J. S.

Amazing experienceas always, our group had a few dietary requirements which the staff accommodated quickly. Beautiful setting and great food. Was super jealous that I didn't order the Rosscarbery Sausage in a bap, but next time!! Coffee was decent too!

M. E. G.

Charming location, great food and service. We had beef salad, potato and parsnip gratin, our little one had the chicken option from the kids menu, and everything was delicious. We even found some space for the blackberry sundae - yum. Another great meal at one of Market Lane restaurant group’s restaurants! Thanks again!!

S. W.

Wow. We stumbled on this place and are so glad we did. Terrific ambiance, sincere staff, and exemplary meals. One of us had the hake dinner, one the vegan lentil cakes. Both were divine! We were satisfied but succumbed to the dessert menu regardless. ☺️ The vegan chocolate cake was a real treat. The room was so cozy and pretty with tasteful holiday lights that we could have sat there for hours.

This is a lovely cafe, situated and located ideally in the beautiful BlackRock castle, the staff are friendly, the coffee is top notch and the desert speaks for itself in the photos.. absolutely delicious. A cafe with a great view, friendly staff, good coffee, and fantastic dessert, what more do you need? For sure will be returning here on a regular basis.

B. L.

Was here for lunch, very impressed. Food was delicious. I had the bacon sandwich which was so so tasty, so big I had to bring half home! It was a meal in itself! My son had the chicken and he really enjoyed it. The cafe was very well managed, checked Covid certs, tables well spread out, plenty of sanitizer so we felt very comfortable. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Would well recommend visiting here.

C. T.

Lovely food with a great choice of different cuisines and all reasonable priced. The castle provides a fantastic setting, especially on a nice Summers day or evening. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The Caramel Brownie with Ice-Cream was particularly good, and definitely worth the trip alone.

P. F.

Excellent lunch in such a lovely setting. Staff were very attentive. I will be back, but I’ll now know booking is essential especially in sunny weather when an awning is advised.

M.

A. A.

Quite a gastronomic experience and a great service!

F. T.

A. L.

Nice food, do not advise steak, but the atmosphere and staff is amazing. Sonia was our waitress, very polite and kind which is very important she make our dinner like a 5 star. Thank you 🌟❤️ We will come back definitely

P. D.

Stunning location on the grounds of a castle next to the River Lee. It doesn't get better than that. The staff is fantastic, super friendly, and attentive. The food came fast, and it was delicious. The premises were immaculate, and the bathroom was getting cleaned every 30 minutes. Parking is limited outside the restaurant; however, there is a public parking lot outside the castle. I hight recommend going here, and I would suggest making reservations.

N. M.

Nice setting and we enjoyed the experience but the brunch dishes didn't really work for us. The eggs were very much over cooked and dry, and the dish didn't really come together. Most of the individual items were okay but overall quite boring combinations. We also had scones and these left a bitter after taste. After this experience we are unlikely to return unless something obvious changes in their kitchen. I must say the staff are very friendly and welcoming though and with an improvement in the kitchen I could easily change this to 5 stars.

J. C.

We really enjoyed the food at The Castle Cafe. The pate and the steak with mushrooms etc were lovely. The kids chicken goujons were made with decent chicken fillets. The staff were efficient, professional and very welcoming. We'll definitely make a return visit when next in Cork.

E. O.

Fabulous place to go for breakfast or lunch,or just a coffee,service was excellent,plenty space,highly recommended

S. G.

Visited for lunch with a group of nine. Bread with dips as a starter which was okay, but I don't need to have it again. Next fish'n'chips. The fish was a bit tasteless, but the chips were good and the tartar sauce exceptional. My dessert was a cake based on apple, cinnamon and hazelnut, served warm, amazing! The service was overall pretty quick and our waiter a quite funny guy. Overall one of the better experiences in Cork.

J. Q.

Great cafe to bask in the sunshine on great food.The courtyard is fab.You wouldn't think you were in Ireland,if only we had this weather most of the year.Lots of tourists visiting the castle & you never know when you'd bump into a celebrity as well.Food is on the expensive side but very tasty.

S. O.

Had a lovely breakfast/brunch at Blackrock Castle cafe last Sunday. I was a lone diner with my dog and they had lots of outdoor tables some with umbrella cover in case of showers and a wondeful hot water hotel service to keep diners warm - much appreciated! The service was quick and hospitable and my dish a lovely avocado toast with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce and a cup of Barry's tea on the side. Couldn't ask for much more on a Sunday morning, will be back again asap! :)

T. C.

We had a communion party in the side room. Friendly staff, great food and quick service and very accommodating to arrange tables as requested + allow for us to bring own cake.

