The best restaurants in Cork city council

22/07/2026: Excellent spot. Very deceiving. Very welcoming

07/08/2026: Food is well priced and excellent. Bonus if you eat or drink outside, you get the brilliant music from the fountain pub which is well worth a visit.

06/08/2026: We saw this bar while we were shopping in Cork & I'm very glas we did. The lady who seated us was very helpful. The food was lovely. I had ciabatta chicken which was lovely. Although highly recommended

04/08/2026: Will definitely be back. A large group of us, service was excellent and food was great.

02/08/2026: We went to have a snack. We shared a large dish of mussels and a pizza which were superb. We then shared the salmón dish on rice - also superb. The water provided was also excellent. Staff were patient and pleasant. The only Black Mark was the appalling state of the Gents loo.....

09/07/2026: Lovely staff, beautiful spot for a coffee. Gluten free bread for sandwiches

16/06/2026: Lovely café with friendly service. We wandered around for ages trying to find it. Please put up a big sign on the road 😊

06/08/2026: The food was plentiful and delicious. The value for money is excellent. The staff is very friendly.

03/08/2026: Very nice Chinese restaurant, food is authentic, a lot of choice, highly recommend

08/08/2026: We had a great stay in Talbot hotel. The room is spacious and very comfortable and had a great shower. Specially the hotel has non feather rooms and an air conditioner in the room’s. If the price is right we will definitely come back to stay again.

29/06/2026: Great experience at the Talbot. My wife and I stayed there for a gig at Virgin Media park. It wasn't quite a close as I thought but the hotel was really nice and the staff couldn't have been nicer or more responsive.

25/07/2026: It was our first stop in Cork. Cheap and a great atmosphere.

07/07/2026: The service was wonderful, so much so that we went back. The first time we went in the late afternoon and enjoyed live Irish folk music. The second time was around 1 p.m., and we enjoyed a much more relaxed atmosphere with The Pogues playing in the background and some excellent local stouts, Beamish and Murphy's. If I return to this city, I will definitely go back.

24/08/2026: Good vibes and good food. Will be coming here more often!

13/08/2026: Great breakfast, great coffee and great staff.

30/08/2026: Food was lovely and a good selection. Unfortunately the service wasn't great. Yes, we were sitting outside but the restaurant wasn't very busy. Nearly 30mins for empty plates to be taken. We had to go in and order our desserts as we weren't sure how long we would be left waiting

30/08/2026: A nice Italian restaurant with good pasta and very friendly service. You can choose to sit either indoors or outside.

31/07/2026: If you are a wheelchair user or have any sensory disability like vision loss you can forget this place. It doesn't matter how good the food is if it's not inclusive. Cork needs better accessibility to businesses for disabled people.

31/07/2026: Great food,cheap and quick service 10/10

12/04/2026: Absolutely blown away by the cake Karolina made for my wife's 40th. She managed to pull this together at short notice, and the quality is outstanding—it looks like a work of art. Fantastic service and a talented baker. Will definitely be ordering again!

18/08/2026: This was our second time meeting here for a large family birthday celebration. Both times they managed unexpected extra people easily and professionally and gave us great space to move around. The atmosphere is busy for Saturday lunch but in a fun enjoyable way. Service is very nice and pleasant but there was a bit of a wait between courses, especially desert. In saying that they made a lovely birthday version of my sisters desert and all the servers got together to sing Happy Birthday which she loved. Food is hot, generous and delicious with a bit of traditional, a bit of Indian, a bit of Italian as well as burgers etc etc I think I had the nicest cheesecake I have ever eaten ( and I’ve had a fair few!) with their white chocolate and raspberry on a Biscoff base - I was sorry I hadn’t asked for a doggy bag for next day! You won’t be disappointed.

09/08/2026: Really good quality food. Presentation of some dishes were not great but all food was really good. Would definitely return.

31/08/2026: I'm very satisfied because my partner and I went for lunch and I ordered salmon without specifying that I'm lactose intolerant. When the dish arrived, I immediately realized my mistake because it was a cream sauce and I couldn't eat it. I explained this to the waitress, and she promptly offered me another salmon dish and asked how I wanted it prepared and what side dish I'd like. The new dish they served was delicious, perfectly cooked with vegetables and fries; in short, I loved it. The manager came to ask if everything was alright. Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and all the attention we received. We'll be back soon.

30/08/2026: Fantastic spot staff are amazing and accommodating, food is fabulous highly recommend

09/07/2026: I like this place. Friendly welcoming staff. Plenty of room. I didn't try the food in here so I can't comment on that

24/05/2026: Lads take down the Christmas decorations it's May

13/07/2026: There are many great sandwich options! The service is super fast and polite. There are a few (very few) places to sit at the counter and eat there if you want. I recommend it!

19/06/2026: Very good smoked chicken salad sandwich!
