    Loved this place in Cork! Though this city we were not too impressed with, this restaurant was yummy! Small seating area and definitely a local hotspot, Liberty Grill has a delicious menu. Don't be shocked that you'll have to wait to be seated, but the food is worth it. We ordered the All That Jazz burger served with seasoned fries and the chicken burger. The chicken burger was like tender white meat grilled and seasoned well and served with what looks like thin cut fries resembling McDonald's fries. My boyfriend found it very filling to where he had to just eat the meat only cuz the bun was too filling. I enjoyed my jazz burger with had delicious onions and sauce served on it. Cooked perfectly and served with delicious seasoned fries. Definitely a place you should check out close to the shopping area in Cork.

    Busy Liberty Grill

    Colleague and I choose the falafel burger served on pita bread, and the fish (haddock) and chips with side salad. See pics. Recommended by hotel concierge. And I agree. Small place. If you blink, you might miss it. And popular with local diners. Fresh. Tasty. Would return. Good value at half the price of hotel food. Open for breakfast (all day), lunch and dinner. Small Gripes: - Only bottled beers; no beers on draft - No Wi-Fi

    Crab Burger. The salad was so beautiful and fresh!
    Jennifer P.

    The Liberty Grill was recommended to us by our Air BnB hostess, and it did not disappoint! The space is modern, clean, and minimalist: high ceilings, bright lighting, white/grey color palette, and wood accents. I ordered the Crab Burger (€13.90) and subbed a salad for the chips. The burger was moist, flavorful, and delicious! The salad was nice and fresh with a light vinaigrette. Service was friendly. Our server even chatted with us about where we were from and the current heatwave in Ireland. The price was reasonable, too. The restrooms were clean but tiny (typical, though), with the sink inside of the stall. We enjoyed our meal at Liberty Grill; our hostess certainly didn't steer us wrong!

    San Fran salad with sweet chili tempeh

    Came her on the recommendation of a friend and it didn't disapoint. Firstly the menu here is great,there's something for everyone. I had the mushroom bruchetta to start,boyfriend had the crab and potatoes cakes. We were both very pleased wirh our choices as we were with our mains, the San Fran salad for me and the classic burger for him! For dessert we shared some soy ice creams. The restaurant was very busy but the staff were excellent,very friendly and attentive. Well worth making a reservation and having dinner here if you find yourself in Cork.

    Quinoa and Chickpea Salad
    Ann F.

    Simply delicious. Wanted to go here while visiting, but hard to get a table. Small restaurant, but so well done. The hostess worked it out so we could stay for dinner. The food is so fresh and wonderful. We had the fish and chips (the best I have ever had), falafel burger, and quinoa and chickpea salad. It was well worth the work to get a table. Great service, great atmosphere, great food.

    Très bon cheesecake avec sablé maison
    Çetin A.

    Try crab cake as starter, nicely spiced, worth it. I tested the fish of the day as main, was average (a bit overcooked) , I should had stick with the fiah&chips. Desserts seems good, my cheesecake was awesome. Nice staff, ~35€ for a 3 courses and drink.

    Such healthy and delicious breakfast
    Clèm B.

    Amazing brunch menu! I ate the Mediterranean breakfast with a latte ! With my friends we really appreciated the plus side options which can allow us to taste more things and to personalize our breakfast. It was really good, nice atmosphere and nice waiters! I will go again for sure and I recommended it!

    I'm always fooled by the "crab sandwich" on Irish menus. In the states that implies a hot sandwich almost exclusively containing a crab cake. Here, on the other hand, it basically means "crab salad" with rocket on toast. Still tasty, but it doesn't stop the initial "WTF!?" each time my plate arrives. Oh, and Liberty Grill... it rocks. Love the atmosphere, and the food is fresh and tasty without being too pricey.

    Pancakes - small
    Nnenna I.

