The best restaurants in Midleton

07/11/2025: Ferrit & Lee in Midleton, is now well established in the town. Ezcellent food, wide a varied menu, excellent range of wines and beer sold if you fancy being laid back. Food is excellent, while getting the portions sizes just right. You're not stuffed and you're nit wanting more. Starters and deserts can't be faulted either. Soft mood lighting, ezcellent service all in all a very nice dining experience.

26/10/2025: I feel really bad about this experience. The waiting staff were lovely, I had a beautiful welcome and impeccable service. However, this restaurant was not as expected. I ordered the Jameson marinated beef, and some garlic and onion fries to accompany. First off the bat, the portions are massive. My internal food cost alarm was going off. The beef came with enough roast potatoes for a couple and I was dining alone. The fries were not fries. They were chunky chips. When you say fries, I guarantee you that 99.9% of people imagine French fries. To make matters worse, the chunky chips were half cooked with some raw and under cooked. The same can be said of the roast potatoes. I said at the beginning that the waiting staff were lovely, and they were. However they need to be more incisive. My plate was not finished and no comment was made about this. I also received no check back, which would have enabled me to say things were not right. Overall, I was left in a bad mood and did not enjoy the meal.

28/09/2025: The pizza was excellent and the staff were very friendly. I’ll be happy to come back again

13/09/2025: Best pizza and soundest service in cork!

14/10/2025: Beautiful hotel located in a nice area that made it very easy to walk to the main street

25/10/2025: Went to Roastie Grill with some friends for the first time while spending the afternoon in Midleton. We tried the burgers, they were tasty and cooked perfectly. The staff were really friendly, and the atmosphere was great. I really recommend this place.☺️

27/09/2025: I just tried here today the 1st time ever and I ordered the fried steak burger with extra hot 🔥🥵 sauce 😋 best fried burger 🍔 I've ever had I recommend this place to anyone and everyone... Extra hot 🔥🥵 sauce 🤤🤤🤤

04/08/2025: Will definitely be back for the Turkey & Ham, so delicious 🤤 The breakfast (all day?!?) was really lovely and €14 is a relatively okay price for the size and included tea. The waiters were really friendly and the outdoor seating is gorgeous

03/08/2025: Very tasty good and friendly staff

02/11/2025: I really enjoyed my meal here, the food was fantastic and the staff were incredible. The atmosphere was wonderful and the hand-painted art on the walls of the restaurant as well as on the stairs when going up were beautiful, the place seems like a real labour of love and it’s obvious every member of staff take huge pride in this restaurant. There are a large variety of options on the menu and the portions were huge! We were seated by the window and had a great view of the town, and the staff were very welcoming and friendly and made every effort to ensure we were all happy and didn’t need anything. One man in particular made an effort to chat with my family and even brought a complimentary dessert to celebrate my father’s birthday which was really kind, I wish we got his name because he was a very generous host. The lamb kofta was absolutely gorgeous and I will definitely be back to try more options on the menu as they all looked delicious and it was a struggle to pick just one. The menu also included vegetarian and vegan options so it’s suitable for pretty much anyone, as well as a play area for young kids which is very thoughtful. Thanks so much to all the staff for making a wonderful evening for my family, I have absolutely no complaints and will definitely be a returning customer!

24/10/2025: Had a really fabulous night at Salinas, Orla was amazing and was so helpful and accommodating! Couldn’t recommend enough !!

17/07/2025: I went there for dinner this evening with my daughter and husband. Both the starters and the main courses were super: my husband had a pan seared duck breast, my daughter had beef, and I had fish. The cheesecake: top choice! The staff is very kind and helpful! It was a very nice experience, thank you!

08/06/2025: Amazing food. And incredible staff

13/07/2025: We knew we hit the jackpot when we saw the queue out the door. The pastries are beautiful, especially the Raspberry Danish. The staff were lovely and the coffee was delicious. We grabbed a sourdough special on the way out the door.

03/07/2025: I recommend going here for breakfast or lunch, or just for sourdough bread or sweet baked. There's not that many seating, but there is some, it's also perfect for takeaway. I loved the sourdough and kimchi sandwich. Freshly baked and great taste. And the banana bread was very good! Nice staff and good service. You just have to try it🙌 I'm coming back!

14/09/2025: Always stop for a few whenever I'm in Midleton

09/08/2025: The lady behind the bar was very nice and friendly. Perfect for a quick pint before getting the train back to Cork, would recommend

11/10/2025: After recently moving to midleton happy to find some where with decent food and coffee

04/10/2025: Great spot for lovely food. Portions are large, you definitely get your money's worth.

19/09/2025: What a place, super clean bed & breakfast with a friendly well run bar downstairs. Brendan the owner is a super nice guy. We had some great chats. The breakfast was very generous, lots of local produce on the menu, rashers & sausages etc. The bar stocks Blacks Beer & the best selection of Stonewell Ciders I've seen in a bar that size. Also the obligatory locally produced Midleton Whiskey

04/09/2025: Ciara and Orielle were amazing. Thanks for a memorable time.

31/08/2025: There was milk on my table for so long that I didn't even order

17/10/2025: Good fish and chips, large portion.

11/10/2025: Best Tacco chips I've had in a long time. Pizza was good too. People in the comments complaining about the price 🙄 go complain to the government who's ripping all of us off. Businesses have to survive,

16/09/2025: Meh, it was there, it was open lasagna was okay. Service was prompt. It was cash only when I visited.

17/08/2025: The tables are right on top of each other - you might as well be eating with the next table. It was so hot there and no air con. And a year later the card machine not working....they only take cash. Food ok would not be in a hurry back.

15/09/2025: Excellent local pub, great atmosphere

22/07/2025: Nice friendly bar just off the main street in midleton. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Music every weekend.
