Market House Restaurant 10 South Square, Rosscarbery, County Cork P85 KX28

"Loved the Market House, it was a real treat from start to finish. Our host was welcoming and the food was amazing. Compliments to the saucier/chef."

"We arrived late after driving from Dublin and the lovely hostess accommodated us before closing. The food was amazing and was exactly what the doctor ordered after the long drive. My wife had the haddock special while I had the haddock wrapped in pancetta, both of which were delicious along with the potatoes and veg. The steamed chocolate pudding for dessert was the best I have had. It is also BYOW so I was able to pick up a very reasonably priced bottle of wine from the shop down the road. Could not recommend this place enough if you are in the area and looking for top notch food at a very reasonable price."

"The food is absolutely amazing! I had pancetta wrapped haddock...to die for. My husband had the lamb stew...absolutely delicious! Must try! I may come again tomorrow night!"

"Fantastic service, ambiance, and food. Very enjoyable!"

"We came here as a group after a long day of traveling from Waterford and spending time in Cork. We had a late dinner at this precious little spot ran by a sweet couple. The place itself is just precious. From the teal decor to the modern yet comfortable seating to the plates on the wall and chalkboard specials. Everything just screamed "come in and stay for a bit". We were a group of 6 and shared quite a few starters: the wild game paté with a delicious chutney, mussels, and lamb kidneys. The paté was the table favorite. The kidneys were very good. The mussels we're good but I wanted more broth and felt they could have steamed another minute. For dinners a couple of us had the salmon that was in a bed of the most delicious sauce. The salmon was perfectly cooked but could have use just a touch more seasoning. Another had the mussels and crayfish fettuccini. It came in a red sauce that wasn't too heavy. The pasta tasted fresh and was perfectly cooked as was the seafood. The veal was also delicious and I loved that it came with small orange slices that somehow worked perfectly with the dish. Hiweverc, my favorite dish on the table was probably the pork chop that came with cabbage in a rosemary gravy. This dish was just so perfectly done and felt so Irish but with a modern flair. J thought it was just perfection. We were given a family style side of carrots and potatoes that everyone enjoyed. They seemed to be cooked in honey or something sweet that made them taste almost carmelized. So good. We ended the night with apple pie and the ginger crumble. The apple pie was very good, cinnamony and moist. Crusty and warm. However, everyone agreed the ginger crumble stole the show. It was served over a mixed berry compote type dish and came with a ceam sauce you poured on top that complimented it perfectly. This dish should be a menu staple and never leave so long as they can help it. The restaurant is BYOB so we stopped at the market down the street for wine. The server corked the wines for us and even put the white in a ice bucket to chill for us. He was very sweet and even though it seemed to be only him for the entire (very small) restaurant, he did a great job. Overall, it was a really enjoyable evening. We weren't rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy our meal. While I do feel there is some room for improvement, I'm giving five stars because I feel I'll leave Ireland with the fondest memories of this sweet spot and wish the owners nothing but sucess."