    So we wanted a good breakfast in Cork and one of the lads from a coffee shop recommended Liberty. It was busy for a Thursday morning, we got seats after 5ish minutes of waiting. I ordered pancakes with syrup (very small portion - see picture). I ended up ordering poached eggs as i was still hungry. The service was slow, staff were not friendly/chatty. 1 eggs Benedict, Shirley temple mocktail, pancakes, poached eggs and extra toast = €20.30 which is pretty cheap.

    Vegan tempeh burger, sweet potato fries and vegan mayo
    Eileen L.

    Best vegan burgers in town! So many different options and they even offer vegan mayonnaise with your chips. No awkward asking for a vegan option and great effort to promote environmentally friendly dishes. The staff is lovely and professional without coming across force. Wonderful!

    Tempeh burger with the Rustic Potatoes and a side of Avocado !
    Meg K.

    Fantastic meal! And felt totally comfortable to eat it alone. Have been to Cork before but never get the chance to stop in. Being back on business I had to stop by- which was, of course, the right decision. Fantastic staff, delicious meal, and an atmosphere that was just what the doctor ordered. Ordered the Tempeh Burger with avocado on the side and it was delish! Washed down the meal with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and even treated myself to a piece of New York Cheesecake topped with mixed berry compote and a cup of tea. All items to die for. Can't wait to come back!

This meant loosened belts and full bellies most of our time in the city and we couldn't have been happier! On our second night in town, we were after an early dinner as we had plans at another local pub later in the evening. After a stroll around town, Mad Monk was the spot! Apparently Quinlan's is a small chain with several spots around Ireland, and after popping in, we can tell why. The thing that stood out the most for us at Mad Monk was the freshness of all the goods, specifically the seafood. I enjoy a good grilled or pan seared fish filet, but being in Ireland, it was my mission to try as many fish and chips as I could, and Mad Monk was next on the list! Before we dove into our mains, we did order one of the only non-seafood dishes on the menu, the braised beef croquettes. They were absolutely tasty, and set up our mains very well! We both went with the traditional fish and chips. The fish was perfectly fried and flaky and the tartar sauce was *chefs kiss*! I will say, as with most chips around the island, the chips were a bit underwhelming. They were slightly crispy and fluffy inside, but I am not a huge fan of steak fries and they definitely could have used a bit more seasoning. Service was solid, efficient and friendly. The space is quaint, bright and sleek. Lots of woods and blues, which definitely give the vibes of seafood. Overall, Mad Monk was a solid spot and one we glad we visited during our short stay in Killarney!

    Wondering through town looking for a very late lunch. The menu outside looked great but the time…read moresaid 1700. It was 1500 and told us to come in. Seated at a six top in the front window vestibule (great view). Offered water and coctails immediately. We all started with a white seafood chowder filled with seafood, mussels,shrimp, and white fish. It was the best chowder we had in Ireland and rivaled Bostons best. All of our entrees were exceptional Great cheerful service. Very highly recommended Slainte

Fishfingers for children were not something I'd buy from a grocery. Fish cakes were mostly (90%+) potato. Salmon dinner was served with potatoes and was bland. If you want quick microwaved food go here. I would recommend saving your money and going to a restaurant that preps fresh food and cooks it to order. For quality of food I'd expect prices to be half of what they are.

I've also had the burger, which was pretty good. The main reason for me giving only 3 stars is that I went for breakfast two days ago, and it wasn't what it used to be. I ordered the New York pancakes. I've had these before and they were American type pancakes. Being American, having had them before, and the fact that the dish is called "The New Yorker", I expected the same pancakes. I didn't get them. What came out was crepes. I was fine with crepes, even though that's not what I expected. The real problem was that the eggs served with the dish were hidden between the pancakes and were terribly overcooked. To top it off, everything was covered in syrup. Maybe eggs in maple syrup is good for some people, but not me. I couldn't eat syrupy, overcooked eggs. My suggestion to the restaurant is to specify what kind of pancakes they are in the menu, cook the eggs as requested, and put them on the side, OR if you insist on hiding them in the crepes, serve the dish with the syrup on the side!
