The best restaurants in Cork city council

27/11/2025: (Traducido por Google) Uno de los mejores cafés de la ciudad. (Original) One of the best coffees in town

25/11/2025: A pleasant and intimate atmosphere at this cafe, which offers substantial breakfasts. Generous portions with fresh ingredients. The wait for your food isn't long, but because the place is small, there might not be enough room to eat inside. I recommend it.

08/09/2025: Brilliant venue for a small gig It was my first time at this venue and it won't be my last. Monitors where you can't see the performers. Seating is limited so get in early if you're an old fella like me.€6.50 for a pint bottle of Bullmers is very fair for a City centre venue. The only thing I found strange was a plastic container with a glass bottle, But that's venue drinking for you. Definitely highly recommend 💯

30/08/2025: Good venue that gets a good selection/mix of bands. Just saw the lemonheads recently and have seen Mudhoney, Frank Turner, Bob Mould, Buzzco ks, Jello Biafra and many more over the years. Since a makeover the new sound system is much improved from when I first started going in the 90's.

22/02/2025: Lovely Food, Atmosphere and Friendly, Helpful Staff 😀

03/02/2025: Love this place staff are super nice great place for a catch up and a coffee food is lovely

30/12/2025: There hardly any parking spots due to local people park and use gym and pool. I have rented the apartments and very loud music coming from the bar that is up over the apartments and next to it. Until midnight.

28/12/2025: I've stayed in a lot of 4 star hotels, and truly, The Montenotte blows the rest out of the water. I actually did not want to go home after two nights away here, I was so relaxed and comfortable. The service from the lovely staff, the food, and the amenities are second to none. We had dinner for our engagement anniversary and it tasted absolutely amazing - food we had elsewhere on the second night seemed so bland by comparison. The drinks and cocktails were delightful also in The Glasshouse and the live music in both the restaurant and bar makes it truly special. Breakfast was amazing - an excellent continental selection for making a yoghurt and berry bowl with seeds and nuts, a huge selection of cooked food, and eggs cooked to order. Liked the coffee also, both in the room and at the restaurant. The pool and amenities were very quiet and spacious - as a person who wanted some quiet time, this was amazing to not be struggling for personal space. Loved the free cinema each night; a special treat. The gardens are very tranquil with interesting sculptures and beautiful to look out on from the balconies. I will certainly be back again soon. Worth every cent!

09/11/2025: Very good supermarket, lots of variety of takeaway food, friendly employees.

07/11/2025: Great choice of food, great for lunches, plenty of parking outside. Good value lunch options However, they have those self check out booths!! Bring back the staff!!!

24/10/2025: Lovely pub, under 5€ per pint of Heineken

09/12/2025: Very friendly staff, foods tasty and clean

29/11/2025: One of the waiters looked at me at the entrance and told his manager that I am a hillbilly before even I started talking to them, and they together laughed at me. Bad attitude of the waiter and manager totally distupts this place. 29.11.2025 1:30pm

21/12/2025: Loved the dinosaur exhibit, colouring and things for kids on next level and very friendly staff, lovely cafe too

18/11/2025: Great little museum. Plenty of folk art. Beautiful walk to and from. Very quiet, peaceful, and respectful vibes.

02/01/2026: Dark, mellow, rowdy with craic. Heaven and home all at once

15/12/2025: Good for live music, but a bit on the small size

22/08/2025: shocking standards Since they closing down, raw chips , chicken burger dead dry and black inside meet , chicken wings black inside absolutely disgusting

10/08/2025: Visited Route Fourteen with my family for lunch. The food was great, the dining area was spacious, but I have a few points I hope can be considered to improve the service. There were two lunch menus on our visit: one standard lunch menu (same as website) and one specific for the day or week. We ordered from the second menu since they seemed seasonal and more fresh than the regular menu. The prices were similar to other gastropubs around Cork City. I ordered pork belly with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The pork was stuffed with walnuts and dates, a stuffing I would have never thought would taste so nice with pork. Other dishes we had were the "Smash Burger" and Reuben sandwich. We ordered chicken wings with buffalo sauce for starters. Everybody enjoyed their orders but the beef in the Reuben would be better if it was not heated much. For dessert we had a mango and raspberry cheesecake and lemon meringue. Both were presented nicely and tasted amazing. They are best eaten between two people as they are large desserts. We were seated at a bright high table by the window, however we were near a large private booking and I felt a bit under pressure as the staff were setting the tables around us for the arriving diners. Given that the venue was not busy when we arrived, I would have preferred sitting further away from the large group booking. I would highly recommend visiting Route Fourteen on your next day out for lunch or dinner at a gastropub.

30/10/2025: Update: I made payment for soaps and my money was refunded to me. No reason was given, no response to my message. It may be because of my last review but this experience was worse than the last time. I made payment of the 3rd of October, 2025. The customer care service and response needs to be worked on. More information about delivery(delivery company) used too needs to be given to the client or updated on your website/whatsapp welcome message. I had a terrible experience of being ignored without any update from the person I was chatting with. When I complained the message I got was such a terrible message, where the person responded like she was doing me a favour. You really need to do better. About the product I ordered, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the product I got it. It was exactly what I wanted. It was original, especially since a lot of fakes are in circulation and the price was the best price I saw anywhere. I hope in future I can get more of the product I got and be able to edit/update this review to more favourable experience.

23/10/2025: Amazing afro food shop with the most helpful staff that go above and beyond to help you with what you need.

23/12/2025: Mini golf was the opposite of horrible dont change it or else 1 star from me :D The cheese sauce is too cheesy and too thick The bowling 10/10 no notes. But please change the intro when it says how many pins you hit on the tv please .they didn’t make sense at all. From Julie and her nephew Max. :)

23/12/2025: Our third time to Airtastic - always a hit for our now 11 year old. The bounce park has a decent setup, nice viewing area, solid refreshment stand and connects indoors to the adjacent arcade and bowling. The arcade is a bit worn, a few games weren't working or were glitchy which was disappointing, but still had fun.

29/12/2025: Great place where I like to spend time with my friends and family.

16/12/2025: Great run - karaoke and other games we had a great time.
