The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

28/08/2025: My favorite restaurant in Kinsale. Service was amazing. They gave us food to try. Just an amazing place and experience

20/08/2025: Incredible! Everything was so fresh and delicious!

28/10/2025: Lovely, welcoming place with excellent food! What a wonderful discovery!

25/10/2025: Fantastic Restaurant…. Beautiful ambience and great food - every time. Lovely staff..

21/11/2025: Super nice waitress, who also welcomed us right away.

19/11/2025: Right, so Man Friday—absolute gem. Walked in and it felt like stepping into a cosy coastal hideaway, all soft lighting and that old-school charm. I kicked off with huge juicy oysters, followed by scampi that was golden, crisp, and downright addictive. The back sole? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. And fair play to the staff—Natalie had the whole thing running like clockwork, no fuss, just good vibes. €96 well spent, no regrets. If you’re in Kinsale and not eating here, you’re missing a trick.

16/11/2025: This is a gem worth travelling to. Excellent food. We had perfectly done chicken wings in the mouth watering house hot sauce, crispy pork belly in asian slaw, and breaded cauliflower florets with garlic and truffle mayo to start, then spectacular beef cheecks, mash, broccoli with wild mushroom sauce, and pappardelle squash basil sauce with parmesan. For desert a 'Wild' mess with a "unicorn tears" berry compote with fresh strawberries, and a decadent belgian chocolate hot sweet treat served with vanilla ice cream. We left more than satisfied. Well done and keep it up! Thank you.

28/10/2025: Fabulous restaurant, cosy and warm and friendly staff. Food is outstand

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.

29/11/2025: Had the most amazing family dinner here lastnight and I had to share the experience! We were a table of 8 people, some had starts and dessert, all had mains ! Everything was amazing, the service was brilliant , super friends and welcoming staff ! Service was perfectly timed that it wasn't too long or too quick for food either ! The flavours were out of the world! Even the mushroom soup which wouldn't be a first pick for me was insane! Will definitely be back again!

28/11/2025: I can’t recommend Ferrit & lee enough! The feather blade beef was amazing, roast potatoes 10/10 & vegetables cooked to perfection. The chocolate moose desert was delicious. We had a lovely table for 4, tucked in a small nook, nice & cosy! The staff were really attentive & polite. I’ll definitely be returning!

30/11/2025: Many establishments receive awards and accolades but few work as hard as the Church restaurant to equal and excel the standard which won them the award. Congratulations to the Church Restaurant, what an amazing lunch today…you are a credit to your local community and a wonderful restaurant to visit in Skibbereen

27/11/2025: Beautiful location and the food is delicious

20/11/2025: We had the pleasure of dining at Mai Fitz in Lissarda recently for a family dinner, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. As a family of four, we were looking for a welcoming atmosphere, and Mai Fitz delivered on all fronts, exceeding our expectations. From the moment we walked in, the service was truly exceptional. The staff were attentive, incredibly friendly, and brilliant with the children—making us feel genuinely valued and looked after throughout the meal. The food was the absolute star of the show. Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The main courses were hearty and delicious, and the desserts were a fantastic finish. This is proper, comforting, and high-quality pub dining at its best. If you're looking for great food and even better service in a lovely setting, Mai Fitz is the place to go. We'll definitely be back soon!

03/11/2025: Stopped for lunch on our way back from Cork. Promptly sat down and brought water whilst we checked the menu and daily specials. The food was superb, a good hearty portion too. Excellent value to boot.

16/08/2025: Sean minihan is the best server at this fine establishment. Hes a great old young fella

09/10/2025: Our entire group agreed - one of the best meals of our trip so far!! I had the beef stew and my wife had the roast pork. Perfect with great service!

07/10/2025: Friendly staff and attentive staff. Meals were amazing. Even the chips and salad were top class. Pints of Murphey’s are fresh and flowing.

25/11/2025: We ordered a vegetable pizza, the taste was amazing, the dough was fantastic, and the service was very good.

13/11/2025: Avery welcoming and friendly experience.

15/09/2025: This charming little restaurant was amazing. The baked brie and pil-pil shrimp were outstanding. The range of wines by the glass could benefit from expansion. Overall, it’s a great place with delicious food and very friendly staff.

13/09/2025: Food to die for from the amazing chef and team, with the loveliest hosts helping you along the way. The leg of lamb was perfection.
