The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

12/01/2026: Incredible food, incredible interior and exterior, great vibes. Very fair pricing and really nice wine and bonus my wife looked beautiful 😍

09/01/2026: Our favourite wine bar worldwide. Having sampled wine bars on five continents it’s always a pleasure to return to Kinsale and experience The Black Pig. One of the longest wine lists I have ever seen and caters for all tastes and budgets. Make sure you book as there may not be room if you pop in on chance, but they will always try and fit you in.

24/01/2026: We had an excellent meal and drinks. 👍 Highly recommended. We were lucky and got a table without a reservation.

07/01/2026: To be fair the staff were fantastic, food was sensational, highly recommended

04/02/2026: Incredible scallops and service ❤️

17/01/2026: Excellent food. Great atmosphere & service. We have eaten here many times and it’s very consistent. I would highly recommend 👌

16/01/2026: Went for lunch ,lovely staff very friendly and helpful, food amazing 👏 great menu

14/02/2026: Food really really lovely... but the some of the staff are horrifyingly arrogant especially the lady behind the bar, and the two men. However the waitress and other bar staff are lovely. I just feel like if customers are spending there money at your restaurant maybe you should have better people skills. Id recommend for them to go on work experience at the bayleaf because they actually have manners.

08/02/2026: What a great place to eat. Stopped on our wat back from cork city . We were lucky we got a table stright away as tables were filled once available. Its no wonder because the food was fabulous, all 3 courses. Food was served pipping hot & no delays. All was perfect. Staff were amazing, very efficient & friendly considering the volume of people getting served. A gem of a place on a busy road. Wheelchair friendly with easy access and parking. Will definitely dine here again .

10/03/2026: Best chowder in Ireland, cooked when ordered. I have eaten a lot of seafood chowder. None has come close to the chowder I had here today. Bursting with flavour, big fat prawns, mussels, quality fish, homemade brown mini-loaf & real butter. All served in a cosy atmosphere by genuinely friendly staff. Don't miss this rare gem!

10/01/2026: Excellent food, the seafood chowder and fish and chips were really delicious.

28/02/2026: Ate at Church restaurant this evening and what a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Beautiful meal in truly magical setting, superbly attentive and friendly staff. My new number one destination while visiting west Cork.

20/02/2026: We comeback frequently and enjoy it every time! There kids chicken goujons are so nice and the design of the church is so nice! If your in Skibbereen this place is a must go the experience of the church is so nice!

13/12/2025: Went for a drink. Nice Guinness, good atmosphere, short of space and short of seating

07/12/2025: Outstanding Beamish, a warm friendly service and great grub

02/10/2025: Local cafe. Excellent pastries and coffee. Good breakfast selections. Worth going out of your way.

10/02/2026: Staff very welcoming, lovely food and wonderful atmosphere.

18/09/2025: Very tasty and a lovely atmosphere

07/03/2026: We have eaten here several times and to be fair, the food was always good. Today was not good. My wife's main arrived, the brie was not cooked, it was taken back. My mains, the turkey was luke warm, the ham was all fat, there was a tea spoon of stuffing and the veg was cold - which we noted to the waiting staff, but I declined replacements as time was pushing on. By the time my wife's arrived - I was finished. What really annoyed us was at the time of paying -we were asked for our feedback and, upon relaying the above back "again" the guy behind the bar told us "that is the luck of the draw". Sorry, but when you are paying nearly €23 for s main dish, luck should not be involved. Not impressed.

06/03/2026: For a 3* Hotel, the service, food, and entertainment were exceptional. We traveled as a group of 29 adults and 3 children. We wished to tour historical local places of interest. Don, our Host, had everything organised for us. Definitely 5* HOSPITALITY and FOOD ♥️

02/02/2026: Really enjoyed our visit, super friendly staff. Will definitely be back if in Clon.

22/01/2026: Great food, great staff and fantastic music... The Poitín Boys band.
