The best restaurants in Cork

06/10/2025: A great place to shop with very friendly, professional and helpful staff. As someone who hates the hassle of shopping with a passion (I genuinely do) this place is just an absolute godsend to me. I've made two online orders over the past few weeks so far and both have been perfect. Both orders were meticulously packed, also a lovely personal touch with a nice message in both orders. I was worried about the cost to them as my second order was quite bulky with large items for delivery to Dublin, but it was not a problem. Really nice people to deal with and it's a genuine pleasure to shop there. Thank you.

03/10/2025: Everything you could want from a small family-run business. Mueslis and granolas are delicious with plenty to choose from. Buying in bulk saves money and ensures you have a good supply. Delivery is swift and packaging is excellent. It's the go-to site for all organic.

05/12/2025: Beautiful breakfast there this morning. Would definitely recommend.

02/12/2025: We absolutely loved having breakfast here! The staff were so friendly and always smiling! We wanted to try the famous Irish Breakfast, which was incredible—so delicious! Our children had the French toast with Nutella and banana, which was also excellent! They also had tea, coffee, milk, apple juice, orange juice, and hot chocolate with marshmallows. A fantastic place, we highly recommend it!

21/11/2025: Love the new refurbished look, kept faithful to the old look, a classic pub/restaurant 👌

16/11/2025: Cronin's of Crosshaven is an institution! Wonderful location, great food & drink but, most important, excellent staff that are attentive & 'real'. I love the banter & the attention to detail. Buala bas!

21/11/2025: Great, everything was delicious and the service was fast. Good value.

03/10/2025: Perfect place and food in Fermoy

02/11/2025: I really enjoyed my meal here, the food was fantastic and the staff were incredible. The atmosphere was wonderful and the hand-painted art on the walls of the restaurant as well as on the stairs when going up were beautiful, the place seems like a real labour of love and it’s obvious every member of staff take huge pride in this restaurant. There are a large variety of options on the menu and the portions were huge! We were seated by the window and had a great view of the town, and the staff were very welcoming and friendly and made every effort to ensure we were all happy and didn’t need anything. One man in particular made an effort to chat with my family and even brought a complimentary dessert to celebrate my father’s birthday which was really kind, I wish we got his name because he was a very generous host. The lamb kofta was absolutely gorgeous and I will definitely be back to try more options on the menu as they all looked delicious and it was a struggle to pick just one. The menu also included vegetarian and vegan options so it’s suitable for pretty much anyone, as well as a play area for young kids which is very thoughtful. Thanks so much to all the staff for making a wonderful evening for my family, I have absolutely no complaints and will definitely be a returning customer!

24/10/2025: Had a really fabulous night at Salinas, Orla was amazing and was so helpful and accommodating! Couldn’t recommend enough !!

29/11/2025: Authentic pub in a charming town. Great food, friendly staff - our waiter Jack McCarthy was very attentive. Will definitely be back! Loved it here.

27/11/2025: Great Sunday roast with lots of veggies, topped off with delicious sticky toffee pudding. We sat in a booth that was very warm and cozy - great atmosphere all around. Service was great - our server Jack McCarthy was very attentive and friendly. Very welcoming to Canadian guests!!

01/10/2025: Great seafood, we had been recommended by the tourist guide in Kinsale, so happy it lived up to his recommendation as from the outside one would bit think yo go in - very unassuming but obviously old. Small & a bit cramped inside & too cold to sit out when we were there although there is a sizable garden with seats & tables.

30/09/2025: We enjoyed an excellent dinner here in a lovely country pub setting on our holidays

11/10/2025: Good price of €159 (October 2025) w/o breakfast for a twin room. Nice size of room, good bed linen, etc. the check in and check out was very quick too. Good parking space.

07/10/2025: As a recent visitor to Carrigaline from Australia, I ventured into the Carrigaline Court Hotel on a rainy, windy evening and was highly impressed by the experience. The ambience was warm and inviting, staff were friendly, professional and efficient. When we entered the bar area, we served by a young girl named Anna, who proved to be knowledgeable on menu, helpful on all levels, highly attentive, and performed her tasks with a smile and friendly word for all clientele. Thank you for a short but very enjoyable experience. We will be back!

12/06/2025: What a beautiful house with a garden. You should definitely go there and enjoy it ❣️

09/06/2025: Only available for a tour of the house. Beautiful grounds, very well-maintained garden. The house is clearly in need of renovation, but that doesn't detract from its charm. Unfortunately, no photos allowed inside.

02/12/2025: I am fond of this restaurant. The service and food are both really good. It is always busy which speaks for itself.

01/12/2025: Lovely place first visit here and was very impressed

04/11/2025: We came across this amazing cafe recently and it was the best experience. The staff were super lovely and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend!

15/10/2025: Really nice food and lovely staff. Beautiful decor. Would highly recommend.

30/03/2025: The staff and service was lovely, ordering and serving was fast. However, the food was bad. The lasagne was watery and cold, the chips were half cooked and was soaking with oil as if it was sat in oil and it felt like it was microwaved. The lasagne had little to no flavour and the only thing I ate was the garlic bread. The brownie was okay as well but was cold. The service and the staff were amazing throughout the whole experience but food wise, wasn’t the best.

29/03/2025: This place was busy but our food was served quickly. We had the roast beef special and it was amazing.

25/09/2025: Fabulous especially with a group

20/09/2025: Totally unexpected. Great food,nice presentation,lovely staff.

04/08/2025: Will definitely be back for the Turkey & Ham, so delicious 🤤 The breakfast (all day?!?) was really lovely and €14 is a relatively okay price for the size and included tea. The waiters were really friendly and the outdoor seating is gorgeous

03/08/2025: Very tasty good and friendly staff
