The best restaurants in Cork city council

04/10/2026: A well-deserved 5 stars for the high-quality pizza - and 6 stars for ditching U**rEats. Local people heard your voice. Well done! 👏🍕

02/10/2026: Food was delicious and service was amazing! Highly recommend!

29/07/2026: As soon as we drove onto the property, we were met with the lovely valets that handled our bags and asked questions to provide any assistance with our travels details and guidance on what to do in Cork. Once we entered the lobby, the staff was lovely and very helpful. Checking in was a breeze and you felt the staff was very attentive with providing information on our stay and details about where to find the restaurants and bars on the grounds. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The staff wrote us a note for our anniversary and provided little sweet treats, which was a lovely touch. The amenities in our room were excellent with a soaking tub and a nice and big walk-shower. The location of the Manor was central to the college and town. They do provide a car service and have a partnership with a local taxi company that was readily available to take into town. The atmosphere of the manor was incredible. You really felt like you were in the country side and heard very little noise from the surrounding area. With all the amenities, the service the staffed provided, and relaxing environment, I feel the value of staying here is well worth the price. This was our first time staying at Hayfield Manor and I will be booking again for a longer stay, next time. I highly recommend staying here for a couples retreat to take advantage of the spa or a nice family weekend to unwind.

24/07/2026: After staying at Hayfield Manor every other hotel stay will have so much to live up to. The grounds, restaurants, bars and rooms were absolutely beautiful. The pool, steam room and spa amenities were so beautiful and a great addition to the stay. The service was beyond any that we have ever experienced. Mary, Holly and all the staff were beyond helpful, kind and attentive to every detail. I will always remember our stay at the Manor and greatly appreciate all of the staff for their hospitality, attention to detail and kind gestures.

14/10/2026: Our waitress turned really snobby because she accused one of our table members of hitting her, when it was a simple chaotic restaurant accidental run in.

12/10/2026: That was the best burger I have ever had. In fact, in the 4 days we were in Cork, we ate there twice.

26/08/2026: Nicest matcha. The staff are lovely and it’s one of the few café’s I’ve been to where the cakes are as much as an attraction as the drinks are. It’s also very comfy in there, which paired with the late closing hour, is great for studying.

15/08/2026: I give it 10 stars! Delicious, affordable, and with friendly staff ❤️ I've been craving milk tea during my trip, so I've come here every day.

29/09/2026: Awesome pub. Just beer but loads of them, all the ones I had were spot on. Great place

20/09/2026: the stouts are amazing! the best I've had in ireland

07/09/2026: Without fail the staff always brighten my day

01/09/2026: Great menu, we did a catering order for the office and everything was excellent.

23/10/2026: We had a one day trip to Cork to visit some of the highlights. We chose a rainy day and before driving back home to Dublin, we were tired, cold and wet and had to decide where to eat. We didn't have a plan so we had to rush on picking something. Thank God the first restaurant on the list was not open yet and we picked Liberty Grill. I didn't know at that time that I will eat the best fish and chips in my life. Of course it's all about taste, but they made it exactly how I like it! Bread crumb crust and not oily at all. Chips were great also, and the sauce seemed to be home made because it was very tasty. For the desert we had warm pecan brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and baked cheescake with blueberry compote, wich was also made in heaven! The place is very clean and cozy and the staff very friendly. The price was also very good and that being said, I can honestly recommend this place. There was absolutely nothing to complain about in my opinion. Thank you very much for this lovely experience!

22/10/2026: Excellent across the board as usual. I don't go anywhere else for a meal out as never want to pass up the option of Liberty Grill. Consistency in staffing, which makes for a welcoming atmosphere and professional service and food is always the same - perfect. Couldn't recommend more highly.

23/08/2026: We love eating out but this experience was the best we have had ever, the inside is just stunning ,staff so friendly but it was the food was so fantastic. Its the attention to detail ,the food on the plate was 10 /10 highly recommend x

14/08/2026: Delicious meal and attentive service. The sea bass was exceptional. Hope to visit again soon

04/09/2026: I love the place so nice and teste i had chicken wings it was crispy nice 😊 And Customer service was good amine nice Fella

03/09/2026: Billal is amazing such good customer service and quick food

09/10/2026: City pubs are just too expensive for my liking theze days, 7€ for a Guinness is just not right this is why I dont head to these places anymore

28/09/2026: Very friendly staff and delicious food!

26/09/2026: I was blown away by Gekikara ramen. A bright broth packed with flavour and left my lips tingling. The ramen had freshly chopped spring onion, a soy sauce marinaded boiled egg, thinly sliced kimchi for a crunch and the sweet sticky teriyaki chicken paired brilliantly when soaked in the broth. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for spicy ramen as it far exceeded my expectations. The stellar reviews for this restaurant are definitely warranted!

14/09/2026: Great food, friendly staff and good price

16/09/2026: Cheap easy breakfast and lunch, no talking unless you invite conversation, direct, polite and friendly staff. full meal (too much food) for under 10-15 a person with a drink. Highly recommend!

06/09/2026: The manager is so nice and funny, food is delicious and well priced. Beautiful chai teas

27/09/2026: One of the best experiences with Brazilian food I've ever had, with many awesome options of well-seasoned meal which reminds me my mother's food. Very recommended

19/09/2026: Fernando gets a 10 out of 10!!!! The food was perfect. We loved everything.

24/07/2026: Couldn't fault this place , if you have to wait for a table it's worth it.

21/07/2026: Lovely place, food was very tasty, nice relaxed atmosphere

14/08/2026: We stayed for 2 nights in the one of the lodges on the resort ( with a family of 8, 6 adults and 2 kids) there is plenty to do on the resort walks, golf, spa swimming pool, and Fota wildlife park itself. Would highly recommend it if you are thinking about it. Close by there is the Elm tree restaurant Brambley lodge cafe and Cobh is only a short 10 minute drive where you have plenty more activities to do, pleasant stay and if we are doing this type of holiday again we will be back

28/07/2026: Beautiful hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms. It is a little outside of Cork, which makes for a relaxing and quiet stay. We enjoyed our time here, and the team at the hotel were welcoming.
