Island Gate
Menu
A comprehensive menu of Island Gate from Bantry featuring all 21 meals and drinks can be found here on the menu.
Nestled off the beaten path, this Cork restaurant is a nostalgic gem, known for its hearty carvery and attentive staff. While recent visits revealed a charming yet dated decor, the quality of the food received mixed reviews. Diners praised the genuine warmth of the service, especially during busy lunch hours. However, some dishes fell short of expectations, with complaints about overcooked items and lack of freshness. Despite these setbacks, the warm atmosphere and ample parking make it a convenient stop for families. With a little reinvigoration, this eatery could reclaim its status as a beloved local classic.

Was Roger C at Island Gate a mag?
Island Gate is a well-known spot in Cork, especially for those traveling along the old main road to Youghal and Waterford. Since the new bypass has reduced traffic, the area is now calm, creating a more relaxing atmosphere. The menu features a wide range of carvery dishes and popular lunch options, which I enjoyed during my visit. The service was prompt, and the staff were outstanding. Situated just outside the city,...

What williamCarrigaline dislikes about Island Gate:
We recently hosted a group of over 20 people at Island Gate, and everyone was pleased with their meals. The restaurant could benefit from some maintenance, particularly a new carpet. View all feedback.
Love getting my lunch here, The new smokey hot sauce is unreal,
Food was great and the service by Kate was excellent.
Our office order from this zambrero all the time and love it so much it's concerning. Staff are always lovely and happy to help. Shout out to Saoirse for adding guacamole to our burrito
First time I have been asked to leave a review by a staff member, and you know what, I love the confidence. Food is incredible, with this place being so popular, you are always getting the freshest possible ingredients as they sell so fast and they need to keep topping up. Everything from the rice to the lime juice, prepared in store. Staff are extremely friendly and well trained, sometimes I even wonder if they are trained in conversation with customers as I always seem to walk away from the till with a smile on my face. I have also noticed that they change gloves between each customer, which proves the level of cleanliness and quality within the kitchen. I have experienced the burritos from each staff member and I have to say, the consistency is unbelievable. Either the manager has hit the jackpot with staff or learned how to correctly manage people a very rare skill these days . Great job guys I have been blown away, see you tomorrow!
Really nice food, quality of meats is good. The prices are insane however, 13€ plus for regular, they add 1.9€ for a spoon of avocado lol Kind of hard to order as they do not name their ingredients and you need to ask the staff for guidance during ordering, with loud music in the background local spar shop, not this restaurants fault). Overall nice food but prices are incredibly high, would want to be on a six figure salary to eat here
