The best restaurants in Cork city council

30/10/2025: Update: I made payment for soaps and my money was refunded to me. No reason was given, no response to my message. It may be because of my last review but this experience was worse than the last time. I made payment of the 3rd of October, 2025. The customer care service and response needs to be worked on. More information about delivery(delivery company) used too needs to be given to the client or updated on your website/whatsapp welcome message. I had a terrible experience of being ignored without any update from the person I was chatting with. When I complained the message I got was such a terrible message, where the person responded like she was doing me a favour. You really need to do better. About the product I ordered, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the product I got it. It was exactly what I wanted. It was original, especially since a lot of fakes are in circulation and the price was the best price I saw anywhere. I hope in future I can get more of the product I got and be able to edit/update this review to more favourable experience.

23/10/2025: Amazing afro food shop with the most helpful staff that go above and beyond to help you with what you need.

15/04/2026: Our room had no outside facing windows. It had a window that looked into the lobby. We were just stopping over for the night and it was mid week so we didn’t care but I imagine it could be an issue if the lobby is noisy at night.

15/04/2026: Our accomodations were clean and comfortable. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Cookies are terrific.

29/03/2026: The pizza was delicious and the staff is very friendly. Thank you lads.

20/02/2026: Delicious authentic Italian pizza 👌

16/02/2026: Used to be an old haunt of mine. Fab coffee and hot chocolate. I still hope they do the loyalty cards

11/02/2026: Perfect place to get coffee, lunch, and relax.

31/01/2026: Bombay Palace in Cork is a real gem! The food is absolutely outstanding – every dish is bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The location is super convenient, easy to get to, and the ambiance inside is just lovely. It's the perfect spot for a delicious meal out. Highly recommend!

31/01/2026: Bombay Palace in Cork is a culinary adventure! The Lamb Madras and Lamb Jalfarzi are packed with flavor and cooked to perfection, showcasing the depth of Indian cuisine. The location is convenient, and the ambiance is enhanced by the attentive staff. And don't forget to finish your meal with their outstanding Irish Coffee – it's the perfect way to end a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended!

27/07/2025: Great atmosphere, cracking venue

12/05/2025: A good football field inside the complex, artificial grass, not bad

15/11/2025: Shopping mall with all what you need

13/08/2025: A gorgeous shopping center, it has everything, I love it for the choice of stores

20/02/2026: Beautiful food in both premises, but on the two occasions I've visited Balance District I've met the same woman with an attitude. Never met her before , don't know her. Not even thank you after paying. For this reason alone, I won't be returning. She really is a dreadful person.

14/01/2026: So only for 1 or 2 waitresses that get distracted in conversation. I once waited 20 minutes for 2 take away coffees and then was giving then in a ceramic mug! After asking twice I was in a hurry so very inconvenient for me. The 2 waitresses were busy chatting behind the counter on a busy time, so disappointed at this. I never went for a take away coffee again. But go for breakfast from time to time.This place is amazing 👏 food is top 😋 the new waitress Alison is amazing great service and great at her job very efficient.

02/11/2025: Edited as it's my second day in a row getting this. The food is absolutely top notch and some of the most reasonably priced food around with amazing taste! They even do a vegan beef burger which is so so nice and the curry and satay dishes I've had are also 10/10! Staff are friendly too so 10/10 to the staff as well!

23/10/2025: Rude reception. Got burger and chips with no sachet sauce. I had in a takeaway but was waiting for someone to pick me up when I decided to check my bag and have a few chips. But she yelled ‘u can’t eat here!’ I didn’t order for dine in. All I wanted was to sit for few minutes while waiting for my pickup. Why should a food service be unwelcoming? I didn’t have appetite to eat my food after such rudeness.

05/04/2026: Its a nice cafe, but as its on the main road in town centre, its very crowded. Food and drinks were OK.

24/03/2026: A wonderful, cozy cafe. It's nice to have a place in Cork where you can get dessert and coffee after 6 p.m., since everything is closed and there's no opportunity to chat with friends. The coffee was excellent. The atmosphere and staff are wonderful

05/04/2026: Relaxing, good staff, food was delicious.

29/03/2026: I visited Sutton's with family for Sunday brunch. I reserved a table online which was reserved for us on arrival. The staff gave us plenty of time to choose our dishes and there was plenty of choice from scones, the Full Irish, and breakfast baps. Tea and coffee is expensive on its own, but the Full Irish and "Sutton's Skillet" both include tea and coffee in the order so not an additional cost. I ordered the Sutton's Full Irish. It consisted of rashers, white and black pudding, white toast and butter, potatoes, sausages, baked beans, and mushrooms. It was delicious, especially the rashers which were crispy but not too brittle and dry. The dish could have been warmer but the hot plate kept it warm for a long time. A few things I would like to see on my next visit: - Warmer food when served. - A jug of water served without having to request it from staff. - A choice of brown or white bread to serve alongside the dish. The atmosphere was comfortable and we were left to enjoy our meal without the staff checking in on us. Table and chairs were large and the three of us did not feel cramped sitting next to each other. I would recommend Sutton's bistro for brunch if you are in Cork for brunch.

22/11/2025: Great and beautiful place to stay! I love that place

21/10/2025: It's like an oasis on the way to Muzzer, great spot!

03/11/2025: Nice being able to sit by the water. Coffee is fine.

10/10/2025: It's a good place for the summer. The coffee and food are excellent.

18/06/2025: I was genuinely shocked by what I witnessed at Gym Plus Cork in Mahon Point during my recent visit. A female member was working out in what was essentially a bikini bra and shorts so short and see-through that her private areas were clearly visible as she walked around and during squats. This level of exposure is completely inappropriate for any public gym, and it created an uncomfortable atmosphere for others, myself included. Even more disturbing was the fact that there were adolescents present at the time. In my view, this goes beyond poor judgement — it amounts to public indecency, and I believe the Gardaí should be made aware. Gym Plus urgently needs to enforce a clear and reasonable dress code to ensure a respectful, safe, and professional environment for all members, including families and young people. This kind of negligence is unacceptable.

07/10/2025: Lovely and cozy, food is great!

07/09/2025: Great pub food... fantastic service and plenty of servings.
