The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

23/07/2025: I got Lunch Sandwich Special here yesterday for a small party in my house Sndwiches, wraps & rolls...different variety of each...all very fresh tasty...and all enjoyed by my guests!!!Most asked where I got them and had no problem passing on details... Would highly recommend

09/07/2025: Staff are always lovely, food and coffee are great and very reasonably priced in comparison to other establishments in the Blackrock area. Really good selection of sandwiches, almost too good though, hard to make up your mind 🤣

01/01/2026: Very bad customer service never respect customer. The food we asked not spicy they made very spicy and not cooked. Never again

17/11/2025: Got a doner meat chips and a long black hair on top. I rang them and the man on the phone was very rude and was insisting it was my own hair to which I said I don’t have black hair. He sent out another doner meat chips and then rang me after I received it and said they will never deliver to my house again due to the complaint. Terrible attitude on staff and terrible food.

21/01/2026: From the outside it looks like a small pub, but when you enter inside you will conclude that you are in a very large pub with several bars, the staff is tidy and at the service of the guests, the food is freshly prepared and good, the toilets are clean and tidy...recommended.

10/01/2026: This is one of the largest and the oldest bars in Cork. The price is great and the food portions are generous. Not sure if it’s a placebo, but the Guinness here tastes quite weak or almost watery compared to other bars.

27/12/2025: My daughter & I visited the Quays bar today & had food that was reasonably good. Unfortunately the place was absolutely filthy, our shoes were sticking to the floor. Toilets were disgusting & absolutely filthy with no toilet roll & when we asked we were told there was none. I dread to think what the kitchen was like.

19/07/2025: Excellent food, very tasty. Really enjoyed it 😋

27/07/2025: Basic fare , mostly seafood menu, average pricing, friendly staff and bookings probably needed at peak as the restaurant not too big. People with reduced mobility won't have any problems.

25/07/2025: Ambiente in bella posizione, accogliente, personale attento e premuroso, piatti ben preparati e abbondanti, prezzi in linea col livello del ristorante in Irlanda

29/11/2025: We had brunch on Saturday for my friend's 40th birthday. The music and staff were fab and we did have a great time. There were a few things that needed improvement and to be aware of if booking that are not on the website and I found it hard to get the information before hand. If you have bottomless prosecco you have to eat, now some of our party have quite strict dietary requirements and didn't want food they ate before they came, this information is not on the website. I know it's brunch but on the website food looks optional. Some of our party don't drink prosecco they were told they were not allowed food, there was a complaint made and it was sorted quickly. Had the chicken quesadillas (wrap) nice but for 14.50 it could have had some chips with it, compared to the burger that was overflowing with chips and onion rings for an extra €2. If don't like chicken I wouldn't bother. The prosecco was decent and flowing, would recommend it, but do feel website needs updating with clear rules so people know before arrival.

13/10/2025: Great mid-week deals. Altough the quality of food has dropped in recent times, especially the chicken wings for the deal on Wednesdays. Hygiene needs improving also, the tables are sticky from dirt and poor cleaning, door handles are filthy, and the bathrooms are disgusting!

02/01/2026: Terrifying Security !!!! We chose this place for New Year’s Eve because we wanted to sit quietly with friends, have a few drinks, and chat. The atmosphere inside was lovely and I genuinely liked it. However, we were sitting outside while waiting for the rest of our friends to arrive. I ordered a beer, and when one of our friends arrived, we were chatting in our own language. At that point, the security guard outside told him that this was not a free house that it was his property, and that he could not sit there unless he was drinking alcohol. So our friend got up, ordered a drink, and we continued waiting and talking. One of our friends did not drink alcohol because he had to go to work later. Everyone else at the table already had drinks. Despite this, the security guard approached us and told him, “If you’re not going to drink, get out of here. You can’t sit here.” Our friend calmly explained that he wasn’t drinking because he was starting work, but the security guard rudely replied, “That’s not my problem. Get out of here, you can’t sit here.” When we questioned his behavior, he insisted he wasn’t being rude, claimed the bar was his property, and then told all of us to leave. As a result, we left without even finishing the drinks we had already ordered. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. We were simply a group of four friends who wanted to sit together, chat, and have a drink. Because of the security guard’s rude and discriminatory attitude, I will never return to this place.

21/12/2025: The bouncer Ger was incredibly rude to me and my friend. Wouldn’t want to repeat it. Wouldn’t recommend going here!

21/09/2025: Very unwelcoming staff. Food was sad and miserable. My pork roast was completely dried out, the rest of the food wasn't much better.

27/08/2025: Ate lunch here before flying out of Cork airport. We both ordered burgers. I noticed how quickly they came out and how fast other tables got their food too. I worked in hotels myself for years and that is not necessarily a good sign. The burgers themselves were ok but they seemed somewhat ready made. We both had upset stomachs by the evening time. I do not recommend. The staff and service were excellent. I can’t give more than 1 star because of the food issue.

16/12/2025: Very disappointing outcome to this place. I had high hopes given the name & reviews..... But what it appears is that the place has been taken over, kept the name but taken all the smoked food off the menu. Rather than sample what is on the menu (what appears to be a basic attempt at smoked/ pit food..... Without the smoked/ pit food) I took my business elsewhere to avoid further disappointment.

08/08/2025: There was hair in my daughters ice cream.

18/11/2025: Great food and customer service

15/11/2025: I was at the cinema with my family and after we came out we went to dinos for food. We ordered two hamburgers, two large chips and a curry. The chips were hard and green, the hamburgers were very dry and tasteless. The curry was the worst of all it was like it was watered down. I say it was about 95% water. I was very disappointed and won't be going back. The dinos in Blackpool is way better especially the curry.

02/01/2026: Most expensive roll in Cork? I've been a customer of the deli here for a good 20 years, but I've found their prices and habits of overcharging have just gone crazy. Despite advertising prices for various rolls, no matter what you get in it, you will be charged the highest price. I've often got a 4-5 item roll, and you will still be charged for 8 items. I recently started to ask for the 8 items, out of principal, and now they are charging €7.50 for a breakfast roll. False advertising and overpriced. Insane.

17/09/2025: (Traducido por Google) Un poco de OAP (Original) A little OAP

02/08/2025: The fry, one of the very few traditional chip shops left in Cork, well priced, beautiful food, phone in orders available, and they accept credit cards

23/07/2025: I had haddock and it was not pinboned and when I was eating scales were coming directly in my mouth. It was not descaled as well and the quantity was not enough. Very bad experience with haddock. 1/4 and 1/2 pounders are nice.

05/12/2025: Burnt fried egg . And dirty cutlery. FFS it cost enough too

21/11/2025: This food is gorgeous and the staff and the owner are really nice really nice place to get food, will be going back again next time we are in Cork, thanks for making us so welcome, and for looking after my sister who just came out of hospital! Thank you.

23/11/2025: Don’t care what others say the mega box has saved my life in multiple occasions, I would die for this place

03/11/2025: Great food, especially the mega box!! Spices are lovely and tasty, highly recommended 👌
