The best restaurants

10/07/2024: Kati was very helpful. She was prompt. The menu was extensive. The prices were reasonable and the quality of the food was excellent! I highly recommend Primavera and give it a five.

07/06/2024: Very disappointed that when we requested bread, olives and balsamic to share we were told they didn't do this!!! Its an ITALIAN RESTAURANT! Food was good, staff were friendly if a little overwhelmed by our request! Most annoying of all was that when we're leaving we saw.. guess what?? Oil, balsamic and bread they had bread! Felt it was a little penny pinching..

12/02/2026: Used to be excellent. Price is 15 now for coconut chicken curry kinara kitchen. Too expensive for street food

19/02/2025: Not a Italian food not good no veg for pizza when asked only meat and roasted peppers : I wouldn’t recommend this place at all as it’s over priced and food was reheated. The vegetable I got with my lamb Shank was soggy and over cooked . The roasted potatoes where very dry all seemed reheated. Defo wouldn’t return.

15/02/2025: We went for dinner in Balcone resteraunt last night , I ordered bruschetta for starter , what I was served was not in any way a resteraunt standard bruschetta , it was a cheesy garlic bread , garlic butter which with melted cheddar and two cherry tomatoes placed on top . This resteraunt is apparently an Italian resteraunt but even the carbonara I had for my main course was more like soup , it had a very nice flavour but definitely wasn’t anywhere near authentic carbonara . I nearly needed a spoon to eat it, it had onion and grated cheese on top which I thought unusual. We had an assorted dessert and they were fine . Service was extremely slow . I would not recommend this restaurant

25/09/2025: Affordable and large portions! Also lots of seating available.

10/04/2026: My wife, 2 children and I enjoyed a delightful stay in Viking House earlier this month. It was one of the most inviting, warm and friendly places we have ever stayed. The views from the hotel were breathtaking with plenty of stunning walks straight from the hotel lobby. Having recently taken on new ownership it's clear that every effort is being made to give visitors a memorable experience. The food was fantastic and we sampled every item on the menu; they were all delicious as was the breakfasts. The vibe in the bar every evening was quintisentially Irish and didn't disappoint. We look forward to going back as we were made to feel very at home in this charming hotel.

16/02/2026: Wonderful, fast and tasty food. Sorry to see you go guys.

10/02/2026: Lovely and fresh food, the mango lassi was delicious and such a nice gentleman serving

17/11/2024: Hi everyone, Just stay as far away from this restaurant as much as possible. This is an honest review. I am writing this review for the welfare of people of Cork. This restaurant is the worst among the restaurants I visited in my life. And it’s the same after 3 years I visited again. Nothing changed. I went out with my friends for dinner, ordered few different curries with beaf and chicken, along with chapati and naan. It was difficult to order because the guy tried to force us to order things according to his choice not ours. Now the order arrived and story started. The food is literally 0.1/5 in taste. I asked the guy to change the chapatis as they were literally burnt. Not eatable. The guy gave his first argument that (we sell chapatis like this, you have to eat them burnt as it is) Then his arrogance kicked in and he stoped serving us, we left the restaurant with worst experience and spoiled night. As I am an asian guy and I know what they are selling to people of Cork on the name of Indian food, Absolutely nothing. Pretty much same curry thing with hundreds of names. You won’t feel a difference in any thing. Long story short. Please stay away. And now I realised that there are loads of reviews of same kind as I am giving. I regret I would have read those reviews before I had given them chance to spoil our night out.
