The best restaurantsof irish in Cork city council

12/10/2026: Steak needed seasoning and the peppercorn sauce lacked flavor. The bread pudding was delicious.

21/09/2026: Great meal and great service. Restaurant is situated in the middle of the busiest area of Cork on Mac Curtain Street. There was a nice buzz in the restaurant although I found it very loud and difficult to follow. The staff were exceptionally knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine that they were serving, and overall it was a great experience.

23/09/2026: Food is really good. The fish pie is excellent

20/09/2026: We had an amazing meal here after a family christening. The food was outstanding and drinks and the service were amazing and the atmosphere was really good.

04/09/2026: Really excellent food and superb service. Our waitress Roísín was extremely friendly and helpful. The quality of food here is sincerely impressive. I had the prawns to start which were devine and extremely tasty. I had the featherblade as my main. I wasn’t expecting it to be so satiating. The layers of flavour were something to behold. Will definitely be returning!

31/08/2026: Always really enjoy coming here with my kids. Just a small note, ye shouldn’t be running out of roast beef at 1:30pm on a Sunday lunch . Not the first time this has happened to us. Food in general is always top notch and great quality. Keep up the great work.

08/10/2026: We went for breakfast. My Wife, my Son and I. My son and I had the full Irish with 2 bacon, 2 sausages,2 pieces of pudding, 1 black one white, why am i thinking about that song about a breakfast roll. Lol. Also mushrooms, beans and hash browns. My wife has the eggs benedict. All I can say is the food was as beautiful as the presentation. €18 for each breakfast. The staff were very attentive to us. They did everything so smoothly and always with a smile. Well worth the price, and the surroundings were so warm and cosy. Very elegant and classy. You can see the owners take great pride in their establishment. We will definitely be making this our place for our next breakfast and maybe even lunch too. The menu for that looked very appetising too. You won't regret it. I'd put my next breakfast on it. 😂

We ordered a dish that was half chowder and half prawn sandwich, and it was delicious. We'll definitely be back because the menu was extensive and featured exceptionally high-quality ingredients.

09/09/2026: All three courses are sooooo gooood

06/09/2026: The restaurant is in a beautiful location in blackrock observatory on the cork harbour. It is a 15min taxi which is between 15 to 25 euro each way. The staff are wonderful very friendly and accommodating. Getting the steak and lamb cooked a little more to my dad's and aunt's liking. The food is amazing. We all got different starters, mains and desserts and everything down to the sides that accompany them were well taught out. The restaurant was quiet busy but the atmosphere and service were 5 star the whole night long. We will definitely be going again for another special night out.

A side of chips another extra €7.. cost of living or loving a pint burger and chips for one.... almost €30 or more So that's prices off the main thouro streets and pub grubs here. A great pub spacious and in the heart of the City. Not far from St Patrick's Street.. Great for food, sports, relaxing and a tea or a coffee, large screens and Tvs. I got the mother clucker love the name yumm, hate the spice on the clucker to hot. If you like hot hot spicey food it's for you. I didn't enjoy it. So make sure your chocie. TV screens very good, seating for the day very good. Staff top service, prices are expensive again very costly to watch a match have a few pints and meal. A meal deal pints food entertainment in these harsh times would be welcomed from the single person or a group of four or more. Options needed here deal days. €14 a burger €7 a chip portion add pints.

10/09/2026: my friend got so drunk here he ended up thinking he works here 😂😂😂 silly ronnie, get back to the coal mines!

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.

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!

27/09/2026: Pretty alright. Tasty salad, salmon. A bit disappointed in the apple crumble.

21/09/2026: Very disappointing experience at this bar. I felt I was treated unfairly and experienced behaviour that I perceived as racist. Everyone deserves equal respect, regardless of their background. I hope the management takes this seriously and ensures all customers are treated equally.

15/09/2026: A beautiful, quaint pub in downtown Cork. The atmosphere was festive; we dined while a band played. The tables were large, spacious, and private. The food was good and reasonably priced. We booked online through the dedicated website. Highly recommended.

15/09/2026: Best Pub in Cork👌 Very friendly service, very delicious Dinner. And live music... don't need anymore 🫶
