The best restaurantsof irish

16/01/2026: Nice warm comfortable hotel…friendly staff and very good location for appointments in the Beacon hospital

12/01/2026: Lovely one night stay, we'd lunch with family in the bar the following day, food was delicious but service was appalling, it wasn't busy at all but the waiters were more interested in conversing against themselves, we couldn't catch their eye for water, then dessert menus and finally the bill.

08/01/2026: Wonderful stylish bar in Cobh. Atmosphere, food and drink was excellent and the staff were efficient and friendly. Bravo 👏

01/01/2026: Everything was delicious, but be warned! The portions are huge, they don't warn you, and I think that's unacceptable. Everything was great, and it wasn't hot in the dining room.

30/12/2025: Great place to unwind after a great day's golf.

27/12/2025: Cracking pint and a great welcome. Lovely staff. Popped in for 1 on St Stephen’s Day. Recommend to all.

18/01/2026: Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. This restaurant delivers an experience that goes far beyond a great meal. The atmosphere in Peploe’s strikes the perfect balance between stylish and welcoming with their staff making you feel relaxed the moment you walk in. The service is very attentive, warm, and genuinely thoughtful and every recommendation felt personal. The food is where it truly shines. Each dish is beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, clearly made with high-quality ingredients and so evident in their exquisite starter Scampi of Dublin Bay Prawns with the lightest batter wrapping the sweet succulent prawns. From the first bite to the last, everything was perfectly balanced and memorable. Portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming, the main of Prime Irish Beef Fillet with Fondant Potatoes and Peppercorn Sauce was perfectly cooked with a beautifully caramelized crust that gave way to a warm, rosy center, seasoned simply to let the purity of the beef shine. The Mains Special that night was Barbary Duck with Foie Gras and Cherry Sauce. The Duck Breast had its fat perfectly rendered and foie gras added a silken, luxurious depth, while the cherry sauce cut through with bright acidity and gentle sweetness, bringing the dish into perfect balance. Even the smallest details, like the sides and sauces, were exceptional. Peploe’s menu offers something for everyone while still feeling creative and refined. This is the kind of place you keep thinking about long after you leave. A true gem with excellent staff that are welcoming, professional and mindful. An easy five-star experience and a big reason we’ll be back

05/01/2026: Simply delicious, absolutely fabulous! Open when most places were closed. Not a table free, and there is a reason why! Claudia the magnificent took our booking and we would go back again just for that smile! I had the kidneys to start, sublime! A beautiful creamy rich sauce toasted Brioche all amazing. MBW had the chickpea and aubergine starter, she said it was delicious , it must have been she didn't share any! Sea bass for main also perfect. We ordered two bread baskets, one would have done! I had the filet steak to follow which was a winner, hallelujah! We had the Sancere white to start followed by a couple of bottles of Lussac St Émilion, take me away WOW. SERVICE WAS THE BEST. Claudia and Paul were fabulous and a delightful lady from Brittany whose name escapes me ! All top class What a night, we are coming back soon I hope. Dinner for 4 cost €440 The best dining experience I have had in a long time! Photos to follow

02/01/2026: Overall, the food was not great. Most dishes came out, colder incorrect, and had to be remain. The oysters were the only thing that was worthwhile. Other than that you have an inexperienced kitchen and a wait staff, too worried about their tip and not about the customers experience.

28/12/2025: We really enjoyed it. The view was spectacular, the staff were very friendly, and the food was amazing.

12/01/2026: This isn't my first visit. I'm happy, as always.

28/12/2025: Good service ,unfortunately I did not enjoy food at all : I got shrimps but tbh it tasted like precooked box from Tesco . Not enjoyable at all

18/12/2025: Food was fine so far, service was friendly. The Night after eating the Veggiburger i got a strong foodpoisening. Can not say a 100% it was the food, but i did not eat much more that day. I rang them, they where pritty friendly, and said they checked everything. Would have been nice to get at least the money back from the one Menue, no matter where the poisening came from.
