The best restaurants in Cork

08/03/2025: Went with family for dinner last night. The food was excellent from starters to deserts the portions were very generous. The atmosphere was great in the lovely open space. From booking to leaving the staff were wonderful with all 11 of us agreeing it would be hard to beat. Thanks for a fantastic evening.

08/02/2025: This is our go to as locals. The food is always top quality and the portion sizes are such great value for money. Have been at least 3 times within the last couple of months and collectively had a handful of things from the menu and cannot fault any of it. We also appreciate the fact that you can get any of the mains as half portions, because then my daughter can get anything she wants from the main/specials menu without being limited to the usual "kids meals". The only small thing would be that there are no roast potatoes on the roasts, but that doesn't stop us from coming back. We enjoy the relaxed atmosphere too. Overall very happy customers and will continue going back.

23/04/2024: This is a lovely hotel we stayed last Saturday night it was extremely busy 3 functions going on which we didn't mind. But they did not give us the hotel room which I booked but rather put us in a log cabin on arrival we were informed we got a upgrade which to honest wasn't in our opinion the bed was a very small double and typical of Ireland badly finished no point having sink tables chairs and kettle if u have no fridge or microwave. This was OK for us wecwere only staying overnight but we booked a table for 2 on arrival for 7.30 but it wasn't kept so we ended up eating very late near to 9 o clock. It was a lovely meal in fairness but overall we felt a bit cheated surely they should ring u if they don't have the room u booked and then when leaving I got told the bill was 222 euros great I said but it wasn't there was 254 euros taken from account they added on tax of 23% and 13.5% should have been said. As a result I would nt come back shame.

10/02/2026: Sean and his staff are brilliant to customers and the pub has a good atmosphere along with it!

03/05/2026: Fantastic! I'll definitely be back. I've been dreaming of a place like this. Thank you so much for the attention and care you put into it.

27/12/2025: Class wee bar, great prices, lovely beer and amazing staff! Just a proper Irish bar.

04/10/2025: Very friendly atmosphere and food excellent

12/02/2026: Stopped in on my way from cork to Kerry , always superb food, and very friendly service

28/07/2025: Really reasonable, delicious food. We went for lots of small plates, devoured by adults and kids alike. Really enjoyed it!

08/06/2025: Good clean food at a very reasonable price, excellent service and very very tasty. Would highly recommend the chicken with black bean or the veggie bento box.

20/08/2025: Not impressed really, it's OK here. The food is well presented but fairly bland, dressed with sauces to give it some flavour. This really is a restaurant for older people who stay in the hotel. It tastes like mostly frozen products and at hotel prices. Not for me I'm afraid. Not a bad place, just not good enough to return.

31/05/2025: Disappointing! The best thing about the restaurant is the interior. We had mussels in white wine sauce twice, and until today I couldn't believe it was possible to make them so badly. The mussels were dry, lukewarm, and came in a mere dollop of sauce. They tasted as if they had been cooked for a while beforehand and then simply added to the plate with the sauce. There was more than enough garlic baguette, but for €18.50, there should have been a few more mussels (with some flavor!). The water with fresh lemon served for washing hands was still warmer than the mussels, even after we had finished eating. Unfortunately, a disappointment with a dish that could have been prepared so easily.
