The best restaurantsof irish in Cork city council

08/08/2026: Food is alright, servers can't remember what you asked for. I went to the bathroom with my kid for a short time and they took the rest of our food and cleared the table before I got back, half a sandwich, plate of wings gone to the bin. Don't recommend.

05/08/2026: I love going to the elm tree. Always going to get food food and have a very comfortable meal experience. Very friendly staff and the service runs like clockwork

17/08/2026: Went there for lunch 4pm.saturday 15th August. Food was good and most waiters were good, except for one waiter male was extremely rude. Got told "what are you looking at " when coming to the table to handle our order He was Trying to be good at dry humor but lacking the comedy and wit for it. Won't be coming back with a service staff like that.

16/08/2026: This is no Dark horses , BUT beautiful WHITE HORSE pub in Ballincollig fantastic food and service A MUST visit food or drink experiance .

11/07/2026: Class. Thanks Mike, great service

11/07/2026: Fabulous food, fantastic ambience, brilliant service very friendly staff.

14/08/2026: The museum doesn't offer much. It's small. We didn't see the planetarium since it was separate from the entrance fee. Entry was €32 for a family of four, and children under five get in free. The planetarium was €5 per person, but in the end we didn't go in.

31/07/2026: Excellent fresh food. Appropriate sized portions. Professional Chefs create the dishes in a semi open kitchen area that is very clean and well run. Staff are friendly and attentative. Will I visit again? yes.

14/08/2026: I'll start by saying, the food was really good. One weird thing is they had alcohol free gin and I recently stopped drinking alcohol. Not completely but just not as often anymore. So in a ted to try it, I saw they had pineapple juice and alcohol free gin and I asked if they could make a mocktail using the gun and pineapple juice. They couldn't. I dunno why. It was weird. So they gave me a glass of the gun and a glass of pineapple juice. Dunno why, it's not hard to just mix the 2 to make a mocktail. Also, it is a family friendly place so the table next to use had like 5 kids just yelling and hoping in their chairs. I understand people can take their kids out but it was hard to have any conversation I was having with my significant other. I asked if we could be moved but all the seats (even the ones outside) were full. So that tells you how food the food is. I'd still recommend this place because it's one of the biggest servings of fish n chips I've ever had and it was amazing.

13/08/2026: Very friendly service and great food. I recommend the mussels, whose sauce is delicious, the calamari, and the fish.

30/07/2026: No dogs allowed inside and you can't eat outside... very disappointing.

29/07/2026: Highly recommended, fish & chips are great, service is ok, Guinness is delicious

08/05/2026: I met a guy here who was not shy about telling me how little he liked one of the other customers

01/05/2026: Genuinely old school pub. Pints of stout are also pure cream

15/07/2026: Had a wonderful experience here! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal. Excellent service, great food, and a lovely overall experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

28/06/2026: Went there as a walk in with my husband and my mother. Every table was reserved, so we cut our loses. While looking around to see if any tables were free and we were met with judgy eyes and one customer was really rude with my mother, saying “that the tables were booked, can’t you see” then laughed with her boyfriend. I understand that does not project on the staff but unless you book and table you will be judge and made to feel downgraded and unwanted.

12/07/2026: My cousins and I stayed at the hotel on Friday and had light bites and cocktails on the terrace. Everything was fab but really I’m only reviewing because our server Paudie genuinely made our evening, he was so fab! Paudie was so attentive and was great craic too. He really gave us such good service. Thank you Paudie!

08/07/2026: We just spent 5 nights in a River Suite. The Woodlands part of the property is a five star experience. The serene room design, large balcony and club lounge make this a perfect place for celebrating a special occasion or in our case having a quiet home base for exploring Cork and the surrounding areas. Every staff member we encountered was friendly. The service was excellent. You do not have to leave the property as they have a full service restaurant and bar both with panoramic views, fitness center, pool and spa.

13/08/2026: Fabulous dishes. Everything was plentiful and delicious. Modern prices.

09/07/2026: Lovely food reasonably priced and very friendly staff 😋

18/04/2026: Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Nice little walk to Blarney Castle grounds. Several places to eat within walking distance. Highly recommend!!

10/04/2026: Beautiful hotel, just a short walk from blarney castle, we had a gorgeous and fantastic service from the majority of the staff, the showers could’ve been a bit hotter and some areas could have done with some extra dusting but, the food was tasty and the portions were generous and the beds were so comfortable I could barely get out of bed in morning!

16/08/2026: First visit to the Beer garden . We had the mini breakfast x 2 , not so mini. Vegetarian breakfast and the waffles. All the food was lovely and plenty of butter for the toast . The soda bread was fabulous.

20/07/2026: Wonderful staff, food and atmosphere. Just love the place.

16/07/2026: Absolutely terrible! The bartender and manager provided awful service. I don't recommend it. Plus, there was a rat in the bar.

11/07/2026: Great service, accommodating to coeliac needs, very kind blonde girl who kept topping us up with more prosecco couldn’t recommend it enough
