Located in one of the attractive squares in the centre of the historic town of Cobh and nestling under the famous St. Colman’s Cathedral it offers the unique opportunity to sample a delicious meal and then retire to the luxurious accommodation just above the restaurant. Gilbert's is the newest restaurant in  Cobh. Gilbert's is different – come to Cobh and see for yourself. The modern décor complements the contemporary Irish food served bistro-style in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Fully licensed, it is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner including an ‘early bird’ option. 

All produce is sourced locally where possible and daily specials appear on the lunch and dinner menus including homemade soup and an interesting vegetarian option. Every dish is cooked to order by our French chef, whose specialities include seared Wexford scallops carbonara, roast lamb cooked to perfection and possibly the best crème brûlee in Ireland. Try a ‘Gilbert's special’ for breakfast with toast and coffee; fresh fish  for lunch and dinner and  finish with a selection of Irish cheese or our homemade ice cream – who can resist such temptation?  Or just call in for a pichet of wine and something to nibble after a long day at the office.  The restaurant can cater for small private parties which can be tucked away in two cosy alcoves set back from the main dining area.
