Restaurants Cork

Cork restaurants can be found in the urban, village and town areas of Cork city, Kinsale town, Clonakilty, Bantry. However, they are not limited to these areas alone. Numerous Cork dining establishments, pub restaurants, cafes, bistros and coffee shops are located outside of villages, cities and towns. The south Atlantic coast of Ireland provides the backdrop for many of Cork’s eateries, so it’s no surprise to find a good selection of seafood and fish on Cork restaurant menus. The town of Kinsale town prides itself on its seafood restaurants.

Restaurants in Cork may offer contemporary European or traditional Irish cuisine. Cork is a central location for food production in the region and has a long tradition in the field, with meat based puddings including black pudding and drisheen having been developed in the county. Drisheen is Ireland’s answer to Scotland’s haggis. Cheeses include Milleens, Durrus and Coolea. Any or all of these foodstuffs may be served as accompaniments or side dishes in Cork dining establishments.

Cork restaurants can offer fresh food that has been locally sourced. As with elsewhere in the country, you will also find a broad range of world and international cuisines on offer, including Chinese, Indian and Thai restaurants.
