The best restaurants in Cork city council

02/08/2026: Never a let down ,Savage burgers

02/08/2026: Tastiest burger in ballincollig by far.

09/07/2026: My partner and I went here recently enough. We will absolutely be back again! We got the pizza and wine deal for 55 euro! Incredible value and we really enjoyed the pizza! The wine was really good too!

04/07/2026: Absolutely the best pizza I have had in years! The crust was cooked to perfection. We had the sweet chili bacon 12 inch pizza - to die for!!! Best pizza in Ireland!!

26/07/2026: Lovely brunch with great service. Delicious menu at very reasonable price. Eggs Benedict with salmon was great.

21/07/2026: There were six of us for dinner. Four of us had their specialty spit-roast pork which was fabulous. One of us had the Pithivier and said it deserved a round of applause. All of us really enjoyed the meal and our server, Ash, was knowledgeable, friendly and helpfully adapted the menu to accommodate a dairy allergy. Staff were all friendly and professional. This place is popular. We went at 7.30 on a Monday evening and there were no free tables therfore woukd recommend booking ahead for dinner.

02/07/2026: My husband, 7 month old, my in-laws, and I recently stayed at Hayfield Manor for a short break of 2 nights. From the moment we arrived we were treated so well. The hotel made sure we had everything we needed for the baby, from the crib to a mini fridge in the room to storing our cooler ice packs downstairs. They also treated our baby as a guest rather than an inconvenience, which we appreciated so much, especially as first time parents traveling for the first time with our infant. We loved the rooms, the amenities, the grounds and gorgeous gardens, and notably: the food in the restaurant, which was incredible. We will surely be back.

16/06/2026: We love Hayfield Manor, everything was beautiful but the best part was the amazing service and blue bikes!

02/08/2026: The food was good, the lamb was well-cooked, and the service was friendly. The wine list was average, but the beer selection was very limited—only two draft beers. They need to improve; they're in Ireland, after all. Prices are generally high, but this isn't unique to this restaurant. Finally, why do they allow vaping? The smoke is awful for those who are eating.

01/08/2026: The food was great but the service was even better! Pepe made sure we had a great meal and a great experience. Thank you!

27/07/2026: I love this place, really high quality café. Lovely vibe, lovely selections, and really lovely staff. For a place that does so much - sweet and savoury treats, coffees, boba, cakes - it's amazing that they do each so very well. I try something different when I can and I'm always delighted, no matter what it is. I had a to-go coconut flat white yesterday yesterday and nearly went back just to thank them again, it was so perfect! Their coffee training is 👌. I'll be back soon for more coffee for sure. Thank you guys, you're obviously popular and busy but you're still consistently doing fantastic work!

10/07/2026: I never thought I'd be recommending a place in Cork because it has air conditioning but here we are!

24/07/2026: The family taster was fantastic and Shauna was an amazing instructor. Thank you!

24/07/2026: Excellent facility with fantastic staff

25/07/2026: ichibanya roll is a must!! i’ve never had anything like it

15/07/2026: got this food on deliveroo yesterday around 7 or 8pm . the food was good but i got a tobiko nigiri and the roe tasted very weird nothing like ive had before and im a tobiko lover so this is unusual. thought nothing of it until i got home at around 10pm and started noticing a headache. thought nothing of it until it felt like my eyes were popping out of my skull and was getting terrible nausea. tried to rest it off but it wouldn't go away and i started throwing up from 1 am till 3 am. as an avid sushi lover that never gets sick somethings not quite right....

13/07/2026: Had the falafel burger and veggie burger. Both amazing. Service was good when they messed up my order/bill and fixed it without any drama. Sad to leave Cork mostly for this place lol

12/07/2026: Absolutely loved this place, great to see everyone in the team looking after customers. From the minute we arrived, we were met with courteous staff, delicious hot food, very generous portions. The food was so delicious that I forgot to take a photo, but a clean plate is a good sign in any restaurant.

12/07/2026: The Guinness is to die for (better than in the uk). Lovely quirky bar, friendly staff.

07/07/2026: Grand spot, was there after the Cork City Marathon and there was a right aul buzz

18/07/2026: We booked this restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The food was good, but the experience was disappointing overall. Our table was uncomfortable, and the indoor area was far too noisy. We ordered the patatas bravas but were told they had run out of the tomato sauce. However, as we were leaving, we saw the same dish being served with tomato sauce to other tables, which was confusing. Overall, I don’t think the experience justified the price.

10/07/2026: Wandered up from our vacation stay and discovered this tapas bar on a busy little corner across from St. Luke’s church. On this hot day in Cork, no one bothered to sit inside but rather on the sidewalk where everyone was cool and jovial. We only had to wait one minute for a table to turn, which was lucky as it seemed like a place where no one seemed rushed. We ordered chicken bites and spicy meatballs that went well with a nice rioja. Service was fast and friendly, and had the cozy neighborhood vibe that made us wish we were staying another few days so we could come back here and chill.

26/07/2026: Delicious food, even in a heat wave. I had the best veggie burger of my life.

23/07/2026: Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience. The staff was unprofessional and not very attentive. The restrooms were extremely dirty, which left a very poor impression. The fish and chips were also very dry and lacked flavor.

24/06/2026: Great Asian food store lots of products helpful friendly staff

30/04/2026: My go to for hair extensions and African snacks. They always have a great range and everything I need. The staff are super friendly and helpful too. Always a good experience whenever I visit!

23/07/2026: Great experience! The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food was delicious. We were early in the evening heading to an event, so the early dinner menu (3 courses)worked great for us. It was a scorcher and bit hot but nothing they could do about that. Overall highly recommend!! Fish, chicken and duck all wonderful. Desserts too!

22/07/2026: Really interesting old spa restaurant space. Friendly staff and good quality food.Vegan and vegetarian menu very good and reasonable priced.

17/06/2026: Delicious food with large portions at amazing prices, the French toast was heavenly and my buddy who eats like a horse could barely finish the small Irish breakfast. Coffee was perfect too!

01/06/2026: Called in today with a couple of friends for an Irish breakfast after running the Cork city half marathon. Have nothing but good words to say about this place. We were greeted by a lovely man who we had a great laugh with. Food was cooked & served by him in a timely manner and it was delicious. He had us all licking the plates clean! I cannot recommend enough!
