The best restaurants in Cobh

15/05/2026: Great place for a good pint in a great pub. Great staff, friendly crowd, good for watching rugby.

09/05/2026: Nice pub in Cobh. About 10 minutes climb up to the pub from the water. No food service.

13/05/2026: Best pint of Guinness on or visit to Ireland

12/05/2026: Coolest bar in Cobh. Great pints, live music, Irish coffee, clean bathrooms, good banter with the bartender, a story about Paul Rudd and "hate racism" banners. What's not to love

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!

27/12/2025: Dog-friendly, dogs allowed inside

20/12/2025: A cozy café in Cobh with an absolutely delicious orange hot chocolate topped with marshmallows a real must-do at Christmas. Official approval from France 🇫🇷 looking forward to coming back

06/05/2026: After walking the town and spending some time down by the harbor just taking it all in, I figured it was time to grab a bite. I made my way over to Kelly’s Pub, settled in, and kept it simple with a Jameson, ginger, and lime. No luck on food; no pub toasty this time. Slight disappointment there. But honestly, it didn’t take much away from the stop. It was one of those smaller, quieter pubs where you’re not there for anything flashy, just a drink and a moment to sit. I stayed for a bit, listening to the staff talking back and forth, the kind of easy conversation that tells you this place runs on familiarity more than anything else. Even without the food, it was still a solid pause in the day.

05/05/2026: If you're looking for a truly quaint spot, this pub is a must-see. It's located right on the beautiful seaside promenade, and the atmosphere is truly Irish. I drank an excellent Guinness, expertly poured. Keep in mind that they don't serve hot meals or food, so if you're feeling peckish, your only option is the classic bag of chips (which always go well with beer). Prices are absolutely average for the area. Highly recommended for a refreshing drink.

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.

04/12/2025: Very friendly staff, good food, good coffee, good prices!

15/11/2025: Authentic, peaceful, and everything was delicious. Gluten-free options also available.

12/05/2026: We only stopped for a drink. Very nice terrace and a great selection of beers 😁

06/05/2026: We were there within an hour of closing. That may have had something to do with the level of service. The food was excellent. The seafood chowder was divine.

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

31/08/2025: One of the most beautiful places in cobh 😋 Ice cream amazing

30/11/2025: Incredible Restaurant, the products are of high quality. My dish was gorgeous, the staff are very friendly. I recommend this restaurant without hesitate.

22/11/2025: Love popping into Ellens for breakfast or lunch. Lovely food and great service. Highly recommend Christmas Sandwich very tasty.

01/07/2025: We discovered this wonderful pub during our Ireland road trip and what a fantastic find it was! The Anchor Bar is tucked away on a steep street, well off the beaten tourist path - which is exactly what makes it so special. This is where you experience authentic Irish pub atmosphere: cozy and rustic with beautiful maritime décor that perfectly suits Cobh. But the absolute highlight is the stunning view over the bay - simply breathtaking! The prices are very reasonable and the barkeeper (a genuine Liverpool fan) was incredibly warm and welcoming. We had wonderful conversations not only with him but also with the other locals - these are the moments that create the best travel memories. Anyone visiting Cobh who wants to experience an authentic Irish pub away from the tourist crowds should definitely stop by here. Highly recommended!

31/05/2025: Very good small Irish bar with great views of Cobh Harbour

17/05/2026: The service at this restaurant is excellent as is the food. Additionally, the atmosphere and the level of genuine interest in their customers was exceeded at every level! We were visiting from the United States and had driven to Cobh from Dublin . Our rental car had a flat tire in Cobh and we still were planning to drive to Roscabery to spend the night. It became too late to do so and being delayed by a flat tire. Our server Filip, and his coworker at the front desk, Ruby of the Waters Edge Hotel, went out of their way to help us. They actually found a place for us to stay in Cobh that night as the Waters Edge was fully booked, called and handled the repair of our flat tire and even notified the lodging in Roscabery that were unable to make the trip safely. We can never thank them enough. Our dinner was excellent and we enjoyed Cobh very much that evening!!! Filip and Ruby are great examples of real customer service and caring!!! Bob and Robin

16/05/2026: Beautiful view right on the water with a great terrace. The food was very tasty, but the vegetarian curry lacked that certain something. The service was very friendly.
