A real 5 star experience that made a friend reunion for the first time since Covid really really special. The server was so lovely and really went into detail about the menu with us. Everything we ordered was incredible, so fresh, full of flavour and inventively presented. Great spritz’s and wine pairings too. The vibe of the place is so cool and the music was excellent. Really couldn’t fault the whole experience and we left on a high. Will definitely be back as I want to taste everything else on the menu!

Absolutely glorious meal. We really loved the philosophy and the ever changing menu - even during the day to accommodate what was left from the day’s stocks. The sauces with our mains left us looking for something, anything, to mop it up with 😁 Service was great, relaxed and informal, in a lovely setting. Plus, great beers!

Fabulous, delicious, welcoming; I could go on and on but am just not that eloquent. This place provided us with one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Such new takes on everything, ingredients put together in such unique and yummy ways. Each complex taste is delicious on its own, and stunning when out all together. But what really steals the show here, and their other 4 restaurants, is the staff. The welcome, the service, the knowledge, and the smiles. Obviously they know how to hire and keep good people. Kelly - thanks for finding us a spot as walk ins, you are a doll with contagious positive energy! Eva-your friendliness,knowledge, joy enhanced our dining experience. It was a pleasure to interact with any of the staff, keep up the great work. You have something quite special here!

Absolutely superb food and service from start to finish. Even better than last time we were here. Wife is pregnant and the chef had clearly marked out on the menu ahead of time the small few things she couldn't have. It's the small things that make the difference. Great staff and food thank you Team Goldie

Casual vibes but the food is immaculate. We really enjoyed trying some different sides with our dishes. Our server was great. Highly recommend if you can manage a reservation.

A very welcoming and exciting experience. The waiter talked us through the menu and we felt immediately relaxed. Great service and great food and wine 10/10

Goldie accommodated us with a last minute table on a Saturday evening. It was our first time coming here and I would dine here everyday if I had the chance. It is a must visit & cannot recommended highly enough.

Despite an abundance of amazing seafood in Cork, it's difficult to find something that isn't battered, smoked or "chowdered". Thankfully that's not the case here. This is good seafood with invention and flair. We had a late sitting, so there were quite a few items not available on the menu (as it should be for fresh fish). Everything we tried was excellent. The cured cod pastrami was a personal favourite and the "snacks" were excellent. Far superior to anything I've eaten for quite some time. The main course, Haddock (replacing Hake) with peppercorn sauce, was nice but overshadowed by what came before. Desserts were amazing. Hopefully, we'll get an opportunity to come back here in the not too distant future for an early sitting and work our way through the rest of the menu.

Had an amazing meal at Goldies. The service was great, really attentive, friendly, explaining everything. The food was also delicious. I highly recommend visiting if you're in Cork! Reasonably priced as well.

Fantastic food. Got great recommendations from the staff! They had a good selection of white wine and the Elbow Lane beers

Amazing amazing amazing. Would highly recommend. Tapas style dining. Price for the quality, presentation and taste of the food was excellent. The staff are wonderful and nothing was to big of a ask. They let our dog also join in and brought him a bowl of water and made sure he was ok. Very hard to find restaurants in Ireland that are dog friendly.

Great food and service. Nice experience and different flavours

Fantastic atmosphere, as well as fantastic food. Everything was cooked to perfection, with very unique flavour combinations that offer an interesting experience from regular fish resteraunts. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Our waiter was great craic, he walked us through the menu and gave us brilliant recommendations. The deserts were fantastic also, with the White-Chocolate and Sea Salt ice-cream with Buckwheat being one of the nicest deserts I've had in a very long time. If you like fish, this place is an absolute must try.

Almost perfect. The service was superb, the waiting staff could not have been any more accommodating if they tried. The fish meals were sublime, the only small issue was with the starter which one piece of the Bombay ??? It still tasted OK but was bitter than the other pieces which were exquisite.

Everything was divine! Highly recommend to order oysters with strawberry vinegar granita, such a fantastic combination! Hurry up as the menu constantly changes every day 😉

This gem is your go to in Cork city. If you are looking for creativity, explosion of flavors and passion. Aishling the owner and her team will make sure for your best experience! I truly recommend this restaurant.

Best restaurant in Cork city. As close to Michelin star dining that cork has to offer. The food is sensational couldn’t fault anything. We were 4 so we tried everything on the menu bar 1 main and a few sides the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was so nice. Already thinking of going back can’t wait 👍

I could not recommend this restaurant highly enough. Dare I even say, it was the best dining experience of 2023! Beating some tenured London establishments, so hats off to the team! Being half Taiwanese, I was surprised to see a classic Taiwanese street food dish on the menu which was so well done I actually teared up. Each and every dish was spectacular in its own right and equally delicious. Between two people we ordered; one snack, two starters, two mains and one dessert. Plus two hot drinks at the end. The bill was just shy of €100 - a complete bargain for the attention to detail from the kitchen brigade but also the serving staff. It did not escape my attention that the kitchen brigade was 50/50 men and women, and all but one of the serving staff were women. The synchronised team were a dream to watch (we were sat in front of the cold station at the counters). If you only eat at one restaurant in Cork, this must be it! Well done Aishling Moore and team!

Delicious food, warm welcoming and friendly staff with good service. You won’t be disappointed checking it out this place in particular their dishes are super tasty. Among the courses, the main dish was fantastic!👌🏻😋 The dessert was a little bit disappointing but still tasty!

Excellent Food and fresh, very special and gourmet! Love the service!

10/10. Not only is this the best restaurant in Cork, but the best restaurant I have been to in Ireland. Everything about it is perfect… From the genuinely warm initial greeting, to being taken on an “experience” of passion through the staff. Matt’s enthusiasm will take you on a dining journey like no other. And then the food. The snacks and small plates are a taste explosion! Prepare to say “the best” a few times. This is the most authentic place to have food in Cork. Don’t be silly, just go!

Called in a short while ago for an overdue visit and enjoyed what was probably one of the best meals of my life. The server was top class to begin with and very helpful, and needless to say the seafood was the best I've ever tried, cured cod pastrami and a delicious pan roast pollock for the main were the highlights. What surprisingly stole the show for me was the dessert: chamomile pannacotta, served with a honey and apple purée along with a ginger crumb, honestly the most delicious and elevated deconstruction of an apple crumble that you could imagine without being too notionsy in any way, and certainly my favourite dessert of all time. Haven't stopped thinking about it since. Also the value for what you get is amazing, and despite being a fairly hungry guy, I left both nourished and satisfied. Can't recommend enough.

First time at Goldie and the food was amazing. Love the idea of the menu revolving arpund what comes in on the boats that very day!!!

Phenomenal. Perfect food and service. I feel fortunate to have visited a lot of great restaurants in Cork but the care and attention here make it stand out. I'm regretting not getting more of the cured haddock, the monkfish was ridiculous and even the dal was the best I've ever tasted. So much to enjoy.

One of the best meals I have ever had the pleasure of eating in Cork. Well worth the money. I highly recommend ordering a bunch of their starter plates - it really was a lot of food and a chance to sample all of the different tastes.
