The best restaurants

19/11/2025: Good coffee, people and ambience. Food could be better.

15/10/2025: A wonderful neighbourhood cafe with great coffee and the nicest staff.

16/12/2025: Great place, go everytime I'm in Cork. Also dog friendly

02/12/2025: I’m reluctant to leave a good review because it means that it will get more popular! This was my first visit but it won’t be my last. I had coffee and French toast with maple syrup and bacon. The French toast was yummy, with a lovely hit of cinnamon, good maple syrup accompanied by crispy, streaky bacon. The service is friendly and efficient and the space is cosy. A definite five stars.

22/05/2026: Local to Dublin and would go to no.27 a few times a year for a nice pre-dinner drink on special occasions, and book an annual conference here. My daughter and I had booked in for lunch before going to inquire about booking her wedding at The Shelbourne. Really poor experience using a voucher, poorly manager by the manager at no.27. The customer service turned us off and no longer progressing wedding inquiry (180 guests) as a result. Food and atmosphere, customer service aside, lovely as always.

18/05/2026: Other than The Duke's in St. John's, Newfoundland, best fish and chips ever! Super busy bar, but worth the wait. Amazing service.

30/06/2026: Food is good ...supermacs is probably one of the best fat foods restaurants around much better than many of the others except for one thing ...almost every fat food place other than supermacs provides sweetener with teaand coffee..whereas Supermacs don't ..and won't As a diabetic I find this policy lacking in foresight ...I've written to them and got a reply to say that they have no plans to introduce sweetener either .. With so many different allergies and other issues that are being dealt with this has to be one of the easiest to deal with ...sadly not Supermacs I gave 3 stars out of 5 ...I'd have given 5 except they refused my request

12/06/2026: This is one of the good Supermac's locations with nice people! The staff are actually helpful and have great manners. It is a wonderful, clean spot where people can enjoy quick, delicious meals with excellent service!

16/06/2026: Booked a takeaway at 5.15pm yesterday 15th June but 7pm it hadn't arrived. Called Mao & spoke with the manager. He was so rude and continued to tell me to call deliverroo as it wasn't his problem ! Deliveroo customer services close at 6.30pm so no joy there. Called the manager back & asked for a refund. He said no refunds, he continued being rude and so unprofessional. I will never order from Mao again as I got no food, no refund & sent 3 hours of my evening trying to sort it out ! The food is definitely not worth the hassle! Will go to Camille in future !

09/06/2026: Amazing food. Not sure when they reopened but the food we ordered for takeaway recently was delicious. Loads of flavour & a variety of veg in each dish.

09/09/2025: To be honest, I didn’t feel welcome here as a younger foreign visitor. The atmosphere felt very closed-off, with most of the crowd being 40–60 year old white locals or American tourists. Tourist and people are in here are friendly, however service from the bartender(maybe the owner) was unfriendly and included microaggressions that made me uncomfortable. I was deprioritised and even looked down on when served a beer. I felt quite sad when I leave here and ruined my trip in Kinsale. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you already fit that demographic.

04/09/2025: Great place for some Irish music and a pint, in a cosy pub.

01/09/2025: Great pints and nice atmosphere.

30/07/2025: A proper local pub with a decent crowd. Great for sports games and live music sessions.

21/11/2025: I wasn't sure what to order and so the very friendly staff recommended birria tacos. It was my first time having beef tacos and I loved them. Will definitely be back! 🌮

27/09/2025: This was my first time trying Mexican tacos at Republic of Grill, and they were absolutely delicious. They offer different flavors to choose from, but I especially enjoyed the spicy ones. The customer service is great—very friendly and professional which makes the experience even better. The atmosphere is welcoming with great vibes. It can get a little crowded at times because it’s popular, and while the prices are on the higher side, the quality and overall experience make it worth it. Definitely recommend!

23/09/2025: This was the perfect place for this Philadelphian! While an old traditional Irish pub, the wall was lined with Philly team hats! Pat the owner/bartender was very pleasant and personable, as we're all the friendly people I encountered there. This is a quiet but friendly bar and was perfect for my travel companion (who grew up up the street) and myself to sit at a table for personal discussions or at the bar to meet new folks. Weather did not permit, but there was an outside beer garden too! While visiting one evening,the back room broke out in Irish singing.. loved it. They do not serve food.

30/08/2025: Nice traditional.pub , enjoyed a pint or two! Great setvice from the elderly barman ,nice atmosphere.

20/11/2025: Absolutely lovely. Everything was better than expected. Food was great and service was excellent. I’m not easy to please but they surprised me

10/11/2025: Staffs are so kind, food are delicious and toilet is dry and clean. We love to come back

09/12/2025: I had heard so many good things about Brownes and the food truck that my partner and I decided to book a table for 6 people 2 weeks in advance in the outdoor area, a family get together which we were all looking forward to . On arriving into Brownes 15 mins before our booked time we were told that there was no table and we could not stay as they had a split the G contest for charity going on. My partner approached the lady that had taken the booking who had forgotten all about it and only we had it on the phone to show her she would not have believed us. I had driven from Dublin with two others to be there so to say I was annoyed would be an understatement. The lady did after we spoke to her offer to keep us a table but we would have to wait, or we could sit in smoking area which as none of us smoke was not suitable. We did wait for 15mins but decided to go somewhere else as we did not want our family night out completely ruined. My partner contacted Brownes and was given a €30.00 voucher, which I thought was a derisory token considering there was 6 people 3 of which had travelled from Dublin. I for one will not be returning if this is how they value their customers. I find Brownes handling of this issue totally unacceptable and if they had double booked they should have informed us so we could make alternative arrangements. Everything about this incident should be used as an example of how not run a business.

16/10/2025: Best pint of Guinness I had for ages, good barman, good craic in the bar, & it's convenient for the bus stops 100 yards away.. 👍

28/03/2026: Amazing rendang fillet beef!! Highly recommended

06/11/2025: Lovely food great selection in menu also

20/06/2026: Convenient town centre Cafe breakfast..lunch...snacks in or takeout.

24/05/2026: Got two coffees and some lovely cookies. Did not realise this cafe is owned by Quigles. Not sure why it was not just called what it is.

09/12/2025: Great atmosphere, lovely staff.

16/11/2025: I was here today I was on the function room
