The best restaurants in Cork city council

21/11/2023: Absolutely amazing!! The food, brews and service are all top tier. Staff knew everything about everything in the house and so helpful with deciding what to order. Definitely worth booking in and stopping by 🤩

19/11/2023: I've eaten here twice. It has a trendy atmosphere with beautiful cocktails. Some very punchy starters.. I'd highly recommend the pork belly. Had steak for my main. Personally, I'd prefer a 6oz or 8 oz filet rather than the T-bone and rib eye that's on the menu, but that's a personal thing. The sides are all bold, I recommend ordering all of them 😋 If you're visiting Cork, this place it well worth a visit, but you'll need to book in advance.

01/12/2023: Staff were friendly and attentive. However, the flavour matching left a lot to be desired and wasn't what I have come to expect from restaurant within that price bracket. Honestly I left a bit disappointed. For the starters I had the tartar and my partner had the saffron risotto. The taste of the risotto was incredible but it was unfortunately a little soupy, perhaps this is the restaurants choice but it felt very thin and watery. The tartar however was not good. The beef itself was delicious however it was placed upon a huge portion of soft cheese, which completely overpowered the delicate flavours of the beef as well as ruining the mouth feel. For the main we shared a cote de boeuf, which was tasty and cooked to our preference. However, they had missed some of the sinew, and it was not as tender as I have experienced elsewhere. We also thought it was an odd choice that the side pairing would be three potato paves, considering this is a main designed to be shared between two people. Surely you should either have two larger paves or four paves in order to have equal sharing. Three is an odd number to have between two people. The salad that came with the main was ok on its own but the acidic vinaigrette overpowered the gentle taste of the potato and meat. The bone marrow was delicious however the pesto(?) Topping on it was pointless and again overpowered the flavours of marrow. Nothing felt like it had been tasted together. The dessert was delicious and the highlight of the meal, however even with this it felt like an oversight in the kitchen or perhaps careless preparation. The dessert had caramelised walnuts but unfortunately they were visibly burnt and bitter. Overall we left the restaurant extremely underwhelmed. Considering the price point I would expect higher standards. I have had much much better for less. The attention to detail wasn't there and neither was the presentation or flavour matching. Unfortunately we didn't want to cause a scene in the restaurant but we will not be recommending the glass curtain to anyone.

30/11/2023: The food was amazing and was great to see upscale farm to table done so well!!! Definitely a gem in Cork City Center!

06/12/2023: Simplemente mágico!!! Cada detalle ha hecho que sea una experiencia única. Simplemente es un viaje de sabores indescriptibles desde el primer plato hasta el postre. Cada uno inigualable!! Fragancias, texturas, sabores, colores... Increíble!! Hasta el café y el pan estaban buenísimos!! Quedamos muy satisfechos. La presentación es hermosa pero es que además el trato que nos han dado ha sido maravilloso, siempre con una sonrisa, explicando cada detalle del plato. La cubertería y los platos super limpios. Sin duda ha sido un sueño estar allí. 100% recomendado. Este restaurante y las personas que dan el servicio son brillantes. Y lo más impresionante es que es vegetariano (con opción vegana también)!!!! Lo amé!! **La entrada, tal vez sea un poco angosta para personas en silla de ruedas, pero una vez entras es amplio.

25/11/2023: The most excellent meal I have ever had. Came here for a special occasion and it was exceptional. We had an incredibly attentive and charismatic waiter Steve which made the meal a feast and added more colour to the array of flavours which we tasted. Can't wait to go back to experience more of the creativity of Paradiso

13/11/2023: Beautiful food in a cosy setting with a very nicely-framed view of St Finbarres spire. Portion sizes always bang on, great value. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond, so dedicated and impressive. The plates are presented like works of art and the menu changes seasonally so there's always some new delicious dish to try. The cocktails are also excellent. Great stuff.

30/11/2023: Cosiest pub ever! My friend and I came in for a drink together and squeezed ourselves into the last remaining bar stools. The staff were so so lovely and the vibe and atmosphere was so great. The place was absolutely packed but in a good and friendly way, and the patrons I spoke to while navigating the pub all seemed in very good spirits.

16/11/2023: Sound people,nice spot and great tunes

07/10/2023: My stay at Fernroyd House really made my brief visit to Cork. Avril and Tony were the most excellent and welcoming hosts, who could not do enough for you it really was home from home. I shall hopefully visit again in the New Year and recommend this accomodation whole heartedly it is so clean and comfortable, situated in a very peaceful location next to the University. Excellent.

06/12/2023: Awesome traditional Cork pub. One of the best!

02/12/2023: Great place for traditional music

07/12/2023: Insuperable la experiencia. Fuimos recomendados por la recepcionista de nuestro alojamiento y al ver todos los premios de la entrada, no dudamos en entrar. Comimos la sopa del día y un solomillo de carne irlandesa, que nos sorprendió mucho del sabor que tenia. Volveremos a ir y disfrutar de esta maravilla.

03/12/2023: Been a while since we ate here. Always very busy. Food is lovely, always cooked very well. Portions are thinning a little, maybe cost related. Got a kids meal for a 2 year old, even he was a bit peckish afterwards.

07/12/2023: This is a family run business Johnathon and his sister Kathrin are very welcoming and food is absolutely beautiful.

28/11/2023: Services was great and very fast, we had our breakfast in less than 10 minutes from ordering. Food was great and authentic. Would go back any day!

03/12/2023: Absolutely Super restaurant and lovely friendly staff .Best Thai food I have had outside Thailand

27/11/2023: Our favourite Thai restaurant in Cork. Always enjoy having a meal there. A reservation is recommended as space is limited and they are often booked out. Excellent and knowledgable service and always a great experience.