A. M. M. A.

Always a good time to be had here. The food, as usual, was fantastic. The service was excellent and we all felt very safe with the level of adherence to Covid regulations.

C. M.

Very nice place, with very kind servers and good quality food

C. M.

Good food and fab setting but no heaters in the outdoor area make this a no go in the evening. Only book an outdoor table when there's guaranteed sunshine!

N. N.

Very pleasant cafe overlooking the castle. The risotto with wild mushrooms was very good, as was the hake. The key lime pie was delicious.

T. W.

Every visit is a great visit. Love the food here. Great surroundings inside the castle wall, great to eat outside on fine days.

C. O.

Great food & lovely staff who provide excellent service. All's good. Oh, & a fab setting.

D. r.

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. I had been meaning to visit this cafe over the past few months but due to the current pandemic my plans were altered on numerous occasions but I finally visited this cafe and availed of their take away option. The food I got here was excellent. I wish to return in the coming months when a sit down option become available as the area itself is beautiful as well as both exterior/interior of the cafe being well maintained and decorated, but for now I will continue to utilize the take away option. As seen in many of the other reviews of this cafe the staff were infact very friendly. I will be returning here and looking forward to sampling other treats on the menu. Cheers from another happy customer.

M. D.

Great food and reasonable prices, in beautiful setting.

a. l.

Really nice food, excellent staff.

I. O.

It was my first time going to Blackrock Castle and the cafe, the grounds are lovely and that coffee shop it a nice addition. Would have been good if you could sit down inside as it was baltic yesterday. Coffee was lovely and exceptional service

A. S.

Lovely food and excellent staff. Had to order takeout due to COVID. Kid’s meals were excellent value. Will definitely be back when fully open again.

S. J.

Great service and food as what I expected thanks for everything well done

A. A.

Great food, great atmosphere, wonderful staff don't miss it!

M. P.

Great food, great service. Very hygienic, the team are well prepared. The outdoor seating is brilliant a real bonus and no reservations are required for outside. Love the outdoor setup whereby you find your own table and then make your order at the desk setup outside. Very quick service and always amazing food

D. O.

A superb location ideally situated on the banks of the Lee. Staff most welcoming, courteous and professional. There is a great choice of menu which offers something for everyone.

L. M.

I absolutely loved eating lunch at The Castle Cafe yesterday. The seating arrangement is fantastic, really spread out, comfortable, modern and the staff are so friendly and efficient. My work mates and I could have sat there all day happily. The food was very tasty and refreshing per usual. Thank you to The Castle Cafe for all the efforts they are going to. I look forward to returning there soon again.

P. C.

Wonderful outdoor and indoor dining experience with a royal backdrop! The food is even better than the views!

C. C. C.

Cant wait for this to reopen. Outside r inside service is just the same. So friendly . Food always good. I love their scones. Even got a hot water bottle for our laps when sitting out. Open space and tables apart. So if it is only outside you can be this is place to stop and snack r have more .all covid protocols in place

S.

Fabulous food and lovely setting for outdoor dining 🥰

c.

Positioned nearly within the castle walls this lovely place is an ideal stop off for locals and visitors to the area. Whether it be a simple cup of coffee or a lovely bite to eat the Castle Cafe has it to offer. I love to cycle out sometimes from City to Monkstown and stop of for coffee myself to rejuvenate the body. Well worth a visit.

K. K.

Outdoor are very spacious Coffee n scones excellent Service professional and friendly

E. P.

M. M.

Absolutely gorgeous so clean, staff super friendly. Felt very safe there. Tasty food. Would recommend it highly

C. M.

A fun little place to have lunch. It's a bit of a tourist trap but it's beautiful and has great food.

G. L.

Very pleasant experience, staff friendly and attendant. I ordered fillet steak, medium, whilst it was more medium rare than medium but nonetheless very enjoyable. We were a party of six and everyone enjoyed the food and occasion.

P. K. O.

A friend and I were so lucky to get a table at about 11.30 yesterday and enjoyed a lovely brunch.

N. B.

Excellent place to have dinner or some hot drinks or a nice beer on a sunny day.

E.

Friendly, bustling, lovely setting, excellent food and efficient yet polite staff. Vegans catered for, yippee!? Although my friend (see photo) had a producers breakfast; big and hearty.

T. Y.

Food is great. Service is great.

