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.

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 !!

11/06/2026: The Pantry is the best morning routine I've had since Australia. Breakfast is cooked fresh to partner the first morning coffee to trigger the day. The cafe bussles with regulars, passing tourists from the Midleton Distillery on the same street with mix & match family groups getting the feed power up for the day or a special day.

03/05/2026: Great breakfast spot in Midleton

08/04/2026: This is a great place for good food, friendly service and a casual atmosphere. I met a few friends for lunch here the other day - I arrived after they had already ordered as it was a last minute gathering. The waiter was so kind and welcoming - recommended the steak sandwich and they had my food ready in time to come out with the others. Everybody at our table loved their food - I had the steak sandwich, which was amazing. One of our friends had the steak burger - which was an absolute beast! Bigger than her, I'd say - but very instagrammable! She ate the whole thing so it must have been really good!

23/03/2026: Delicious food, big portions, very friendly staff. So much I wanted to order

29/05/2026: Really enjoyed our visit, service good and mini breakfast spot on. Will be back

24/05/2026: Busy, waited to get in. Then they didn't enter into the system, we waited 20 minutes and asked if they forgot...then took 5 minutes. First place that I have seen that have MILKshakes and smoothies both based on milk. It's a milk smoothie. Not labeled on the chalkboard so

18/05/2026: Stopped in for a sit. Had the chicken stuffing sambo with tomatoe soup. YUM!

11/05/2026: Great staff live music and cold beers

10/05/2026: Food is decent, a bit pricey for what it is. Staff are always really lovely, cash only though. Very tight in there too

09/05/2026: We recently visited this place and had a fantastic experience. The tomato soup was absolutely incredible — honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The flavor was perfectly balanced and truly 10/10. I ordered the chicken and mushroom pasta with pesto sauce, and it was amazing. It was so delicious, and the portion was huge. I couldn’t finish it, so I happily took the rest home. My husband had the pasta with meatballs, and he said it was excellent as well. A special mention to our waitress, a lovely girl with dark hair. Unfortunately, I don’t know her name, but she was absolutely wonderful — so friendly, smiling, and attentive throughout our visit. Her service made our experience even better. Overall, everything was perfect: delicious food, generous portions, and outstanding service. We will definitely be back!

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.

01/06/2026: Cozy little pub with my new favorite beer (Murphy's) (too bad it's not available in Hungary)

11/05/2026: Great local pub and cheap Guinness

25/10/2025: Best coffee in midleton and a fantastic collection off sweet treats nice friendly staff.

02/10/2025: The owner is an absolute gent, every time you go it he always has a smile and is up for a chat. I've tried here many times now and I have yet to find one of their bakes that isn't good. Well worth a visit

08/08/2025: We ordered our wedding cake from messy buns and 100 cupcakes the guests loved all of it and it all looked and tasted amazing 😍 thank you messy buns.
