The best restaurants in Cork city council

23/10/2025: Do not recommend due to discriminatory behaviour from staff *edit original post removed after almost an year*

16/09/2025: Alma is an amazing bartender and mixologist she definitely knew her stuff and recommended drinks I never even knew existed. 11/10 would definitely recommend this pub and am definitely going back for another drink!!

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

16/09/2025: I had the most amazing meal, carvery. The staff are super cool. Great to see craft beers and cider being supported. Big shout out to Stonewell Cider lovers, I'd a non alcoholic.

08/09/2025: The Bishopstown Bar is always a favourite for our family but we had not been in a year or so and we shocked by the increase in pricing. The steak sandwiches were only okay. Nothing in particular to complain about but nothing to praise either. The scampi was a small portion but delicious! The curry was extremely delicious though adding chicken certainly raised the price. The pasta however was extremely oily, with a pool of it even visible in the photo. The garlic bread was grand and was used to try and soak up the oil. The staff were lovely, the checked on us so regularly it was almost annoying but to be fair it was a quiet night and there were not many other customers. Overall I would come back but I would avoid the pasta dishes.

17/06/2025: Monday 16th of june, the bar was closed, this was about 9pm

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

28/10/2025: Great customer service and seating

27/10/2025: Overpriced, Coffee was terrible

10/09/2025: Driver went to the wrong house. When I rang I was told I had to pay again to get it delivered after waiting an hour already for my food. Terrible service

03/09/2025: Amazing peri peri chicken, love the pizzas and best beef burger in cork. Halal certified.

12/07/2025: Lovely big beer garden, authentic pizza (cash only)

10/07/2025: I was in here before the Celtic match. The place was mobbed but the staff were superb at getting people served. A good boozer with a good atmosphere and a decent pint of Murphys.

19/09/2025: Put in my order of soup and brown bread, a toasted sandwich and a side order of chips. My glass of water and cutlery arrived on a side plate which were dropped at the far side of my table, unusual I thought. A few minutes late the waitress arrived back and stretched across in front of me to place a soup spoon on my sideplate. She was holding the spoon by the bowl. More unusual I thought. My food arrived all together. This is getting ridiculous! Who serves two courses at the same time? The soup and brown bread were delicious. However, by the time I got around to eating my main course the chips were cold. The sandwich was horribly greasy. The side salad was chopped into tiny silly little pieces making it impossible for me to disgard the cucumber which I can’t abide. If I ever go back there I will only have the soup. Hopefully, in the meantime, they will train their staff.

23/08/2025: Went for breakfast. Food and service were so good that I returned for lunch the next day.

27/08/2025: Good ambiance and baked goods. The lemon drizzle was just right in terms of sweetness. Rested and recharged here with a nice cappuccino before heading out. Staff was very lovely and brought our orders out to the table ☺️

03/04/2025: A hidden treasure in the city to grab a cup of coffee with a friend. Nestled in amongst the small shops at Winthrop arcade, Cocoa is a fantastic independent coffee shop to support in a Cork City.

09/07/2025: Nice place, clean facilities. Friendly staff but a little pricey.

06/07/2025: I prefer Costa cof5to Starbucks, the coffee is better

22/09/2025: Great spot pa the piper Great character of bar

11/09/2025: Great local Pub! Small, intimate and friendly. I would highly recommend. Better than so many other Pubs listed as must see.

24/09/2025: We'd call it a village pub. Simply quaint and authentic. Not a tourist pub. Highly recommended. The food was superbly homemade.

18/09/2025: Typical local place. Great food, the fish was above amazing but 100% white irish 40+ customers... very local :-)

04/09/2025: The food at Domino’s Cork was spot on, fresh, tasty, and exactly what you’d expect. The only downside was the service, which was slower than expected. Still, once the order arrived, the quality made up for the wait.

13/08/2025: I love mac and cheese, but the one from Domino’s Blackpool is honestly horrific. Not something you’d expect from Domino’s, as their food is usually always lovely. The taste and texture were really disappointing definitely not something I’d order again.

18/10/2025: Food was ice cold when arrived ! None edible and very over priced for what we got ! Stay clear is my advice !

16/09/2025: Fantastic burgers. Very filling and tasty
