01/06/2025: Lovely restaurant and lovely food. Staff very friendly.

30/04/2025: It was my first time there and it was really lovely. Not too big yet plenty of space. Staff were extremely helpful. We just had a simple breakfast and it was great. No loud music, just nice background music. Easy to chat. I will be back for definite.

26/04/2025: Close your eyes and picture the perfect little pub. The Tap Tavern is it!

23/04/2025: Had a gorgeous few pints on a wet Tuesday afternoon, fantastic atmosphere!!

16/04/2025: Top 3 best pints of Guinness I’ve ever had.

06/04/2025: I ate a delicious monkfish. Very friendly service, all in a friendly, family atmosphere.

27/02/2025: Always great, friendly service and such amazing, seasonal and delicious menu.

27/04/2025: Finders Inn, Nohoval is warm, cosy, full of character and charm. The food is top class - always - with plenty to choose from. My favourites the hors d'oeuvre or Seafood in Filo pastry to start followed by Cassoulet of Seafood or Rack of Lamb for mains (I find it very difficult to choose!) Delicious sides (included in price) potato gratin, roasted vegetables and chips add to make this a 10/10 meal on flavour every time. We LOVE coming to Finders for a night out. It’s the best restaurant as far as I’m concerned.

25/04/2025: Excellent meal, lovely old world atmosphere, This restaurant is a little gem

29/04/2025: Pasta was delicious, pizza base slightly doughy. Overall we enjoyed the food. Would definately go back.

26/03/2025: The pasta is delicious, and the banoffe is the best

18/05/2025: We feel very lucky to have managed to get in to this little gem of a restaurant on our last night in Ireland. A short menu of freshly made dishes. Great! All options were imaginative, packed with flavour and beautifully presented. Portions were a perfect size - not too big. We cleared our plates at each course - no waste and we were replete. And to accompany the lovely food, we enjoyed a bottle of reasonably priced French vermentino, which we have taken details of and hope to find again. We finished with a small glass of the ‘sticky’ of our choice wi the our deserts. Staff were all charming. We loved this place. Get there if you can.

15/05/2025: Nice atmosphere, very helpful staff. The food is nice but that is all. It absolutely doesn't meet the standards that the very high prices suggest. Approaching €60 for starter, main course, dessert, coffee ( none of them memorable) means we won’t make a return visit anytime soon, sorry.

24/05/2025: O’Neill is a family name and loved the look of this place. Small and quirky, with friendly staff. Had a beautifully moist carrot cake with coffee. Served straight away but not long before a queue formed and niw you know why. Do call !

20/05/2025: Good coffee, nice pastry and cosy interior.

03/05/2025: Had breakfast during the week. Food was good , only warm, not hot , which is disappointing. Waitresses were friendly. Outside area was busy which seemed to cause confusion as none of the servers seemed to know which table food and drink belonged to. The whole experience was let down the rude hostess, who has no people skills.

23/04/2025: It's alright it nothing to write home about. It's dark and not very welcoming though it was fairly busy. You cannot go to the counter to look at what Is available foodwise you must order from the menu and then look for a place to sit down it's not suitable for people in a wheelchair as the seating is mostly cubical style. I was not impress by the quality of the food or the building layout but there are really not many options in fermoy we found. It must be the worst town we have ever been in as regards a decent resturant where wholesome food can be got there is no decent down to earth resturants anywhere in fermoy that serves decent breakfasts,dinners etc it appears that all is available are coffee style cafes in the town, they do know how to charge for everything. Not my cup of tea really but others think differently as it was fairly busy when I visited.

08/05/2025: Pros food good..staff nice Cons..if you are going to charge 18 euro for a full breakfast for the love of God give more than one slice of toast and include coffee. Charging for tea as extra is a joke.

28/04/2025: Nice breakfast. Fancy decorating

02/05/2025: Bridge House Bar is a nice spot with atmosphere and friendly staff. Perfect for a casual night out or a quick stop.

13/01/2025: Lovely pub, with a cosy fire in the colder months. 👌

29/04/2025: Very friendly and efficient staff and a nice place but the food was disappointing.

20/04/2025: The food was delicious, this photo is the herb roasted chicken, staff were friendly and fast, and overall we had a great night. Will defiantly return.
