Courteous, efficient, good WiFi, slightly high prices for an Irish stew. The male waiter with the apron had great customer service/craic with customers. Good place to come sit before/after shopping around the English market.

Great place to enjoy nice breakfast or brunch and then go see the market below.

Must try if you are in cork.. it's within the English market

I would not go here again. I had the Irish stew. It was boiled meat. No flavour. My order of beer was wrong. Staff tried to get you in and out as quickly as possible. Not friendly at all. There is zero attraction here, Cork must have multiple places was better than this.

Absolutely love this place. Hot food is yum and desserts delicious. Everything they do they do it well. Set in awesome surroundings, highly recommended.

It was a busy Saturday lunchtime so everything a little hectic nevertheless a great spot and lovely staff. Good food served with a big smile.

Absolutely divine place to enjoy lunch when you're exploring the city and enjoying the market. Tucked above the market you get the nice open-ness of the skylights but still can hear the hustle and bustle of the market below. The food was wonderful - the lamb stew was cooked long and slow, you can just tell with the way the flavors come together and the tenderness of the lamb. The daily special was a chicken and mushroom pie which was creamy and tender with wonderful flavors. The keeved cider was also lovely! Highly recommend a visit here!

I had the full breakfast and it was delicious. Much better than your average full breakfast. I also had a mimosa and it was top notch. Highly recommend. Staff were lovely but the space was a bit tight.

Went here for lunch recently and I have to say it is sublime. The food was simply delicious and the staff were just so friendly. The setting is truly beautiful with a real rustic feel in the air. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and were extremely welcoming. Overall a wonderful lunch.

Farmgate Cafe has a really good atmosphere for lunch! I recommend coming here as you're goimg through the English Market!

This is a must experience when you visit the English market in Cork. You can sit upstairs watch the action occurring down below and enjoy local favorites definitely try the seafood chowder

Arrived on a Friday for brunch. Very clean, staff attentive and the setting is just wonderful. We had both ordered the smoked eggs on sourdough with pepperonata and it was delicious. Would have again. Didn't really get any smokiness from the eggs but maybe I was eating too fast. The place was busy so worth going early.

The food was amazing. We came here for breakfast. Got the Market English Breakfast and Field Mushrooms & Roast Tomatoes | Parmesan | Sourdough Toast, orange juice and ice latte with oat milk. The Market English was really good. Scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked and the Coughlan's Sausages were really tasty. Would be really nice if there were beans in there too (maybe instead of the black pudding). The portion size was really big. The Field Mushrooms & Roast Tomatoes | Parmesan | Sourdough Toast was lovely. A good portion. Ice latte was good (no sweeteners available) but orange juice was a really small portion. Really nice cafè and highly recommend! Service was 10/10. Had to wait about 5minutes to dine in.

Lovely Irish breakfast and tea! Staffs are very friendly and attentive. I had a pleasant time at the Farmgate Cafe, which is definitely worth a visit!

It’s a very nice place to have a good and tasteful lunch and drinks. Typical and a view above the English Market

Such a little hidden gem with stunning food at the heart of English Market 🤍 highly reccomend for quick lunch or catch up with friends 🤍

service is something that happens but there is no bad intentions. liver was overcooked. Potato was a punishment quiche was nice coffee is good. place is cute

I love the mushroom soup, so fresh and tasty! However the Risotto needs some improvement. It's overcooked and kinda sour. The staffs are so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely be back and try other food in their menu.

The cafe is located in the English Market, love the atmosphere and vibes. Food was okay but little pricey for this little portion. We ordered the Irish Lamb Stew, and the staff offered us splitting into two plates, so we said okay. Then when the bill comes, the price is like doubled. So better ask if they charge any extra services. One portion of lamb stew into two plates, the service charge is extremely crazy. Anyways we won't visit this city again.

Disappointing, brought family from UK in at 9am, menu is limited, got order wrong with poor quality, delay coffee's. I've been many times and all was good but not on this occasion.

Super cute place, perfect dishes and atmosphere. We had a late lunch, came like 30mins before closing, but we were welcomed. Can’t wait to come back soon. Thank you

Absolutely loved the sandwich here. Chicken Caesar was alright. Decent prices. Would definitely visit again.

Disappointing experience and meal. The menu was very basic, nothing special. Having breakfast staples is great, but they didn’t offer anything else, so it was very basic. I wish I spent my last Cork breakfast somewhere else.

Our food was sent to the wrong customers, and when the waiting staff recognised the mistake, they accused us first of rejecting the food and handing it to the customers. We had to wait an extra few minutes for our food to be reprepared which we didn't mind, but the cold service we received and the false accusation made us feel very unwelcome.

Delicious resotto and coffee

Went for coffee not long ago there. So happy it was finally opened after the pandemic. The day was sunny, had a really nice time

Heart of the English Market... Good buzz and hustle.. Always feels alive. Good casual offer, soup and sandwiches etc. Restaurant is an option too if you fancy something more substantial. Restaurant is fresh and local which is great, my only complaint is it is perhaps a little too traditional.

Went today for lunch for the first time in many years. Staff were OK except for one waiter ( foreign with beard) who was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Food was very underwhelming. Seafood chowder was watery . Goats cheese ciabatta was average. We were handed a paper well used menu. Also the prices on the paper menu do not tally with the scanned menu prices .

There are balanced taste of food and cosy atmosphere here. I highly recommend chowder and mushroom risotto
