The best restaurants in Cork city council

26/02/2026: Excelente!! Highly recommended!!

25/02/2026: My first time trying Lebanese food and it was a nice experience. The food was fresh and filling. Staff were so attentive and friendly. I had a cocktail which was delicious and priced very well. Overall, so worth a visit here. Will be back.

08/02/2026: We just loved our stay here. Everything and everyone were so nice to deal with. Rooms were amazing, food and drinks in the pub great. We would not hesitate to return.

07/02/2026: The food was so bad.. Large portion wings 7 or 8 small wings also the bule cheese the worst. Whi the hell is the chef there? Very vinegary and no blue cheese taste at all. I did told to the server but she bring the same thing.. come on guys do you want me to teach you how to make blue cheese sauce? Otherwise the place looks ok but the kitchen need attention for sure. Owner please take time to taste bule cheese. Thanks.

26/12/2025: Food terrible, frozen soup not fresh, slow service, dry bread , expired muffin . Terrible, highly NOT recommend it, avoid this place at all cost.

04/12/2025: The guy who runs this restaurant does a great job!

16/01/2026: Excellent all-day breakfast menu. Highly recommend. Great food and lovely service

14/01/2026: Unreal food staff unreal couldn't get better

25/02/2026: Been away for a few months. Popped into the elm tree for Sunday lunch. Just as good as all ways, still good value, food still great except the roast potatoes, just too crispy.

18/02/2026: You cannot fault the food but we were in on a busy night and it was over and hour and 20 for dinner to come out. This is the 2nd time this has happened. I think it's too many covers for the size of the kitchen. Saying that the food is worth a wait just not that long. Everyone really enjoyed their food.

20/02/2026: Waited an hour for food to be served. The food then came out wrong for my meal which I sent back. Infairness they cooked a fresh one but by the time it was ready everyone I was with was ready to go. We payed but the waitress called us back and double charged us.

20/02/2026: Something for everyone. Great Irish fare, prompt, cheerful service; lively but not crazy. The place was cooking.

21/02/2026: Amazing gem of a place. Food is so authentic and delicious. Will 100% return

18/02/2026: Food was only ok but we ordered takeaway for 7pm, a few hours in advance, we arrived to collect it and were waiting half an hour. People kept arriving after us who had clearly ordered for later times and getting their food. I asked a number of times and was told they were busy. When we finally got our food, the order was wrong so we had to wait another 15 mins to get it corrected, by which time the other food was nearly cold. And then the food wasn't even that good, it was only ok. Update: The owner rang the next day to apologise and give me a €30 voucher.

11/02/2026: How good is the food worth the wait both times. Great staff

09/02/2026: Best atmosphere and service . The menu is wide and accommodated gluten free, vegetarian and meant lovers. Brownie is excellent with ice cream, though a bit more chocolate sauce would elevate it. Burgers are great with plenty of vegetarian options, and chip portions are generous. Starters, especially the paneer, are delicious. Chicken burgers is juicy and loaded.

17/10/2025: I was having breakfast this morning, I order eggs Benedict, and I think the rashers were cooked the last year. Be careful with the ingredients guys.. it's really annoying.

16/10/2025: Lovely atmosphere. Street side seating also.

14/10/2025: Old Rustic bar in South Main Street, the City Center of Cork. Across from the old Beamish and Crawford Brewary, there's a lot of history in the area. There's a younger crowd frequenting it now, and they have some seating outside. The staff are nice as is the atmosphere.

07/10/2025: Nice pub. Good music. Not the best beer selection. Used to have real candles on each table with wax spilling over the bottle they were in, now changed for fake candles. It's a pity, it was part of what made it a cosy pub.

01/01/2026: Friendly local pub, Great pint of Beamish, a good age mix here, well worth a visit.

29/11/2025: Lovely bar...calm, quiet relaxing.

20/01/2026: Had evening meal on a Tuesday evening. Brilliant food, quick service and reasonable. Had starter between 3, 3 mains, 2 deserts and 3 coffees and all came to just shy of €100. Would definitely come back.

05/01/2026: Steak alfredo was excellent, cost to quality ratio is still on par, 17.50 for the dish but in fairness I felt it was worth it. Alot of places you feel you didn't get value but I can't say that here

24/12/2025: First time trying out Golden fry, ordered food for the whole family, and no one was disappointed! Really good address, I recommend them 100%

21/10/2025: Working in Cork and heard about this old school chippy and up there with the best. Lived up to its reputation, unreal lads 👏

10/11/2025: I created a video of our visit to Nano Nagle Convent. To see a complete review of our visit to this tourist attraction search on YouTube for "@travellingtourist Nano Nagle Convent”

07/11/2025: Fascinating visit, we now know the difference between a class 1, 2 and 3 relic! Thanks Tatiana for bringing it to life for us.

25/10/2025: Owner stole my seat while gone to get drinks for me and a friend and threatened to kick us out if we didn't comply. Don't come here on a busy night.

23/10/2025: Pint in the morning top quality Guinness
