Been coming here for a while now, and the fish and chips never let me down. Cod&#39;s always flaky, batter stays crisp without being greasy. Kids&#39; meal deal is decent too, keeps the little ones happy without breaking the bank. Portions are fair for what you pay. Not the cheapest spot in town, but you get what you pay for.

Grabbed bar seats without a booking and the corned beef was proper tender. Staff were sound to chat with too. Decent feed in Cork.

Popped in after wandering around the city centre, near the English Market. Got the food hot and brought over, which was a nice change from the usual counter pickup. Self-order kiosks are handy enough. Tables were a bit sticky though, could do with a wipe. Fine for a quick bite.

The tasting menu was lovely &mdash; the cod in champagne cream sauce really stood out. Duck was great too. Only thing is the room felt a bit cramped, but the food made up for it.

Tucked away in a quiet courtyard, really nice relaxed spot. Porridge was spot on, though I wish they&#39;d a better wine list to go with it. Still, great for a slow morning.

The seafood risotto was the standout&mdash;prawns, mussels, and monkfish all cooked properly. Rich base, not too heavy. Cocktails were decent too. One of the better spots around for that dish.

Nice cocktails and a menu that&rsquo;s got plenty of options without being too much. Prices are a bit steep but you&rsquo;re paying for the quality. Solid spot for a proper dinner.

Decent spot. Pasta had a nice little kick and the pizza was pretty good, though toppings were a bit light. Wine&#39;s a touch pricey but staff were sound.

The castle view from our table was unreal &mdash; proper postcard stuff. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but you&#39;re really paying for the setting. Enjoyed it though.

The lamb stew was spot on again&mdash;fall-apart tender, just like every other time I&#39;ve been here. That pie special was decent too, though the stew&#39;s the reason I keep coming back.

The lamb was tender and properly seasoned, no fuss. Room was quiet enough to actually enjoy it. Service got a bit lost at the end, but they were slammed.

The cod was done right, flaky and tender. The ceviche crostini were a nice little starter, fresh and zingy. They give you proper homemade bread with farm butter, which I always appreciate. Portion sizes were decent for the price, not huge but fair. Felt like they actually put thought into the menu. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for a quick bite. Place has a decent vibe, staff were sound. Got the ribs though and they were a bit of a letdown&mdash;pretty bland, barely any sauce on them. Maybe I just picked wrong, but I&#39;d probably try something else next time.

The chicken Maryland is still as good as ever &mdash; proper old-school takeaway feel. Glad the new owner kept things simple.

Been coming here for a while now, and the chimichanga never lets me down. Got the pollo with mushrooms and sauce this time too, still solid. Place gets a bit loud inside, but the music keeps it lively. Good spot if you know what you&#39;re after.

Stopped in for a late lunch and went straight for the fish and chips. Massive portions, the batter was properly crispy and the fish was flaky. Mussels were fresh too, no complaints there. Place was busy but we got a table quick enough. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try more of the menu.

Stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned. The bar itself has a proper old-school feel, wooden stools and all. Service was friendly without hovering. Just a decent spot to sit with a pint and not be rushed.

Lamb shank was spot on. Owner knew his stuff about the local food, that was a nice touch. Service was grand, not in your face.

Stopped in for dinner last week and ordered the fish of the day. Really fresh, cooked simply, no fuss. Got a window table which was nice for people-watching. Service was friendly enough, though we did wait a bit between courses. Portion size felt right for the price. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stumbled in here on a Tuesday night and it was packed. Live music was just starting up, proper cozy vibe. Staff were sound, got me a pint quick enough. Didn&#39;t try the food but the quiz night they had on looked like a laugh. Decent spot if you&#39;re after a proper local.

The mix doner platter was a proper feast&mdash;lamb and chicken both tender, plenty of flavour. Sides were decent too. Finished with tiramisu, which was nicely balanced, not too sweet. Prices felt fair for what you get. Only thing is the place gets busy, so you might wait a bit for a table.

The tagliatelle al rag&ugrave; was proper Italian, not the usual tourist stuff. Reminded me of my nonna&#39;s cooking. Pasta had the right bite.
