The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

28/08/2025: My favorite restaurant in Kinsale. Service was amazing. They gave us food to try. Just an amazing place and experience

20/08/2025: Incredible! Everything was so fresh and delicious!

21/11/2025: Super nice waitress, who also welcomed us right away.

19/11/2025: Right, so Man Friday—absolute gem. Walked in and it felt like stepping into a cosy coastal hideaway, all soft lighting and that old-school charm. I kicked off with huge juicy oysters, followed by scampi that was golden, crisp, and downright addictive. The back sole? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. And fair play to the staff—Natalie had the whole thing running like clockwork, no fuss, just good vibes. €96 well spent, no regrets. If you’re in Kinsale and not eating here, you’re missing a trick.

13/12/2025: A fantastic experience from start to finish! Wonderful food, and excellent staff. It achieves something I rarely find these days, which is the ability to be in a very popular establishment which hosts a large variety of groups/ guests simultaneously but you feel as though you have your own space to enjoy your gathering privately - it was cosy, beautifully decorated for the festive season, and the staff were most obliging in arranging a little birthday surprise and song too - if you haven't been you should go! You won't be disappointed.

03/12/2025: Great spot for Great food and fantastic service.

10/08/2025: 5 staff behind the bar more interested in talking to each other than serving customers. Then when we did get attention, they were extremely rude....certainly won't be back for the service

13/07/2025: I dunno what the heck is wrong with this place. I'm new to Cork, Clonakilty and Ireland in general and was denied entry simply because I was alone. Although I've never been in.... I'll certainly never be back. Head to GG's instead! These guys are funny as hell saying they were closing at 21:00. Lots of lads had said the "security" staff packing roofies. Didn't believe it until that night.

16/11/2025: This is a gem worth travelling to. Excellent food. We had perfectly done chicken wings in the mouth watering house hot sauce, crispy pork belly in asian slaw, and breaded cauliflower florets with garlic and truffle mayo to start, then spectacular beef cheecks, mash, broccoli with wild mushroom sauce, and pappardelle squash basil sauce with parmesan. For desert a 'Wild' mess with a "unicorn tears" berry compote with fresh strawberries, and a decadent belgian chocolate hot sweet treat served with vanilla ice cream. We left more than satisfied. Well done and keep it up! Thank you.

28/10/2025: Fabulous restaurant, cosy and warm and friendly staff. Food is outstand

11/12/2025: What a great restaurant, we had a lovely meal here last night and the food was delicious Great staff ,very friendly and helpful.

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!

25/11/2025: Great place for lunch. Brillant professional service and great food

02/11/2025: They squeezed us in today after we did a long wet hike in Shehy Highlands - It was recommended by a local lady we met in a garage and it turned out to be the perfect spot. Warm cosy and lovely smell of food as soon as we walked in. Lovely staff, good menu and fairly priced. I had the prawn black ink pasta- delicious! My sisters all really enjoyed their food and we will be back.

03/12/2025: Great spot for food, staff are amazing, food fantastic

20/11/2025: We had the pleasure of dining at Mai Fitz in Lissarda recently for a family dinner, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. As a family of four, we were looking for a welcoming atmosphere, and Mai Fitz delivered on all fronts, exceeding our expectations. From the moment we walked in, the service was truly exceptional. The staff were attentive, incredibly friendly, and brilliant with the children—making us feel genuinely valued and looked after throughout the meal. The food was the absolute star of the show. Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The main courses were hearty and delicious, and the desserts were a fantastic finish. This is proper, comforting, and high-quality pub dining at its best. If you're looking for great food and even better service in a lovely setting, Mai Fitz is the place to go. We'll definitely be back soon!

11/12/2025: What a fab spot for food, pints and music! The sandwiches were out of this world and the pizza was next level! And then we saw a gig out the back and it was terrific! Great sound and fun atmosphere. All the staff were so helpful too.
