The best restaurants in Cork

16/06/2024: Our experience exceeded expectations. We were looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate a wedding anniversary while on holiday. The staff was very accommodating and the food was exceptionally good and not overpriced.

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.

27/04/2024: Really good and authentic traditional Indian cuisine. Served by lovely and attentive people. Had the Farahi and it was delicious

24/09/2024: Really good food in a warm pub setting: the breaded hake I ordered was perhaps the best plate of fish and chips I’ve had in Ireland and my wife loved her dish of cottage pie. Great service, great atmosphere and good prices,

24/08/2024: Arrives au hasard dans ce pub comme il pleuvait, le lieu était bondé alors nous nous sommes installés à 3 au bar. Une soupe du jour excellente et deux salades. Accueil cordial et service rapide.

10/04/2025: Great food, in a beautiful location and served by friendly people. I recommend the burger. Real local Irish beef. Reasonable prices.

09/01/2025: First of all, staff are welcoming and helpful. Varied choice of cakes and great selection of freshly made sandwiches. Black coffee was great, which is so hard to find. Revisit!

07/08/2024: Really nice food, good atmosphere! Most importantly the staff are so friendly.
