Had another visit today 23/02/2026 for dinner, ordered two appetizers and one dessert. The chicken liver pate was nice, rich and creamy liver flavor went well with the crispy fry bread and sour pickles. 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. read more

We stopped in here for lunch on a bit of a whim and I were still talking about it five days later. The restaurant is super cute and I loved the decor. It got very busy after 1pm but the service didn't suffer. The mussels were to die for and my husband won't stop talking about the steak sandwich. Will be recommending this place to e read more

Market Lane was by our hotel and the menu looked good, so we decided to check it out one night for dinner. It was a Tuesday, just after 7 and it was packed inside. Luckily, there was an outside table for the three of us, and they were able to accommodate a stroller. For drinks, I was looking forward to a Guinness, but they didn't have. So instead, I had the Angel stout, which was very smooth. It was a bit darker and a little more bitter than Guinness, but still good. For food, we had: -Chicken liver pâté, spiced plum chutney with sourdough toast - not sure if I really loved this one but the sourdough toast was good Glenbeigh mussels steamed in white wine, cream, celery and herbs with crusty baguette - I don't normally like anything with celery but I didn't taste it here, so it was fine. I liked the mussels. This kind was small, which I prefer to the giant ones found in the U.S. -Pan roast Ballycotton monkfish, garlic ratte potatoes, roast pepper purée, lemon salted green beans, smoked pancetta and almond crumb - the fish was cooked perfectly and tasted fresh, but the green beans could have used a bit more cooking time -Sirloin Steak (10oz) - my husband got this one since he wanted to try the beef in Ireland, and it didn't disappoint. Their steaks are served with mushrooms, house chips, shallots and choice of: peppercorn and brandy cream, whipped garlic butter or roasted pepper chimichurri. He picked the peppercorn and brandy, which was nice I really liked that they had a kids' menu and that there were no chicken tenders or pizza to be found on there. Instead, there were dishes like shepherd's pie, pasta Bolognese, and roasted chicken breast. They even had a baby bowl, which we ended up ordering for my 8-month old. It was a huge bowl of mashed potatoes, finely shredded chicken, with tiny bits of soft carrots. She loved it! It also came with a side of gravy, but we used that for ourselves. It tasted similar to the peppercorn and brandy cream that came with the steak. I really appreciated this menu item because I never really see baby food on restaurant menus, and this allowed her to be a part of our dining experience. read more

Eh, it was okay. I learned about Market Lane from TikTok which should've been my first clue to find somewhere else to dine, but it was a Monday night and so many of the other spots on my list were closed. I ordered the french onion soup and the steak frites with herbed butter. The french onion soup came out piping hot, too hot to eat. I immediately knew by looking at it that this wasn't going to be the best french onion soup. It looked like someone sprinkled Kraft shredded cheese on top and microwaved it. The flavor was lacking and it needed salt, pepper, and more onion. The steak came with the herbed butter on the side. It was OK but nothing to write home about. I was surprised by this since I know Ireland is supposedly known for their beef and their butter but I felt like I've had better steaks back in the states. The service was friendly and attentive and the ambiance was upscale but homey. I wouldn't rush back to this spot if I find myself in Cork again but it's an OK option for its central location and Monday night hours. read more

Very busy place serving upscale Irish fare I think best describes the joint? Although they take walk-ins.. I would make a reservation as they tend to be very busy! Huge menu serving fish, salads, game, meat and sandwiches.. everything is of high quality. Started with French Onion Soup topped with Coolea Cheese and it was perfect! Ordered the famed Pork Belly sandwich roasted in a soy & ginger glaze on a brioche with spiced lemon & ginger aioli?? Come on, this was amazing! The inside is not much to speak of really just a standard resto format and service was great. Finish it off with some chocolate from Tory Top! Talk Later read more

This was hands down the best food I had on my trip across the UK. The restaurant even though it was a little packed still felt pretty intimate and is great for larger groups or a couple. The servers were kind and extremely attentive throughout the evening. The food was out of this world. We got calamari on the trip and this was the most delicious by far it had an amazing sauce with nuts and was so tender. The cocktails were strong and just absolutely stunning. The chicken was amazing it was so tender and I would highly recommend it. The fries were not that good and you could probably skip them. read more

