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.

22/03/2026: Beautiful meal with a great view. Always exceptional service

20/03/2026: Spectacular meal in an equally special setting. The service is wonderful from all the career waiters and waitresses. A must try if in Cork.

23/02/2026: Love Monks Lane!! Every time we go it’s always 💯 The service, the drinks(I always get their cocktail specials.. loved the spicy margarita) the food, the decor is always fantastic.. Monks Lane is perfect for a table for two or a larger group. The menu has something for everyone and the quality of the produce is always top notch. Love them!

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

04/03/2026: Stunning food, highly recommend

25/01/2026: Unbelievable dinner last friday night

13/03/2026: Honestly, my local colleagues and friends were absolutely right — this might just be the best brunch in Cork. I had the Turkish Eggs Flatbread (full plate) with halloumi and chorizo, plus a regular mocha, and it was brilliant. The eggs were perfectly cooked with that lovely jammy centre, sitting on creamy yoghurt and topped with beautifully grilled halloumi and rich, flavourful chorizo. It was incredibly satisfying. The whole plate looked gorgeous too — such great colours. I also really enjoyed the little salad on the side, especially the pickled onions and the fresh greens (watercress maybe?). But the biggest surprise for me was actually the flatbread underneath — unbelievably soft and fluffy, perfect for soaking up all those amazing flavours. Absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re in Cork and fancy a proper brunch. 😊

05/03/2026: This place was the highlight of my Irish experience. It was recommend to us by the instagram influencer gods themselves. While I’m not religious, I did hear the voice that day as I bit into the breakfast burger. The poached eggs busted upon the sausage patties, and so did I when the jalapeño jam hit my tastebuds. The delectable combination of spicy and sweet was unlike anything I had ever experienced in my mouth. Insane work. Unreal. Have been dreaming about the burger since I finished. A man or America could never. Special shoutout to the workers. Who not only blessed our hearts with their kindness, friendliness and hospitality, but also our eyes. Until we meet again, magical kinsale breakfast burger. Slainté.

27/03/2026: A brilliant place to visit if you're in Clon. Good selection of drinks and lovely atmosphere, loads of memorabilia and pictures on the walls that'll keep your eyes wandering for hours. Try and catch a trad show if you're in town!

14/02/2026: Very cozy, live music from 9:30 pm

26/02/2026: Listen it's good so I can't fault it but god damn just sell the burger labelled as something else. I can't pick it up and eat it, it's basically just a dish on the plate in the shape of a burger due to it's sheer vertical height 😭

17/02/2026: Always guaranteed a fantastic meal - so much choice - and friendly service

20/03/2026: My cousin and I are on a road trip around Ireland. Our B&B host recommended this joint & it wins hands down. Even though the place was packed , tables were turned around quickly, staff were lovely & very attentive. Before I had my second sip of my beer, our meals were out - delicious and massive at a great price. Customer service was amazing & bar staff were pretty good looking. You know your in a good place when it's packed with the locals. Highly recommend!! Alyce 🇦🇺🦘

18/03/2026: Beautiful Food and plentiful. Accommodated 8 of us on a very busy day (( St Patrick's Day) no prob , despir the place being very busy and packed . Food service very quick and lovely and hot and fresh

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

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 ♥️

24/03/2026: I visit here with friends once in a while for lunch or dessert and coffee when had lunch somewhere. I love the food and the service that's why i come back.

22/03/2026: Excellent food and service here today at the Bramley Lodge, 22/03/26. Colm den was well happy with his burger

09/03/2026: The dishes are delicious, the servers are lovely, and we’ll gladly come back. 😊

21/02/2026: Popped in on a wet Saturday evening - they don't take bookings so were lucky they had a table as was quite busy. Food was excellent, we shared the prawn pil-pil for starters and it was quite different from a standard dish. For mains we had a Gubeen pizza and the confit of duck. Share a gorgeous blueberry cheesecake for dessert. Including a nice bottle of Alborino, the bill came to €93 which was excellent value for the quality of food.

06/01/2026: Always friendly and accommodating, helpful around allergies and food intolerances. Great tasting and well presented fresh food.

05/12/2025: Beautiful breakfast there this morning. Would definitely recommend.
