The best restaurants in Cork city council

02/07/2026: Solid place for a bite to eat but the friendly and professional staff made the experience even better.

21/06/2026: The service is incredibly friendly, attentive, and quick, and the food is simply delicious! Truly fantastic... the shrimp were cooked to perfection, the pesto tasted homemade... we really can't find a single thing to complain about! There was even a great selection for vegans!

28/07/2026: Some of the best curry chips and kebabs in town

25/07/2026: Lana is the star of the show ⭐🥰

13/05/2026: Delicious food. We went two days in a row, had different foods each time, and everything was delicious! They have great options for gluten free GF, too. Highly recommend!

13/05/2026: A busy restaurant, and therefore perhaps a bit overcrowded inside. But I wasn't bothered by other guests. I had the sirloin steak, which was fine. The accompanying vegetables didn't appeal to me as much, but that is a matter of personal taste. In short, the restaurant is worth a visit.

10/07/2026: Very cozy pub in the outskirts of Cork, definitely worth a visit

16/06/2026: We had a funeral here and the staff were so friendly and obliging. The soup and sandwiches were lovely.

10/04/2026: All good as always. Lovely spot foe your breakfast.

02/04/2026: They serve delicious breakfasts, good coffee, and pastries. Friendly service. I recommend them.

12/07/2026: Myself and my partner were in cork for the night travelling from Galway, we had wanted to go to a pub with a traditional feel to it. When we got to the end of the bar, I had went make an order for two drinks when the bar man on last night Saturday the 11th of July, gestured with his hand that we were cut off. To my shock I looked to my partner and then in confusion I went to order again. And he done the same. We left the bar and I asked the security guy what the bar man's issue was and he also couldn't understand what I was saying. If it's a case of mistaken identity then at least have the respect to speak to people or explain. 100s of people pass through your bar. 0 Stars!!!!

15/06/2026: My niece and I had a wonderful time. The locals were very kind to us. Enjoyed the banter and felt very comfortable. Juke box was great. Bartender was a great host. God willing It will be a first stop when we go back.

23/06/2026: A bit pricy. Nice place for a coffee in town. Sandwiches are about €14 @ but come with a bit of crisps that's all

09/06/2026: Was great, nice coffee, always live buskers on the corner, very pleasant

20/07/2026: Very good chocolates to accompany coffee.

16/07/2026: We’ve tried the chocolates from several different places and this was our favorite both in terms of taste and value. We particularly loved the passion fruit and our son who prefers white chocolate loved the nice variety there. And at .70 each they’re a steal

27/12/2025: The best spot in Cork City to get good quality coffee

09/06/2026: Great coffee and food. Well worth a visit.

18/04/2026: Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Nice little walk to Blarney Castle grounds. Several places to eat within walking distance. Highly recommend!!

10/04/2026: Beautiful hotel, just a short walk from blarney castle, we had a gorgeous and fantastic service from the majority of the staff, the showers could’ve been a bit hotter and some areas could have done with some extra dusting but, the food was tasty and the portions were generous and the beds were so comfortable I could barely get out of bed in morning!

18/05/2026: Great bar, staff lovely, fantastic atmosphere, plenty of seating, perfect for watching that match as loads of tvs and while I was there a spontaneous music session started It was great

13/05/2026: Great Pints. Awesome staff and Owners, so you are always looked after.

13/06/2026: Very good japanese restaurant, one of the best i ever been in. The service was fast.

09/06/2026: Open hours online are not correct, they open at 4 and was told by the staff they do not do takeaway before then

16/06/2026: Only heard about this on the "Yay Cork" website. Subsequently found out it was the old Quin Ryan local pub in a previous life. Decent beer garden out back and you can order pizza from a place a few doors up and eat it in the pub.

25/05/2026: The place to be on a sunny day in Cork

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.
