The best restaurants in Cork city council

17/08/2026: Jordan is the best!! Every time that she attends me, she has a very kind and nice energy🤞😔

16/08/2026: Love all the staff here very good iced coffee and sweet treats. Very cozy atmosphere perfect for studying or chilling out, would definitely recommend 👍

22/09/2026: Brilliant pub, cool bar in the centre of the room, two dart boards, and poker on Thursday nights. Gerry is fantastic and friendly, wish this was my local!

20/05/2026: Cheap stout, great atmosphere. A real locals spot. Recommended for a quiet pint and to get away from the busy soulless places in the city.

09/10/2026: Friendly staff, loads of outdoor space, pints were tasty and the pizza's place that set up there is really good too.

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

07/08/2026: Very good very freindly very tasty smoothies

11/06/2026: Friendly staff, delicious smoothies

08/09/2026: Consistently lovely. Clean, great pastries etc., tasty coffee and the staff are excellent. Friendly and really good at their jobs.

06/09/2026: Great little coffee shop with plenty of options. Staff were suoer friendly too. Highly recommend.

17/05/2026: Pizza was slightly undercooked but the staff, atmosphere and drinks were phenomenal

04/09/2026: It’s the first time I went out for brunch and left the cafe hungry. I’m not a big eater, but for €15 you’d expect the Eggs Benedict to have at least 2 pieces of toast. It was a bit disappointing to be honest. I’d been wanting to try this place for some time now, and probably won’t be back.

17/06/2026: Been going here for years. Lovely produce available to buy, delicious fresh salads, meats and cheeses to buy. Take out fantastic as well as dine in

31/08/2026: Quite a lovely experience. Staff were immaculate, so extremely attentive and friendly from the get go. Our main was out within the first 30 mins of our booking (after devouring the lovely pork belly starter prior). I had the mushroom tagliatelle which was very delicious but extremely cheesy which made me feel quite sick and I couldn't finish it sadly. My partner had the steak which he enjoyed and it did taste amazing. We shared a bottle of wine between us which was gorgeous too! €120 for two mains, a starter and a bottle of wine which isn't too bad! The hotel itself is very classy and the bar area seemed nice and was quite busy on the Friday night so we didn't stop in. The only problem I had with the hotel is that the ladies toilets are a bit old and could use with a refurbishment. Awkward layout and not a lot of cubicles. Overall, I really recommend Helena's! I would come back again on another occasion.

27/08/2026: Staff and vibe great but food poor quality, badly executed and overpriced, light bites in the bar top clase

19/05/2026: I was part of a school reunion here last week. From start to finish we were so well looked after. We had the downstairs lounge to ourselves. Daire was simply outstanding in terms of engagement and service. I am looking forward to a return visit

16/05/2026: Great place to arrange to meet friends

18/08/2026: 1st time ever such an amazing meal in Ireland. Great experience overall -great service -great food /authentic flavour

27/07/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We were family of 8 people, We had a fantastic experience at Coriander Nepalese & Indian Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service made the evening even more special. A special shout-out to Pranav from Mumbai, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and went beyond. His hospitality really made a difference. The Murg Malai Kebab was so juicy, tender, and full of flavour, while the Jumbo Tandoori Prawns were absolutely mouth-watering! 🤤🍤 Everything was delicious, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! ❤️

10/05/2026: Great spot, get coffee here every weekend and the occasional hot chocolate, would recommend.

30/09/2026: Salted Caramel Frappé is actually a milkshake. Super sweet.

21/09/2026: Fantastic staff, great service too. Highly recommended. Great outdoor seating area too.

28/05/2026: Came with a tour bus. Even though they knew we were coming, they were not prepared. The two servers had no idea where to take it. Only options for the pub were pizza or salad.

24/05/2026: Fantastic staff and really nice heritage establishment surrounded by nature. Nothing was too much of an ask and we felt incredibly welcome. Beds were comfy, rooms spacious, clean and appropriately equipped. Would definitely return!
