The best restaurants in Cobh

02/10/2025: Disclaimer - I have yet to meet a scone I didn't like. With that said, not all scones are created equal. Some drier, some denser, some lighter, etc... That all changed yesterday. I experienced the holy grail of scones. Truly! I don't know what kind of wizardry or sorcery is happening in the kitchen; all I can say is this is quite literally, the best scone experience I have ever had. So much so, I went again today. You know, just to make sure. I nearly wept with the last bite, knowing I would not experience this again until my next trip to Cobh. The coup de grâce was the expertly crafted flat white. I know, I know. It sounds too good to be true. Yet, it's not. A place like this really exists and it might just be heaven on earth.

22/09/2025: Had a breakfast, 2 adults full Irish and 2 kiss one had porridge and one had pancakes. Lovely food, maybe a little cold on the breakfast but was OK. The kids porridge is massive maybe that could be made smaller and price reduced as my 12yr old couldn't eat such a big bowl. Coat for us all was just over €40 not overly expensive but definitely not a budget option. Service was brilliant and the ladies couldn't be more helpful. Also love the fact you can donate your re-turn bottles to help the local hospital 🏥❤️❤️

17/10/2025: Very friendly little cafe with beautiful and good food, especially not to be missed if you go to COBH, but above all what you should not miss eating at this place is the chocolate cake, frankly a killer, honestly I have never eaten such a delicious chocolate cake. Go there, trust me.

12/10/2025: Sea Salt is a charming little café in Cobh, offering a cozy atmosphere and a menu full of creative dishes. There are both sweet and savory vegan options, each beautifully presented and delicious. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. A lovely place to relax by the sea — highly recommended!

13/10/2025: I walked through the front door with my phone to my ear giving final directions to my group on how to get there. I stood right inside the front door (it was cold outside) with the door closed behind me and wasn’t in the pub for 5 seconds (literally) before being shouted down by the clown behind the bar yelling for me to get out. Cobh is a beautiful town with great and welcoming pubs, this isn’t one of them. I come to Ireland annually, this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had.

06/09/2025: When you're here, you're home👌🍺

23/09/2025: A must-visit if you're in the area. Friendly service and a great selection of beers

13/09/2025: Great pub, good choices, the bartender Kat was very enchanting talking endlessly about Ireland. Also a surprise appearance by Molly

23/09/2025: We had a great time getting to know the owner!

15/09/2025: Totally comfortable and very friendly staff

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.

02/09/2025: Food lacked flavour. Staff seemed to be disorganised.

31/08/2025: A must for great food and service!! Best ham & cheese toastie I’ve had in many years .. quality and taste! Great value too. Will definitely come back! Lovely warm atmosphere

04/10/2025: They let us get in telling us they would have served food at 5pm, as the kitchen opens at that time. We had a drink in the meantime and waited til 5 to order something to eat. At 5 we asked for the food menu and we were told they're booked out and we cannot have any food. Apart from that, they all had very cold and unwelcoming demeanor. Just a pity, really, as I used to live here and wanted my family and friends to just have a lovely time. 1 star just because 0 is not possible and the view, which clearly is the only lovely thing about the place.

23/09/2025: Great quiet place for some excellent food

27/08/2025: Delicious coffee, amazing beef toastie and lovely staff!

26/08/2025: Thanks, great music, delicious chocolate and coffee with Cookie, and she even gave us one. Plus, she's open late.

21/09/2025: Fantastic, proper original Irish bar (some may say even from the 1940s 😁). Really friendly crowd, great choice of drinks. Don't be put off by the outside, you'll be welcomed in here with proper traditional Irish hospitality. Only a small place but great atmosphere.

17/09/2025: I don't understand the negative review. A great little pub, the staff and the landlord were in a good mood, so we liked it.

06/10/2025: Prettyyyyy pricey. But very good. Best bagels I’ve had outside of the US.

25/09/2025: the best vanilla cheesecake I ever had

09/08/2025: Good ice cream of big portion and good price. Smiley staff and nice seating:)

20/06/2025: Ice cream is amazing best ever and really cheap
