The best restaurants in Cork city council

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.

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!!

29/12/2025: Food was lovely. I had the eggs Benedict. Service was excellent. Staff is lovely in there. Upstairs atmosphere not great but it might just have been the time of day.

13/12/2025: We attended to Bookshelf last night for our staff Christmas party and I could not compliment it enough! From my initial enquiry to paying the bill last night Paul and his team were brilliant, they were extremely accommodating, efficient and the food was sensational. It’s great to see the food scene in Cork thriving and the bookshelf have always been brilliant at what they do and last night was no different. This venue was perfect for a private hire for and definitely a hidden gem.

30/10/2025: Been ordering from here for nearly 10 years. Never a mishap and never disappointed. Chef recommendations are top notch, fast and pleasant delivery. Really can't recommend them enough.

25/08/2025: Wow, seriously the best Chinese food we've ever had. Ordered the Thai crispy beef, crispy shredded chicken in honey sauce and the sweet & sour pork - all absolutely delicious. Don't normally write reviews but this is an awesome family run restaurant and they deserve all the success.

17/07/2025: This is the place to be for any Celtic fan, especially visiting after a match. The atmosphere, music and vibe was all on point.

16/07/2025: Was uber busy so the service was slow, but the music and atmosphere was magic. Real authentic Irish pub

28/10/2025: Brilliant pub, proper bar with great music and sports in offer. Staff are excellent.

28/09/2025: Great pub for a smashing pint of stout and reasonable on the edge of cork city.

29/12/2025: One of my favourite bars in the city - especially upstairs! Such a vibe here (quite small though so definitely for groups under 4)

24/12/2025: Welcome to Brick Lane pub, a cosy and beautiful place to grab a drink and unwind. Brick Lane in Cork is a lively, stylish spot with a great atmosphere that feels both relaxed and vibrant. It’s known for generous portions, well-cooked food, and friendly service, making it perfect for a casual meal with friends or a night out. The menu offers comforting classics done well, and the warm pub-style setting makes it a place you’ll want to come back to. I chose the grilled steak with pepper sauce and chips, and it was delicious! I highly recommend this place for its comfort and the friendly vibe of the staff.

13/11/2025: The worst fish and chips I had in Cork. Just big slice of fish, no lemon, black pepper, some parts too thick. Overal tasteless experience.

03/11/2025: The loveliest girl found my scarf and gave it to me even after serving so many people all night!! What a star!!

18/09/2025: Nice bar 👍 and they'll give you bags of chips 😋 cool

20/10/2025: I bought a baguette with hot chicken this morning and the chicken was like a shoe sole, it was probably three days old and the baguette is also dry, disgusting! Considering the class of the store and the prices, I thought the food was of a high standard and fresh, big mistake, I will definitely not go back there.

16/10/2025: Cleanest premises ever .. food from the deli is outstanding. All staff are lovely to be with and it's always busy..

16/12/2025: Great place, go everytime I'm in Cork. Also dog friendly

02/12/2025: I’m reluctant to leave a good review because it means that it will get more popular! This was my first visit but it won’t be my last. I had coffee and French toast with maple syrup and bacon. The French toast was yummy, with a lovely hit of cinnamon, good maple syrup accompanied by crispy, streaky bacon. The service is friendly and efficient and the space is cosy. A definite five stars.

30/09/2025: Creamy pints midweek. Great atmosphere, and service.

12/08/2025: Staff are chill and the outdoor area is nice without being pretentious

15/08/2025: Hands down best fried rice I’ve had in cork
