I then had Roasted Chicken breast, Roasted Root veg (cooked al dente) and Mashed potato (13euro). I asked for a little garlic butter for the mash - this was with me within seconds and was gorgeous. My Partner ordered a Steak Sandwich with Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce (15euro). This came with a lovely lightly dressed salad and your choice of shoestring, chunky or Sweet potato fries. Jack Daniels BBQ sauce is now his favourite thing ever! We finished off with an order of Apple pie (5euro) and a Chocolate brownie Sundae(5euro) served in a half pint glass. The dessert portions are huge - defo big enough to share one between 2 people! We had the following drinks: Carlsberg = 5euro Vodka = 5euro Cranberry juice = 2.70 euro Espresso Martini = 10euro Jameson Whiskey = 5euro Our bill finished up at just under 100 euro. Our server was named Ferga - a student in CIT. She was a pleasure to be served by and was able to rattle off the specials for the evening like nothing I've ever seen. I highly recommend this place to anyone who's planning a night out in Cork. We will certainly be returning!

I didn't enjoy the ratatouille that accompanies the dish, but the fish was well worth it. The filet was also cooked perfectly and had great flavor! The chips were also yummy. Great texture outside and soft interior. Their own soup was also delicious. Great flavor and had a great onion to broth ratio. If in the area I recommend getting a reservation or arriving earlier to snag a table. Great overall

Market Lane is an absolute must when visiting Cork! I had the steak sandwich, and it was…read moreoutstanding, served on incredible homemade bread that was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the tender steak. I paired it with one of their locally brewed lagers, which was crisp, refreshing, and a great match for the meal. The biggest surprise was the mushroom soup. It was rich, velvety, and absolutely exquisite, served with warm house made bread that was impossible to stop eating. What truly made the experience exceptional was the hospitality. Every member of the staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel at home. Fresh local ingredients, fantastic beer, unforgettable food, and wonderful service. Market Lane deserves every bit of its five stars. Highly recommended!

Honestly, my most favorite place we tried during our stay in Cork. This place has amazing food,…read moregood cocktails, an intimate speakeasy kind of feel, and super friendly staff! For food, we got their beef dip (apparently the most popular dish- with food reason) and the chicken katsu sandwich with tonkatsu sauce! The meat in the beef dip sandwich was super tender and was extra yummy when dipped in their gravy. The katsu burger was such an innovative way to transform a favorite dish, the tonkatsu sauce was to die for. We got several rounds of drinks as pictured, all were good and the staff made sure we enjoyed them the entire time we were there. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would definitely come back if I'm ever back in the area!

What a cool place! First of all, it's absolutely huge. There's multiple rooms and bars all with…read moreslightly different vibes. There's a front bar where you can grab food, there's a back bar with a smoking area that sometimes has a DJ, and an upstairs that feels more like a proper cocktail bar - and probably more areas I've yet to explore. The food smelled delicious and I would've totally tried it had I not eaten before. I explored around a bit and ultimately hung out upstairs at the bar. The bartender that night was so friendly! We talked about everything from art to travel to politics. She was the best and made a mean cocktail. Not to mention, the entire place is decorated fantastically. It used to be an old pharmacy and ties in a lot of that history into the decor, including a bar made of old pharmacy ledgers. You could spend so much time just looking around at all the details and exploring each room. I hear it gets pretty lively here on weekends, especially with the college kids, but this particular Monday night was fairly quiet. I would definitely return if I'm ever in Cork again!

The broth was a tad salty but I love salt so I was fine with it - Fish and Chips - just wow! The fish was cooked perfectly, nice and light. Piping hot when it was brought out to me. The breading was delicious, not over powering, and perfectly crispy. I tried so hard to finish it all but unfortunately was super full. Maybe I should've skipped the mussels and just gone all in on the fish and chips. The sauce with the fish was tangy and yummy. I think it was tarter sauce but I don't remember. The pea puree needed a little bit of salt. - Creme Brûlée - I was full but I can't turn down dessert. Luckily it was small and I was able to eat it all. It was tasty and the perfect ending to my meal.

This review is for the restaurant not the pub. We came for lunch and found all the usual Irish pub…read moreofferings. The pie of the day, not on the menu, was steak and kidney, which I had to try "for research purposes". The pastry crust extended to the sides and bottom so it fully enclosed the filling and was served "freestanding". Crust and gravy were excellent. In the filling, both the steak and the kidneys were plentiful. My research completed, I probably wouldn't order it again; just give me the steak - no more kidneys please! Nevertheless I did enjoy and finished it. This was served with decent fries and a truly excellent green salad: a variety of leafy greens, radishes, cucumbers, pickled onions, and pre-dressed with a vinaigrette. The wife had the Beef & Guinness Casserole, served with brown bread. Along with steak there were also plentiful veggies (root vegetables and celery) and mashed potatoes in the center. She liked it. I tried it and agreed. I would get that next time. I had a Jameson Old Fashioned to drink and it was the best Old Fashioned I've had in some time. The unusually large twisted orange peel probably contributed and it may have had more than the customary amount of bitters. The wife's tea was amusingly served with a knitted "cozy" keeping the teapot hot. For dessert we shared a Sticky Toffee Pudding, served with vanilla ice cream, attractively presented with a dusting of sugar, whipped cream, and a ground cherry complete with its leaves. I'd rate it second among the three I've tried so far. Would certainly order it again. As for the pub I can't say. It has a reputation for good traditional Irish music every night but unfortunately not until 9:30, way too late for us. Sadly we're just not pub people.
