The best restaurants in Cork

16/10/2025: Amazing taste esp the fried salmon risotto

10/10/2025: A simple restaurant with delicious Italian food. In a place where not everything is open on weekends, they were kind enough to adjust the tables so the group wouldn't be separated.

20/12/2025: He food was good but it was very loud usually very busy though

07/06/2026: Really a lovely place! I enjoyed to have a beer before dinner during my stay in Clonakilty. A mixed crowd, a wonderful staff. Great!

05/06/2026: Maggie draper is the best bartender ever. Absolutely top-class bartender. Not only did they remember my drink order after the first round, but they somehow managed to understand my increasingly questionable explanations as the night went on. Their cocktail-making skills are so good that I briefly considered becoming a regular just to watch them work. Friendly, quick, and equipped with the patience of a saint, they kept the drinks flowing and the banter even better. If customer service were an Olympic sport, they’d be standing on the podium while the rest of us were still trying to find our tabs. Highly recommend—though they may have set my expectations for all future bartenders impossibly high.” 🍸😂

30/06/2026: Went here with my brother who was home for a few days for something light to eat for a late lunch. I have allergies so we got the vegetable soup. I got a slice of gf bread with it. It was the nicest vegetable soup I ever ate and the gf bread was delicious. The server on the day was so lovely and helpful. This was just before 4pm on June bank holiday Monday 2026. The views from the restaurant were spectacular and the decore in the restaurant was beautiful. Going in there was a small wooden elephant. I Ioved how each cushion they had inside had a different elephant design on it in a different colour on the widow seats. The bathroom was huge and super clean. €8.70 for soup and bread. For a place like the pink elephant I felt it was a fair price. There is lovely outside weather proof benches where you could also eat in good weather. There is plenty of parking as well. There was another group in the restaurant at the time. An Irish couple with a few people from the USA. It was nice they were having fun and I heard them complementing the food and restaurant to each other.

02/09/2025: The Falafel wrap is great and such a bargain for the price. I've been eating Cork Falafel's wrap for the past 6 months as it's tasty, filling and doesn't leave me feeling sluggish. Perfect quick bite to eat and plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans too.
