Man Friday
Kinsale
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.

WILD Restaurant
Ballinspittle
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

Scannells
Clonakilty
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.

Ferrit and Lee
Midleton
07/11/2025: Ferrit & Lee in Midleton, is now well established in the town. Ezcellent food, wide a varied menu, excellent range of wines and beer sold if you fancy being laid back. Food is excellent, while getting the portions sizes just right. You're not stuffed and you're nit wanting more. Starters and deserts can't be faulted either. Soft mood lighting, ezcellent service all in all a very nice dining experience.
26/10/2025: I feel really bad about this experience. The waiting staff were lovely, I had a beautiful welcome and impeccable service.
However, this restaurant was not as expected. I ordered the Jameson marinated beef, and some garlic and onion fries to accompany.
First off the bat, the portions are massive. My internal food cost alarm was going off. The beef came with enough roast potatoes for a couple and I was dining alone.
The fries were not fries. They were chunky chips. When you say fries, I guarantee you that 99.9% of people imagine French fries. To make matters worse, the chunky chips were half cooked with some raw and under cooked. The same can be said of the roast potatoes.
I said at the beginning that the waiting staff were lovely, and they were. However they need to be more incisive. My plate was not finished and no comment was made about this. I also received no check back, which would have enabled me to say things were not right.
Overall, I was left in a bad mood and did not enjoy the meal.

Ole ole @ the Priory
Youghal
16/09/2025: Lovely coffee shop with a nice style in the inside, industrial and modern at the same time. Some lovely outdoor tables with great big umbrellas to help keep you dry.
I had a cappuccino on this occasion.
It was nice and smooth with a dense foamy milky top.
The chocolate brownie was rich, moist and indulgent. One was more than enough between two people
The staff were great, dropped everything out to the outside table I had sat at
31/08/2025: The Priory in Youghal, Co. Cork is fabulous. The food is divine and delicious 😋 and the service in a very high standard. We always feel welcomed. We love the place and coming back each weekend after swimming lessons.
