27/04/2026: Great service and the food is really superbly presented amd tastes delicious. Fabulous food and modern interiors which are cozy and warm.

27/04/2026: Celebrated my brother birthday here today a mix of old and young, the staff were excellent and the service was fab nothing was too much trouble and we had one very fussy eater. The Risotto was one of the best dishes I think I’ve ever tasted such amazing flavour I highly recommend it.

15/05/2026: This is my all time favourite chipper to go to. food is always up to a high standard which I find hard to find these days most other chipper have every thing dripping in grease this place is clean fresh food

19/04/2026: Unbelievable food , top quality always & the lads are so nice 👌🏽

24/05/2026: Very disappointed for being refused entry for wearing Cork jerseys kids traumatised!! Do not recommend!

22/05/2026: One of the nicest cocktails I have ever had. A1.

16/05/2026: Friendly service. Excellent meat dishes, but the vegetarian options are very limited and expensive. The busier it got, the louder it became. Unfortunately, there's only one toilet for everyone, and it's poorly lit.

21/04/2026: This place is so dodgy, the waiters are outside trying to get people inside. They speak like scammers trying to negotiate the prices of food. They hover around you as you drink and eat. All of this creates a really unsettling atmosphere. When we tried to pay they were pushing for us to pay with cash?! Hello it’s 2026 where’s your card machine. Do not come.

11/05/2026: Love this place with my whole heart x

05/05/2026: Best food in cork 110 % recommend

08/05/2026: Great restaurant atmosphere with two entrances, loads of seats and buzz We had the Scallops and Mussels to start; both delicious and the right size for appetizers. For mains we had the Fried Squid and the Portmagee Fisherman's pot. Everything was so fresh and tasty! Desserts were the Red Wine Poached Pear and Creme Brulee; a nice finish. We love how the menu changes to whatever is fresh and in season; will definitely go back!

07/05/2026: Seafood empanadas, beer battered fish and chips, as well as sticky toffee pudding were the highlights of my trip to Cork -- at least so far!

05/04/2026: I had a party for my wife's 50th birthday, and it was fantastic from start to finish. They were very helpful when I emailed them with any questions I had; they answered quickly, and nothing was too much. The service on the day was first-class, and I can't recommend it enough.

31/03/2026: Great spot, been doing the quiz here for 5 or so years

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

05/05/2026: You better come in hungry, otherwise portions will grab you by the neck and throw on the floor, then proceed to mock the food you had earlier that day. Can recommend, will be back, no matter what rebrands lie ahead.

31/12/2025: Amazing food and always great service my partner and I love this restaurant it's our favourite place in Cork.

11/05/2026: Lovely food. Very quiet in the restaurant as we had an early booking. Service was excellent.

09/05/2026: Our party of three had lovely light healthy salads and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The staff could not have been more helpful or efficient.

12/05/2026: Wonderful property with amazing staff and the hotel was really nice and clean #nocomplaints

04/05/2026: The venue was gorgeous and had an easy to navigate website. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, eg kettle/tea, iron, hairdryer. The beds were too soft for 2 of my colleagues, so they didn’t sleep well at all, but I was fine. The staff were incredibly rude at check in and check out. Considering how much we paid for the room, I expected better customer service. We didn’t even get a smile at check in. The girl was rude, didn’t speak to me while processing my payment (not asking me to choose GBP or EU using her words, she just shoved the card reader in my face, even though I asked for clarification). Upon making the reservation, I notified the hotel that we would have a very late check in and even gave them an estimated time of arrival. The hotel called me the day before I left to confirm my reservation, so I clarified my late check in and assured them I’d be there before “late check in” started. As promised, I was well within my time frame, but received another phone call from the front desk during travel asking where I was and if I was going to be any longer. I was so confused, taken aback and really insulted. When we arrived, she didn’t apologies for her eagerness (which I can only assume was because she just wanted to go home, greet us warmly or even make me feel like we were welcome at all.

29/04/2026: This was a fantastic experience! Of all the choices for a night in Cork, I am so glad we chose Plunketts. The 2-man band was fabulous and the craic was just what we were looking for. Make your reservations and GO!

28/04/2026: I ordered a round of four of Redbreast 12. The Bartender did not ask if I wanted it neat (I did) and he brought it to me with ice. When I told him I wanted it neat, he re-poured the drinks. I sat down to enjoy the drinks and watched the bartenders strain the ice from the glasses and pour the whiskey back in the bottle. It had been in the glasses for at least five minutes and certainly was diluted. Inexcusable.

09/12/2025: Went there to see a band. Great night had. Great pub, good service

29/10/2025: Good atmosphere! The resident cocktail maker was not present but the fella behind the bar did his best and produced some top quality cocktails for us. Staff are incredibly sound.

31/03/2026: Just had a wonderful break at the Montenotte, room was very comfortable and everything needed was available. Breakfast in the panorama lounge was delicious with beautiful views of the city. Drinks in the night overlooking the lights of Cork is wonderful. Staff are very attentive and friendly. The short walk downhill is easy to access the city and it's a very short uphill taxi back. We'll certainly return

25/03/2026: Off busy narrow street, so have a good navigation so you don't miss the entry like we did, as it was a bear to get back here. Otherwise, this has been the best hotel we have stayed while in Ireland so far. The staff and hotels attention to details are top notch. You should not be disappointed!

14/05/2026: Went there with some friends after class about 9:00 p.m. on a Thursday and there was live music good atmosphere but actually easy enough to get a seat for our small group of 5 in a quiet spot down the back.

11/05/2026: Big disappointment! The bouncer, so heavily criticized in the reviews, wasn't there tonight, May 11, 2026. We were really hoping to see him, as well as the waitress. Unfortunately, only very friendly guys were there. A great evening so far.
