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.

09/06/2026: One of the better Costas. Lots of varied seating and plenty free parking, + a drive through. Service is the usual "robot" from these franchises. €7 for a nice warm scone with butter/jam/cream and flat white in a proper cup. Worth a visit There is a semi-outdoor space with seating for smokers

24/02/2026: Great place for coffee and treats

22/10/2026: Sometimes the best finds are those unplanned and stumbled upon by accident. We were actually headed to another coffee shop in the city that we’d earmarked whilst on a day trip on holiday. But we passed this place and I noticed the choice of pour overs and U turned - glad we stopped as the coffee choices, skill and quality was top class. Would return if in the city again and definitely recommend! Dog friendly too :) 🐶

18/10/2026: Only complaint is that they open late on Sunday. Best batch brew in the city.

23/08/2026: replaced the crispy wonton wrappers with cold pringles and started skimping on the mung bean paste :(

21/08/2026: Lovely real people with really nice spice baggggsss Fair prices

25/08/2026: A small café well worth a visit: friendly service, great coffee; delicious pastries (perhaps a little too sweet). I'd gladly come again! Thank you!

24/07/2026: Been a regular at Filter with over 10 years, always superb coffee and fantastic, friendly staff. Always look forward to popping in for my daily caffeine fix and chats with the staff. Big shout out to Caoimhe

25/08/2026: Bit of a trip up the hill but worth it. Small tucked away pub but lively for a Sunday. Coors Light pouring plentifully and the Beamish was top. Cash/Card, seemed to prefer cash. Didn't get a chance to explore rest of the pub, just perched at the bar and watched the sports. Friendly service, enjoyed it.

11/08/2026: Great bar for a quiet pint or three

07/08/2026: I ordered the frittata which was cold after waiting ages I asked to have it heated up and it was still barely warm. It's a lovely place delicious food but the wait is very long when busy. Lady at the counter very nice. I wish they did coffee ☕️ top ups as coffee cups are small. Love the variety of delicious food + nice wee shop there.🌻

13/07/2026: Food is excellent, staff can be overwhelmed if a bit disconnected from customers as it's a very busy spot

01/10/2026: Plunger(filter coffee in 🚰)cup and milk.

16/08/2026: Fantastic evening thanks to Rowan! I love this pub, but tonight it was magical!!!!

05/10/2026: Placed a phone in order yesterday was never put on til I arrived as they didn’t have quarter pounders so was given a double burger . Had only one type of burger No quarter pounders no battered sausages Some form of sweet and sour sauce on as ketchup Will not be returning 3 burgers, portion or cocktail sausages , 2 chips and carton of curry €43.50 I understand it’s a franchise but this is not apache take away It’s an Indian take away Avoid !

30/09/2026: Mr sir serving food very good service

19/09/2026: Booked here for my friends birthday! The staff were absolutely amazing to us - especially Keelin (hopefully spelt right 😬) Who was so sweet, caring and respectful to us! Really made us comfortable and was so polite with us having a few birthday bunting up and bits! Food was delicious and super fresh. Especially the Chicken wings and the pulled pork nachos were a favourite! Definitely recommend for a date night / party venue or anything in between!

07/09/2026: Great experience. An unbeatable place if you want to watch football. My only complaint is that one of the waiters spoke Spanish and refused to serve me in that language; however, we were able to communicate with others without any problems. Good value for money and a nice atmosphere.

11/09/2026: Service was great, girls who served were lovely.. However, unfortunately the Brownie and caramel slice didn’t taste very nice. Very rare that I wouldn’t finish a brownie! Matcha not good either. Maybe just us! 🤷‍♂️

07/08/2026: I ordered my drink matcha with oat milk at the window. I then went for a walk along the Lee Fields. The team is super friendly, fast, and ontop of everything. . The matcha is outstanding as well as their snacks. We have been enjoying their new Matcha lineup as well. Ice matcha yum!!! Definitely visit here and go for a walk along River Lee. Great place for dogs and other pets. Just remember to keep them on a leed. It is wheelchair accessible. There is outdoor seating area and cabins to get out of the rain or sun.

05/09/2026: Had a wonderful anniversary meal there , the staff were very accommodating to my requests and the food was excellent and the portions generous. Beautiful setting

12/08/2026: Food was not worth the price. 6 in group including 2 children. 10% service charge added at the end. This was not clearly highlighted and was ridiculous.
