The best restaurants in Cork city council

15/09/2025: Nice local/neighborhood pub with friendly service.

10/12/2025: Staff are very friendly and helpful 🙂

12/10/2025: Beautiful Cafe with a lovely cosy interior and atmosphere,theres also a Charity Shop next door with some lovely items available and reasonably priced....both the Cafe and Charity Shop support Down Syndrome which is fantastic to support

24/01/2026: Horrible experience found a hair in my food and the manager was so arrogant i was told it was not a hair but a piece of cloth?! Disgusting. Never again.

03/01/2026: Food is as tired as patrons. Owner is nice but he won't have to travel far to seek inspiration. Perfect aranchino is served across the street at KCs. His version is undercooked rice and tasteless blub. Food is mediocre reminiscent of Alitalia airplane offering or Ryanair lasagna. Drinks 🍸 are saving grace here

10/01/2026: Nice breakfast and a decent cuppa. "Possibly the nicest eggs Benedict I've had" said the missus.

12/11/2025: It was such a pleasure to sit at Bedrock Café on a rainy day with a hot cappuccino and a little cookie — it truly lifted my spirits. The atmosphere is so cozy and peaceful; the tables are nicely spaced so you can just relax and enjoy the moment. There’s a lovely rustic charm to the place — the kind that warms your soul and makes you want to stay a little longer. A perfect spot for travelers or anyone who needs a quiet, comforting break. Highly recommended! 🌧☕🍪

12/10/2025: Best coffee cakes in Ireland,, friendly staff,,, put a shop onde South Side please,

03/10/2025: A gem of a spot in Blackpool. Doorstep sandwiches have generous portions, not to mention all the delicious cakes and breads they make in-house. Staff have always been friendly and professional. I always make time to call to Brackens when in the area.

28/09/2025: One of my favorite places to have a lovely coffee and amazing desserts. Staff is always very friendly.

13/09/2025: Server was lovely. But! I got ONE spoon of granola in my açai bowl which was kind of ridiculous. For €10.50 I should be getting at least three spoons. The barista made a great coffee but like price for return is non existent. Could be great as the location is handy and the cafe itself is lovely inside. Potentially a great place, but not quite there.

14/09/2025: lovely spot, needs a bit of cosy added, so many options in line of pastries and savoury food

07/09/2025: €8.95 for a coffee and a scone. Way too expensive. Coffee was nice scone was ok. Got a pastiche de nata also for nearly 4 quid... Really poor left it behind. Staff were really nice.

06/12/2025: I had a really good time. The person who served us was extremely friendly, wearing a cute pink Hello Kitty sweater, and was really helpful with figuring out how to get to the airport. The place is well-decorated and spacious, with lovely fabrics on the sofas and chairs.

23/11/2025: brilliant bar... visited to see the villa game, massive screens, good pints & atmosphere - thanks guys

15/01/2026: Lovely food. Usually good service. Not today though. The girl behind the counter taking orders and money was completely disinterested. No eye contact. No smile. Rude. When you're there to spend almost 20 rag for your munch for breakfast you'd like to feel like you're welcomed to the establishment. Not today. The nose ringed, arm tattooed, gum chewing cashier just didn't make us feel welcomed. That's enough to sway me to never patronise the calf gaff ever again. Shame really. Coz as I say... The food is good. I'm not gonna be made feel like an unwanted customer though. Unwanted? Fair enough. They're not getting my service again. Bye bye.

23/11/2025: I had a craving for a good toastie all week and I immediately thought of De Calf. Toastie is excellent. Nice coffee. Friendly and efficient service. Warm atmosphere.

16/01/2026: Delicious food, v friendly staff, cosy spot. Stopped in here last Saturday evening and had the best food. Super tasty vegan tofu satay and vegetable spring rolls. The caramel slice is super tasty too. They also serve Palestine cola which I absolutely was delighted to see and ordered. Will definitely be back to try some more of the dishes 😋

06/12/2025: Tried the crispy chilli beef. Very tasty and crispy as the name suggested. I am sure the other menus are great as well. Friendly staff, they even gave us two bottle iced teas on the house. They even sell separate paste such as sambal and rendang paste. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good Malaysian food around cork. They have another branch in Kinsale. Halal meat and vegan alternatives are offered. Their food are still good even after 4 years since I last had them. Highly recommend the crispy chilli beef. The staff were very friendly

05/11/2025: Ordered a coffee and a sausage roll, but after waiting 25 minutes, I still hadn't gotten the sausage roll. I then had to join the very slow moving queue to reorder the item which I had already paid for. When I finally reached the top of the queue, I was met with attitude from the person behind the counter, and was offered no apology. I then had a lukewarm microwaved sausage roll and a cold coffee for which I paid over €8.

05/11/2025: Excellent coffee with beans from all over the world, from Ethiopia to Colombia. If you're looking for a great speciality coffee, this is the place for you. If you want to have a coffee, read a good book or write, this is also a great place. A coffee shop for everyone in Cork.

10/01/2026: Tastiest food ever!! Had it two years ago, came back hoping it would taste as good! Tasted even better !!!!!

06/01/2026: Got a nice mixed kebab rap but €13.50 for a wrap on its own is pricy

29/12/2025: Great place where I like to spend time with my friends and family.

16/12/2025: Great run - karaoke and other games we had a great time.

29/10/2025: I usually go to this place after doctors.

02/10/2025: Came here on a busy day when they were really understaffed. The staff were so lovely and patient with everyone even though they were clearly stressed. Very impressed

07/09/2025: Great location A must visit on the marina does not do food, just a few snacks Take away service beautiful location

14/07/2025: The best coffee we have had since our trip back from Melbourne. Highly recommend
