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 🏥❤️❤️

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👌🍺

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!

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

21/10/2025: Popular, convenient local, and fun atmosphere. Belly up and get your pints at the bar, and if you're lucky, you find a seat or a place to stand. It's a gathering place, we did find a table in the back room, tvs with football, and music playing. Worth a stop. During day hours, there is outside seating too, with fabulous views.

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

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.

18/10/2025: Totally recommend Ellen's Kitchen, she has a lovely team working there and the food is always stunning from sandwiches to scones ,dinners to soup we have never been disappointed 👏👏

27/09/2025: We spotted this cafe on google and worked out it is quicker to get off the train station before Cobh to get there. The food was amazing and such a selection of cakes 🍰. The staff were so friendly I would highly recommend going here if visiting Cobh , it was a lovely 20 min walk along the waters edge to arrive in Cobh.

20/10/2025: We were immediately warmly received by Steve, the barkeep with superb Irish coffees and friendly conversation after our overnight flight from the States. He, along with the other local gents at the bar, gave us a solid recommendations for local food and fare in Cobh and other towns along our way. Slightly apart from the crowds and bulk of the other waterfront pubs, Connie Doolan's offers a heartfelt welcome, smooth drinks, and authentic local atmosphere. I'll always cherish my first and best drink in Ireland at Connie Doolan's! And cheers to the Sunday-drinkin' gents at the bar and our laughs together!

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.

26/10/2025: Great jazz evening with a friend . Cool live music . Brilliant friendly staff Super wine and cheese board Fantastic atmosphere 😎

09/10/2025: The burrata is stellar, good wine list, lovely staff

13/11/2025: Waitress took our order wrong. We ordered 2 mains and 1 starter. Recieved 1 main and 1 starter. When i asked where our main was he laughed. The customer service here has been terrible the last 3 times we came. Unfortunately we won't be going anymore.

26/10/2025: Wonderful pub for great food and drink and a history lesson!

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

01/09/2025: One of the best shakes I've ever had!
