Definitely consider making reservations because the restaurant gets quite busy during peak times. I chose to go with the fish pie and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly.

Visited for two consecutive nights 18/02 and 19/02 2026. The first night I had two appetizers,…read moreAtlantic prawn and crab sandwich, and a dessert of Ferrero Roche cheese cake. The second night I had an appetizer of seafood chowder and the John Dory fish. The cheese cake was unique, , very satisfying taste of cocoa, and the crunchy and gritty texture really felt like Ferrero Roche. For the other dishes I found something interesting. The prawns and crab sandwiches tasted standard, but the oily sauce (prawns) and the sweet and sour puree (crab sandwiches) had exquisite flavor that made one want to finish them all with a piece of bread (which I did). On the other hand, the John Dory was nicely done, texture spot-on, juicy and savoy flavor, but the white sauce looked broken and watery, and the taste was a bit on the bland side. In general I enjoyed my experience, but I wonder if they could match the quality of the sauce and the main ingredients better :)

Great experiences from Kiely's in Cork always. I will recommend them forever.

The rumors are true! Kiely's fish & chips are gluten-free! & very tasty…read more We specifically stopped in Cork just to go to Kiely's. Although it was inconvenient, it was worth it. It's a cute, casual little spot with nice staff & a variety of menu items - Not just fish & chips. But that's what we came for so that's what we got. The fish was delicious, the fries were good, & the mushy peas were ... Not my thing. But I think some people like the mush. So I won't yuck someone else's yum. They do not serve alcohol, so we just paired our meals with a Coke. I wish there was a bit more seating. There was really only enough space for one or two parties squished inside & two parties of two outside. There was also NO public restroom. We were in the middle of a road trip, so this was particularly devastating. I wish Kiely's the best! I hope they'll be successful enough to move into a larger space someday.

Small pork pie's pastry had some slightly overburnt and had spots, but it was crispy overall. The filling was seasoned nicely, but could use a bit more gravy or juice. The blackberry sundae with ice cream was nicely done, silky texture ice cream, sundae was rich in blackberry flavor. Other elements provide a diversity of mouthfeel, but I felt some of them were a bit of nuisance as their textures sometimes did not feel harmonized together.

The mushy peas we're good just needed a little salt. The fries were thick crispy on the outside soft potato on the inside and plentiful. The cod was nice and thick and batter was thin. I through enjoyed my meal came out hot and tasty with a squeeze of lemon juice and malt vinegar. The tartar sauce tasted really fresh and delicious as my friend normally hates tartar sauce back in Toronto but loved it here in Cork. The only thing I would say is get salt, pepper, malt vinegar and ketchup for each table or at least 3 sets, everyone had to share.... Otherwise I really enjoyed it.

Mother of God. So,…read moregrowing up in Knocknaheeny, the "Churchfield Chipper" as it's locally known, was a childhood institution. We'd look forward to the days mum or dad would announce they were in the mood for a fish supper, the pots and pans stayed quiet, and I was sent forth to bring home the grub. 20 years since moving to America, I brought my heavily pregnant Californian wife to my home patch. She asked what I wanted to do, and a visit to the chipper was top of the list, and there was only one place I wanted to go. Quality? The word doesn't come close. I hear people wax poetic about Lennox's. Or Dino's. Golden Fry. Or this Douglas-ified KCs with their gourmet nonsense. Eejits, the lot of them. Gobshites and langers who don't know what they speak of, I say. These are quite possibly the best chips in Cork. Therefore the best in Ireland, and by extension, the best on earth. Yep. In centuries to come, when aliens visit the planet, those in the know will get their fix from here. And it's quantity. Such quantity. Order a pie, you get two. Order a sausage, you get two. Order the fish, I dare you. I double dare you. 'cause yeah, you're getting two. Two pieces of fish big enough to go surfing on. My wife bit into it, moaned slightly, and proclaimed it the best fish and chips she ever had. "Waaah, but it's in the northside! I don't wanna go up there!" Ah, stop now and come off de stage. The soundest people, and this place has some of the best service. My wife ended up inviting our cab driver to stay with us in California, for god's sake. So stop reading this, grab the wife, throw the kids in the Focus, and head over for a feast.
