The best restaurants in Cork

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

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, full meals. Open, living room atmosphere.

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 : /

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.

11/06/2025: La cocina Dinastía es asquerosa al no importar el olor dentro de allí las mujeres dentro de allí es muy grosera ella no tiene modales o conciencia de sí misma Yo estuve allí recientemente para la cena y saqué un pelo negro sucio de mi cena y las mujeres no les importó y ella todavía me cobró, no voy a volver a esto 💩🕳️

04/08/2025: Friendly staff, great food, great prices

02/06/2025: Don’t be fooled by the fast food sign outside. This is neither fast nor food. We wasted an hour in this place- they served everyone before and after us, all sorts of complicated orders but couldn’t give us our food. We left insulted after the hour. And also the food we saw everyone else get looked very basic. Not proper chipper chips.

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.

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.

03/09/2025: Took over a month to get my voucher, very disappointed had previously used the service and had no issues. This time though they took my money and I never realized until the person I sent the voucher too never mentioned receiving it .so I asked did they receive it and they hadn't a clue. After ringing and emailing Niamh and using the website forms and leaving numerous messages I eventually got a response only to say they had no recoded of it. Normally I wouldn't write these reviews but I feel it needs to be said. After a bit of back and forth eventually they came across it. Personally I wouldn't use the service again. A lot to be said for a digital voucher.

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.
