The best restaurants in Midleton

11/09/2026: Lovely dinner for 2. Excellent attention to my gluten free requirements and plenty of choice - even desserts!! Would absolutely recommend

31/08/2026: After visiting the distillery, we desperately needed to eat. We got a table for 90 minutes – everything was reserved. The food was excellent and plentiful. The service was very friendly.

01/10/2026: Outstanding food and service. The Celtic Featherblade and Slow-Braised Lamb Ragù were bursting with flavor and generously portioned. Even the kids' menu hit the mark, with my daughter loving her fish and chips. Make sure to save room for dessert—the brownie is fantastic! Highly recommend and will definitely return. 🥰🥰

27/09/2026: Very good experience. Healthy and delicious food, amazing service. Really enjoyable.

14/09/2026: One of my absolute favourite bakeries. The pastries here are genuinely incredible, especially the pain au chocolat and croissants — easily some of the best I’ve had. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, the pastry is beautifully flaky and buttery, and the pain au chocolat has the perfect amount of chocolate without being overly sweet. The croissants are just as good and absolutely worth trying, but the hot chocolate might be one of my favourite things here. It’s rich, smooth and goes perfectly with the pastries, especially if you manage to get a fresh pain au chocolat alongside it. My biggest recommendation is to get here early! The best pastries can sell out surprisingly fast, and after trying them you can understand why. I’d much rather arrive early and have the full selection to choose from than risk missing out on the pain au chocolat or croissants. If you’re nearby and enjoy proper pastries, I couldn’t recommend this bakery enough. Get there early, order a pain au chocolat and a croissant with a hot chocolate, and you really can’t go wrong. Definitely somewhere I’ll keep coming back to.

13/08/2026: Ear damaging noise see measurements in attachment. Recently returned and glad say great food but Too loud because there is no sound absorption on the walls and they have a cement floor.

23/07/2026: I have no complaints about the talbot hotel in midtown. The staff were so helpful and friendly, the room was very spacious especially with us having a toddler with us the only 1 downfall was we were looking forward to the swimming pool but the temperature of the water was freezing my toddler was shivering with the cold in the water and spend all of 3/4 minutes in the pool. But over all we enjoyed our first family holiday in the hotel.

16/07/2026: Very easy to book . From the time we arrived to book in , the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and comfortable, spotlessly clean . It was our anniversary and the staff arranged chocolates in the room which was a lovely touch of kindness. The breakfast was delicious, a great range . We definitely will be back again.

14/09/2026: Stopped here for lunch. Very good ham or chicken sandwiches, good beer, and helpful staff.

08/09/2026: Lovely lunch. Service was good however not as friendly as other pubs we've visited in Ireland. Perhaps she was having a rough day. ☺️

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

01/10/2026: I've been coming to this place for years. Never written a google review before, but this deserves all the positive reviews it can get. I have had pizza in many places & this is hands down the best. The fresh toppings, base and wood fired style is really special. The staff are always so polite, kind and welcoming. Even when they are busy, (which they often are) you are met with a smile. Postives: The food is elite in every category. The pizzas are the best you will get, the loaded chips are all excellent along with the chicken sides (bbq wings & tenders w garlic mayo). The cookies are some of the best you will have. Outrageously good for a "pizza" place. The prices are surprisingly good for a place with this level of quality. A standard pizza here is €12-€14. If you were to go to a chain pizza place, it is closer to €18 euro with far less quality and taste. This is freshly made & you can feel it. After the food you arent full of regret and feeling ill which can be the case with many lower quality places. Negatives: Due to them being so busy, it can be hard to get through sometimes, however when you schedule a time for collection, it is ready to go. Occassionally the size of the chicken tenders is inconsistent. One day you get 3 big lovely tenders, sometimes you can get smaller ones which are not as good. Worth a visit? I think so.

29/09/2026: Freshly and lovingly prepared pizza. A truly lovely team. Everyone does their job with dedication.

06/08/2026: Such an amazing food, I had beef hamburger with fried onions and fries. The best beef Ive ever had without a doubt. My girlfriend had the steak baggett which wad amazing aswell. It was 44e for 2 person

24/07/2026: Excellent Italian restaurant in the heart of County Cork, from pasta to wood-fired grilled chicken fillet, not to mention the delectable Chocolate Fudge Cake – absolutely divine. And on top of that, the waitress was charming and efficient. A must-try if you're ever in Midleton!

02/10/2026: Always a good place to go. Coffee is always great and food is delicious

28/09/2026: Very good place to have your breakfast. I would highly recommend, service is amazing 👏 🤩

09/08/2026: Great place to stay rooms were very spacious and clean bar staff are nice and friendly good atmosphere around the place can't fault it

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 !!

06/09/2026: Fast food with Irish charm 😉 Delicious, but small portions.

10/08/2026: Food is fine but my stomach turned when I saw the horrible ai images used on the website. Why would I order from a place thats too lazy to take a few pictures and would rather us ai slop. Whoever approved this needs to be sacked asap

20/07/2026: Warm and welcoming, great atmosphere, friendly staff and clientele,

28/06/2026: Great pub. Local people very friendly.

04/04/2026: Superb. Had a family dinner here couple of weeks ago. Important occasion for us and the staff were excellent, food absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended

16/03/2026: Celebrated my Dads 80th birthday here Saturday evening. 19 adults and 2 children. Had a fantastic time here. The food and service was excellent. Had a set menu and they made a gorgeous birthday cake, so delicious. Thanks to Kasia and her team for everything. Will definitely be returning for lunch and dinner soon.