Everything here was delicious! Highly recommend if you're in Cork. I had the filet with the whipped garlic butter which was cooked with perfectly. I also tried the bohemian raspberry which was one of the best cocktails I've had. I love raspberry and loved that the flavor was super authentic and not overly sweet. I also tried the plum sour which was great as well and super pretty: Service was great and restaurant itself is cozy. read more

Faboo food and people! The atmosphere is the perfect mix of pub and restaurant; emphasis being on the restaurant. I had the chicken liver pate to start. The pate portion was so generous I had no hope of finishing it. The spiced plum chutney that came with it was different, but in a good way. Also seemed like there was some fennel hiding in the chutney, but don't quote me on that. Nice grilled bread with it. I went simple for my meal. Roasted chicken with root veg, cabbage and mashers. Served with a little pitcher of gravy. All of the food was excellent -- and the staff were phenomenal. They were very busy but always kept up with my meal without losing any kindness. Bravo to them. :-) read more

I really went in with Hugh hopes for this spot. I've been traveling Ireland now for days and all over I see some of the largest cows on the hillsides and countryside. I was craving meat and ordered the sirloin. What a major disappointment. Visually it looked perfect. But it was bad. The cook did not know how to cook the meat at all. I can't say Chef because no self respecting chef would give you meat with so little rest time and poorly prepared. It was good gamey. Chewed for ever and the fingers wouldn't pull apart easily. I usually velvet my meat and it makes a huge difference. This place did nothing close and the meat was horribly prepared. Once I cut it, all the juice came out and the meat was tough to chew. The compound butter was decent. The steak needed salt. That's never good. But the worst part was the red peppers. Omg. They were gross. They tasted like what bad body odors from 7/11 smell like. The service was good. I had a sweet young waitress. But the heater kept turning off and it was cold outside today June 8 2025. I don't think I would ever get steak from here. We tried their brownie dessert. Super gooey and well done. My hot lemon ginger tea was great that's why I gave it a 2 versus a 1. Their pork dish (neck). Was the best option. Wife loved it. Her cocktail was also great. Passion fruit drink. Yummy. read more

Quite a disappointment. Nothing was terrible, everything was ok. Lovely restaurant and staff were friendly and helpful but food was average at best and at odds with the great reviews on both yelp and other review sites. Our 2 teenage boys were with us. We ordered fish pie, roast chicken, egg plant parmigiana and chicken coupons from the kids menu. We had the calamari for starters. I had a beer flight with olives. Nothing and I mean nothing was anything more than average. read more

We ended up at Market Lane purely by accident. We were looking for a sticky toffee pudding and after checking many places nearby saw that Market Lane had a bread and butter pudding so we thought we would try that. We were so glad we did! Market Lane was a true delight. We sat at the bar and the (I think) head bartender was super friendly and willing to entertain all of our questions. He suggested we pair our dessert with whiskey drinks. I got an old fashioned (maybe the best one I've ever had) and he made a special one of a kind whiskey drink on the spot for my friend who is a little hesitant about whiskey... and she loved it! The service was simply impeccable and we had such an unexpectedly lovely evening. I would recommend Market Lane to anyone visiting Cork! P.s. They also have beer next door from the smallest microbrewery in Ireland. Super cool! read more

Centrally located in Cork. We saw "Walk in Welcome" sign in front and went in. It seemed to be a popular and busy venue. The prices were okay for a downtown restaurant. The food was finely prepared and quite flavorful. We ordered: 4* Confit Lamb croquettes included cucumber and scattion salad, coriander, toasted sesame, soy and lime dressing. Crispy and delicious, salad was tasty. 4*Pan roast monkfish-golden beets in bernaise sauce, fondant potatoes and green beans: fish was tender, potatoes were great, the best I've had in Ireland. Green beans were Al dents, just right. 4.5*Seafood pasta, mussels, squid, haddock, tomatoes, garlic, orzo pasta, crunchy samphire: a great dish to order, fresh and delicious. read more

