You walk in and you feel right at home. You can tell that everything is made from scratch and most likely DOES come from a farm nearby. Hubs and I started with an incredibly creamy and delicious seafood chowder- studded with oodles of fresh fish, and then moved onto a Scallop Salad with bacon and other tasty morsels. So divine. Though we're not big dessert people, the Irish seem to love it and there is a huge table of desserts right in the front of the restaurant that beckons you. We caved and ordered the creamiest, most decadent and lovely lemon pie tart that I have ever had. I am pretty sure they must add cream to the filling just for fun. I mean, it's Ireland and they add cream to everything. So. good. Go here. Eat and be happy. Have dessert. You won't be sorry.

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!

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 service is johnny on the spot and the bartenders are welcoming with humorous slogans and stories. There's plenty of room inside the front of the restaurant as well as all along the sides and the back. The further back you go the less you want to know of the front. It's kind of cozy and sweet. So, come on out the next time you're in Blarney, County Cork. It's a lovely town, and inside is so colorful with songs, stories, decor and all sorts of delicious foods and libations. It couldn't be any more friendly here. So, come over and enjoy yourself but don't mind yourself...not here. Chris McGrath was the entertainment and with a lovely voice and an inviting soul. Mel

The pizza and fries were good. Fries were not seasoned at all which was a bit weird - don't know if it's common in Ireland. The service was a bit slower but it was okay since we were not in any hurry. The staff was good - won't say friendly though. Not if the person attending us was just having a bad day. Nice place overall.
