The Olive Garden in Cork

31/07/2026: Great spot just on the end of McCurtain Street, which is becoming the social hub of Cork City. Good beers and cocktails and great service.

28/07/2026: an incredible experience at Thompsons! From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely outstanding and deserve every one of these five stars. They were warm, attentive, professional, and genuinely made us feel so welcome throughout the evening. The food was exceptional, with perfectly cooked steak and delicious sides, but what really made our visit unforgettable was the kindness of the team. Without any prior knowledge or special request from us, they noticed we were celebrating our daughter’s 11th birthday and went out of their way to make it extra special. It was such a thoughtful gesture and completely unexpected, creating a memory she’ll treasure for a long time. It’s rare to come across service that’s this genuine and heartfelt. The combination of amazing food and truly exceptional staff makes Thompsons one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Cork. We can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!