The place was packed! Always a good sign. We sat at a nice table upstairs and had very good service. One meal, the roast chicken, received high marks. The two others, filet mignon, we rated a 5/10. Beef is just too tough for our American taste (not to be snotty; it's just that we are used to more marbled beef). read more

Had a great time at Market Lane and definitely recommend if you are in Cork. We came here on a Saturday evening with no reservation and was seated quickly. The staff were very friendly. The restaurant looks very modern and is a good size. We were seated on the second floor. We started with the Smoked haddock croquettes with house pickles and lime & dill aioli. For entrees, I had the Pan roast monkfish, creamy curried velouté, fragrant pilaf rice with saffron, cardamom, peas, carrot and toasted almonds and my husband had the Marinated Lamb rump, potato and smoked garlic gratin, honey roast parsnips, pea & mint pistou. All the food was so delicious and flavorful. The portions were also a good size. Unfortunately, we did not have room for dessert but looked great as well. read more

Asked for drinks that we never got and meal was constantly interrupted by flies/bugs. Food wasn't bad I guess but couldn't be enjoyed.

Fabulous meal. Loved the appetizer, main entree and dessert was absolutely great. I give it a 5 star rating.

We had a wonderful evening at Market Lane. Our server was quite new but happily gave us as much info as possible about dishes. I started with the mussels. Large portion and delicious. The broth and accompanying bread are a meal by themselves. I had the baked hake. Served with a beet and potato gratin, the fish was prepared perfectly and the side hot and delicious. Fantastic ambiance and meal! read more

Everything about this place was top-tier. We had to make a reservation to get in as this is one of the most popular spots in the city. I would definitely recommend visiting this location while in the city as you won't be disappointed with the quality of the food. I went with the lamb which was amazing. My other friend went with the fillet which he also said was very delicious. And my third friend chose the chicken Salad which looked delicious and filling. All of the ingredients were fresh. The staff made us feel welcomed and the environment had great energy. Would definitely retire as the location is in the middle of the bustling city center and features numerous restaurants and shops. Great job market Lane. read more

Wow! Just...wow. The best meal I've had in a long while. The place is very nice and honestly I thought it was going to be very expensive, but the prices were very reasonable. The food: ridiculously good and lots of local products. I had the house smoked haddock arancini (very good!) and the slow cooked Crowe's bacon collar with mustard glaze, parsnip and scallion mash, carrot purée, and creamy leek sauce with glazed hispi cabbage. OMG best meal all year!!!!! My sister had the French onion soup, which was hearty and delicious. For dessert I had the pot de chocolat (very rich) and she had the brownie, which she said was the best brownie she's ever had...and that's what she always gets. The salted caramel was excellent. Our waitress, Abigail, was super nice and very attentive. She knew the menu and helped steer us in the right direction. Thanks Abbie!!!!! I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back when I return to Cork. read more

Fabulous food, eat here! The seared mackerel was divine. Fish curry was great. Marinated chicken was tender. The lemon tart was slightly disappointing (good lemon flavor & the blackberry compote was nice) but the tart crust was too thick and not worth the calories.

We were more then happy to grab 3 bar seats and get to know their more then helpful bartender Evan who even gave us a list of places to check out in other towns. Drinks were great and food was amazing. Would definitely go back. I suggest a reservation as they are popular, and totally worth it. I had the curry soup special which was so good everyone was dipping their bread in it. Hubs had the monkfish which was cooked perfectly and my son had the chicken which was delicious. read more

Sat at the bar. Had a Guinness. Ordered the chowder stew -creamy, chunks of salmon, fish and other seafood I couldn't really tell but it was quite delicious. But then my bad I orders a Cesar salad. Ugh, weird. With Lardon- my favorite. The dressing was very mayo tasting no garlic or anchovy flavor. But that's my Italian American foodie opinion. Taste it yourself and then tell me.

Carefully curated food and fun people watching. Our starter was pork belly, a tasty treat, but that was just the beginning. I went with a seafood cioppino with large pieces of fish, clams and calamari. My husband had the lamb rump...so succulent he would only give me a small bite! We were too full for dessert. I forgot to say, we started off in the bar with a local gin, Bertha's Revenge, which is now our favorite Irish gin!
