The best restaurants in Cork city council

05/10/2025: From a local bank to a local café! This friendly spot offers good wholesome food, scones & coffee off the beaten track. Good stop off option if transiting via Cork northside. Can be busy at peak times.

28/09/2025: Excellent breakfast in bread!!! Nice staff!!! Thank you!!!

22/12/2025: What was not to love! Great choice of lunch items, hot and cold. Great personable staff. Comfortable and laidback vibe. Parking outside the door. Might move to 5 ⭐ on my next visit when I've had the chance to sample more than a tasty, toasted sandwich and checked out the toilet facilities. Dec '25 back again. Enjoyed a seasonal ciabatta. Lovely staff again. Toilet facilities ok, not great in terms of cleanliness but it may have been just before a mid service clean to give them the benefit of the doubt.

17/12/2025: One great place badly needed in the area. The staff are extremely helpful and pleasant.. they do delicious sandwiches and homemade cakes. They sell their coffee by the bags. It’s got a nice atmosphere and they do great coffees .

29/10/2025: Very icy staff constantly bickering at each other. Saw rats around back of shop with open door!!! If you have any self respect, avoid this over priced deli counter. There's a spar down the road that does a nicer munch for a quarter of the price

03/09/2025: Price is a little on the high side, couldn't fault the food.

02/12/2025: Fabulous meal. James our server was excellence personified.

29/08/2025: Great to visit my alma matra and see the renovations

27/07/2025: Great atmosphere, cracking venue

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

21/11/2025: Any time we come in here lately for lunch or breakfast, I get mine relatively fast but my partner has been waiting 20minutes after I get mine. So I’m all done before hers comes out. What’s the point in having lunch together if it ends up we don’t have our lunch together, the place isn’t even that busy and other people that come in after us have gotten served before hers comes. If it was the odd time you would get over it but has become a regular occurrence so it’s disgrace really and we decided we won’t be coming here again.

02/11/2025: Best omelette in Ireland I ever had

07/10/2025: Never went in just past close buy outside but I did not like the look of it men drinking and smoking outside at the door at the side of the building.

19/08/2025: Great spot, friendly people and staff

08/07/2025: The worst tiramisu I have ever had. The layer didn't go well. I felt more like eating a dry tiramisu with not properly layered with cream. And the coffee powder sprinkling was so bad. They use the same base for both biscoff and tiramisu.

03/07/2025: Absolutely amazing! Huge portions at a very low price, full of flavour and protein. One sandwich can feed a starving man! Friendly staff and great service in French Tacos– truly impressed. 🌟

15/10/2025: Called here during the week and got a 5 Tenders meal with Gravy and a Kids Popcorn Chicken meal. It's fair to say they do good chicken and gravy here. Portion size was also very good, For me Hillbillies is the best chicken in Cork but this is up their, well worth a try if you like Fried Chicken and Gravy 👍

08/06/2025: Classic local pub in a quiet neighborhood. We visited during the hurling match and had a great time with our fellow patrons. Ursula and her staff made us feel welcome and gave us a history lesson about the pub and area. Thank you for a great time.

03/06/2025: the staff refuses to serve because I'm not a regular.

19/12/2025: No gloves been worn how can people eat the food looking at this

18/12/2025: Ordered food to eat in then looked around for somewhere to sit, Fabric seat cushions are dirty with black sugar stains on, Hard stools at window area also dirty and tables uncleared with food on floor, I don't think this dining area has seen soap wash for 5+ years. We took our food to car to eat for hygiene reasons.

09/02/2026: Super kind and attentive staff. Booked 15 people for a surprise party for a friend. Outstanding service, staff made sure we have the best spot and arranged the seats for us so everyone can be close together and not in separate tables or apart. They also helped us putting candles on the cake, slicing and serving. Totally didn't expect such kindness, so thank you so much for hosting us! Also had the best ginger beer and good music, not too loud, awesome vibes. Highly recommend.

21/01/2026: Very organized, pleasant, clean place with excellent service and top-notch food.

27/12/2025: Both my friend and I got spiked there a week ago, be careful with your drinks ladies

06/12/2025: The service today 06/12 was dreadful , the two bar staff on had zero observational skill or job coordination - they repeatedly messed up orders , wine was being served in half pint glasses and one person was left waiting over 20mins for a single pint because the bar man had literally forgotten he existed despite taking his order - for a city pub you would expect to have servers who are competent - the most frustrating thing is the fact it wasn’t even that busy and during the day …. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to return , many other pubs close by with great service , a duo of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder would have worked better behind the bar today

28/02/2026: I dine in Thursday 26/07/26. Food was lovely and very reasonable priced. I decided tonight 27/02/26 to treat my family to take out. It worked out more expensive for take out than dine in ????

19/02/2026: We ordered the lunch menu. The food was good, but we were a little hungry, it wasn't enough to be honest

28/10/2025: Great customer service and seating

27/10/2025: Overpriced, Coffee was terrible
