The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

06/06/2026: They were able to fit us in at the last minute on a busy Saturday night. We were absolutely blown away by the creativity of the menu and the food was outstanding. Our server, Victor, was friendly, helpful, and made our meal one of the most memorable we had in Ireland.

06/06/2026: This place is fine dining disguised as casual. Loose and laid back, Victor returned my call and fit us into a busy night with incredible service. The small plates were tasty and not heavy. This is a perfect stop between a day of touring heading back into Cork.

27/10/2025: Unpleasant experience. We waited at the bar for around 20 minutes without being acknowledged. Despite approaching staff several times to ask about getting a table, we continued to be ignored. Unfortunately, we decided to leave.

28/09/2025: The food here was genuinely outstanding... chicken curry with half chips & rice - as good as anywhere Ive eaten. Superb / friendly service also.

05/02/2026: Great place. Great food. Great staff. Hopefully all that will continue after the sale.

13/12/2025: Amazing food 5 of us ate and everyone was more than happy. Steak was so tasty and cooked to perfection the mushroom was unbelievable onky thing I would improve on was the chips. Some way too crunchy but overall delicious. Staff are very friendly was a lovely lunch. Will be back.

07/05/2026: Went for breakfast with friends

30/11/2025: Soup was chunky flavoured water with hard bread , roast beef was like a ready made meal from centra , no flavour to potatoes and veg was hard

31/08/2026: Food was excellent, service was excellent staff were friendly and very helpful and attentive, well worth visiting even just for dining. Will visit again

08/04/2026: Soup of the day was fabulous-best soup I have had in a restaurant, veggie burger was also very delicious. Great atmosphere too.

11/03/2026: Not a cafe anymore. Seriously need to update your Google entry to prevent people turning up to be disappointed.

19/02/2026: Please be advised, this is no longer a cafe! Tried to visit in Feb26 and it only does interiors. I’m sure the interiors are lovely. The lady in the Top forecourt across the way said the cafe is gone now.

17/05/2026: This estate and it's gardens are no longer open to the public. We attempted to visit but the gates were closed.

02/05/2026: You can’t walk around the grounds anymore as it is closed for public completely

23/07/2026: I come here every now and again for lunch during my work break and sometimes for a quick dinner. The food quality is very high as is the environment. The service is always fab, even during the lunch rush you’ll be met with a friendly smile and a good service. Keep in mind your server might be a bit faster with what they say around these times. ( 12-2PM ) , but that won’t affect your experience. My go to order is a toasted pork burrito, and I would personally recommend the pork. The chicken is the most popular but the pork has more flavour. A small burrito usually does it for me, and fills me up but it depends on yourself. Regardless I do recommend going in, and giving it a try. The staff are always lovely and don’t mind you trying sauces, meats or salads on spoons before you put it into your burrito/bowl so you know you’ll get your moneys worth. Great Staff, Great management. P.S the Guacamole is more than worth the price it tastes quite authentic and the guac and chips deal for 5€ is such a nice treat if you’re getting dinner.

07/06/2026: Dont bother ordering online for collection they wont look at it untill you are there even though i recieved a notification that order was confirmed and was given a time for collection and also they got the order wrong even at that. Wont be going back.

27/12/2025: Food not great the hotel needs Upgrade and more staff at parties and weddings . They give a resent glass of wine . Good location right in the middle of Bandon Kid friendly I am sure it’s great value

21/08/2026: I was overcharged for a Guinness even though it was already paid for in cash. Wont be going back. I also found my chicken curry full of overcooked chicken.

12/08/2026: Went to the Killumney Inn for lunch today..hadnt been there for a long time....brilliant menu with huge variety of food options . Top quality food and the service was fantastic...I had salmon with potatoes and vegetables with white wine sauce on the side...My husband had lasagne with garlic bread and huge portion of chips..plenty of food perfectly cooked and lovely quality..We definitely will recommend to friends and families and plan another visit in the near future. Very satisfied customers and phenomenal value for money.

27/06/2026: I ordered the chicken and stuffing toastie. All I got was dry floppy untoasted bread with cold chicken . Very disappointed . I also requested takeaway cutlery and was told they didn't have it available. I then asked a different member of staff who gave me takeaway cutlery straight away. So I was lied to, and given a cold meat sandwich when I asked for hot

28/03/2026: A great bar and restaurant. Our family just spent a couple of evenings in The Townhouse and we were so well looked after. Really lovely food and reasonably priced. We will be back again!

20/07/2025: Lovely terraces area to look out at the coast. Lovely staff and the wine was fabulous!

04/07/2025: Truly the most considerate staff going. I’ve never seen so many waiters and waitresses (amongst others) work so perfectly. I could only dream of service this good again

18/08/2026: You can choose to take away or eat in.

18/08/2026: We waited by the sign as instructed to be seated, but despite the staff seeing us standing there, nobody came over to help. We ended up waiting around 10 minutes before stopping one of the staff members ourselves to ask if there was a table available. The food was fresh and tasty, and overall it’s a good option in the area if you’re looking for a traditional fish and chips. The staff were friendly as well. For example, one of the beers we ordered was warm, and they kindly replaced it with a cold beer from another brand at no extra cost.

13/08/2026: We arrived close to closing time so they did not have any chicken left however the food we got was fresh tasty and served with courtesy.

05/08/2026: Very clean shop, friendly staff, and fresh, tasty food. Great service every time. Highly recommend.

08/06/2026: Boutique comfort with perfect view of the harbour. Dined in their sister property, The Blue Haven Hotel which was incredible.

07/06/2026: Right in the heart of Kinsale, rooms are nice and the staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent.