G. O.

I didnt even realise I was sitting rubbing my back until a staff member came and put a pillow behind me. Talk about going the extra mile ... well impressed. Excellent food too cant wait to go back

D. K.

Fab setting, great food, super service

C. S.

We had a team dinner here on Thursday, July 11, 2019, and enjoyed the food, drinks and vibe. I highly recommend having two or three of their Blackberry G&T cocktails and the key lime pie was absolutely scrumptious! (Sorry I didn't take any pics.)

M. D.

Beautiful setting. Food also amazing. Would love to have sat outside but only had Benches which i am unable to climb maybe single chair here and there. Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit.

b. c.

Luckily, weather was very nice, and we could sit outside. More umbrellas on the benches please. So, you choose a table number, then you queue, give your order, pay and it's brought to the table, love that. Staff very nice, but one star lost as we had to go looking for one ordered item that was delayed. (soft drink). Coffees were gorgeous and the choc/toffee cake and bakewell cake were delicious. Covid-19 comment: Social distancing is easy at this cafe, staff suitably protected and sanitiser available at the pay counter.

I. O.

Absolutely amazing. Staff, food & ambience second to none. I can highly recommend The Castle Cafe for an evening of fine dining in a very relaxing setting. Had our wedding reception at the Castle forty three years ago and it still doesn't fail to impress.

J. M.

Family group of 7 very well attended and food presentation and surroundings were relaxed, unrushed yet very professional. Great views out onto castle courtyard and ideal for photos and a walk afterwards. Comes recommended for an out of city centre restaurant experience. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal of roast chicken , followed by sticky toffee /brownie and coffees. With one glass of wine, and gratuity, our bill was €67 for 2. Service was unobtrusive and pleasant. Lovely food in a pretty setting with parking nearby.

F. D.

Excellent service, very friendly, great food, superb management. :)

W. M.

Slightly pricey-food ok but we kept getting a waft from the sewers as we were outside

b. c.

Staff are brilliant, some of the best food in cork. Bread and butter pudding😋😋😋

B. H.

Fabulous location and atmosphere. Great selection of locally sourced food.

M. B.

We had a beautiful meal and the service was excellent as usual. The staff actually remember us from our visits which I feel is great as I know how busy they must be.Very nice experience all round.

G. M.

Lovely outside seating area. Clean and great brunch menu. Lovely walks outside after eating. Staff very friendly.

N. D.

Absolutely amazing food, the only time I’ve been let down by the place is when they were out of my favourite dessert. The staff are always super friendly and the atmosphere is always comfortable and welcoming

A. D.

Nice place. Very bright and open (glass walls). Bit on the noisy side though. Kinda hit and miss when it comes to the experience. Breakfast/brunch wise: Food prep quality is not top priority, pushing dishes out fast is. A lot of stuff is cooked in big batches and just re-heated when you order (you can see them doing it early on), and this shows.

L. O. N.

Excellent service, very understanding to us with 3 small children. And accommodating even though we were running late. Food excellent and according to my husband the pints are great.

S. C.

Great to see it open proper again for sit down meals. Excellent food as always and excellent social distancing setup. Well done.

B. D.

What an amazing spot for lunch! Excellent service and a very dynamic menu. I got the brisket and it was beautiful, only let down was the stale bread. I willgive it another shot

I. R.

Wonderful food, delightful staff, stunning setting. Is this the perfect restaurant?

H. W.

I think the service here is excellent they have a great staff. And did a great job of making my friend feel special for her birthday. Beautiful surroundings and decor too as well as food of course!

A. M.

It was a bit challenging to find a breakfast place in Cork on a Sunday. It just so happens that there was also a marathon on that day so loads of roads were closed. We thought we would go outside the city to get breakfast.....little did we know the marathon route went all the way out to Blackrock area too. We abandoned our car and walked ~15mins to the Castle Cafe at the end. This cafe is a very pleasant find I have to say! Staff were friendly. Service was good. We ordered from the brunch menu. I had veggie bean and sweet potato bake, tomatoes, smoked Gubbeen, spiced chickpeas, poached egg and toasted sourdough. I wish there was a bit more sweet potato in my pot and the sourdough was slightly overdone....but it was delicious!!! So good I forgot to snap a picture before I dived in. My husband had the porridge (nice portion, very creamy...yum!) + some bacon/scrambled eggs...he made up his own dish. Their scones and sweets look really inviting as well. Didn’t get a chance to try this time. Maybe when I go back to Cork next time!

