Enjoyed a beautiful meal, melt in the mouth fillet steak and the Strawberry Glory was devine. Lovey surroundings, no pressure to get us out, relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff. Would definitely recomend.

Visited Market Lane based on the reviews.It has a very interesting menu and a good location.We went for the early evening offer which with 4 courses at €20 looked great value. Started with the French onion soup which was ok. The County pork and liver pate was an enormous portion.The main courses we had were the Slow cooked ham hock and the smoked haddock.Very disappointed with both, the ham was an enormous bone with the meat totally lacking any taste, the cabbage was not properly cooked but the cauliflower was totally overcooked.Potatoes had no flavor of any sort.The skin had been burnt on both pieces of haddock and again had no flavor.Portions are very large.It seems to be a place for a big feed.Other diners seemed satisfied and staff are very professional.There were two people dining alone and the staff went out of their way to make them feel welcome.

My guy & I tried this place on a recommendation from our B&B host (Tony at Fernroyd House - EXCELLENT B&B!) and are so glad we did! We got home 2 weeks ago and I am STILL talking about this meal. We didn't have a reservation but were seated right away. The service was spot on the entire night! We split a duck confit appetizer that was very savory. Then I had the best steak I had the entire trip - just melted in my mouth & seasoned and cooked perfectly! He had the fish with a creamy sauce that was delicious. Then we finished off with a yummy dessert. All told the bill was EURO 60-65 - an excellent value for all that food plus 2 drinks each (this dinner could have easily cost $100+ in Boston)! I have been & will continue to tell everyone to go to Market Lane when in Cork!

Loved this restaurant. checked out the menu for lunch and it wasnt really what we were looking for but ended up going back for dinner. it was buzzing. the food was simply gorgeous and resonably priced too. definetly reccomend.
