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

08/05/2026: Outstanding food from start to finish

08/05/2026: Absolutely amazing gastronomic experience at The Salty Dog in Ballycotton. The tuna tataki was honestly some of the best tuna I’ve had in a very long time — comparable to what I had in Hawaii. The chef clearly knows exactly what he’s doing. The bruschetta was also outstanding, full of flavour and beautifully prepared. Everything we had was excellent. Add to that the amazing views, great atmosphere, and friendly service, and it made for a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended.

31/12/2025: Just gorgeous food and everything about this restaurant is 5*

01/11/2025: Small menu with top quality ingredients prepared with exceptional attention to detail. Had the Rib-eye, some of the best I’ve had. Solid wine list and an educated staff to help you make a good choice.

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

05/05/2026: I don’t usually leave reviews, but got an email post my stay requesting one if possible. I stayed at the Schull Harbour hotel recently in their self catering apartments (2 x 6 bedroom apartments) with a group. Overall we had a very nice experience. The location is fab, right in the centre of Schull and easily accessible to many west cork towns. It was a great base for our group. The receptionist was really nice in any dealings we had with her and the apartments are a good size and are well equipped. One of the 6 bed apartments has a far bigger living space than the other, so maybe bear that in mind when booking if you anticipate spending a considerable amount of time in the property. We added on breakfast each morning which was a great standard and had a really good à la carte selection. We also had a dinner on one of the evenings from the set menu in the bar. We were there for an occasion and the management team had kindly allowed me to make substitutions to the menu. The food was very good and the portions were generous. I would say the bar staff did struggle with the service and honestly seemed pretty overwhelmed at times even though it really wasn’t that busy. At first it was quite stressful to be honest, but we adjusted our plans for after the meal and once we weren’t under time pressure we were able to relax and just embrace the chaos! I do want to be clear - the issues were not due to lack of effort or attention, it was clear that the team were really trying and working hard which is all that can be asked! I would say that more training might help the team and the customer experience. I imagine as it’s early in the peak season there might have been a lot of new team members still finding their feet. There was live music which was really nice! My one real true negative note from our stay is that the pool and leisure facilities were out of service due to an equipment issue with the HVAC system. I understand these things can happen and are outside the managements control - but I was disappointed that the hotel continued to insist that the facilities are “complimentary”. I disagree with this, I booked this accommodation specifically to have access to the use of these facilities for the group - so I was disappointed that they seemed to think these were not part of the base rate for our stay. They didn’t see the need to offer even a token of compensation / gesture of good will in response to the issue (even a bottle of wine for the apartments or something small). I had specifically booked this location for these facilities and paid more than alternative options so that we would have access to them. We were lucky, we had nice weather so were able to pivot to other activities. but if the weather had been bad this would have hugely negatively impacted our stay. Overall we still really enjoyed our stay and I would definitely come back again. The staff were nice and were clearly working very hard, so a big shout out to the team.

11/04/2026: We came down from Dunboyne and we were looking forward to the swimming pool sauna and the other facilities. I got an email on the day we left telling us that the swimming pool and all the facilities were closed. As this was part of the package provided we thought that we might get a reduction in the price as the pool and facilities were still out of order 5 days after we left. The main TV just has the terrestrial stations which was disappointing as we wanted to watch the Masters golf. The manager said it was too expensive? Is that why the swimming pool was closed? Makes you wonder.

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.

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

07/04/2026: Fantastic fish and chips - good salt and vinegar use. Onion rings were the star of the show. Small dine-in area.
