The Wilton
Cork
29/04/2026: The sausgues were brunt but I didn't mind, when me and my mam got to our seats (the high up ones) there was crumbs and food left on the ground. The staff were very kind and nice though. But I do prefer the old Wilton restaurant.
22/04/2026: Visited "new" wilton bar. One word..disgusting. The food was reheated, dry, tasteless. I got vegetable soup that had a thick layer on top. Service was very abrupt. Could tell has not had hospitality training. New refurbishments have takes away from the charm of the wilton bar. No atmosphere. Pity

Holy Smoke
Cork
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.

Cork International Hotel
Cork
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 canât give more than 1 star because of the food issue.

The Quays Bar Tapas & Grill
Cork
15/03/2026: On maps said it is open. However it was closed. Sunday 14:00
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.

The Flying Enterprise
Cork
05/04/2026: Found this place half full but lively and quickly grabbed a table grabbed a beer for myself and a drink menu for my wife and they told me they were not allowed to make drinks even though there were 4 guys doing nothing behind the bar. Boss came by so asked him and said they were too busy. 1st time I heard that. Lovely place inside and looks fun. Didn't eat food but it looks good. Just DO NOT COME if you want anything but beer
01/02/2026: The place itself is charming, very well maintained, and the staff were genuinely friendly. We ordered two glasses of wine, one from Chile and one from New Zealand. To my surprise (Iâm usually not a fan of Chilean wine), both were really good, and the pours were generous. The waiter was lovely and even brought the bottle over so I could see the name of the wine. Zero complaints there.
Also worth mentioning: in January, pints are âŹ4.50, which is a great deal, even though we didnât try them.
Iâm giving 3 stars because we came in mainly due to the advertised snack + pint until 9pm. We ordered the loaded fries with truffle and parmesan. As you can see in the photo, despite being a large plate, theyâre barely âloadedâ at all. They were essentially fries with some parmesan sprinkled on top. Tasty, yes, but calling them âloaded friesâ feels misleading.
When we asked for a bit more sauce (the one you see in the photo), we were told no because the kitchen was closed. I ended up speaking with the manager to explain that this didnât feel fair, and it took him literally two minutes to get it â though not without first insisting again that the kitchen was closed and the chefs were already gone. Honestly, charging âŹ9 for fries with a bit of cheese and a small pot of spiced mayo, and then debating over giving a bit more sauce, really detracted from the experience. We werenât asking for anything to be cooked â just a simple gesture that would have made the experience much more pleasant.
Overall, thank you for the service. I canât say I wouldnât recommend it â there are definitely good things about the place â but with so many options in Cork, itâs probably not somewhere weâd return to.

Lemon Tree
Cork
20/02/2026: Delivered to my home beautiful thanks
09/02/2026: Anytime Iâve tried to order from here, delivery would take over an hour despite living nearby. Ordered tonight and after an hour I called the restaurant they reassured me the order was on the way and after another 20 minutes no sign of food, rang restaurant three more times and they wouldnât pick up.

Jackie Lennox's
Cork
08/10/2024: Favorite chip shop of mine over more than a decade of visiting Cork on occasion. With that said my last visit a few weeks ago ended up with them giving me the wrong order that I did not realize was the case until long away from the shop. Chicken supper instead of the Cod Supper that I ordered. It was still good but it sad that I didn't get one last Cod Supper before they shut down for good this past weekend.
08/10/2024: We grew up with Brian and Duncan salt of the earth the fed the parish badly miss and the there sisters ladies omg theyâre father Jackie mrs Lennox â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
