The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

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.

17/07/2026: Who knew? Can't fathom why I have not discovered this gem before now. We arrived for a play in the Community Hall and stumbled on Monk's Lane. They were happy we only wanted a small bite in the heat and short time we had. Super starters, all to be recommended. The cappuccino was lovely too. Check out the beer garden, it has the most fabulous flower garden and nooks and crannies to enjoy.🌻 We plan to return for the full experience! 😋

15/07/2026: Beautiful surroundings, very friendly staff the food was absolutely delicious.

11/07/2026: Myself and my partner had a beautiful meal this evening , very nice food. The staff are so friendly and welcoming , and couldn’t do enough for us . Would highly recommend

08/07/2026: Fantastic food, good service and nice ambiance! Best food in Midleton!

21/07/2026: Amazing experience & food & service in this really nice place. The food was great and generous, the atmosphere upstairs really welcoming. Would love to come again during a next visit in Ireland!

07/07/2026: I came in this restaurant a few days ago with my gf. Food was absolutely incredible, wine as well, the 2 young girls who served us where very professional and the ambient was lovely. We don't live close, but we will come back for sure :)

24/05/2026: We ended up at DeBarra's on a Monday evening via a travel guide. Every evening there is live music by local musicians. The atmosphere is intimate, and you can sit comfortably in front of the fireplace. Highly recommended.

15/05/2026: We stopped in with a small group for drinks, conversation and music. Loved the atmosphere and the music. If you want beer or booze, they have all the Irish choices. And the bartender, working alone, did a pretty amazing job of keeping up with a crowded bar room. Don't ask for a cocktail, though. They don't serve them.

10/05/2026: Had lunch in Copper Grove today Sunday having booked it last night. I specifically requested a table for two in the bar . On arrival a "manager"( not Donal or the othe lovely gentleman who has been there since it opened ) hadn't seen before pointed to a table on the righthand side of the entrance.Every few mins when door opened a cold draught reached our table . I was really cold waiting for our food. When I pointed this out to this gentleman he offered us a table in the function room even though there were a number of empty tables in the bar. I've always booked the bar as it is much cosier and my husband likes to watch the sport on the television. Arrogance is not a word I use freely but he appears to be practised in it. P.S. A lovely pleasant young lady served us and I'm sorry I did not leave a tip as I always do. Just so annoyed.

03/05/2026: Excellent food. Great atmosphere & service. We have eaten here many times. I would highly recommend!

25/07/2026: Food is beautiful great portions great choice of food. Lovely staff and great atmosphere. The only down side is they could cater a bit more for kids gluten free otherwise would highly recommend

19/07/2026: The food great here the have a student saver box. The sausages are all different and delishpus and so is there potatoes. the people make it too. Makes a huge difference when people are passionate about your food.

16/07/2026: We stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting Cork. My wife and children wanted to try it, and we weren't disappointed! The staff was very friendly, and the selection was impressive! The hot dogs were beautiful, large, and delicious!

20/07/2026: Asked For a Cappuccino, was told "our coffee machine is broken", screen was on and it sure didn't look broken. More like lazy staff TBH... Tired and dirty pub, an insult to Spain!!!🇪🇸
