Bunsen is my go to for a delicious and simple burger. As a coeliac, they have a gluten free bun, and the chips are gluten free, which is amazing. Plus good value for money.

Very tasty burger and one of the best fries (chips) 🍟 are found here🍔. Their own Bunsen pale ale 🍺 is also a spectacle, it has a very good taste and for me it had a hint of elderflower somehow. I never had anything like it before (a must try). The burgers are decent, the fries definitely steal the show, they are so generous with fries as well. These fries are so tasty, if you are not up for a burger, you should at least try the fries.🍟

If you love burgers, fries, and shakes then you MUST GO TO BUNSEN! The cheeseburger had the perfect melting of the cheese yet still compact, the hand cut fries were amazing, and the thickness of that chocolate shake was magnificent.
If the food in heaven does not taste like this, then I do not want it.

Siempre excelente pro los últimos 10 años 😊
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5/5 – Great Burgers, but Bun Needs Attention
Bunsen continues to impress with its juicy, well-cooked patties, crisp fries, and no-frills approach that keeps the focus on quality. The service is quick and friendly, and the vibe is relaxed and consistent.
However, on my last visit, the bun wasn’t up to the usual standard—it felt underdone and lacked the usual texture that sets Bunsen apart. This change was noticeable and disappointing. It needs immediate attention from management to maintain the high standards customers expect.
Still a solid spot, but I hope this is quickly addressed.

Have visited this establishment many times and it's good to see it's still a staple in Cork.
Good place to bring indecisive eaters if you're inclined 😅
Usually seated right away depending on time of visit.
Good for a quick bite.
Personal pet peeve:
- Acknowledgement of 'tips' during payment: find it odd for a fast food to bring it to your attention about 'Tipping'.
It's almost as if it's expected for someone doing their job, that they're already being paid for?
Imagine applying that to every other profession.
Really put me off from visiting the establishment and especially, if you've been to Bunsen since they've opened and their burgers used to be priced from €7; find this practice to be really strange.

A very tasty burger at the Bunsen restaurant, ordered just the plain burger to see how it tasted. It is a very big burger and for the price at almost €10 euros with the cost of living gone so high and vat rates for business. I have to admit it was value for money.
The burger was cooked to perfection and nice and juicy and was served by two great attentive and welcoming waitresses.
Also ordered the chips and was glad to see a very large portion served as a lot of places are serving very little. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Service was nice and quick the time it took to cook the burger was the waiting time.
Your table is also served with a big jug of fresh cold water which is an extra nice part of the service. There is also a nice selection of condiments on your table for free such as different sauces and mayonnaise. The staff were great and had pride in their work. It has a nice simple little menu if you like your burgers I would recommend trying the food and service here.
A gem in the heart of Cork. I loved this burger joint for many reasons: very reasonable prices, a cozy place that invites you to linger, and above all, a team of lovely people.
The service was excellent from the start, and I especially want to give a shout-out to a Brazilian guy (sorry I can't remember your name!) for his kindness and friendliness.
The burger... simply spectacular. Quality meat, fresh ingredients, and attention to detail. The menu is short, which is appreciated: few dishes, but all perfectly executed. They know what they're doing and they do it very well.
I recommend this place with complete confidence. If you're in Cork and fancy a real burger, this is the place. I'll definitely be back!

Walking into Bunsen is like walking home, from the moment you step In you are greeted usually by the coolest hardest worker keela who always pay such close attention to your order and always makes you smile, food here never dissapoints and the only thing I’m sad about is how Bunsen closes at night, wish it was 24 hours I’d move in with a sleeping bag, and keep the burgers coming! They should get mandatory tips! Wonderfully clean place and the kitchen never disappoints
