Monk's Lane
Timoleague
31/08/2025: What an amazing place to eat!
We were introduced to this restaurant by friends who live locally. Friendly & efficient staff in beautiful rustic surroundings. The food is only superb. Varied menu to suit everyone. Large portions...but it was the awesome flavours that astounded me. Choice of Carafes of wine at affordable prices...
Delightful experience...highly recommended if you are in this area...
29/08/2025: Was in Monks Lane last weekend for a friend’s birthday and it was a standout from first greeting to last sip. The front-of-house team were on it—warm, unflustered, and perfectly paced. The food was absolutely fantastic, both comforting and polished with well-judged seasoning. Hard to decide on what to have when everything sounds so good.
It has a rare buzz, cosy yet lively, both inside and out. It all felt genuinely celebratory without any fuss. A class act and an easy recommendation.

Man Friday
Kinsale
20/07/2025: Fantastic food, lovely staff, great service and just a beautiful restaurant - great value and big portions!
18/07/2025: Beautiful food. Sweet potato side was unreal. Chips were phenomenal. Even the bread beforehand was delicious
My duck main was phenomenal, my fiancé wasn't overly impressed with the aubergine main but maybe just wasn't hungry enough. Would try something else instead.
Everything was delicious. Everybody elses food looked top class.
Lovely atmosphere and ambience
The creme brulee was the most mouth watering we've ever had. Celebrated our engagement and birthday in style. We will be back again
Great service also.

Scannells
Clonakilty
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.

Hunters Rest
Mitchelstown
30/03/2025: The staff and service was lovely, ordering and serving was fast. However, the food was bad. The lasagne was watery and cold, the chips were half cooked and was soaking with oil as if it was sat in oil and it felt like it was microwaved. The lasagne had little to no flavour and the only thing I ate was the garlic bread. The brownie was okay as well but was cold. The service and the staff were amazing throughout the whole experience but food wise, wasn’t the best.
29/03/2025: This place was busy but our food was served quickly. We had the roast beef special and it was amazing.

Church Restaurant
Skibbereen
04/09/2025: We arrived with a large group from a bridal party. Bride and Groom with 10 guests. We told the host we wanted drinks and dessert. They seated us and after we ordered drinks the owner approached the table and told us we could not only order drinks and dessert we would have to order lunch otherwise we would have to leave. It was mortifying to be asked to leave after seating us. This establishment missed out on quick and crazy large bill. Very bad decision.
03/09/2025: I got the chicken burger and the sticky toffee pudding and it was really nice. Generous portions
Dario points- 7/10 (chicken and ham)
Alex points-7/10 (beef stir fry)
Kat points- 7.5/10 (chicken burger)

The New Haven
Schull
12/08/2025: We had no booking but they took our number and got us in very quickly, just enough time for a pint across the road. It was busy and fun with a great mix of locals and travellers. Food was excellent from the baked bree to the local lobster.
02/08/2025: Excellent in every way. Its not that big so be there early or book (2h before). They're very helpful and accommodating allergies. Highly recommend. We ll be back again for sure

The White House Gallery
Kilcrohane
09/08/2025: Nice lunch options and great coffee
08/08/2025: An unlikely roadside café-restaurant with a small garden where you'll probably enjoy the best scones on the peninsula.
Open Friday to Monday, everything's cool here.
