Good food, cheerful and efficient waitstaff, fair prices...a new favourite spot in Cork City.

Enjoyed a lunch on a Sunday afternoon at 14A. I tried the Haddock and chips. Service was pleasant and modern / clean interior. read more

Ordered the fish and chips and instead of getting a thin piece of battered fish, I received nice, hit, thick, fish with an excellent batter cooked to perfection and was brought out so hot (that's a 5 star plus!) Along with thick, hot, cuts of potato! Not familiar with mushy peas as I'm from other side of the pond, but could have used a dash of salt IMHO, but as this was my first time eating mushy peas, I can say it tasted like peas that were mushed. One of the best fish and chips you can get! read more

Having never really treated myself to a "fancy" dinner in Cork, I was a bit stumped when it came to naming a place for dinner out with my visiting mother (embarrassingly enough!). Two friends had recommended 14A, but I had no idea where to find it - but hey, Cork isn't that big, right? Wrong. After about 20 minutes of searching, we were almost ready to give up.. until we finally stumbled upon it, buried in one of those tricky alleyways by Tesco! It was relatively quiet when we walked in, save the very obnoxious utensil-separating that was going on behind the close-by counter for about fifteen minutes. But, the calming, simple interior and mouth-watering menu made up for it, and my mind was soon clouded by thoughts of the savignon blanc, vegetable puree, and grilled seabass that were coming my way! The food was amazing. A-mazing. The seabass was the special of the night, and it was served with mashed potatoes and snap peas - a combination I wouldn't have expected. The savignon blanc was also a feature on the charming chalkboard of specials, and it was even described to match certain meals on the menu. The soup was great as well, but what practically overshadowed it was the bread slices that came alongside; it turns out that 14A bakes their own bread, and it is, by far, the best I have had in Cork. We even bought a loaf when we were done with our meal; however, pricing was a bit weird: an extra side of bread with our meal was about €3.50, and the loaf was only €1.50..? We were so contented with 14A, we went two nights out of the five my mom was in Cork. The second time we visited, I ordered the merlot, puree of the night, and 8 oz. ribeye steak.. again, so delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly, and I could not get enough of the sauteed onions and mushrooms and mashed potatoes that came with. We indulged a bit more and split a piece of warm apple pie, which was topped with some Corkonian fresh cream. Deee-lightful! The "3 Courses for €20" was an awesome deal, and you were even allowed to switch out a starter or desert for a glass of wine, if you preferred. The only complaint I would have was that the place is a bit echo-y; the first incident with the loud silverware-separating hardly compared to the large group that had a reservation on our second night in. Nonetheless, I think that I could have just been a little hangry - all was made better upon arrival of soup and wine! 14A, you get my A+. read more

Lovely and simple venue! Great 3 course deal for €20. You can substitute your entre or dessert for a glass of wine instead. They have a nice patio that you can eat and smoke on and a great space inside for indoor eating as well. read more

Getting breakfast here a lot, at the beginning they had awesome fresh bread, then for a while they served ordinary toast, but they returned to quite good bread. That was a good choice. The staff is always friendly, but not always attentive, sometimes slow. Overall a good experience. read more

So I will first lead off with: this probably wasn't the right place to get fish and chips... Cause they were terrible. TERRIBLE. Soggy batter. Tough fish. Terrible tartar sauce. We asked the waiter to make a vegan veg and rice. It came out completely unseasoned. Like completely unseasoned. Even for specifically asking for them to just season it. But it was off menu so I guess I can't really blame them. However the pesto sole was really good. The grilled fillet of John Dory special was dry. The mushroom soup was described as a 7/10. For a 5 star place I was very disappointed. read more

I've visited Restaurant 14A on two separate visits to Cork and really enjoyed both occasions. The most recent visit was at the weekend for a quick early evening dinner. I went for the seafood penne with cherry tomato and spring onion sauce which was delicious. All the ingredients were tasty, fresh and cooked perfectly and the fish was simply gorgeous including fresh prawns, scallops and mussels. Some crusty garlic bread was served on the side and was perfect for dipping! The house red was a lovely 'middle-of-the-road' wine that sat perfectly with the main course. My first experience there was for brunch where I had eggs florentine and toast which was simply delicious. The place serves a decent coffee too! The service on both occasions was fast, friendly and professional and the value for money was excellent for either dinner or a snack. I'll definitely be back. read more

Went here for lunch one day and I was pleasantly surprised. I think I just had a chicken caesar salad and some pavlova for desert. The salad was lovely and not over the top and the pavlova had loads of yummy fruit. The waiter seemed very nice and attentive but if you are looking for an outside seat at lunch make sure you come early or you might be disapointed. read more

The food was excellent. Five stars. My brother had streak with mash and a lovely gravy over everything. Us two ladies ordered the lemon sole, which came over seasonal vegetables and mash. The veg were perfectly cooked, not mushy, the sauce was savoury and creamy, and the fish itself was beautifully tender and moist. The only drawback to the place itself was the music: top 40, in a classy restaurant with a two-page wine menu? Ah well. That being said, the service was shoddy. I'm not sure whether it was due to our youth or the fact that we weren't drinking, but we were given hardly any attention, though the place wasn't nearly full. While I don't normally complain about service, because I know what it's like to work in hospitality, this seemed unreasonable. So, three stars. read more

The 14A, my favourite restaurant for having breakfast, the Full Irish Breakfast of course. It comes along with a big mug of good coffee or tea. The bread is very good, as well as the sausages and the bacon. The pudding is tasty as well. The staff is very fast, friendly and pays attention. read more

Excellent spot in Cork, and another example of the rapidly evolving culinary scene in my home town. Visited for breakfast, and was very happy with the grub - needed a pick-me-up after a night out, and their full Irish sorted me out nicely. Bonus points for the toast. Yes, I know, it's toast - but lovely thick slabs of crusty bread, toasted to perfection... they just hit the spot nicely. My cappuccino was absolutely nailed on as well. Service was great, super friendly and attentive, with the food brought out quickly despite it being busy. Am sorry we didn't get the chance to stop by for dinner, but it's definitely on the list for our next visit back. read more

STAY AWAY- STAY AWAY-STAY AWAY On Saturday the 29th of August 2015 I went for a meal with two of my friends to 14A restaurant French Church St Cork. On arrival a member of 14A staff told us that we could take a table but they would need the table back at 6pm, since it was 5pm we decided to take the table. Our order was taking at 5:05pm and on checking the bill afterwards I found the order did not go through the till until 5:17pm, the food did not arrive at our table until 5:45pm. At 5:55 a member of 14A staff proceeded to take our plates from under our faces as we were trying eat; we were left there with a fork in one hand and a knife in the other in shock off what just happened. As we were too embarrassed to say anything we got up paid the bill and just left. A couple of days later my boyfriend contacted the manager and explained the situation but he denied it ever happened. I will never go back to 14A again and I would advise the public to STAY AWAY. read more

Vegetable soup was unappetising, had the spinach and mushroom pancakes which were bland and tasteless, someone else I was dining with had pasta drowned in oil, overall not a good experience and I haven't gone back since. read more
