The best restaurants in Cork

15/06/2024: So expensive good pizza but the price is too high

06/08/2023: My husband and I had a fantastic coffee experience at PickaBean yesterday. The quality of their coffee was absolutely exceptional, leaving us thoroughly impressed. Highly recommended!

06/08/2023: I had a lovely coffee at PickaBean yesterday. The taste and quality of their coffee were delightful, making it an enjoyable experience. I would definitely visit again!

10/09/2024: Cozy Irish pub with delicious complete meals. Open “living room” atmosphere.

20/06/2025: A real time capsule and very cheap

17/04/2025: Recent short getaway with my wife - Lake Lodge room was nice & grounds are beautiful, the restaurant however was a disappointment. With only 3 other couples dining the atmosphere was subdued and very quiet for a Friday evening, Sashimi starter was good - ordered beef cheek & duck for main course with an expensive Rioja to accompany. Rioja arrived stone cold & I enquired if they had one available nearer to room temperature - which apparently wasn't an option. Beef cheek was excellent, the duck however was a different story with 2 of the 3 pieces being inedible, in fact I couldn't cut them with my steak knife. I did bring this to the attention of waiting staff and told they would inform the chef. I heard nothing more about it so ate some potatoes & my wife shared her beef with me to stave off the hunger. We drank less than half the bottle of wine as weren't really enjoying it. I didn't make a fuss as was a special night my wife had planned & looked forward to but I did mention the duck & wine situation when paying the bill without any acknowledgment from the server. I am not criticising her as don't believe she had the authority to do anything but there didn't seem to be anyone senior on the floor & chef was nowhere to be seen. We retired to the bar but as it was empty & didn't have any Jack Daniels which I enjoy on special occasions, we reluctantly called it an early night... overall very disappointing and certainly wouldn't recommend or return - there are lots of very fine restaurants in West Cork which are better than this on all levels...

29/03/2025: Great beef cheek and beautiful sides. Good wine list. Fantastic service.

23/08/2023: Same as previous reviews. Got a fish and chips and a potato pie. Fish and chips were only and the portion of chips was VERY small. Potato pie was very tasty. Staff very friendly.

31/12/2024: Buena comida y personal amable, pero regularmente tengo problemas cuando llego a casa y compruebo el pedido. Esta vez, pedí 4 comidas (2 con chapuzones) , llegué a casa, le faltaba una porción de patatas fritas/patatas fritas y no hay chapuzones : / . . . las chapuzones sin chapuzones están simplemente mal : /

18/07/2024: The coffee at this cafe was lovely, and it is open on a Monday morning unlike many other places in Skibbereen. We also enjoyed the almond croissant!

15/06/2024: Great little place for coffee and the best black pudding sausage rolls.

07/07/2025: Der Service konnte uns hier leider nicht beeindrucken, die Mitarbeiterinnen waren durchweg nicht sehr freundlich und wir haben uns nicht wirklich willkommen gefühlt. Vielleicht haben wir einen schlechten Tag erwischt. Was aber sehr zu empfehlen ist sind die Scones! Noch warm, gerade aus dem Ofen, ein Traum! Preislich war es absolut OK unser kleines Frühstück.
