Scanning through Wild Restaurant Cork photos online gives an impression of warmth that translates well into the dining experience itself. The menu embraces traditional Irish ingredients with a modern twist, offering dishes that strike a balance between comfort and creativity.

Twice in two days!! I was so tired from traveling I got take away the first day. The mussels were THE BEST I’ve had in Ireland and I’ve had mussels several times. I also had homemade Pappardelle with butternut squash. AMAZING!! But what I REALLY wanted was the Hake. My second meal I would eat at the restaurant ….it said the hake was served with gnocchi so I shied from it bc I’m used to what I call bellybombs (gnocchi). The lovely co-owner explained it was not gnocchi as I knew it. She was not lying! The Hake with gnocchi was prepared BEAUTIFULLY….i can’t get over the AMOUNT of individual flavors that this chef combines to create MASTERPIECES! I also had the Poached pear salad that was well proportioned for a starter and tasty…mint dressing that was light, not overpowering …. Just DELICIOUS!! Then, the dessert, profiterole that was nothing like I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten plenty of it in my life. The cream inside was like nothing I ever tasted. Welp, guess I have to move to Ireland bc OH MY GOODNESS!!! BEST FOOD EVER!!! The restaurant is inviting and different. This is a mega A PLUS!!! Sorry I dug into the dessert before I took the picture but but….

Loved it, didn't have much food but looking forward to going back. We were down at the local beach which was packed and incredibly stressful. Stopped in this village to get petrol and we got Wild thrown in for good measure. So relaxing, lovely setting, beautiful music, great ambiance, friendly staff. I literally didn't want to go home. Completely chilled me out. Food was well presented, nice portions, beer prices seemed reasonable. Lovely spot for a meal.

Gorgeous cute restaurant. The food is of great quality and so flavoursome. Amazing efficient service with just the owner serving on a pretty busy evening. Went home happy after our experience there.

Landed here after a long day of traveling. The Papperdelle was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. If you are in the area or passing by, "Wild" is definitely worth calling in too.

Delicious food! Friendly people. We tried to visit on our first night in Cork but were too late (kitchen closed), the staff so kindly pointed us to what else was still open at that hour. We then tried on our last day in Cork and were very happy with the seafood we received. Personally, I’m surprised by the unexpected Thai - influence!

This is a gem worth travelling to. Excellent food. We had perfectly done chicken wings in the mouth watering house hot sauce, crispy pork belly in asian slaw, and breaded cauliflower florets with garlic and truffle mayo to start, then spectacular beef cheecks, mash, broccoli with wild mushroom sauce, and pappardelle squash basil sauce with parmesan. For desert a 'Wild' mess with a "unicorn tears" berry compote with fresh strawberries, and a decadent belgian chocolate hot sweet treat served with vanilla ice cream. We left more than satisfied. Well done and keep it up! Thank you.

Fantastic experience all around. The restaurant is so comfortable and cozy. Great staff and the food was excellent. Had a thoroughly lovely time here. Had the fresh lobster croquettes starter, the tbone steak with blue cheese walnut sauce, the chocolate indulgence and a decaf cappuccino. A perfect Sunday treat!
