Romantic restaurants in Cork

There is nothing more romantic than being up high. Don’t believe us? Then why do so many people get engaged at the top of the Eiffel Tower, the summit of mountains, or on rooftops? These spots get the heart racing, and the blood pumping. Just like the Panorama Bistro. Set in a gorgeous location at the top of the Montenotte Hotel, Panorama Bistro looks out over the city of Cork. Grab your loved one, a window seat, and settle in for some delicious food like pan-fried medallions of monkfish, or herb crusted cod. After dinner, grab yourself a glass of champers and sit on their outdoor terrace overlooking the city.

We are absolute suckers for a rotisserie. If you’re anything like us, you’ll know there’s no greater pleasure than a perfectly roasted piece of meat or chicken. And so, if you’re anything like us, you’ll love Spitjack Rotisserie and Brasserie. As you’d expect, meat features high on the menu with delicious favourites like rotisserie pork belly and West Cork rotisserie chicken enough to whet anyone’s appetite. It’s the steaks that take pride of place though with 48 hour rotisserie roasted sirloins and surf and turf being particular highlights. If you’re looking for romantic restaurants in Cork, you’re in luck, the classy upstairs section of the venue is perfect for a relaxed date.

We always think that a good hotel restaurant is more romantic than any other. Perhaps it’s the knowledge that if you overindulge, you can always book a room and relax in the opulent suites. Regardless of the reason, if romantic restaurants in Cork are what you’re after, Fairbanks at The Kingsley Hotel is a great choice. This plush spot screams understated class, and the secluded corners and comfy seats make it a great place for a romantic meal in Cork. Start your meal off with oysters, a classic aphrodisiac and enjoyor great cooking like a dup of lamb loin or rack, or black sole with crab mousseline. If you’re staying at the hotel, make sure that you make full use of the fantastic facilities and treat yourselves to a spa treatment including facials or massages to really complete the loved-up experience.
