The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

16/12/2025: We had our staff night out last Saturday and we could not be happier. Staff was so friendly and no ask was too big. Service with a smile. Food was extraordinary! There was 26 of us and to get everyone's food absolutely perfect, not an easy task. Waiters remembered everyone's orders and dietary requirements, not a single mishap. Very very impressive! Will definitely come back and just wanted to say thank you to every single one of you, you are some team! Merry Christmas!

08/12/2025: Good European food. We came for dinner in first week of December and thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas menu here. There are options for vegans as well. The desserts were the best. My colleagues enjoyed the steak and duck in particular.

23/11/2025: Very tasty and original cocktails; great service. Recommended!

11/11/2025: We enjoyed delicious cocktails made with peaty Connemara whisky, professionally prepared, and savored refined small plates of lamb and beef, as well as a delectable dessert. The price reflects the quality; I highly recommend it.

17/01/2026: We had afternoon tea and it was absolutely gorgeous. We were celebrating two big birthdays and were really well looked after from start to finish. A big applause to Matt, who did a fantastic job and was on top of everything at all times. He even noticed us looking his way as he passed with drinks and immediately came over with the drinks menu, explained what he had just served in case we wanted the same, and confidently recommended his personal favourite. Amazing upsell, Matt! He also directed us straight to the bar afterwards, making the whole experience seamless. Outstanding service and a lovely celebration – highly recommended.

13/01/2026: Had a nice lunch with the family.

18/12/2025: As always food was tasty and had soul,simple and just cooked on point. If your vegetarian your goosed!! Lovely service if a little disjointed at the end of our meal which is understandable with tables coming in and tables leaving but it's such a relaxing room and somewhere u can enjoy your meal in peace.its bloody hard to run a restaurant and for isaces to be doing it so long and successfully it's a credit to everyone involved..bravo 👏

22/12/2025: Was there last night for a birthday meal in the booth. gave 5 stars for the room but only used the restaurant. Have stayed in the hotel before so I know it’s great. The Mabel Crawford Bistro is beautiful, fantastic food and even better staff. 10/10 can’t wait to go back

29/11/2025: Absolutely disgusting. Will not return

23/11/2025: Wow. What can I say. Amazing service. Literally looked after from the muinet we walked in the door as was ever other customer. Nothing was too much for the staff. Food was also so tasty. Would definitely recommend 100%.

27/12/2025: Went on a Saturday night. Buzzing pub with live music. We didn’t have reservation. Talked with the servers and asked if we could get a table for two. Lucky that they got us a table. We both ordered Irish Lamb Stew and enjoyed it. It had mash and Irish bread with it. Highly recommended

23/12/2025: Nice bar, cozy setting. Reasonable prices, noisy later in the evening.

09/11/2025: Lovely lunch here recently.food is done to perfection and so fresh . Very reasonable prices. Staff super friendly.

17/01/2026: Must have came at a bad time for the kitchen. The Pil Pil Prawns with Chorizo Ham starter was a bit over cooked. The Chorizo ham was over cooked and tasted a bit charred. The Lemon Soul Gougons were lovely, but my Curry was not the best i got there. Desert, lemon tart and cheesecale was great. I love this place for years but this visit was disappointing. As usual, it's fairly full, so expect to be close to others.

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.
