The best restaurants in Cork city council

21/07/2026: Awesome place, everything was delicious

16/07/2026: An excellent English-style breakfast! A superb setting! Cool background music! Perfect for starting a motorcycle road trip! 😊

21/08/2026: Food was lovely great taste, good size portions, garlic cheese chip size alone is amazing 👍

19/08/2026: Review update: 5 stars. Absolutely delicious and one of the best smash burguers I had. Really tasty and very generous portions. The quality has really improved!

15/08/2026: Took my partner out on a date to the glass curtain which she was raving about for the past 2 years. So I went in with a very positive mindset. We got drinks to start and the rosé was very tasty. For starters I got the squid dish was very tasty and the foamy sauce was great. My partner got the stuffed cod and the portion size was no bigger than my index finger for 18 euro I felt it was very tight serving size. For the main in which they only do sharing platters we got the monkfish. At the cost of 85 euro and a side of fried potatoes for 6 euro. The monk fish was bland there was char marks on the fish but no real char flavour. The most flavourful item in the main course was the roast tomato’s and I will put my hands up saying the roast tomato’s were great. An overall ranking would be fine. But for a good 144 euro there are far better and tastier restaurants

14/08/2026: Absolutely wonderful experience at Glass Curtain in Cork. The food was delectable, the atmosphere was grand and beautifully welcoming, and the staff were exceptional - warm, attentive and genuinely thoughtful. The Dover sole was a particular highlight - beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. And the level of care from the team really stood out: my partner’s mum had forgotten her glasses at home, and they even had reader glasses available for her. Such a small gesture, but it made such a difference and showed just how attentive they are to their guests. Beautiful food, fantastic atmosphere and outstanding service. A thoroughly memorable evening - highly recommended! ✨

01/09/2026: Restaurant located in a small, busy alley in the very center of Cork. Very friendly staff. Quick and efficient service. Very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our mezze and kebabs.

31/08/2026: What a great find on a Sunday evening in Cork. The food was delicious, the service was prompt, the restaurant was clean & the staff was wonderful. Los trabajadores hablan español también. The atmosphere was very inviting & the price was reasonable for an elegant restaurant. The bathroms were clean too, which seems strange to mention but often bathrooms in restaurants are not so clean. If I had any complaint, it is the door was open, which let smoke drift in from the patio area. All in all, I highly recommend the restaurant.

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!!

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

15/08/2026: this place knows how to pull a quality pint, Small and full Irish pub 👍🏼 Nice spot to stop for one or two.

14/08/2026: Okay so, this has been a dream of mine. To go to a proper Irish pub and drink a Guinness. It was great. Everything I ever pictured. It's cool to see the culture. I enjoyed every second while I stopped my Guinness at the bar. So I went back another day when it was pouring outside and I needed shelter. It was a little early so I went with the Guinness 0% and it was so tasty! I'm not typically a fan of non alcoholic beers but Guinness 0% is great! I didn't see food or notice anyone ordering food so I can't rate the food but the service and beer was everything you'd expect. Highly recommend!

14/08/2026: We were treated very well, they were friendly and patient with our poor English, the food was delicious and arrived very quickly, the place was very comfortable, and the price was average for the local area, so we were very happy.

12/08/2026: Might be the best burger I have ever had, if you’re not stoping here you probably hate food.

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!

26/08/2026: A wonderful discovery in Cork! We had a marvelous time at SpitJack for our daughter's birthday, and everything came together to make this occasion truly special. The welcome was particularly warm: a smiling, lovely team who were above all very attentive, paying real attention to our needs. We truly appreciated their kindness and the little touches that make all the difference on a birthday. And the food was delicious! Everything was wonderful, generous, and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and lively, while still being very pleasant for a family meal. A big thank you to the entire SpitJack team for their hospitality and for helping to make our daughter's birthday even more special. We highly recommend this place if you're ever in Cork!

26/08/2026: Congratulations, Teh Spitjack. We stumbled upon this very quaint place by chance. We had a great time; the food was good and plentiful. The lady who served us, Miss Atqiya, was superb. Thank you.

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!

26/08/2026: Great service! Call for reservations if you do not want to wait

24/08/2026: Best brunch we had this summer!

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.

26/06/2026: Bagels were great, coffee was yummy and they were very kind to my 1 year old son and offered him toys while we had breakfast. We had a big order and they double checked it and it came out fast. We loved it!

17/06/2026: It was great to have a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel, in Ireland! Delicious. We were very excited to try this Cafe and we were incredibly happy we did (even though we aren't Boston Red Socks fans) Everyone was very friendly. I highly recommend a visit here.

25/07/2026: Friendly ambient. Wide range of food products. Excellent quality.

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