The best restaurants in Cork city council

09/08/2026: One of the places that make you feel good when having really excellent coffee.

17/05/2026: Great coffee, big windows to let the sun in. Nice n chill

29/06/2026: Great shop with a very nice deli. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Great selection of pizza bases, sausages and rashers in the fridge

12/05/2026: Found myself in Blackrock today and happened across On a Platter Deli. The coffee is so good I can't even begin to describe it, I would drive out of my way just for another one really soon. Had a beautiful sandwich which was freshly made and have to say 10 out of 10 all round. The service was super, happy and attentive staff, the selection was more than ample (everything from Vegan delights to meat lovers dreams) and the real family feel to the shop means I would definitely be back. Thank you On a Platter for making my day.

21/08/2026: Hidden gem . Owner is a lovely guy ..

12/05/2026: Chicken club is amazing, lovely atmosphere and great staff. Such a gem

11/07/2026: Went to try and enjoy a World Cup match last night and the band was doing sound checks while the match was on. Was beyond irritating and was definitely not necessary in this moment.

24/05/2026: Fantastic pub with live music. Guy was playing old school rock classics. Great crowd too. Mix, but plenty of late 30s-40s genX women there too. Had a great time. RECOMMEND.

06/06/2026: Very goooood beef, the taste is incredible I recommend it 5000 percent !!!!, good job 👍

06/06/2026: The picanha was delicious, highly recommend, very filling too

27/08/2026: It's a fastfood place... I orderes the chicken curry with rice. The only good thing was the rice. The curry sauce was indusstrial made and just warmed up for me. The vegetables were only onions. There was not really a good taste to it.

15/08/2026: The meat pieces were large and delicious. The staff were very friendly ❤️

19/08/2026: An unforgettable experience for a devoted Depeche Mode fan like myself. I was in Cork for a few days and it was a must-visit. Everything was excellent!! Breakfast, Robert's hospitality, and the lovely staff. I'll definitely be back when I return! Depeche Mode forever. ♥️

29/07/2026: Visited Cafe Depeche this week with my partner and we had a lovely time! 100/10 reccommend. The food was stunning. The atmosphere was all there - so much Depeche Mode memorabilia on the walls and all around the shop. Lastly, but not least, the staff were SO lovely and accommodating! Such a pleasure to chat with! Would love to go again the next time we're in Ireland <3

12/08/2026: Got two doner kebabs with no Chilis and extra garlic and the portion was just right and food tasted lovely

24/06/2026: Best pizza in town specifically Sami bhai is great And best wishes for nouman

02/09/2026: The waiter was lovely and they make THE best spicy margs ever.

20/05/2026: Can't speak for the food didn't have any however the bar and staff are grand with a colourful cast of patrons

20/07/2026: Food was nice, good for the takeaways

22/06/2026: Has to be the nicest lamb vindaloo ive had, 100% spot on lovely, chips too very nice hand cut chipper chips not them frozen ones. Nan bread and rice both amazing, lovely heat from the vindaloo and lamb nice and tender, the lads are sound too, nice meeting you guys, ill definitely be back, the lad from dublin in the truck if you remember 😀 amazing food 😋

19/05/2026: Baffling lack of customer service. Waited an hour and 45 minutes for a stone cold pizza to be delivered

15/05/2026: First pizza was burnt. Second pizza was only okay. Not very good especially for the price. I recommend avoiding this establishment.

09/06/2026: One of the better Costas. Lots of varied seating and plenty free parking, + a drive through. Service is the usual "robot" from these franchises. €7 for a nice warm scone with butter/jam/cream and flat white in a proper cup. Worth a visit There is a semi-outdoor space with seating for smokers

24/02/2026: Great place for coffee and treats

19/08/2026: The food was absolutely amazing. The best food ive had out in a long time. Expensive but well worth it.

29/07/2026: Very dissapointing food and cocktails. The service and ambience werr good, however in no way did they make up for the food. Dishes were poorly designed. The dishes were uninspiring with mediocre additions.

22/06/2026: Fantastic stay in a beautifully refurbished room! I recently stayed at Leonardo Hotel in Cork and was incredibly impressed by their newly refurbished rooms. The redesign is both stylish and highly functional, with a lovely contemporary color palette featuring warm terracotta and dusty pink tones. The Bedroom Area: The beds are absolutely pristine, incredibly comfortable and topped with plenty of crisp, fresh pillows. The new patterned carpets give the space a very premium, cozy feel. Workspace & Amenities: The workspace area is brilliantly laid out. It features a large, flat-screen TV mounted on a chic pink panel, a dedicated desk with convenient power outlets, a matching vanity stool and a comfortable armchair. They’ve also thought of practical touches like a cooling tower fan and a well-equipped tea/coffee station. Storage & Entryway: The attention to detail continues right from the entrance. The hallway features a stunning, full-length arched mirror and beautiful custom built-in wardrobes that blend seamlessly into the room's color scheme. The Bathroom: The bathroom feels like a luxury boutique hotel. It features a gorgeous modern floating sink, an illuminated LED mirror and a fantastic walk-in shower complete with stylish vertical terracotta tiling and a rainfall showerhead. Everything was spotlessly clean. The Service: Beyond the brilliant new rooms, the staff here are absolutely wonderful—so friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the entire stay. Leonardo's has done an amazing job with this upgrade. It offers the perfect mix of excellent service, comfort, style, and a great location in Cork. Highly recommended!

16/06/2026: The staff was great friendly and informative. We arrived by town truck as the car rental broke down. The staff immediately made us feel comfortable. Rooms were clean and shower had great pressure. Being in walking distance to buses, train, great restaurants and shops we canceled car.

19/08/2026: Hi, the museum is small, but very compact and informative. The many chairs for reading and reflecting on the information are fantastic. THANK YOU!

18/08/2026: A simple but interesting museum with an audio tour included in the entry fee which mashed a change from lots of reading. Good to visit before walking around the mine sites.
