The Castle Blackrock - Neighbourhood Restaurant

Wonderful fresh fish and the chips were nice and crunchy. Service was very pleasant and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere and a good pint of Murphys and I'm normally a Beamish man

Lovely spot. Service excellent - really appreciated front of house squeezing us in on a busy Sunday without a booking. Food is excellent, really recommend the cauliflower bravas.

Popped in for a bite-o-brunch last Sunday, and it was lovely! The restaurant is situated in a unique location as a part of the Blackrock Observatory and is very nicely appointed. We arrived at around 10.30am and we were immediately seated in the main space. The was a gentle crowd in the room and we were sitting right in the middle and not overwhelmed by noise. We ordered coffees and we both ordered shakshuka. It was pretty tasty, but lacked a touch of flavour. I reckon a bit of chorizo would have made it perfect for us, so maybe it would good as an option? Paying was a tiny bit awkward. The bill was brought to the table but payment was at the till. It was awkward because the space by the till is usually filled with people waiting for a table, and I had to be fetched and walk to the other side of the restaurant to pay. Still, a great spot for a bit and fairly priced so I say it is worth the the trip out there!

Enjoyed lunch with family. Ordered Balinese Nasi Goreng. It was a bit salty, but it was tasty. Lovely warm atmosphere.

Fabulous lunch, Lebanese dish & sandwich with delicious salad & chips, all yummy! Great to see a good selection of zero alcohol. Restaurant was very busy but we got a table after a few minutes wait, probably best to reserve as it is clearly popular and you can see why. Pricing is fair, service pleasant, nice atmosphere and food excellent. Will return.

We had the Turkish plate, eggs Benedict, and a scone, all super delicious. The scone is perfectly done with the right amount of raisin and crunchy crust. Highly recommended!

Such a great experience last night. I brought my fiancé here for her birthday. Honestly, the nicest food I’ve had all year. Both dinners and desserts were an experience. Not only that but the staff were incredibly friendly and a really relaxed atmosphere, you can tell they put a lot of thought into the surroundings. 10/10, I can’t wait to come back for my birthday.

One of the Best Cafe we have tried. The atmosphere is soo relaxing. There are outside tables available, an indoor area overlooking the castle and there is another indoor area which i think is suitable for an intimate date and group coffee date. Kidding aside, the food is delicious 5/5, the coffee is definitely one of the best and the staff is soo approachable and lovely. They really prioritize the satisfaction of there customers. Highly recommended Cafe in Cork. They also have coloring materials for kids so they will be entertain and not to get bored👍🏻
