My Husband and I took 2 friens to the Star as a birthday treat. The welcome was lovely and the food great. As we explained when booking we were going to the Theatre, therefore the service was super. Could not have asked for better. Looking forward to our next trip to the Cork City so we can again dine there.... More

I dined in Star anise this evening with my girlfriend. Our second time there, we were greeted with a very warm welcome and the owner had remembered us from our first visit 2 months ago...

Went with hubby last night, for what I can only describe as an outstanding meal. Service was fantastic, so warm and welcoming and the food spectacular. Mouth watering and sublime flavours. Washed down with a gorgeous new zealand sauv blanc, fab! Well done Star Anise, will definately be back and will be highly recommending your restaurant to everybody.... More

I have eaten here a number of times and am always delighted with this little restaurant. It's quite cosy and intimate inside so probably more suited to couples or small groups. Not the venue for any type of loud behaviour as it would spoil the lovely chilled out atmosphere. I have eaten from both the Early bird menu which at... More

We got a very warm welcome from the staff at this restaurant which has a small but interesting menu and daily specials. We initially thought that it might be a bit chilly in the small room, but there is a large curtain across the door and once we started eating it felt much warmer. The food is French with a... More
