The best restaurantsof seafood in Cork

25/06/2026: One of the best fish and chips I've had with great seating and a beautiful view. Staff are friendly and the desserts are incredible

15/06/2026: We had coffee and cake one day, and dinner the following day here. Service was fantastic and the food was great.

08/06/2026: Lovely little place in the centre of Kinsale. Brilliant sirloin, excellent scallops (with the surf and turf), nice wine selection by glass or bottle, fabulous frites, and the service is op-notch. Recommended, especially as a special occasion dinner.

26/05/2026: Great small restaurant. No reservation, but very accommodating for the two of us. Steaks were great, desert a serious - WOW! Very pleasant waitstaff. Busy so we waited - but we like busy, we know it’s good!

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

08/08/2026: We had a lovely evening at Mary Ann’s. Highly recommend this place. Service was friendly and prompt. The pints and meals were perfect! We had the pints in the garden and then moved inside for dinner. We enjoyed excellent scallops and hake dishes. We made a reservation.

07/08/2026: We by chance came upon Mary Ann's today in Castletownshend and oh my goodness the food is out of this world! We're Irish, from Dublin and we brought our friends to West Cork for the first time, and we all agreed it's the best food we've had so far! For me, the mussels were the best I've ever had. My husband had the open crab sandwich which was insanely good and everyone else had the chowder which were devoured by all the kids!! The pub is one of those gorgeous oldy worldy pubs with so much character. The staff were so attentive and friendly. It was €65 per family including alcohol which was incredible value. You need to go out of your way to eat here! You will be very happy you did.

29/07/2026: Staff were pleasant but not hugely observant. To begin, we were given a table, but had to clean it ourselves. Our shared starter of chicken wings were clearly reheats as they were cold in the centre, and when told we got an “oh sorry about that”. Three drinks, one cold starter and two dinners came in at €80

17/07/2026: The fish and chips were very good, but the staff were unpleasant, which is rare in Ireland! They really need to improve!

06/08/2026: Fish is obviously frozen, chips a little hard as others have noted. Still, decent enough. €13.50

28/07/2026: Great chipper. We got huge portions of fish and chips. Lovely staff.

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.

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.
