was outstanding and the service from the staff was excellent. Would recommend to anyone visiting Kinsale to have a meal here!
