That doesn't even summarize it. It may be hard to find if you're not familiar with the area but it's certainly worth the hunt! The food was wonderful and the owner herself was waiting on all the tables. She did a fantastic job taking care of everybody and while I was there she recognized everybody that came in and called...

We go to this restaurant mainly for the tapas they serve. It's absolutely delicious ! You will get a selection of tapas well presented together with a jug of tasty sangria. One of the best tapas I had ! Also they have a good selection of other dishes like gulas soup or beef stroganoff. The owner - Agnieszka - is... More

Old fashioned courtesy always impresses me. So when I was greeted warmly from across the room on my first visit to the Continental by the only visible member of staff, you could say I got a great first impression. My order for soup of the day was met with a swift and pleasant response. The soup, and the assorted slices... More

I loved everything about the restaurant. The hostess agnes was friendly and chatty,the food was WOW and the Restaurant itself was just lovely and comfortable. The only downside was the location in maylor Street which at night is not exactly full of hustle and bustle. More

Went for dinner there recently, there were eight of us in total. It was just superb. Firstly, they do their early bird all night, which is wonderful if you are on a tight budget. The food is wonderful. Agnes, the waitress/hostess is just a joy. She really takes care of you and you feel just so at home. The food... More

Went to the Continental on Saturday night. We had the tapas combi for starters which I would recommend. A lovely taster of meat, veg and fish dishes. We both had the duck for main which was perfectly cooked, Deserts were tasy, in particular the homemade icecream with liquer and nuts. Waitress was lovely and very friendly and the place has... More

This is located in city centre and offers morning coffee, brunch and lunch. Food is good and service is swift. Location is not great, Maylor street being a very ugly street. Nearest Car park is Merchants Quay car park, about 3 mins walk. More

What I like best about Continental is that it feels a little continental. It's not the kind of place where you're overwhelmed by the heating system or sound system as you enter - it's reminiscint of any neighbourhood restaurant in an edgy urban locality - informal and functional. Now, say what you like about Cork but it is edgier than... More
