The best restaurants in Cork

10/06/2024: I witnessed an older member of staff getting verbally abused. I regret supporting this establishment.

18/10/2024: This place is gods gift to Macroom. Pizzas are the best I ever had and I lived in Italy for 3 years.

09/06/2024: Lovely homemade food small wait cause cooked fresh

29/07/2023: Got eskimo pizza with ham sausage and chicken the pizza was dry and I swear to god you could break your teeth off the chicken it was so tough and dry

28/07/2023: Really rude manager who barks orders at the employees and is also rude to customers. The food also is not good.

04/09/2024: From the journey over to Heir on the 2pm ferry - €6 return (no charge for those with a travel pass) to the return journey at 4pm we just had a fab time. The lovely weather was a welcome addition to the experience. There is an inclined 10-15 min walk up from the pier to Island Cottage where we were greeted by Ellmary. The menu is no choice and I mean No choice. There is no wine list, however a very nice French red & white wine are available to diners. We sat at a communal dining table with some lovely people. The food is wonderful: medium-rare steak with a buttery mash on a red pepper jus (I could be wrong on this but it was lovely) followed by the lightest of lemon soufflé, Tea/Coffee with home made biscuits finished up the experience. We never actually caught sight of John the chef, as we left to catch the 4pm ferry - however we could hear the industry & smell the aromas eminating from the kitchen. Well done to you both. I look forward to returning.

28/07/2024: An amazing intimate restaurant experience. No menu choice. It is what it is and that’s that. Starter, mains and desert service with tea or coffee for €25! Wine available by the glass or bottle. We sat at a table of 8 and got to have cross table conversations with two lovely ladies and an actor and his Kazakstan partner. The setting was intimate and we got a sneak peek into the tiny kitchen with the husband cheffing. The steak and mash on a lovely sauce followed by a soufflé that melted in your mouth. The others at the table missed their ferry boat back and so we gave them a jaunt back .. So if you want an experience and to meet some fab people and have some lovely food try and book at table . Booking open 10am Tuesdays !

07/12/2024: The shredded chicken is very tasty and crispy! The king prawn toast is also super delicious! So yummy and crispy! Definitely will come back!

26/11/2024: Absolutely filthy premises. From entrance door on the ground floor, up the stairs and in the large room where you must stand to wait for your order. A curtain is used to hide the kitchen from the customers. This is filthy and when it was pulled back I could clearly see upright glass door and full door fridges which all had items of clothing or other non food or kitchen related items in top of them. I didn't once see the lady who took my order wash her hands after handling notes and coins. Hand washing should be a priority and it should be visible to Joe and Josephine public to witness, in order to put our minds at rest. In my dish I found the nib of a biro (pen). I telephoned to inform them and was offered another meal. I have never returned and I never will.

22/10/2023: Best chipper around! Food cooked to perfection. The staff are always very friendly and polite and very fast service. I would definitely recommend LJ's 100%.

23/07/2023: This shop is DISGRACEFUL!!!! My nan who’s 90 year old with dementia came in here for a lovely battered sausage and coke but she left with her sausage battered. I have informed the guards and this poor family business is going to be a subject of a robbery next Friday night. Be aware then I will be wearing all black.

15/08/2024: Perfect coffee topped with cocoa :)

30/11/2024: Lovely local Cafe with nice staff. A small sandwich menu with loads of cakes & pies.

01/10/2024: Great quick meal for a roadtrip/pit stop. Found a handful of food trucks on the way to Killarney and so we stopped and decided to try coasties! So delicious and exactly what I needed to fill my stomach, all while being super delicious. I got one with ham and it was very filling. The sauce they use is super tasty!

15/09/2024: Excellent ! To try if you are passing through the area!!
