1 Best Restaurant in County Cork, Ireland

Greenes Restaurant

$$$ | City Center North Fodor's choice

Tucked away on a cobbled patio, this surprising haven is part of a Victorian warehouse conversion that houses Hotel Isaacs. Stone and redbrick walls are the backdrop to a minimalist modern interior, while out back a gigantic rock-wall waterfall makes a stunning backdrop to the dining area. The menu features the best of local produce, often served with an unusual twist. Start with organic Ummera smoked salmon three ways—with lemon, beetroot, and crème fraîche on organic leaves—or steamed West Cork mussels (marinière or with chorizo and onion). For dessert, try the iced white chocolate parfait with roast peaches or classic crème brûlée.

Advance booking advisable weekends and during festivals.
