The best restaurants in Cork city council

24/04/2026: Great shop, wonderful selection of all things vegetarian. From wholefoods to spices and soaps. They've got the lot. If you're looking for it and it's veggie, they've most likely got it in stock.

17/04/2026: Had fun shopping at the different vendors here. Got a few used books, a necklace, edible Irish seaweed, ginger drink, and some eco-friendly cleaning products! They have a little bit of everything.

28/09/2025: One of my favorite places to have a lovely coffee and amazing desserts. Staff is always very friendly.

13/09/2025: Server was lovely. But! I got ONE spoon of granola in my açai bowl which was kind of ridiculous. For €10.50 I should be getting at least three spoons. The barista made a great coffee but like price for return is non existent. Could be great as the location is handy and the cafe itself is lovely inside. Potentially a great place, but not quite there.

08/06/2026: Unable to connect to the Wi-Fi. This needs to be fixed, as it's ruining the cafe experience. 🤬🤬🤬

02/06/2026: Excellent breakfast 🥐🍰☕ Very nice place Friendly staff

04/12/2025: Beautiful gem of a cafe in the centre of Cork city! Stunning crockery, decor and atmosphere inside and outside the cafe in a quiet mall. But most of all, clearly the nicest hot chocolate I have ever tasted! The cakes are also very tasty and the staff is very kind and pleasant. Great place to stop by when Christmas shopping. Looking forward to call again...

02/12/2025: It's the best hot chocolate in cork. The shop itself is very charming and the staff are very pleasant and quick.

27/11/2025: First class food. Amazing service. Definitely worth a return visit.

21/11/2025: We had the pleasure of dining at 51 Cornmarket tonight, and the entire experience was world-class, especially the service. We were running significantly late due to unforeseen circumstances, but the owner, Anne, was absolutely fantastic and incredibly accommodating. ​Anne stayed in close contact with us while we were en route, kindly sent us the menu ahead of time, and even took our order so the kitchen could prepare our meal while we traveled. This level of communication and care is truly rare and saved our evening! ​Once we arrived, the setting and atmosphere were warm, intimate, and absolutely on point. The food was nothing short of fantastic—every dish was delicious. The wine selection was also superb. ​Thank you, Anne, and the entire team at 51 Cornmarket, for turning a stressful evening into a wonderful dining experience. Highly, highly recommend!

11/06/2026: Was there recently with a group of 30 and I can only hope I’m never there again. They had our arrival time but absolutely no effort was made to accommodate a coach. Not their problem seemed to be the attitude. The rooms were not clean and most of the group had no bottled water in their rooms. If they wanted it they had to buy it. Rooms were stuffy with no air con. Couldn’t open windows with the noise outside of traffic and the homeless which there was plenty of at the back of the hotel which I know is of no fault of the hotel due to it’s central location but that’s why you have air con.The staff at breakfast time in fairness were very friendly and accommodating. But overall I’d deffo not recommend

10/06/2026: We were looking for a central location and comfort.. we got both.. and we got service and great care especially for our special needs party. Will we come back.. yes, of course! (Thank you Rachel, Emily, Nicole and everyone who helped along the way).

10/03/2026: Good food good service everyday going there to take away chicken satay

17/02/2026: amazing food and customer service! spicy bag!!!!😛👍🏻

21/11/2025: spice bag was delicious, owners really friendly and hospitable

02/11/2025: I got spicy chicken meehon after describing what kind of a noodle i want on the night of the halloween,no eggs not sweet sauce ,the women taking my order was very practical to guide me with my choice and also asked me if i want spicy or not.(it is really spicy so if it is not for you keep that in mind) What i received as my order was totally what i was craving.the price (11.50)sounded a bit too much in the beginning for a takeaway noodle but considering the portion guess it was ok, she also let me charge my phone inside on a very busy night even before my order so thanks again to her for that.The only thing i would recommend them to come up with a solution with is their plastic boxes they put the food in.As you would expect asian food is served super duper hot and it is really not healthy to serve boiling hot food in plastic boxes,other than that the food is 5/5 and the service was even better

08/05/2026: Best pizza ever, we love La Tana 🍕

06/05/2026: The pizzas here are usually fantastic, but they are just too expensive to justify regularly. As it stands, it’s a once every month or two kinda place, and even then I’m not sure it’s worth it for me versus cooking at home. Consistency can also be an issue here; when you’re paying 19 euro for a 10” pizza, it needs to be more than perfect. That aside, a good pizza here can be a real treat.

13/10/2025: Best food very hygenic and very tasty food. I loved the friedrice and sweet sour chicken.

19/07/2025: Amazing good and warm and friendly service. Will visit again

22/08/2025: shocking standards Since they closing down, raw chips , chicken burger dead dry and black inside meet , chicken wings black inside absolutely disgusting

15/06/2025: Lovely welcome firstly Very Child friendly Loads of parking Service was great and staff are lovely Food was top notch Will 100% return and defo recommend

26/09/2025: Stopped by this coffee shop this morning for a cortado and something to go — and wow! The cortado was absolute perfection, and the almond croissant was just as impressive. To top it off, they were playing Radiohead, which gave the place such a great vibe. Highly recommend if you’re looking for fantastic coffee and fresh-baked goods!

15/08/2025: Delicious espresso at a good price

17/05/2026: Nice looking venue, sadly that's where the good ends. €3.90 for mi-wadi. They brought the wrong food out and left me me waiting 20min for the correct order. Beyond this, service was very slow. Nobody would come to take payment and after getting up to find a till. We were told to sit down and wait. Will never go back.

15/05/2026: Great food. Amazing Service and staff.

19/04/2026: The food quality was terrible. We ordered roast turkey and roast bacon with broccoli, but the broccoli was yellow and not fresh. The worst part was the cauliflower vegetarian steak; the cauliflower was burnt. The steak was okay.

05/04/2026: Staff horrible. Food is vile would not waste my time here again steer clear of this place

13/10/2025: Stopped by The Glass House at the Montenotte Hotel in Cork for drinks, and it’s exactly the kind of spot you want on a sunny afternoon. The view is incredible especially if you sit outside, you can see almost the entire city, which makes for the perfect backdrop. 🌞🍹 I went with a cocktail and a small plate, and both were delightful well-made, refreshing, and perfect for a leisurely sip while taking in the view. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it’s a great spot for drinks with a view. Nothing over the top just good drinks, stunning scenery, and a relaxed atmosphere. Ratings: 🍴 Food/Drinks: 4/5 🛎 Service & Ambience: 5/5 💸 Money’s Worth: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 – A stylish spot with one of the best views in Cork.

16/09/2025: Some of the best cocktails we ever had
