The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

22/08/2026: Michelle and Gavin and the entire kind staff got on board with our “Orange” themed 60th party we wanted that the table flowers were orange and in abundance, the dishes had orange nasturtiums decorating the plates, the desert was orange posset. There were even loose oranges on the table - talk about going above and beyond. I left it to the professionals and boy did they deliver. Food was incredible, the staff were so helpful and kind too. We had the best night, the birthday girl felt special. If ever you are planning a special night- it was like an event planner took over and relieved me of the stress of organizing. Thankyou Michelle. Love Olive xxxx

14/08/2026: Fantastic from start to finish. The results dont lie. Excellent food, wonderful staff. A credit to the area.

25/07/2026: Have eaten here for the last 40 years. It ages like a fine wine , just gets better and better

22/07/2026: As a coeliac who gets so anxious eating out, the staff were so kind after asking for reassurance regarding their gluten free bread. It’s really really good! The food was incredible and the view was beautiful. Thanks for a lovely evening.

09/08/2026: We visited on Thursday with our three young kids. We sat outside the back in a lovely area. We were so impressed with the quality of service from the young waitress we had…the best service we have had in years. Our food was really quick which is a major advantage with young kids. The quality was amazing. So tasty. We loved it so much I sent my folks the following night and they had an equally brilliant experience!

06/08/2026: Excellent food & staff - had a brilliant meal. Highly recommend if ever near Middleton.

15/08/2026: Great discovery. Gorgeous restaurant with really good menu. Seafood green curry was a knockout. Four of us went and were really impressed.

05/08/2026: First they forgot my order, and then they served me the tea in this tea pot … i don’t know when was the last time they washed it.

19/08/2026: Got a warm welcome and a delicious curry

10/08/2026: This was my first ever holiday overseas and the staff at copper grove were so nice and welcoming stayed two nights and the room was fantastic and very good value too! Had a ln amazing meal in the restaurant as well and it was delicious and the staff were brilliant! Would visit again! Ireland rocks! 👍

The food was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented, and there was a lovely atmosphere throughout the restaurant. The place felt warm and comfortable, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. Overall, excellent food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend this restaurant and come back again.

21/08/2026: A very traditional, cozy, and rustic pub. The decor and countless photos on the walls tell a fascinating story. Many great live music evenings throughout the month (see the website for the schedule). During our visit, several guests joined in the music and sang along enthusiastically. A fantastic atmosphere. There's also a beer garden when the weather is nice!

03/08/2026: I don’t usually go into pubs to be lectured about contentious political issues happening 10,000km away… Our politicians are already doing a fantastic job of that! When I go into a pub, I usually just want to be served a drink. As a regular visitor to Clonakilty, for this reason alone, I will never return to De Barras. Also, the male staff here over the long weekend were absolutely tragic and a total let down. Seemed as though they were incapable of serving the male gender for some weird reason. One drink and done, never again 👋

05/07/2026: Very busy and popular spot. The food and service were excellent. The staff were very busy but had time for every one.

24/06/2026: Great fun. Memories made here that will last a lifetime. 😊

19/07/2026: Yet another fantastic meal here with a small group of friends. Super food from start to finish, attentive but unobtrusive service from the lovely staff and as ever outstanding wine options.

12/07/2026: Excellent food, okay service, expensive but very quality. Overall - very good!

05/07/2026: fantastic inn, great food and beers, friendly staff, beautiful location

10/06/2026: Room are beautiful; but its the staff that make it the most loveliest place to stay. So welcoming and down to earth, they couldn't have been nicer, well done 👏. Food was beautiful, just such a lovely atmosphere, loved The Mills Inn, one of the best places to stay.

20/04/2026: Beautiful food - would recommend the turkish eggs - and very welcoming and friendly team!

17/04/2026: Magnificent breakfast burger and superb coffee with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend…..the mushrooms on toast were also amazing!!

04/08/2026: Excellent restaurant in a beautiful building. The chicken supreme was the most delicious I’ve had in a long time, and the dessert was excellent as well. Despite the place being fully packed, the food arrived very quickly. Everything was tasty and beautifully presented. The waiter deserves special praise — very polite and gave great food recommendations. Highly recommend.

02/08/2026: Gorgeous conversion of an old church. The food and service are quality and it shows by always being busy. Highly recommend this place if you're in Skibb.

18/08/2026: The food here was fantastic! The potato cakes, beef & Beamish stew and beer battered fish were all top quality. The fish pie was really good once you added a squeeze of lemon juice but I would go back for the other three dishes. Great Guinness too.

13/08/2026: Food was very good, service was friendly, table was sticky (and I really hate that).

11/08/2026: Excellent. Highly recommended. Small alcoves for dining. Suitable even with young children. Budget-friendly. Very friendly waitress. P.S.: Don't park in the church parking lot... The gate is locked with padlocks at 6:30 pm... 😉 Unless you know the priest.

11/08/2026: Good food in a beautiful Irish pub with all sorts of different nooks and knick-knacks. The Guinness tasted delicious and the food was fine for a pub too.

18/08/2026: Best breakfast in skibereen and the staff are lovely.

18/08/2026: We had had breakfast which was delicious and the ladies who served us were accommodateding and very polite. The cost was reasonable.
