The best restaurants in Cork city council

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

30/11/2025: Had a lovely impromptu dinner date here. Food was delicious and well priced. Small internal seating area and though tables are close together, we felt it was still private enough. Service brilliant and staff very friendly.

29/11/2025: We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. We originally booked a table for four, but since we ended up being five, the staff went out of their way to arrange a larger table for us without any trouble. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the team was incredibly attentive and friendly. We truly appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Highly recommended!

27/12/2025: Great pub kind staff amazing stew but there was no live music at 2 on weekends as advertised. I just want to hear some traditional Irish music while I have a pint

12/12/2025: I have just had a fantastic experience here for lunch with my Mother. We arrived without a booking, and, were welcomed and accommodated straight away, with a genuine warm greeting. A great selection of food, from starters, to mains, to nibbles. The drinks menu is fairly extensive also!! I went for the chicken Cesar salad, and, a Murphy's....... Both were nothing shy of perfection! 👌 My Mother had the goats cheese salad with walnuts and pear...... It looked great!!...... I can't comment on how nice it was, but, I can tell you this, she didn't want to share!! ☺️ Vitoria, our server, was just n point, and efficient across the board! A great smile, and approach. Thanks to the team, and, Vitoria. Well done guys!! I definitely will be back, and, I definitely would recommend!! Great value, and quality all round.

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! 🌧☕🍪

08/10/2025: Small, quaint shop with excellent food and friendly staff! I had the Nutella banana pancakes and my husband Breakfast nap sandwich. Both were delicious!! We also had the raspberry almond cake. Tea and coffee were great. Reasonably priced and food was super fresh! A must see!

05/09/2025: We recently ordered a sandwich platter for 15 people from the Floury Apron. They were absolutely top quality and we had a great mix of fillings in ciabatta , foccacia, wraps and slice pan. Caroline was very attentive via email and followed up afterwards to make sure we were happy with our order. Food, service and value were all 10/10. Would 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.

26/10/2025: I would consider myself a regular customer of the claddagh restaurant and what makes me a "regular customer " is simple. Quality. Quality food, quality service. I have sampled virtually every choice on the menu over the past few years and have never left disappointed. As they say in sporting circles, " form is temporary, class is permanent ". BTW, im not connected with management, staff, in any way other than a relationship built on wonderful dining experiences. My wife and I love the place and will continue to tell anyone with ears about the claddagh restaurant.

16/10/2025: Dropped into the Claddagh after seeing a few “decent” reviews. We arrived just after opening, yet three dishes on the menu were already unavailable — not a great start. “The best fish & chips in Blarney”… Bold claim. I had to see for myself. The verdict? This title could only be accurate under two circumstances: 1. The Claddagh is the only place serving fish in Blarney. 2. The claim is quietly revised to “best fish goujon” — because what arrived was a tiny portion that under the right lighting, could have been mistaken for a length of dental floss. To make matters worse, the peas listed on the menu were missing entirely. I’d normally raise this with staff, but by the time I noticed, the meagre 2–3 bites of fish had already vanished. At least the little that was served seemed fresh and was decently cooked. Meanwhile, the Asian/Chinese options looked suspiciously like they’d wandered in from the Chinese restaurant next door. My girlfriend’s chilli chicken was significantly better than my “fish & chips” and actually resembled a meal. In short: don’t come here for the fish. If you do venture in, stick to the Asian dishes. Otherwise, save yourself the disappointment.

26/06/2025: This gentleman can easily make a difference in this world .Gentle polite and charming . Well done I am involved in hospitality industry the last 21 years and I can say easily that this Gentleman can be teaching the young generation how to treat and respect people .

30/04/2025: Such a wonderful Café, the staff is lovely and the food is too. With all the trees and flowers it's just beautiful to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine with a coffee.

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.

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.

08/07/2025: The worst tiramisu I have ever had. The layer didn't go well. I felt more like eating a dry tiramisu with not properly layered with cream. And the coffee powder sprinkling was so bad. They use the same base for both biscoff and tiramisu.

03/07/2025: Absolutely amazing! Huge portions at a very low price, full of flavour and protein. One sandwich can feed a starving man! Friendly staff and great service in French Tacos– truly impressed. 🌟

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.
