The best restaurants in Cork city council

11/08/2025: Has to be a solid 5 star. It’s reasonably cheap but good quality and reliable. There are three outlets in central locations in the city. Always tasty and quick. Recommended for a quick snack at lunchtime or after a few drinks in the evening.

11/07/2025: Quick and friendly service. We love coming here for a slice or two after a being out in the pub. Had the margherita and veg slices and they were great.

23/11/2025: Recently ate here with my daughter after a hospital appointment, I have never posted a negative review on any website but this place was appalling. Waitress was pleasant and friendly but two male staff (possibly owners)were present in the eat-in area the whole time we ate watching videos blaring on their phones. They then began arguing and shouting at each other and at one stage I thought it was going to get physical. My daughter and I were the only people eating in the restaurant so felt very uncomfortable .This went on for the duration of our meal.So unprofessional and rude. Food was pretty rough but would have got over that if it was a nice atmosphere. AVOID!!

28/10/2025: Cool atmosphere. Delicious food. I recommend it.

14/10/2025: Lovely hotel, good clean comfortable rooms. Value for money food.

13/10/2025: Wonderful hotel. Lovely room and excellent service

05/10/2025: From a local bank to a local café! This friendly spot offers good wholesome food, scones & coffee off the beaten track. Good stop off option if transiting via Cork northside. Can be busy at peak times.

28/09/2025: Excellent breakfast in bread!!! Nice staff!!! Thank you!!!

19/07/2025: Excellent food, very tasty. Really enjoyed it 😋

15/06/2025: I had high hopes for this place, but after witnessing what goes on behind closed doors, I can’t recommend it. The lack of professionalism and questionable after-hours behaviour were deeply disappointing. What’s worse, after leaving my honest opinion, I received an intimidating message. That says more about the place than any review could. I was a regular customer. I expected decency, not fear. Not sure if management is aware, but if they are, that alone should be a red flag. Think twice before supporting this place.

14/06/2025: El fenix is possibly the best bar in cork city. Every single member of staff makes sure to make you feel welcomed. Savage music, beautiful pints, best spot in the city

05/12/2025: booked our Christmas party here, the staff and Lauren who we were dealing with were amazing , the food was excellent and really nice relaxed atmosphere, highly recommended

23/11/2025: This place is busy. We are almost at the holidays and the tables were all reserved for parties and functions. Standing room only so a friend of mine and I stood at the bar for a while until a couple of stools freed up. Since the parties at the bar were catered ordering food seemed difficult. We only had drinks and chatted nicely until the DJ came on and the music got louder. Then it got difficult to hear our conversation but we really enjoyed the music. 80's and 90's music which was nice and everyone started dancing. So much fun to be had and the dancers were in front of the door and getting out was a challenge. Overall my rating is 4 stars because we couldn't sample the menu. The drinks were good and the service was great. I will definitely return at a less busier time.

25/08/2025: I had my birthday party at Hannah Barrett’s and it was amazing! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Thanks a lot ❤️

04/07/2025: Great, friendly and quiet local pub

06/09/2025: I drank a tea and the chocolate it was delicious. I took a good time with my friends.

31/08/2025: Butlers used to be name i trusted, but their dark hot chocolate is now awful. It was bad - even tasted burnt. Definitely not worth the hype anymore. I hope they will work on the quality so I can once again enjoy the good old days of that taste.
