The best restaurants in Cork city council

01/07/2026: Beautiful, old style proper pub. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

30/05/2026: This is a great bar. Well worth a visit, cash only.

08/04/2026: It's ashame this pub is closing tonight because it is one of the nicest pubs in Cork City the food i had was perfect Heineken zero beautiful. Ok the service wasn't the best tonight but i guess that was to be expected with staff loosing there jobs. The pub was busy they were short staff. I really hope someone buys this pub. It has serious potential. Anytime i walked past this place it was busy it just needs to new ownership and management train new staff the food is perfect.

05/03/2026: Lovely restaurant! Great brunch!! Good dinner! Great cocktails

25/02/2026: Amazing drinks, fantastic vibe and ambiance, friendly bartenders! Nice quiet place for cocktails that are creative and delicious!

23/02/2026: Excellent cocktails in a vintage setting - very cute for a date night! No negatives, but it does get busy so go early!

27/11/2025: First class food. Amazing service. Definitely worth a return visit.

21/11/2025: We had the pleasure of dining at 51 Cornmarket tonight, and the entire experience was world-class, especially the service. We were running significantly late due to unforeseen circumstances, but the owner, Anne, was absolutely fantastic and incredibly accommodating. ​Anne stayed in close contact with us while we were en route, kindly sent us the menu ahead of time, and even took our order so the kitchen could prepare our meal while we traveled. This level of communication and care is truly rare and saved our evening! ​Once we arrived, the setting and atmosphere were warm, intimate, and absolutely on point. The food was nothing short of fantastic—every dish was delicious. The wine selection was also superb. ​Thank you, Anne, and the entire team at 51 Cornmarket, for turning a stressful evening into a wonderful dining experience. Highly, highly recommend!

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

11/05/2026: Lovely restaurant with a great choice of excellent food. Never lets you down. Best of book of thinking of reading during peak times. Friendly staff and very clean restaurant.

03/05/2026: Got the lunchtime menu, ordered the garlic mushrooms, and the smash burger. I was disappointed- the breading of the mushrooms tasted like they were cooked in bad oil, and the burger, although tasty, was more like a slider rather than a smash patty, also wedges with burger was like warm

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.

10/03/2026: Good food good service everyday going there to take away chicken satay

17/02/2026: amazing food and customer service! spicy bag!!!!😛👍🏻

24/12/2025: Awesome tacos and great drinks at Black Dog Tacos! One of the few places in town where you can get really good quality tacos — fresh, flavorful, and packed with tasty ingredients. The drinks are just as good, with a nice selection that goes perfectly with the food. The vibe is fun and relaxed, and the staff are welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot if you’re craving tacos and a great drink in Cork! 🌮🍹

23/12/2025: Amazing food and incredible music.

01/06/2026: A bit dated, but we were only there to sleep. The staff were always incredibly friendly, but the food in the restaurant was very mysterious, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and helpless for many people. Breakfast had everything you could need. Would gladly stay again.

31/05/2026: I cannot speak more highly of Vijay. He was so obliging with caring for our athletes staying in the the hotel. Supplied us with ice with no issue. We arrived back late & we were never felt unwelcome he was a very good host. He was managing the bar on his own & we were never made to feel nuisance.

11/07/2026: Good selection of vegetarian food ..

08/07/2026: Nope letting people in 7mins before close is a disgrace. This is a great shop shame the security are rude

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

20/05/2026: Very tasty food from a menu with dishes uncommon elsewhere. I have been here now several times and the food has always been tasty, the staff friendly and helpful. Parking can be tricky, but a location worth visiting.

15/04/2026: Excellent service. Great coffee, comfortable setting, staff are very friendly and helpful.

08/02/2026: Great Staff Great Coffee Great Food

17/06/2026: Zero stars if I could!!! I ordered through deliveroo and the pasta - which did not have cheese on the ingredients list!! - came with cheese on it. The restaurant was not willing to help solve the matter at all! So I ended up paying twice! Even more with the service fee! Unbelievable! Never ever order food here! And the restaurant is responsible for the ingredients listed on the deliveroo Website!

31/05/2026: This is the best restaurant I’ve been to in Cork so far, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious

11/06/2026: Friendly staff, delicious smoothies
