Greenes is a fantastic restaurant experience. Where we went for the set 3 course meal, we felt there was great choice with varying dish types. The hake was absolutely amazing.

Accommodated a coeliac diner perfectly. We were assured at each course of the dish ingredients and of preparation, and every concern was answered. We were seated at the outdoor pods which were lovely! The staff were wonderfully friendly, atmosphere great. Would 110% recommend for gluten free dining in Cork city

Fish so fresh it could have given me a weather update in the Atlantic. I went here for Sunday lunch with my family and I had the scallops to start with the market fish for my main course. All courses were presented beautiful and both fish dishes were fresh, delicate and beyond delicious. I can't wait to go back.

"Out of this world... Wonderful experience" We had a fantastic experience in Greene's restaurant celebrating a friends birthday. Food was amazing. Staff were so professional..We hadn't mentioned it to the staff but our fabulous waitress Abbie overheard us and got the chef to write happy birthday on the Birthday girls dessert plate. Very impressive.... what a wonderful young lady.. Thanks Abbie.

"Last minute decision, just perfect" As usual the service and food were excellent. We ordered what we like and had the courses interspersed with Amuse bouche which were all delicious. Can not fault this place.

"Superlative" Celebrating a family occasion at Greenes and it really was superlative. The service was attentive but not overbearing, the food was delicious. I think Greenes must be the best restaurant in Cork. The pre-theatre menu is good value but the a la carte is very expensive. The setting with the waterfall is very nice indeed.
Italian far right is edging closer to power. ...
