The best restaurants in Cork

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

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.

16/02/2025: My friend Ivy's family owns this place

26/11/2024: First time stopping here this evening as I pass it most days coming home. Reading the good reviews said I would give it a go. The reviews were not lying, the food was so good. Place is worth the stop, I will be back for sure

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.

23/09/2024: They no longer provide accommodations.

22/12/2023: One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The food was beautifully prepared and served promptly. It was delicious and a very full portion. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. There was a good atmosphere. The music was a little old, but each song was a classic. Highly recommended and worth a try. Thanks for a great meal.

27/10/2023: Aroi has been a delightful surprise in the quaint town of Carrigaline. Despite my initial reservations in a smaller locale, this establishment exceeded all expectations with its exceptional menu offerings. Our recent visit saw us savoring the Hong Kong Chicken and Teriyaki Duck Donburi, both of which left an indelible impression. The Hong Kong chicken, reminiscent of Panda Express's Orange Chicken in the United States, was a flavor-packed delight. The Teriyaki Duck Donburi, equally commendable, exhibited an exquisite fusion of flavors and a generous selection of vegetables. Aroi's cocktail selection is a testament to their dedication to culinary excellence. The Espresso Martini, in particular, was a standout. Before our main course, we indulged in the Thai calamari starter, which truly transported our taste buds. The use of chili icons on the menu to indicate the spiciness level of each dish is a testament to the restaurant's authenticity and thoughtfulness, making it easy for patrons to select dishes tailored to their preferences. This level of attention to detail is much appreciated, and it genuinely reflects the authentic Asian culinary experience. Moreover, the staff at Aroi is not only attentive but also a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend Aroi to anyone seeking a truly authentic and exceptional dining experience in Carrigaline. It's a gem in this small town and a testament to the culinary prowess of the team behind it.

27/07/2025: An excellent Pub and B&B. The atmosphere is always great with the weekend music and craic. The owners, Mary and Ger Galvin are always welcoming and warm.
