The best restaurants in Midleton

29/11/2025: Had the most amazing family dinner here lastnight and I had to share the experience! We were a table of 8 people, some had starts and dessert, all had mains ! Everything was amazing, the service was brilliant , super friends and welcoming staff ! Service was perfectly timed that it wasn't too long or too quick for food either ! The flavours were out of the world! Even the mushroom soup which wouldn't be a first pick for me was insane! Will definitely be back again!

28/11/2025: I can’t recommend Ferrit & lee enough! The feather blade beef was amazing, roast potatoes 10/10 & vegetables cooked to perfection. The chocolate moose desert was delicious. We had a lovely table for 4, tucked in a small nook, nice & cosy! The staff were really attentive & polite. I’ll definitely be returning!

26/11/2025: amazing food! only complaint is that I couldn't finish the whopper of a burger 🤤

21/11/2025: A lovely atmosphere, great choice of food which was very tasty and excellent customer care

07/11/2025: Beautiful, real oak fire pizza. Wonderful atmosphere. Nice selection of pizza. Quick service.

18/10/2025: While visiting from NM in the US we stumbled on this great place. The owners are very personable and professional. The pizza was great and it’s just a short walk from the Jameson Distillery.

10/12/2025: The Talbot Midleton is a great hotel in a good location with a bus stop right outside. All of the staff that we met were friendly and professional whatever their job. We had lovely food in the bar and there was a good selection for breakfast. Our room was warm and comfortable. There is just one thing that I don't like and that is the shower curtain! A nice bath screen would be so much better. As repeat guests We once again totally enjoyed our stay and we'll be back. Thank you and well done everyone at the Talbot Midleton.

10/12/2025: We were a family of 24 staying overnight and attending the Christmas party. What a great night from start to finish. From the minute we arrived at check in the staff were so friendly and helpful. This is our 2nd Christmas staying here and we will definitely be back next year. A wonderful hotel with amazing staff. Thank you for making our weekend so memorable. All the rooms were beautiful too.

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 !!

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

12/10/2025: So friendly and welcoming also they use rostellian milk so good couldn’t recommend enough!!

30/09/2025: Lovely selection of pastries and breads. Seeded sourdough is really good.

02/12/2025: Great food, I had the seafood basket and it exceeded all expectations! Friendly and helpful staff.

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!

01/11/2025: Firstly, a huge thank you to Brendan. My return from last year for 3 wonderful nights and plan to return next year. Supremely clean and comfortable rooms. A cozy traditional pub lies below rooms. A few minute walk into Midelton town centre. A 3 minute walk to train station which will have you into Cork City Centre in 22 minutes. Thanks to a terrific staff and the friendly locals who frequent this gem of a pub.

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

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.

02/12/2025: Friendly and fast service. Portions are large and filling. Perfect for coming with children. Very cozy restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. Plenty of space not only for couples, but also for larger groups of people.

29/11/2025: Had a roast beef sandwich today , honestly it was divine! Will def come back back.

14/11/2025: Beautiful place, with great selection of cocktails quirky and traditional, wines, whiskeys, gins and everything else! Not a casual place, need to wear your best blouse or polo. With that it can be more expensive side for Midleton.

10/11/2025: Great place, cozy interior and friendly bar staff.

21/12/2025: Probably the nicest chipper in Midleton, definitely the nicest chips. Very consistent and you get a decent amount of chips

28/11/2025: One of the best in Midleton. Really good all round and very generous portions.

02/08/2025: This was the perfect pub for me I was travelling alone I'd just ordered a drink and the staff and customers around made me feel like a regular I honestly can't wait to go back , if your in the area it's a place you need to visit

20/08/2025: I had a coffee, and saw what was called a Portuguese custard tart....pastel de nata.. which I must say was horrible. It was dry, no lemon zest taste and absolutely no cinnamon won't be back

10/08/2025: Overall it's a nice cafe with good potential and very comfortable seating options. The cappuccino was good and the overall atmosphere was nice. My biggest criticism is the place was freezing cold as they leave the door open even on cold mornings which is ridiculous. The place looked good in terms of cleanliness except some of the tables needed a deeper clean. Staff were friendly and professional enough. Would I return?......yes, if they closed the door and turned on the heating.
