The best restaurantsof seafood in Cork

07/05/2026: Excellent food, service and location

04/05/2026: Best fish and chips I ever had 🤩. I live in uk but this is crazy. Batter was very thin but crispy - exactly how I love it and the tartare sauce homemade delicious yummy. Will definitely come back here to have more

04/06/2026: Super dog friendly both in accommodation and dining/bar areas. Food, drinks, staff and cleanliness were all amazing. Only note is a dressing table would be a great addition to the bedroom.

03/06/2026: Understaffed during a Monday evening, so they had to work very hard, but did so, to their credit, with smiles on their faces. The fish and chips and burger were very good. We stayed here on recommendation and because of that didn't do our normal research, regretfully not reading the Salty Dog's small print so were surprised when told they did not serve breakfasts on Mondays and Tuesdays and the pub was completely closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Location is great if you want to visit Ballycotton, however I recommend you do so on a weekend. On Mondays and Tuesdays everywhere else in the village is shut. Our room was pretty small and hot in the unexpected May warmth - which, I guess, we shouldn't complain about. The noise from the air conditioner outside the window was intrusive and sadly this unit was not for the room... On the plus side the room had a great view of the lighthouse. To summarise: good place for a pub meal meal but less so to stay. Addition: we checked out after only 1 of the 3 nights we booked and to their credit they have refunded us.

01/05/2026: The food was excellent. Both waitresses were very friendly.

10/04/2026: Was spot on. Got surf & turf, was so good. Took 6 days to find good food. Staff was so nice, if your late dinning do a reservation. We are from Texas and steaks are everywhere. It's nice to get a steak that's remind me of home.

07/04/2026: Lovely authentic place. Good atmosphere. The clam chowder was excellent.

25/03/2026: Solid gaff , good food and service but a little pricey for a pub. Proper good Irish pub though if you're a foreigner looking for authenticity. Great mint of Murphys there

09/06/2026: Popped in for chowder and pint after a local race. Was a small crowd in for pre wedding drinks and staff weren’t able. Ordered my pint and chowder for a nice waitress. Went outside, had to get my own water. Pint came and then the chowder, no napkin, no knife for the butter etc. Chowder was nice, nothing special. Great location and potential - staff and service could have been better.

09/06/2026: Disappointing stay- as a returning guest I will not return anymore. Check in got off on a poor note. We travelled 3hrs to the hotel in bad weather conditions, arrived late in the evening. We were left standing at reception while the receptionist engaged in general chit chat with a guest from the bar who stood drinking his pint. No problem waiting, but we were not even acknowledged until they were done chatting after some time. We were then informed of a power outage. No back up generators were available, we checked into our dark room and could not use the toilet or shower facilities due to no power. The receptionist advised we could travel to a town 30min away for evening dinner as this town may have electricity. The power had been out for some time, I felt it may have been an option for the hotel to contact guests who had not yet checked in and inform them re food provisions. As mentioned we travelled 3hrs and had driven past the town suggested to us for dinner. That said, the receptionist was obliging and phoned us to say the power had returned. We turned and went back to the hotel for dinner. This was highly disappointing. I sent my meal back as the chicken was half hot and half cold in the middle. My partners meal also fell far below acceptable standard especially for the cost. A burger from a takeaway would have been better standard as the bun crumbled it was so burned. Some of our food was dropped to the incorrect table also and was not prepared until after we had finished our meal. However, the wait staff were extremely helpful and friendly and apologetic of the situation. We did not have to pay for some of the meal. Our room was extremely hot and stuffy even with windows open during the night. At 6am in the morning we realised we were in an adjoining family room, as we woke to a young child crying. The noise appeared extremely close due to only having a door in the room separating us from the family. €225 for a room only rate, hugely disappointing and poor value for money. We stayed approximately 4years ago and returned due to having had a positive experience and enjoying our stay. We had also eaten in the restaurant during this stay and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Receptionist on check out did not ask how our stay was and allow the opportunity for feedback. Limited in accommodation in Schull doesn’t leave much options for alternative accommodation, I would suggest travelling from a nearby town instead of staying in this particular overpriced, underwhelming accommodation.

15/03/2026: We showed up on a busy Sunday evening and everyone was super lovely and accommodating. Great food and overall atmosphere

02/01/2026: Not respect full staff. Visiting again and again to leave the place early.

10/05/2026: Obnoxious woman at the till, which is a shame as the food was amazing, especially the smash burger, curry sauce and chips are very nice as well. Experience when ordering did however put a damper on everything.

22/04/2026: I got, I ordered a fish supper very nice and a generous size chunky and fresh plenty for two people
