The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

17/05/2026: Historic pub in Crosshaven County Cork. Good seating and drink choices.

10/05/2026: Can only review the food and service as didn't order any drinks. Ordered fish and chips. The salad was really good. The chips were overcooked and some were very hard. The fish itself was way overdone. The batter was almost burnt and the fish was swimming in grease. I'm guessing the oil needs to be changed. Service very average.

03/05/2026: Such an enjoyable night ,food was amazing, really lovely atmosphere ,staff were great and desert was dreamy ! Lovely to see jenti forest jewellery on show too . Roz olearv

11/04/2026: This is simply the best restaurant I've ever eaten at in my fifty years on this earth. I am half considering moving to Ireland just to live near this place and eat there for the rest of my life. The food was beyond anything I've eaten, like the sandwich wasn't just a good sandwich that happened to be delicious, when I took a bite through the crust of the bread it crunched like a great baguette but then it was *magic* and I swear it dissolved into an effervescence of flavor that didn't even require chewing, it just melted into pure amazing mouth love. Yes, I am making up phrases to try to describe how good it was. And this was the Sandwich! My son received mussels in a garlic butter white wine sauce (I think) that made his fourteen year old soul want to propose to the cook. He has offered his entire life savings for the recipe. Everything was amazing. The homemade brownie taught my wife that sundaes can be more than just a pile of ice cream, that they can be as delicate a creation as any recipe, and be a special thing. They apologized to us that they were just starting out making lunches and these were all recipes they hadn't gotten to perfect yet... I am almost afraid of how good the established tested and polished recipes for dinners must be. I envy you if you get to find out.

26/04/2026: Very good food in an atmospheric bar and restaurant with lovely staff.

09/03/2026: The dishes are delicious, the servers are lovely, and we’ll gladly come back. 😊

13/05/2026: We came for the set menu on a weekday and the restaurant was relatively quiet. Overall I enjoyed the meal and my personal favourite was the langoustine course, which was light and the langoustine was super fresh. The courses that I didn’t enjoyed was the fish with the prawn broth (v salty) and the main paired with the beetroot sauce and Szechuan pepper - somehow it over complicates the dish and the combination don’t work. One of the course was a round croissant served with some beautiful Irish butter - but again I’m happy with a simple good warm bread that could highlight the flavour of the butter .. instead of putting butter on a croissant that’s already made with a lot of butter.

04/05/2026: An amazing experience, superb tasting menu and paired wines. Impeccable service. The culinary highlight of our 10 day trip to the south and west of Ireland.
