The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

31/05/2026: Stayed in Ahernes recently for 3 nights. We couldn’t be happier with the very friendly welcome from David and the team. The food was excellent catering for a coeliac without any issues. The home made bread was ‘the best ever’….. thanks Anne!, we left with the recipe! A super location for a relaxing break.

24/05/2026: Excellent food but on the pricey side. Staff very helpful and friendly.

15/07/2026: Original and very tasty fast food. I recommend the southern fried chicken wrap with fries. Awesome!!!

08/07/2026: Staff were so friendly and chatty, food was 10/10 homemade onion rings were absolutely gorgeous best in cork by far,

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: Best meal of our trip to Ireland, and we ate many good meals. The blade steak was TO. DIE. FOR. The toffee cheesecake dessert, mouthwatering. The staff was friendly and accommodated our questions. We stumbled upon this place, and boy are we thankful we did!!

21/07/2026: We visited Priory Coffee Co. in Youghal on Sunday with my wife, and we had a wonderful experience. The coffee was absolutely delicious, the food was really tasty, and the ladies serving the tables were very kind, friendly, and always smiling. It was a lovely place to relax and enjoy a great coffee and meal. We will definitely come back

23/05/2026: I went here with a friend for a takeaway coffee and I could not recommend it more! The atmosphere was cosy, the staff were friendly and the wait for our drinks was nonexistent! There are many options for people who do not drink coffee also, for example chai lattes, so there's something for everyone here.

15/07/2026: So, if you're looking to order a vegan burger here, I can only recommend driving somewhere else. The burger was an unseasoned falafel patty with very little lettuce. A single leaf and a tomato adorned the plate. The waitresses were friendly, but we even had to ask for ketchup. The halloumi burger was significantly better. It's a shame there weren't any better vegan options. That was a real disappointment. There wasn't even any vegan mayonnaise offered with the fries. So, I wouldn't recommend this place for vegans. :( At around €17.50 per burger, it's quite expensive. We wondered why we were paying so much.

04/07/2026: We didn’t eat just a quick drink in a traditional Irish pub

10/07/2026: Beautiful food and very pleasant staff

04/07/2026: Speckled door is in a fantastic location with amazing views and helpful and kind staff. Also the food menu is fantastic.

05/07/2026: Highly recommend!!! Food was delicious, very, very tasty. Nice view. Good service. Definitely will come again. Thank you.

03/06/2026: Nice cosy restaurant with amazing views over looking the beach. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Would recommend highly

20/06/2026: The best Pizza I've had since 1999! The charme of the service and bartender. The new pool table...

10/05/2026: Outstanding place..a real gem of rural Ireland,with the most interesting patrons..

27/05/2026: I got the Eggs Royal and was quite disappointed. The hollandaise was foamy and cold, and the dish came with no garnish or vegetables, so it felt very plain and uninspired. The sourdough also tasted stale and flat. The service was good though, and the view was beautiful, which definitely helped save the experience a little 🌊☕️

10/05/2026: Really good food,nice atmosphere.

18/04/2026: Saturday morning, fast seating at inside table, great service and generous portions (panini and latte). Local dine in cafe and central location in heart of town. Limited menu but quality food. Recommended.

10/02/2026: (Traducido por Google) Tuvimos una parada más hermosa aquí para el almuerzo. Estaba extremadamente ocupado en ese momento, pero el personal fue excelente (Original) Had a most beautiful stop off here for lunch. It was extremely busy at the time but the staff were superb

17/06/2026: Very friendly staff, great food at a very reasonable price.

31/05/2026: We came on a chance while visiting Cork, because it looked like an interesting mix of Irish and Thai cuisines. We had a gigantic chicken burger which was great and a delicious Thai red curry which was actually yellow but nonetheless very good. Portions are huge, you would not come here for atmosphere or decor as it's inside not a very glamorous small shopping centre where you need a key to access the toilet. All female staff couldn't be nicer or more accommodating, if we are ever back this way we will be sure to be back and thank you!

03/06/2026: Just back from a lovely weekend at the Carrigaline Court. The hotel was in a great location for visiting Fota Wildlife Park. The room was modern, clean, and comfortable, and the food was excellent throughout our stay. Breakfast buffet was very good, with plenty of choice. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay again.

26/05/2026: A lovely hotel in Carrigaline, with bus links to Cork City and Ringaskiddy NMCI. Church opposite and a short walk to local pubs and shops. Very nice and clean hotel with friendly local staff. Will definitely stay here again.

07/07/2026: A great place to go out for dinner. Great staff and the man in charge is a very genuine guy. Have been in many times but the standards never drop. Fair play!!

27/06/2026: The Breakfast was very average . The fried egg was rock hard as was the black pudding however the service was excellent and the staff super friendly. Very clean and lovely outside seating.

04/07/2026: Really good and affordable lobster roll, very impressed

01/06/2026: The new Supper Club deli catered the day two of our wedding weekend with a mix of the most delicious sandwiches. Everything was so fresh and they even accommodated for my gluten free aunt. I would recommend them to anyone looking for catering like that in the Kinsale area! 10/10

17/06/2026: Friendly staff and relaxing environment for lunch or coffee

10/06/2026: My go to for quick and simple meal in Kanturk, every time I am back I go at least once, they have been consistent for years and never fail. My first time back with my son and he was very happy with the choice and the lovely waiter who made him feel welcome.
