The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

14/07/2026: Delicious food, we had wings, a burger and the warm chicken salad. The team were warm, friendly, chatty and so welcoming.

13/07/2026: Fantastic bar , great food and great service

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

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!

04/07/2026: As a proud Corkman who lives only 10 minutes away, I’m almost embarrassed to admit that today was my first time eating in the Long Valley. I’d tried a few times before, but it was always packed—which says a lot about the place. I’m delighted I finally made it in. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. To top it all off, the bill was incredibly reasonable for the quality and amount of food. It’s easy to see why this place has such a great reputation. A proper Cork institution that’s well worth a visit. I’ll definitely be back—those sandwiches have more than earned their reputation as some of the best in Cork.

04/07/2026: What has happened to the Long Valley sandwich? this used to be great experience, Today however, I spent 14 Euros and 40 cents on two chicken salad sandwiches which were composed of dry tastless bread, dried up chicken - no. mayo which had been requested - no seasoning , or dressing They were utterly tasteless. I only ate 1/4 . Is it just me or is 14 euros too much for very poor food? 1 star but only because it provided calories if you were starving.

14/07/2026: Arrived at 5pm on a Tuesday and had several menu options, so we went with the early mid-week special and, between myself and my wife, were able to sample most of the dishes from the tasting menu. Everything was delicious and the staff were very helpful and kind regarding food allergies; their drinks and mocktails are also excellent

04/07/2026: Amazing. Did tasting plate with paired wines. A week later still thinking of the flavours

21/07/2026: Awesome place, everything was delicious

16/07/2026: An excellent English-style breakfast! A superb setting! Cool background music! Perfect for starting a motorcycle road trip! 😊

02/07/2026: My husband, 7 month old, my in-laws, and I recently stayed at Hayfield Manor for a short break of 2 nights. From the moment we arrived we were treated so well. The hotel made sure we had everything we needed for the baby, from the crib to a mini fridge in the room to storing our cooler ice packs downstairs. They also treated our baby as a guest rather than an inconvenience, which we appreciated so much, especially as first time parents traveling for the first time with our infant. We loved the rooms, the amenities, the grounds and gorgeous gardens, and notably: the food in the restaurant, which was incredible. We will surely be back.

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

26/07/2026: Lovely brunch with great service. Delicious menu at very reasonable price. Eggs Benedict with salmon was great.

21/07/2026: There were six of us for dinner. Four of us had their specialty spit-roast pork which was fabulous. One of us had the Pithivier and said it deserved a round of applause. All of us really enjoyed the meal and our server, Ash, was knowledgeable, friendly and helpfully adapted the menu to accommodate a dairy allergy. Staff were all friendly and professional. This place is popular. We went at 7.30 on a Monday evening and there were no free tables therfore woukd recommend booking ahead for dinner.

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

23/07/2026: Great experience! The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food was delicious. We were early in the evening heading to an event, so the early dinner menu (3 courses)worked great for us. It was a scorcher and bit hot but nothing they could do about that. Overall highly recommend!! Fish, chicken and duck all wonderful. Desserts too!

22/07/2026: Really interesting old spa restaurant space. Friendly staff and good quality food.Vegan and vegetarian menu very good and reasonable priced.

05/07/2026: Hotel is lovely, the room was really nice & every employee we encountered during our stay was very friendly. Sarah on reception was very helpful in helping us get checked in & showing us around the hotel too, overall a great stay.

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.

06/07/2026: Well done 👏 Well worth a visit 👏

06/07/2026: Extremly dissapointed with food. How can you adverise real belgian waffles and serve frozen ones that weren't even properly reheated prior serving. Very sweet, only warm with nothing special. These frozen waffles are in every irish canteen served so how can this be their special morning treat. Dissapointed. Service was very good but they behavied like they were afraid of everything in there. Looked so streeesed even it was very quiet morning.

10/07/2026: Such a relaxing place and such great choice

27/06/2026: We’ve been in Ireland for a week on vacation and this was far and away the best experience we had . Our meal was delicious, our service (Molly, Paula) was superb and John was an absolute gentleman. This place has got it down .Thanks guys for a great job!!!

01/07/2026: Very delicious restaurant in the middle of Cork

27/06/2026: Had the pleasure of dining at Isaac's last night. Absolutely top class in every respect. Food was outrageously tasty service was amazing and it was extremely reasonably priced for the quality of every aspect of the dining experience. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Cork. Would highly recommend.

25/05/2026: Had Dinner at The Cornstore Last night ,Food and Service was exceptional and Thanks Max ,5 stars from us !

20/05/2026: This was our first time in Cork and when we asked a local where to get a great meal, they said Cornerstore Cork. And we were not disappointed. The food, service, and atmosphere was wonderful. A very nice place to dine with friends, family, or your significant other. Bon appetit!

25/07/2026: Now, I know everyone is bloody friendly in this beautiful country but these lot were absolutely glorious. Great food great drinks, lush little patio area with a waterfall thingy. Shout out to Luke!
