The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

21/04/2026: Always hits the spot. Best Gastro food in Kinsale. Offer Gluten Free options too.

26/03/2026: Pleasant seaside pub with very good fish and chips

26/03/2026: I stood at the door waiting to be seated for about 5 minutes where 2 waitresses walked passed me twice and completely ignored me. I decided to just take a seat myself because the place wasn’t that busy and there was plenty of seats. Sat for 10 minutes waiting to order and was completely ignored again. In the end I just walked out. Absolutely terrible service and won’t be going back ever again

15/03/2026: Delicious food and very friendly service

08/04/2026: Great food and service. Came in as it was opened. Staff very friendly and attentive. Good was great. And an amazing view.

02/04/2026: We were passing and one of the girls said that they stopped here years ago and that it was good. So after a short wall and photo stop at the entrance of golf club in we went. The place was absolutely spotless and a lovely glowing fire throwing out heat. The manager was polite and friendly informative and not pushy! Service was great and the coffee as the food was spot on. Only 2 options for small people. The soup was really flavoursome. Great stop highly recommended

22/03/2026: We had the most fabulous stay at Ahernes in Youghal. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was wonderfully personable — the kind that makes you feel genuinely cared for and welcome. We chose the tasting menu and it was exceptional: generous portions, beautifully prepared dishes, and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Ann looked after us throughout the evening and she was absolutely wonderful — attentive, warm, and so lovely. Breakfast was superb, the perfect finish to our stay. David and Gaye are such warm, welcoming hosts; you can feel the pride and heart they put into everything.

07/03/2026: Just had a lovely stay here. Seafood was amazing, service is so friendly and I love the old school ease with which everything was done. Breakfast also superb. Room was big and clean. Carpark round the back, great pub 2 doors down (Berties). The owners love what they do and it shows..

24/02/2026: Nice country pub atmosphere with a fire lite stove. The service was professional. I ordered a steak which was overcooked first and was taken back, then it was undercooked on the second attempt. I ended up getting a burger and chips which I wasn’t charged for which I felt was the good way of dealing with the situation.

21/02/2026: Amazing food and lovely place!!

23/03/2026: We held another small family function with 17 in attendance at the West Cork Hotel on Saturday 21st March. As usual fine food and plenty of it with Excellent service. Thank you to Aidan who took the booking, to Annmarie who stopped by to say Hello and to the staff who served the meal especially the wonderful lady, whose name I don't know, who was able to elegantly carry four plates at once and was so helpful and efficient.

08/03/2026: Already posted review previously, just adding photos today 🙂

06/03/2026: Awesome spot to enjoy a bite and snap a pic on the water - prefect for a lunch to go after our Titanic exhibit tour! Thanks Haylee for such great service! Highly recommend a fish and chips with chowder soup!

01/03/2026: Staff were friendly, very welcoming and we were seated quickly, drinks were ordered and delivered quickly, however we weren't asked again were we alright for drinks. The food wasn't impressive, the steak was more fat then meat, chips were dry, looked like they were reheated or recooked, the place got very chaotic when a group booking arrived late. It was uncomfortable hearing the staff talk about it while leaving the group waiting. It was expensive, the quality of food did not match price. Over €90 for two courses for two people. Money not well spent.

02/04/2026: The food in this place is so strange, the veggie burger especially needs much improvement, it's only a burger bun, a green isle veggie burger and sliced tomatoes on it, no sauce on it at all, it is disgusting, and a pretty sorry excuse of a burger especially when it's around €18 and a supermacs veggie burger is 3x better than the one served here and is also cheaper

19/03/2026: Was pretty good. A good variety of food to choose from Presentation of food was great.

23/02/2026: Try the buffalo chicken wings,top class

13/12/2025: Really nice food and coffee, good staff , I gave 4 stars for atmosphere because it was uncomfortably hot in the restaurant .

04/04/2026: Hands down the best Rueben I’ve ever had! Try the Raspberry Granola bar too! Quaint and adorable little takeout shop!

23/02/2026: Always a delight! The best pastries and sandwiches around, well worth a visit!

04/01/2026: This is a great place to stop on your way to or coming back from the westerly extremes of west cork. Great food and coffee that tastes like coffee. Mince pies to die for. Keep it going!!!
