The best restaurants in Clonakilty

10/08/2025: 5 staff behind the bar more interested in talking to each other than serving customers. Then when we did get attention, they were extremely rude....certainly won't be back for the service

13/07/2025: I dunno what the heck is wrong with this place. I'm new to Cork, Clonakilty and Ireland in general and was denied entry simply because I was alone. Although I've never been in.... I'll certainly never be back. Head to GG's instead! These guys are funny as hell saying they were closing at 21:00. Lots of lads had said the "security" staff packing roofies. Didn't believe it until that night.

15/07/2025: the interior is unbelievably beautiful and really comfy, they have a lot of drafts, the bartender was very nice and they were playing an emo song, i loved this place

03/07/2025: An amazing place with fantastic trad live music. Enjoyable drinks no food eaten that day there

16/08/2025: If you are looking for good food then avoid this restaurant. For drinks and a night out it may be different but as a restaurant the food is awful. Six of us went for dinner… starters and mains. Everything was below par. Much better places in Clon to go for dinner.

15/08/2025: I ordered fish and chips thinking it was fresh fish a resturant near the sea.but after a half an hour rubbish arrived.With a tang off it.Even the water had a tang off it. Can't say anything high about my meal only the price I will not be back John.

23/05/2025: Great homemade sandwiches and cakes, great location

13/05/2025: We had a wonderful time at Cafe On The Lane. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Lots of fresh pastries, cakes, etc. and a good selection of savoury sandwiches too. Reasonably priced and the quality of the food and drinks is fantastic. Very cute decor too.

04/07/2025: I went to this restaurant after reading the google reviews and I must say that I was not disappointed at all. The food was amazing because all seafood dishes pasta, chowder, prawn curry etc. amazing food and service was good. Highly recommended!!

04/08/2025: Great food, coffee and, hot chocolate! Great atmosphere as well!

20/07/2025: The food was amazing,but the staff were just too serious.

07/06/2025: We dropped in for a coffee and a pastry but ended up choosing a cheese muffin as it looked delicious—and it lived up to our expectations. We also purchased a potato sourdough which has a hint of nutmeg (a German influence). The member of staff was very friendly and passionate about his craft and the produce. He also speaks fluent German, which came in handy as one client seemed to only speak German. If we lived locally we would shop here on a daily basis - but only after joining the local gym. We arrived just before 9am on a Saturday and customers were soon queuing down out the door, which is a great endorsement of the quality of the produce. Great coffee too. We also purchased a slice of coffee and walnut cake and apple strudel to take away. Both were very good - the strudel wasn't too sweet and was lightly spiced, and the coffee and walnut cake was extremely light, sweet - but not sickly and very delicious. Don't miss this place.

29/04/2025: Small bakery with pastries and cafe. Very warm and friendly proprietors.

09/06/2025: We were traveling around in out Campervan. We stayed the night in the carpark beside the community centre. We walked into the pub to watch the Rugby match. We were made very welcome by the staff and the customers. We had great crack and the Murphys was very nice. Thank you for your hospitality.

21/04/2025: As always a lovely place for a few drinks and a chat.

08/06/2025: Had the classic. Great home made sausage with just the right spices. Roll held together till the end. Onions and peppers were tender and fresh.

04/06/2025: Contained in the huge English Market SC ,this place stands out from all the other exceptional vendors. Just a small stall with usually only 3 workers, it can turn out food to die for. All sandwiches are make rite on the spot. You can customize or order any of the house specials. Grab a special, find a quiet spot, (not possible) and enjoy.

25/05/2025: Very nice spot, the food is gorgeous. Highly recommend it ❤️

08/04/2025: Tasty food. Quick service. Friendly staff. Had the eggs & feta and the ham/cheese omelette. Wheelchair /ability friendly. Lovely outside area for a sunny day.

08/07/2025: we visited here recently as part of the South of Ireland band championships and played outside the premises. a special mention and thank you to the owner for her help and kind words! Visited the pub later in the evening and it was a great spot, everyone so friendly and music was excellent! thanks all!
