The best restaurants

03/09/2026: Super chipper and the lads always have a warm welcome.

04/08/2026: We were recommended Tony's Takeaway and the food and staff did not disappoint. Well worth a visit.

03/09/2026: Ordered Pizza online the works strictly with no peppers as family member is allergic this is the 3rd time the pizza had peppers, one staff member was very nice and apologetic and made a fresh one but it took long had to keep rest of order for over 30 mins in their food heater to wait, coming home now chicken piece that came along was soggy doesn't look fully cooked the 6 free bourbon wings promised with online order missing and I can't get anyone there to talk to because no one answers the phone. Not ok.

21/08/2026: Dirtiest Supermacs I've seen. Thought it was a one time occurrence. But second time now. Won't be going back.

07/09/2026: Food is okay but this one was bad. Avacados raw and hard. We got the seared salmon roll. Salmon plain sushi just plain rice and a hard piece of avocado. No flavour

04/07/2026: Always great food! The spice bag is 10/10 would recommend

07/07/2026: The whole establishment (besides the entry way) needed an update. Furnishings had furniture from a 90s best western and needs replacing. For a “luxury” hotel, it was VERY frustrating. The price was absolutely not worth the stay. I would have rather stayed somewhere cheaper. The staff we encountered were lovely and kind. I got the sense that management needed to change. Cleanliness was an issue. The smell in our room was concerning to point I worried about a dead animal somewhere. The view was gorgeous and the building from the outside was outstanding and well preserved. Overall, not worth the price, but worth a look if going the restaurant.

12/06/2026: Room was lovely. Service was lacking in the staff, some seemed just blatantly disrespectful and others really tried to go above and beyond. The food was inconsistent which was disappointing at best. This place really needs to work on their hospitality and consistency to be rated any higher.

16/07/2026: Another AMAZING night in the Square Bar, came into watch The World Cup and ended up playing the The Quiz. Great night with amazing staff highly recommend to all and a special shout out to the staff; Aoife, Alishia, & Niamh!! I'll be back for the final & quiz again

27/05/2026: As always, very relaxed. And as good as ever. Staff are great and make you feel at home! Plus Wednesday night table quiz is great fun.

21/04/2026: Perfect spot for a little outdoor piddle party, wall is at a perfect angle, caught some lady glancing at me though, felt a little rude!

21/04/2026: I saw a man urinate on the side of the building.

20/05/2026: Wonderful service, very good atmosphere

19/05/2026: Lively the night we were there with a good atmosphere. Wine served by the small bottle which is preferable in a pub.

02/08/2026: Great value and amazing atmosphere 👏

26/07/2026: The food was good pib grub, the staff were very friendly and helpful... I'd go again

08/08/2026: Great shop Pitty they are not in galway Bought a fantastic pizza oven delivered to galway Great people to deal with great great service

19/07/2026: The prices aren’t always great but the plants are priced low. Got a huge monstera today easily worth €40 for 25. But they aren’t well cared for and crammed into small pot so you need to confident with you plane care skills when buying and by ready to re-pot ASAP

26/07/2026: Exceptional breakfast. Tasty, full sized portion at a very fair price. Coffee was also excellent and staff very accommodating.

18/06/2026: We popped into MacsShack at that brunch awkward time where we couldn't deicde between breakkie & lunch! We each had a little of both and have left perfectly full & very satisfied after some very tasty food. We shared between two, a breakkie omelette, added some homemade potato cakes, hm brown bread was delicious, with also a chicken caesar salad, side of fries and 2 grand cups of tea! It set us up for the rest of day. Very friendly staff & nothing a hassle. Thanks a mill guys ✨️

27/08/2026: I would like to thank Sean for the excellent service he delivered. I will definitely be back! The food and the service was exceptional.

25/08/2026: Delicious food with a beautiful view of the lake!

04/08/2026: Very friendly, delicious food!!

30/07/2026: We had a fantastic experience at Johnny Frank’s Bar! We stopped in on a weekday at around 6:30 p.m., and everything was excellent from start to finish. Our meals included the homemade soup of the day with freshly baked bread, the Meadowlands Seafood Chowder, the Pióg Pies’ Lamb Pie, the kids’ pan-fried chicken fillet with mash and vegetables, and Johnny’s Special. The food arrived quickly, was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. We also appreciated how clean everything was, including the bathrooms. We were staying at the hotel next door, so it was very convenient to walk over for dinner. We highly recommend Johnny Frank’s Bar to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a pleasant dining experience.

05/07/2026: Quaint little wine bar, feels like someone's living room, warm service, great wines, highly recommend for a chilled evening in the heart of the city

21/06/2026: This is one of the hidden gems in Cork. It was a place that I was recommended by a friend. I had never heard of the place. When I went it has a chill atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable. A must visit for a nice glass of vino.
