As someone who loves food I was excited to read about how Market Lane focuses on 'Fresh local produce, sourced where possible from (one of my favourite places) the English Market. I really was looking forward to some great fresh food. We arrived to a very busy restaurant, as it was a saturday night this is to be expected and... more

I rarely wite reviews however Market lane deserves a special mention. They appear to be more concened with group bookings and fast turnaround times rather than giving the customer the attention. To start with they do not acpet bookings of less than 6 (why?). The food was bland. The mixed fish pasta dish and the vegetarian curry looked poor and... more

We had not booked but were quickly found a table in what is a buzzy attractive space. Not being that hungry we just ordered main courses, these arrived very promptly and were models of dishes with carefully local sourced ingredients cooked well. Was very impressed and would certainly go again. more

We ate here at the end of October basically because of the reviews on tripadvisor. Impressed straight away with the layout and the nice buzz about the place. Although we didn't have a reservation (they don't allow you to book unless there are 6 or more people) and the place was very busy there didn't seem to be any trouble... more

Market Lane was a lovely place in the middle of Cork that offered a wide variety of food. My wife has Celiacs, so having a whole menu of gourmet level food that catered to her every need was fantastic. My seafood pie was delectable as well. Service was fast and friendly, and the price wasn't too steep for such a... more

Went on Trip Advisor's reccomendation when I was looking to book somewhere for myself, my girlfriend and two of my oldest friends and their partners. Went with Market Lane on the advice of this site and I'm glad I did. A lovely menu with a great range of foods and everyone was extremely happy with their meals. Lovely setting too... more

We ate at Market Lane on Monday 7 September 2009, our last night in Ireland and our best meal of our week long stay. The food was great and the service, which seemed a little quick to start off, ended up matching our pace of eating. Wished we had found it sooner and then we could have eaten there on... more
