The best restaurantsof irish in Cork city council

26/02/2026: Loved it! The hotel has a lovely vibe with lots of areas to sit and enjoy your coffee. Newly renovated room with comfortable beds. The shower was fantastic with really good water pressure. Would definitely stay again.

21/02/2026: A Beautiful Hotel, and great service.

13/05/2026: Delicious food. We went two days in a row, had different foods each time, and everything was delicious! They have great options for gluten free GF, too. Highly recommend!

13/05/2026: A busy restaurant, and therefore perhaps a bit overcrowded inside. But I wasn't bothered by other guests. I had the sirloin steak, which was fine. The accompanying vegetables didn't appeal to me as much, but that is a matter of personal taste. In short, the restaurant is worth a visit.

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.

15/04/2026: Pleasant atmosphere, friendly service, elegant, quiet A very tasty breakfast Huge portion, standard prices I recommend

08/06/2026: By far the best bar in Cork. Great selection of Irish whiskey, good food, and Danny the co-owner was a really nice guy. Food 5stars Danny got me hooked on Red Breast 12yr Irish Whiskey. 5stars

29/05/2026: I am pretty amazed to read that this Place only has 4.2 stars. I found it to be completely charming. My Irish Coffee was out of this world. The other clientele were extremely friendly. Highly recommended 🙏🏾

08/04/2026: It's ashame this pub is closing tonight because it is one of the nicest pubs in Cork City the food i had was perfect Heineken zero beautiful. Ok the service wasn't the best tonight but i guess that was to be expected with staff loosing there jobs. The pub was busy they were short staff. I really hope someone buys this pub. It has serious potential. Anytime i walked past this place it was busy it just needs to new ownership and management train new staff the food is perfect.

05/03/2026: Lovely restaurant! Great brunch!! Good dinner! Great cocktails

17/06/2026: Zero stars if I could!!! I ordered through deliveroo and the pasta - which did not have cheese on the ingredients list!! - came with cheese on it. The restaurant was not willing to help solve the matter at all! So I ended up paying twice! Even more with the service fee! Unbelievable! Never ever order food here! And the restaurant is responsible for the ingredients listed on the deliveroo Website!

31/05/2026: This is the best restaurant I’ve been to in Cork so far, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious

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.

04/07/2026: Very good burgers and the gravy was awesome!

28/06/2026: Had my engagement party in here last night. I had an absolute ball. Thanks to Kyle, Aidan and all the other staff for the food, drink and atmosphere

09/07/2026: Went for drinks! Loved Murphy's!

09/07/2026: Very helpful staff. Delicious food. Great atmosphere.

24/06/2026: Not nearly as good as it used to be. Ordered a glass of fresh orange juice and was presented with very watery overly sugary cheap ''juice''. It tasted like orange cordial. Asked the very young waitress if it was actually orange juice and she replied in a very miserable manner ''that's apple juice.'' then she realised it was in fact the ''orange'' juice they sell and it had come straight from a carton. I'd never even seen the brand they're using before. Food was very average, lacking in flavour and finesse. Portion sizes have been very pared back - and the prices have risen a lot. The same waitress kept ignoring us every time we tried to catch her eye - she saw us gesturing and just avoided eye contact. We saw another customer repeatedly ask for service only to be ignored. The barista was also ignoring customers. With so many other great eateries in Bantry on offer, De Barras simply isn't in the same league anymore. It used to be our favourite place to eat before they closed & reopened. Such a shame.

01/06/2026: Excellent breakfast and pleasant service 👌
