The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

09/10/2026: Super gorgeous garden setting, yummy food, and friendly staff in a charming village!

27/09/2026: ​Monk’s Lane is easily my favourite place to eat. The food is consistently good, using fresh local produce, and the drinks list is excellent. Between the relaxed atmosphere, the lovely garden out back, and the genuinely welcoming team, it always makes for a great evening out.

20/10/2026: Grilled Hake dish was exceptional. The bread was the best we've run across. Everyone liked their meal so well they didn't share, so I think that tells you how it was. Very popular/busy, a bit loud, definitely need a reservation. Looking forward to returning on our next trip to Kinsale.

18/10/2026: The oysters were amazing! Lamb and short ribs delicious. Service delightful. Value on point. Highly recommend.

11/10/2026: Went with a group of 6. Food was very very good. Small restaurant, so I would book in advance. A nice selection of whiskeys (could/should be more due to its proximity to the nearby distillery). I thought it would be a lot more expensive than it was.

09/10/2026: My favourite place to eat in midleton. They always have your dinner nicely presented and I always leave full. All the staff are great, very friendly, helpful and would do anything for you while your with them. Keep up the good work guys 👍

20/10/2026: Food top class. Service was impeccable. One of the best in West Cork.

21/09/2026: Hearty and delicious, what more could you ask for?

06/10/2026: This place has earned their stars! Food was excellent, fresh and real. Awesome to see a family making it work together. The Thai Curry was better than pretty much any Thai restaurant that I've experienced in Southern California, and I have tried a lot.

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.

15/10/2026: Finbarr is exemplary in his host skills - welcoming, kind, patient and attentive. Pleasurable experience 🌈

01/10/2026: Have Gluten and Diary allergies staff were brilliant ( Finbar) had a great meal with no worries Thank you

11/08/2026: A homely place with garden and courtyard. The restaurant is big and has a wide variety of food to choose from. The accommodation is a unique style very clean and comfortable. I've had many a stay here and would recommend it to everyone. Don, the owner is very approachable and nothing is impossible to him. 5⭐️

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

16/10/2026: Had a great night their very convivial tapas sharing leads to a much more sociable evening, sat in the enclosed "outdoor" seating area which was absolutely lovely.

01/10/2026: The experience we had was unbelievable. They brought us through a journey of wine and food that was unmatched. We will often now pause and think what an amazingly experience we had. The wine list was top notch. The food was unique and premium. Don’t know what else to say.

26/10/2026: Top 3 burgers of all time. Gorgeous

11/10/2026: Amazing meal, service was brilliant, and lovely relaxing atmosphere. It was very busy, but we didn't feel rushed at all to free up our table. I'd definitely return.

13/10/2026: Definitely worth a visit. Excellent pours and selection of beers. I’d suggest it after walking around the water.

11/10/2026: Fantastic place to visit the food was faultless the staff are amazing overall well worth a visit will definitely be back.

30/09/2026: Greetings from Galicia, Spain! Everything was great! 🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉

11/09/2026: The seafood chowder was good, very generous with the prawns and mussels. But not quite as good as some of the more “fish” heavy chowders we’ve tried elsewhere. The wild mushroom rigatoni and chicken were quite tasty. The scampi was good. The portions in all instances were very generous. Overall a nice experience. The fly that kept landing on the table was kind of friendly. There are a lot of flies around these days. Food only served 12-4pm. No dinner.

09/10/2026: Yummy salmon Sunday roast style! Super charming ambience inside and out, and friendly staff

03/10/2026: Had the garlic prawns, catch of the day and a side of onion rings. Enjoyed all of it. Finished off with an Irish coffee.

20/10/2026: We only had a chai latte, but it was delicious. Rich and creamy and very flavorful.

18/10/2026: Small chilled out place. Lovely food and coffee. Really nice welcoming staff.

23/10/2026: good pub, with a good atmosphere

14/10/2026: I don't know about the food but the music was great

26/10/2026: Update October 2026. This is a really special place. Location beautiful, food very good. My only negative is that at weekends there is a group of youngsters serving. They do the bare minimum and then the rest of the time they hang around the bar area chatting and hydrating themselves instead of clearing tables and checking if diners need anything. It's not their fault, it's a training issue. The maitre D' that was there last year seems to be gone which is a pity. 2025. Top notch service and food. There was a 25 minute wait on a Sunday afternoon, but it was worth it👍 Fantastic views from the outdoor seats, great maitre d' keeps things moving

10/10/2026: Always a pleasure to eat at the Glandore Inn. Consistently excellent food, gracious service and a beautiful view, what more do you want
