The best restaurantsof irish in Cork city council

15/05/2026: Great food huge portions I barley finished breakfast 1 on menu.

11/05/2026: This has been my favorite place since I arrived in Ireland. Pancakes are amazing, staff are really kind and the atmosphere is calm. I love going there.

23/05/2026: Second time here — this time for lunch — and it definitely didn’t disappoint. From the welcome to the service and all the way through to the bill, everything was spot on. Had a really great time again and we’ll definitely be back. Plus, the food is amazing!

23/05/2026: Beautiful spot to eat, helpful staff but the famous stew lamb hardly had any taste

08/06/2026: Friendly people and great food.

25/05/2026: Nice pub, away from the city centre a bit. Weather was great, went after a Cork GAA game so was quite busy. Nice atmosphere. Enjoyed!

19/05/2026: Great pub, perfect service, and the beer and Irish stew were excellent. We'll definitely be back if we're ever in the area again.

12/05/2026: stopped by for a great sandwich and lovely pint of Guiness.

12/06/2026: Had a great meal and a fun time at this restaurant! We asked a few different people what their recommendation for a meal was and this consistently the 1st or 2nd choice. Did not disappoint!

07/06/2026: Absolutely amazing food. The team were so lovely and helped us with drinks and even had a birthday plate for my girlfriend. Reasonably priced for a long tasting menu with additional snacks

06/05/2026: We had a lovely afternoon yesterday celebrating Emilia's confirmation. The table was decorated with balloons and Emilia was given a gift and card as she sat down, lovely touches and made her day ❤️ Special mention to Stacey who looked after us so well! The food was gorgeous and we all left with full bellies and delighted with a lovely afternoon

05/05/2026: Good value, good service. Not a fan of their boiled/roasted veg, but I’d probably be in a minority of their clients. Good place for Sunday lunch and an even better place for an early evening meal weekdays.

20/05/2026: Delicious food, very friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere

18/05/2026: Delicious food, friendly service, nice atmosphere.

20/05/2026: We both had a vegan starter and main and they were absolutely delicious. I'd get the same dishes again in a heartbeat.

06/05/2026: Great spot food was spot on too

16/06/2026: We love Hayfield Manor, everything was beautiful but the best part was the amazing service and blue bikes!

15/06/2026: Stayed in 5 hotels on our trip this was our favorite by far.

18/05/2026: Not too far from Cork city centre stands a beautiful hotel on the banks of the river. Rooms are of a good size, clean and beds are very comfortable. Staff are lovely, professional and pleasant, and they can only bested by the food served. Everything from the goats cheese tartlet through to the incredible beef mains was nothing short of exceptional. To top it all off, a trip to the spa, including the outdoor heated (really warm) swimming pool. Overall, a really pleasant experience, and worth every moment.

09/05/2026: Booked the Kingsley for our son's communion and I can't fault anything.. the staff were amazing and my son even got a communion card and dessert from the Kingsley for his big day.. will absolutely be booking with the Kingsley again. Fantastic day

01/06/2026: Think closer to a 4 star than a 5 star. Breakfast on the first morning was only ok. Full irish was over cooked and bacon was not good. Service very slow. Reception woke us up at 10.40 looking for a credit card number. It could have waited till morning as we were staying 2 nights but when I suggested this they didn't see to agree. Being honest tho the foor in Amber bar was very good and staff were lovely.

26/05/2026: Brilliant worth every Euro spent there

15/06/2026: Warm hospitality, fantastic food, great value, and a memorable local experience. We had a fantastic experience at Muskerry Arms Bar. The staff were incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in, creating the kind of relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes a pub feel truly local. The food was absolutely delicious — especially the fish chowder and the Irish Stew, which was the chef’s special and genuinely outstanding. My wife had the burger that was loaded with bacon, cheese and excellent quality beef. All dishes were full of flavour, hearty, and exactly what you hope for in a traditional Irish pub meal. Prices were very reasonable too, especially considering the quality. Our B&B host, Olwen, highly recommended the place, and she was absolutely right. It was also great to meet the owner and hear the history of the family behind the bar — a lovely personal touch that added even more character to the visit. Overall, Muskerry Arms Bar delivered excellent food, warm service, and a memorable sense of place. A spot well worth visiting.

10/06/2026: Our most disappointing meal during our two-week trip across Ireland. One of us ordered the soup of the day with a sandwich, while the rest had the beef stew with vegetables. Unfortunately, the food lacked the care and attention you hope for when dining out. The stew was underwhelming in flavor, and it was served with what appeared to be plain packaged white bread rather than something fresh or toasted. The soup & sandwich was good but nothing to write home about. The service was friendly and attentive, but we left disappointed with the overall quality of the food. Based on our experience, we would recommend eating elsewhere!

09/06/2026: We really liked the restaurant; it was efficient, fast, and friendly. The food was good and plentiful, and the waitresses were nice. It was very busy on a Monday night, which speaks for itself. I found the prices very reasonable.

08/06/2026: There was a large group of us that visited from all over the world. The service was absolutely fantastic. The food all came out hot, well presented and on time. We didn’t have to wait long. Everyone said how good their meal was.

15/05/2026: Awesome service and great food.

14/05/2026: My family and I rented a private room for a storytelling and musical evening - and had a special menu prepared for our group. The experience we had was outstanding in every respect. The servers were professional and welcoming from the start. They were also very accommodating to food allergies and substitutions we asked for. The main server Bev was truly delightful. She was so friendly and made the evening seamless - from appetizers to dessert. The food itself was fantastic including the Roast of the Day and the incredible Homemade Apple Crumble. Could not have asked for a better experience!

31/05/2026: Portion sizes not great for the price 😕 Staff amazing 👏

29/05/2026: Have been here a few times over the years for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinners. Is always really good; simple food really well made and packed with flavour. Outside is lovely when the weather permits, but inside is equally as nice. Staff are always friendly and knowledgeable when asked any questions. Highly recommend. The bacon collar in particular is fab!
