The best restaurantsof french in Cork city council

05/12/2025: Really nice place. You get a seat right away. Service is good and fast. They also bring your food out fast. But there are 2 things holding them back from a better rating from me. The first is the notes for customers. At first is seems nice. It's like a "be nice or we won't serve you" which I can respect. I've run my own business and I know how abusive customers can be, and I can't even imagine how that would be in a bar. But the number of notes, absolutely everywhere. On several walls. Over the bar. Little ones tucked into the menu. I can't look anywhere in there without seeing them. After the first one or two, it changed from being nice to kind of harassing. I'm just trying to enjoy my meal. Why am I getting all these signs in my face everywhere? And still I could have gotten over it but for the food experience I had. Fish and chips. I ordered fish and chips. Maybe it's a cliche, but I grew up in a fishing town and I really love me some fish and chips. ive had a few hit and miss fish and chips around town. But this truly was the worst plate of fish and chips I have had in my life. The grease was disgusting. Pressing a finger on the batter made grease flow out in a waterfall. And the chips were worse. They were pale and undercooked. I don't think I've ever experienced that. The chips I couldn't eat at all. But I managed to eat the fish. I was not in a state for fighting with the kitchen to get a better meal because I was having some low blood sugar and came in with a serious need for some food immediately. I don't like to send food back, but if my brain hadn't been numb from a low blood sugar, I would have done it, and it would have been a first for me at anything other than a fast food place. I've eaten food here before and it was great. I don't know what happened this day or if their fish and chips is always like this. But I'm not spending that many euros to give them a second chance. That's for sure.

02/12/2025: Was honestly disappointed. Great venue and warm atmosphere. Came for Sunday and it wasn't as good as it looked. The plates were stone cold which turned me off straight away. The carrots were not fresh. The mash was terrible and the beef was chewy. The pint was ok but wasn't overly impressed with the service either. I hope it'll be better if I return. Pity

11/11/2025: Generous food portions and great service! We visited on a rainy day, so we ended up sitting indoors, but the atmosphere was still lovely. Would love to come back and try the terrace seating next time; it looks like the perfect spot to enjoy a nice meal with a view.

26/10/2025: I found myself visiting family in County Cork, out by Midleton. On a lazy Sunday morning, I decided to take a drive out to Cork city and grab brunch at a place I had read about. Salt is a great little neighbourhood spot. Small but well formed, the place can’t help but be welcoming. I was served by Lizzie, who made me feel as if this was my umpteenth visit. I ordered a flat white, orange juice, and the Huevos Ranchero… and boy, what a breakfast that was! Truly filling, warming, and set me up for a day out to Blarney and beyond. Salt is a great spot in Cork.
