    Not very often do I say a restaurant in cork was enjoyable, but this truly was. The food was excellent, and extras were offered. The service was reasonably attentive. However, whilst the seating isn't terrible, they have gone for form over a little over function. I got seated in a chair, not really suited for dining.

    Just back from Spain so can say that the tapas here are legitimately great! It's a good selection covering all the favourites with great portions sizes and good local ingredients! Wasn't a huge fan of the art around the place and the open front made part of the restaurant Baltic cold but was an excellent meal with friendly service and a decent price

    Fabulous place! The food is delicious, staff are super friendly, and there is just a great atmosphere! People sitting outside and inside, gave it a real European feel. Great value, split between 4 of us, 32e each with a lot of food and wine included. Will be back!

    We had a lovely lunch there. Good selection of tapas, with the chef's own twists on the traditional recipes. A nice wine selection too. There was a very pleasant ambience inside. We will definitely be going back!

    Very average food and way overpriced. Met 3 friends for beer and tapas. We shared 4 tapas between us and we all left hungry. Average price of a single tapas was €10 and a glass of red wine was €9.50! The place itself is nice and the staff are friendly but I don’t like getting ripped off so I won’t be going back.

    This is one of the best places to have wine and tapas in Cork. They have varied selections on the menu for tapas. The staff are very nice and the service is top quality. If you want quality wine and quality food this is a nice spot to come. I would highly recommend booking in advance during peak times and/or at weekends.

    I have been in cork for the last 3 days and passing by that place wanted to stop but never did, until few hours ago… Guys it was simply perfect! The food was taste. flavoured and the atmosphere, all the staffs, they are very happy and enthusiastic and it reflect on the food. I had a sandwich (chicken with cheese and pesto I think), and a delicious food! After that as I love food I had a delicious chocolate brownie with a Nice warm chai latte! And the price was very good! Affordable … so everyone can enjoy it! I will definitely be back … Thank you 😊

    This is a really nice place, with amazing food and pretty incredible staff. The tapas are yummy and there's a very good variety. You need 2/3 plates per person, depending on what you get, great to share, like tapas are meant to be. The staff was incredibly helpful, super careful as one of us had an allergy, they were checking every plate with the kitchen to ensure it was fine. The only downside is that is not very child friendly, no high chairs or baby changing facilities, I would definitely recommend adding those as it shouldn't be too hard and could help and go aong way with the little ones 😁

    Thank you to the Moody Café Vin Bar’s personal! I recommend the Albóndigas (12€), the Irish beef and pork meatballs in fich tomato and pepper sauce are incredibly delicious! If you want to take the boat and sailling in the water, I propose you to try the sweet and tasty Crustacean: Velouté de Mejillones (11.5€) Mussels in a white wine velouté served with warm bread, so amazing! The only drawback of this dish is to have lots of breads but a limited amount of mussels. And if you are not satisfied enough, you can choose the Pera Caramelizada Con Queso Azul (13.5€) Caramalized pear with whipped blue cheese on toasted bread with rocket, pine nuts and balsamico. This is their absolute star! Have a wonderful moment and sharing experience with the people you love in this peaceful place!

    Love it, great menu full of delicious tapas with great choice for everyone from prawns to mussels, deep fried Brie to meatballs & chorizo dishes. Service swift & pleasant. Decor is casual & funky. Altogether leads to a great afternoon/evening out,

    Staff was attentive and friendly. I had a mocha, which turned out to be the best I've had outside of my own brewing at home. I also had tapas, the pan-fried fish with roast asparagus was HEAVENLY. I was barely leaving space to breathe between bites.

    Last night we were having a small party at Moody. What we found was an excellent balance of energy and relaxation in the atmosphere. Delicious tapas and wine was exactly what we were expecting.

    Food was decent. But the Service from long haired (tied Up) man was very poor. Had a booking turned up few min early. No hello, welcome anything but "we need the table by half 7" (2hrs) Had to ask for the bill twice. Left cash(with small tip despite) and looked like he was going to try stop us. Despite them having name number and card details from booking.
