The best restaurants in Cork city council

08/01/2026: Great pub with traditional Irish music

06/01/2026: This is a lively pub, especially if you’re into live music—it’s definitely worth checking out. On weekends, it gets busy and energetic, with a great buzz. If you prefer a calmer, more relaxed evening, weekdays are the way to go. The place itself is huge, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, so there’s usually space no matter when you visit.

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

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

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!

05/12/2025: This place is open late and offers both DJ sets and live music. It also has some heated outdoor seating. It's a great place to meet cool people.

29/11/2025: The owner owes me 30 quid for taxi for having me to go back to little island and change me really nice white Nike tracksuit pants

18/12/2025: Superb. Best Burger i ve tried in Ireland

28/11/2025: I got a burger and chips here. The food was pleasant and the staff very friendly. The Black Market was freezing cold but that is not the fault of the vendor.

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.

26/09/2025: We loved to go to Dashi and it was our go-to takeaway in COVID times. I ordered for collection on a Thursday evening at 7pm, half of the sushi options were gone and the curry and udon noodle dishes (or at least parts thereof) were heated in a microwave, and it still took them 25 minutes to put the order together. The dishes lacked veggies and where mediocre at best, and I couldn't finish the seaweed salad. Very disappointed.

18/09/2025: Visited the place just for the first time, as I saw they have a lot of great reviews, and variety of options, but unfortunately were disappointed, as many of the ingredients weren’t just included. They show in the menu that the sushi has variety of ingredients, and a lot of interesting stuff like: asparagus, chive, chilli powder, and so, but unfortunately they just used instead of the asparagus the curcumber, and we had no chives or chilli powder, although we should have had😟 Also the trout sushi we had was half raw/and half cooked👀

18/11/2025: Had to stop in to see "the mural" and fish. There's a cool area out back. On that particular night... Not our crowd. So we left after one drink.

11/11/2025: Terrible atmosphere. Worth seeing.

16/11/2025: Consistently excellent food and service. There is a separate vegan/vegetarian menu with a range of good options.

06/09/2025: Fantastic hotel and restaurant. The food was top notch. Highly recommend this place. And you never know who you might meet

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.

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.

11/11/2025: This place is a gem! A great spot for breakfast or lunch. Poached eggs on sourdough toast was scrumptious as was the chicken tarragon + stuffing sandwich also on sourdough. Very reasonable prices given the high quality ingredients. Really good coffee too. The interior is gorgeous: cozy wooden tables and benches strewn with cushions (you almost completely forget you're in the center of a business park with major construction going on nearby). It was bustling on a Monday morning.

29/08/2025: Fabulous fresh food. Fabulous chill environment. Fabulous staff.

23/07/2025: I got Lunch Sandwich Special here yesterday for a small party in my house Sndwiches, wraps & rolls...different variety of each...all very fresh tasty...and all enjoyed by my guests!!!Most asked where I got them and had no problem passing on details... Would highly recommend

09/07/2025: Staff are always lovely, food and coffee are great and very reasonably priced in comparison to other establishments in the Blackrock area. Really good selection of sandwiches, almost too good though, hard to make up your mind 🤣

29/10/2025: I was very sad to see this pub go. Probably my favourite in Cork. Really wonderful staff and a great atmosphere. I hope the owners are able to open a new premises elsewhere in the near future!

14/08/2025: Hopefully the new management will be better.

19/12/2025: Everything went perfectly! I'll order again. The prices are simply fantastic! Thank you so much!

18/12/2025: Doesn’t even deserve one star The staff is terrible people! Staff does not appreciate their clients