T. M.

On a cold rainy day, I along with my wife dropped in for coffee and a dessert. The ambience of the cafe was very nice and the staff was very hospitable. We enjoyed our time there, took some pictures. Cafe has reasonable seating capacity in the observatory which is quite small itself. But located in quite and calm space.

C. T.

Absolutely amazing service during the relaxation of restrictions. Maintaining distancing while providing fast and delicious ice coffee and food. Much needed lunch out! Will be coming back properly in the future

B. O.

An excellent 5 stars Food was excellent, delicous, perfectly cooked and presented beautifully. Premises as always perfect. Staff could not faulted. All extremely friendly, competent, pleasant and helpful.

D. D.

Great food, friendly staff and a beautiful setting.

S. S.

Lovely menu for brunch. A good variety of dishes to suit all diets. Service was prompt and friendly. Reasonable prices and a beautiful location.

S. O.

Lovely food just wish there were more and better options for vegetarians and vegans. The only vegetarian option for main course on the Christmas menu was steamed cauliflower which isn't very appealing.

S. M.

Popped into the Castle Cafe on spec with my daughter for an early lunch, had a super BLT with a non alcohol Paulaner beer and great coffee all in the courtyard surroundings of Blackrock Castle, excellent service

A. C.

Well organised entry and exit , systems in place excellent Great friendly service, hot coffee and fresh delicious food Great under cover seats and tables adhering to social distance.........and a toilet ! Now a Saturday regular

C. C.

I usually walk across from Rochestown along the seafront. its a very popular walk and I enjoy it whatever the season. I love looking at the castle as I walk the 4 k (approx.). When I arrive, if its fine, I sit outside and otherwise I like inside. I enjoy it there for a coffee or lunch and its got that Cork focus on locally produced, quality food. Often the test of the culture of a business is how they deal with anomalies. I had some issues with a credit card transaction that could have been awkward. I found the staff excellent and helpful in assisting me and that is the added value I look for when recommending a place.

M. K.

Reasonably priced restaurant attached to the Blackrock Castle. Some more elaborate dishes available as well as a decent drinks menu. I ordered a Falafel (open) sandwich which did me just fine. Outdoor dining atmospheric with the surrounds of the castle. Most food options attached to historical monuments are a bit lacklustre - but this one is pretty reasonable.

C. R.

Excelente place after a tour at castle. We were in a group of 5, and enjoyed the food and the Portuguese waitress. She is the best. Made our day

A. K. G.

The atmosphere here was great. And the staff quality was very high. Unfortunately, when I reach the Blackrock Castle, the castle was closed and the sky is getting dark. Therefore, the outdoor view was not so nice. Would recommend this place for day activity.

S. I.

Nice place, good food, worth a visit

D. M.

And a Merry Christmas it will be after celebrations at The Castle to start of our Christmas festivities. Not a slice of Turkey and Ham in sight on the Christmas menu, succulent venison, wild boar, pork Wellington in a mushroom crusted pastry, with a smugness of brussel sprouts for good measure.... A roaring fire and twinkling lights with a full bodied Argentine red at hand...culinary delights at their finest...Roll on the festive season 🎄

D. C.

Great food and service. Thanks !

B. O.

So busy place, parking avaible, so delicious food and mega dessert.

G. M.

Good view. Great menu. Perfect for drinks or a meal during a greenway walk/cycle/run.

H. S. C.

Lovely small cafe. Good choices for breakfast. The scone was a bit overdone but nothing too major. Overall, lovely experience.

E. C.

Food is excellent and the staff are always very friendly and engaging. Great value and one of my favourite places to eat!

L. F. R.

j. s.

Lovely café and restaurant. Offered superb ice cream and coffees over the summer. Lovely location.

B. D.

A rare 5 🌟 review for a "restaurant" in Cork! The location is fantastic, and if you are visiting cork, you really should make time to go. The food is very good and- although a bit pricy- a great value considering similar quality options. Service is always great, which really sets it a cut above the vast majority of Cork.

R. L.

Food was lovely and staff were great

K. B.

Another gem from these guys! They know what they’re doing when it comes to restaurants. Beautiful food in a beautiful setting (it’s in a castle, for crying out loud!). Staff always attentive and on the ball and the seasonal menu never disappoints. A must visit!

A. K.

It is one of the best places in cork for dinner and lunch. Very romantic environment and nice place river side. If you come here in summer, you really going to enjoy the place and river side is awesome.

Very good place to get food and relax in the sun when ireland gets the good weather. But this place is very expensive so make sure you bring plenty of money around 150 should be more than enough but depends on the person.
