Istanbul
Cork
02/02/2026: Love going to instanbul and having their food. Excellent food with quick service. You’ll not be disappointed.
27/01/2026: Had the mixed doner kebab to take away.
Good service, waited a bit long because I didn’t hear the person calling out the order (even though I wasn’t far).
Really good taste with plenty of sauce, a bit messy to eat (you might want to have extra napkins).
Special mention for the paper that doubles as a cover, perfect for this kind of meal.
I recommend 👍

The Briar Rose Bar & Grill

03/01/2026: One of the best places in Cork for me to sit down and drink some beer and eat some food.
Have many good memories here.
31/12/2025: Popped in to watch a match and had a great time! Pints flowing all night, perfect place to watch the game. Cillian in particular kept us well topped up in a friendly yet professional way! Cheers!

Curry Corner
Cork
27/11/2025: Nice and delicious food And Tughal Rashid very smart and sweet man
15/11/2025: Highly recommended to give the curry corner a chance.
Delivers high quality both in taste and service. I visit often and I personally recommend their lamb and chicken dishes. They have all options for naan bread and sea foods too. They also have the fast food options like the burgers doner kebabs which are also a top pick for me.
Only con is that they are only a takeaway shop.

The Leaping Salmon
Cork
04/01/2026: Really poor. Website advertised kitchen open until 9 pm. Tried to place an order at 19.37 to be told that the kitchen closed at 19.30. Despite our group placing an order at 19.26 and pizzas did not arrive until 19.55 they would not accept an order for two pizzas. Stonky behaviour by manager Gary Caughlan who demanded that the kitchen closed. Staff obviously still on site. No incentive to return.
Would definitely not recommend this pub as a place to go to in blackrock
30/12/2025: Met friends here before a Munster game. Lovely old establishment only a short walk from Pairc Ui Chaoimh.
We were able to book a table, have a nice meal And a couple of pints. Staff were friendly, efficient & helpful. A wonderful atmosphere pre game with a friendly crowd. Highly recommend this venue for a pre/post game.

Montenotte Bistro
Cork
25/02/2026: Just back from the most fantastic weekend after staying in the Woodland Suites for two nights. The staff were amazing and could not have been more attentive and friendly. It is pricey but worth it and we both felt very relaxed after such a short space of time. Would highly recommend.
16/02/2026: Quite possibly the best hotel we have stayed in. The service was exceptional from the start. Amazing rooms, comfy bed, sauna and pool. Every person we spoke to couldn't do more for us. Felt like 5 star service. Great food, drinks and breakfast. Cannot recommend highly enough

Mahers Pure Coffee
Cork
04/10/2025: Mahers Pure Coffee is a lovely cafe in the middle of the city. We came in to purchase coffee and equipment. They havewide selection of items for making coffee. They have a lovely coffee selection as well.
We bought their hazelnut coffee, which is super popular. The team was friendly enough...
The smell of coffee is very nice. I could stay there for a good while. It is downtown and central.
They are wheelchair accessible. There is wheelchair accessible parking nearby.
08/09/2025: Such a great selection of coffee. Got set up on a monthly subscription and absolutely love it!!

Brick Lane
Cork
30/01/2026: Cozy place to drink a beer with friends and family.
14/01/2026: Honestly, the food was not great. I ordered a blue cheese burger and the flavour was so weak that I wondered if it just was cooked next to the cheese instead. My brother had the ribs and they were alright, but nothing special.
The staff were nice, friendly and attentive, but I would not recommend for food in Cork.

Salt
Cork
18/12/2025: Amazing cozy place. Great menu and fantastic service. I tried their quesadillas and fries ! It was fantastic. Pink lemonade was also soo good. Ended by meal with the best apple crumble.
11/11/2025: Generous food portions and great service! We visited on a rainy day, so we ended up sitting indoors, but the atmosphere was still lovely. Would love to come back and try the terrace seating next time; it looks like the perfect spot to enjoy a nice meal with a view.
