The best restaurants in Cork

07/09/2025: I ate here recently with a group of friends and I was very excited but left extremely frustrated and disappointed. The service was very slow the manager seemed flustered and was very passive aggressive to the young waitress and our table as well. We waited over an hour for our main and all the other tables seemed to be getting seen to and served before us. We asked for a dip that never came. We had to ask for our bill twice as the manager just ignored our request the first time. The food as well was rather flavourless and wasn’t exactly as described on menu. The young waitress was very nice and was doing her best. I simply will not be returning here in the future. Very disappointed!!!!

21/07/2025: The owner of this restaurant must be the rudest most unwelcoming person we have ever encountered. We were left standing in a busy restaurant for 20 minutes and completely ignored despite having made a booking. We then waited another 30 minutes to have our order taken. I was shocked to see the way the owner was speaking to people who were coming in to see if a table was available. She truly treats every customer as an inconvenience. When we were waiting for dessert we overheard the owner telling the staff to take our order fast as she has another booking coming in. This delay was completely their fault. I ordered wine with dessert which was completely ignored and the bill was slapped down on our table. I believe we only got an opportunity to order dessert as it was included in the 2 course menu. This place must be purely running on tourism because nobody in their right mind would return.

15/07/2025: Kebabs in this place are best I have ever eaten top class spot and not dear how in God's name are these places away cheaper than supermacs beyond me supermacs is good but prices ridiculous and it's not that the staff are being paid that well

27/06/2025: Favourite take away in mallow nice portions lots of spices

31/08/2025: I was in there last night and I'm not from the area very friendly staff good crowd of different ages no trouble i watched the football had a few beers happy out but i will say the toilets need an upgrade badly 👍

25/06/2025: Good spot for a few pints..staff nice amd friendly

06/09/2025: Great service, excellent food! Thank you

22/08/2025: Ordered the set menu for two yesterday evening. Was told 20mins. Arrived at the restaurant with a warm welcome. Make you feel so welcome. Have being coming here for years. Food was spectacular as always ❤️

10/09/2025: This hotel should be condemned. Our accommodations were terrible. The room smelled like Clorox. We were told we could not have dinner in the bar because there was a funeral and when we returned for a night cap, someone in the funeral party vomited all over the floor in front of us. The shower diverter was broken, scolding hot, no way to adjust. The hallway and stair carpets were dirty and smelled. Should have read reviews as this same issues were mentioned as far back as Covid 19 and obviously have not been addressed! Bad deal. We could not run out of there fast enough! There are better options 20 minutes down the road!!

07/09/2025: I rode my bike in pouring rain for half the day, this was the only place that had vacancy. Might as well have been heaven. The pub / restaurant oozes authenticity and what a wonderful view to boot. Fish n chips and their goat cheese salad? Unreal. I’ll take this over a cookie cutter hotel any day.

08/04/2025: 3.30 for a miniature battered sausage crazy which was bland , onion rings greasy and soggy batter, chips greasy ovevel terrible

01/01/2025: Very disappointed! Food arrived an hour and 20 minutes after ordering. And when food arrived it was barely Luke warm. Order had said it was out for delivery 20 mins before it arrived and no apology from delivery just a happy new year. Very disappointed with this!

15/03/2025: Friendly staff. I regularly order a portion of fried noodles and a portion of mixed vegetables. Their vegetables have a better mix (more of different types of veggies) than the other Chinese restaurant in town, (I've ordered the same in the other place too).

07/08/2025: Ordered Online, Plain hot dog and chips with a taco sauce, not a hard order to be made fresh. Order was to be collected at 22:20 arrived up order was waiting and under a hot lamp. Chips were lukewarm hotdogs bun was stale and the taco sauce was gone bad 👌 this stuff should be made to order

01/08/2025: Food was good. Service was also good. Would eat here again.

12/08/2025: Top quality food at affordable price - we got takeout so cant comment on atmosphere but food and service was top class!

05/07/2025: very nice food... Best in midleton

31/08/2025: This is a joke I went in to get food and they would not take card payments bc it was not over 20 euro

12/08/2025: Not as good as it used to be. Disappointed with the last takeaway, a chicken chow mein. It lacked flavour. it just just blah

27/07/2025: Got potato pies yesterday evening delicious 😋 2 very friendly staff members behind the counter..must try more from menu

03/07/2025: brilliant football club and amazing food for splendid prices, absolute legend who runs the place too

12/09/2025: Very nice good tastes very fresh. Mam behind the counter has a very friendly face the interior could do with some brightening up love the place still

08/08/2025: The pizza at Enzo's Family Restaurant in Fermoy was truly delicious – we had a great meal on our first visit. However, on our second visit, we brought our dog with us and were disappointed to find that the restaurant is not dog-friendly. This was really frustrating, as our dog is a well-behaved family member and as clean and well-mannered as any other guest. It’s a shame that, because of this, we can no longer return, even though the food itself was fantastic. A more dog-friendly policy would really improve the overall experience.

14/08/2025: I waited for my food for 30 minutes when I got it, it was cold, and there was no taste at all, horrible.

10/08/2025: Supposed to be open until 1am went there at 12.30 and door was closed, very disappointed 😞

20/05/2025: Closed, not in operations. Sad to see places like that closed to the public

28/02/2025: Superb hotel with a great sauna swimming pool gym steam room and outside a beautiful beach and another sauna and coffee shop fabulous staff.
