The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

08/06/2025: Had the classic. Great home made sausage with just the right spices. Roll held together till the end. Onions and peppers were tender and fresh.

04/06/2025: Contained in the huge English Market SC ,this place stands out from all the other exceptional vendors. Just a small stall with usually only 3 workers, it can turn out food to die for. All sandwiches are make rite on the spot. You can customize or order any of the house specials. Grab a special, find a quiet spot, (not possible) and enjoy.

15/12/2025: Great value for rooms, good quality 4 star hotel and location. Breakfast was fresh and service was good. Overall very good.

11/10/2025: Good price of €159 (October 2025) w/o breakfast for a twin room. Nice size of room, good bed linen, etc. the check in and check out was very quick too. Good parking space.

25/01/2026: A mighty spot for a pint or delicious fresh sandwich, all at a fair price

31/10/2025: There's nothing like a pint outside here on a summer's day, or a lovely pint by the fire in winter time. Lovely pub, great bar staff.

04/11/2025: I loved the chai latte, the scones, the cakes, can't wait to go back, great atmosphere, lovely view

02/02/2026: Top class and most accommodating. Even better this bank holiday weekend, than when I was last there. Service fantastic, management should be proud of their staff. Nicest roast beef I ever had in a meal out. Keep up the excellent work.

01/02/2026: The food was extremely disappointing and clearly in need of major improvement. We ordered the rice bowls, which were shockingly bland and entirely lacking in flavour—so much so that a basic meal thrown together at home would have been far superior. The desserts were equally poor and felt like an afterthought rather than a finished product. Even the pints were substandard. While the 15–20 minute wait time was understandable given how busy the venue was, it did nothing to excuse the consistently low quality of what was served

05/11/2025: One of the most amazing experiences of my life. The two days we spent at Liss Ard were complete and utter magic! We both loved it so much that we would love to go back and experience more of what this stunning estate has to offer. The staff, location, food and atmosphere was utter perfection! My dream getaway!! Already wishing we could go back ✨

15/10/2025: Liss ard is an absolute dream of a hotel. One feels transported to a long ago fairy tale upon entering the property, and the feeling only increases with exploration of the buildings and grounds. The bar and restaurant were beautiful and served delicious, locally-sourced fare.

26/10/2025: Have been there a couple times recently for family events great selection of Malaysian and Asian dishes as well as steaks and seafood service and atmosphere are excellent

12/09/2025: Nice place, handy location, decent breakfast served by very welcoming, friendly and informative staff 👍👍👍

04/08/2025: Food was great and the service by Kate was excellent.

14/02/2026: Went for valentine's dinner food was savage. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. 0 complaints

31/12/2025: So pleased with this gem on Main Street on the Waterford side of Youghal. Just before Christmas after peak lunch hour, we went for a taste of what Red Store had to offer. We were not disappointed. Two of our party had the pork (one of the specials), one Thai chicken curry and one had the 6oz steak. Food came out piping, and was just poetry on a plate. Desserts of jelly and ice cream, warm apple pie and strawberry cheesecake followed. Pork was succulent but where was the apple sauce (small over sight) and the well done steak was a ‘good tender enjoyable chew’ but missed the onions. Thai chicken curry had a tickle of spice and just right fit portion of rice. The hot Apple pie with ice cream had a perfect measured level of sweetness and softness ( no tough crust). Strawberry cheesecake was not served as a slice but in a wine goblet with dust crumbled biscuit for base and a very strawberry moussy top that was peaked with faux cream. Service was friendly and there was a lovely casual atmosphere to the place with conversation at normal decibel level being feasible. At time of visit / local artist Pauline Neville’s works were on display and her nearby art gallery is very much worth a visit. Great showing!!

30/10/2025: A fabulous dining experience at restaurant Chestnut. We had the four course set taster menu with wine pairing. From the warm greeting and service from Elaine and team to the DELICIOUS food prepared by Rob and the kitchen team the experience was incredible. The food was thought provoking and very tasty, Thank you 🙏

30/10/2025: Had the most amazing experience at The Chestnut Restaurant. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable of all their produce and dishes. We couldn't fault anything we ate and the wine pairing was fabulous too. Yes! It's not cheap but you know why when you taste the delights they offer.

07/12/2025: Very nice place, lovely atmosphere. Good food and dessert 🍨. Myself and my family we really enjoyed it.
