The best restaurants in Cork city council

08/06/2026: I had a lovely experience at the Haven Cafe Cork. This spot has a really nice atmosphere, the food was good and the staff were incredibly pleasant and welcoming. Great spot to relax and enjoy a coffee, I would definitely recommend! Thanks guys!

04/06/2026: Wonderfully friendly and kind staff Charlie's Chocolate Cake was delicious! Prices are affordable and kind to your wallet! Felt it was a real sanctuary! Brilliant place! Thankful for it!

08/09/2026: Best fish and chip shop in cork

01/09/2026: Hit and miss with the Blackpool store.Chips were bland,service is always slow and gone very expensive.

21/07/2026: Update 1st December 2024 Thankfully they have improved their ordering method and if you would like you can order at the till to avoid their scan and order method. Unfortunately I was disappointed with my order today. I ordered a spicy rice bowl with two chicken thighs and I was served spicy rice bowl with a flavourless chicken breast. At very first day (somewhere in July) their food was nice, but later we felt that they are not as ,good as it was. Their online ordering system is a hassle. Nandos free WiFi is very slow and it takes more than 20mins to place an order or impossible to place an order via their online system. We get to starve before we get our food everytime we visit there. So, we try to avoid this place now.

11/07/2026: Ive been to Nandos a few times now and I usually have good experience with the staff. There is a lady with black hair and glasses and she comes off as rude to the staff. There is another man Noham I think, I only got a glimpse of his name tag and he is passive aggressive. I hope they can fix this as Nandos is a lovely place.

09/08/2026: The chicken balls which cost €15 had so much batter in them u could make a pancake with it 🤮.

04/07/2026: Our family loves this place and definitely recommend!!

02/08/2026: Giving service less stars as there is no nutritional value on the labels

17/06/2026: The pastries were very good and the prices were very reasonable.

01/08/2026: got my car washed there today a young lad with a baseball hat + black t.shirt. when he was washing it he just used the sponge on the windows + around the booth. didn't use it for Any other part of the car. he just dipped the brush in around the wheels. he washed it off good.

13/04/2026: Very sad that this cafe has now closed down. Breakfast here is excellent quality and value. Very good quality food and at a good price. We will definitely be back here again. It was so nice I had to eat it before I did this review, as you can see from the photo.

21/02/2026: Genuiely the best royal toast in cork. The salmon is excellent, supreme, poached eggs amazing, the potatoes are nicely toasted. It is just my favorite, At one point I kept ordering it everyday for nearly a week on deliveroo. Their Croissant is great too ( coming from a french) its crispy and has a nice buttery flavor. The chocolate muffin is marvelous too. The french toast are.. well. Not everything can be perfect but if other people like it, thats good for the place. Anyway. Best toast.

10/05/2026: Had the most amazing Roast & Warm Korean Chicken Salad. Great service & lovely staff

02/05/2026: The waiters are "dazed", the rest are more or less fine.

11/08/2026: Food is very good, staff very friendly and prices are good, well worth a visit

08/07/2026: Fabulous local chipper, with great staff & reasonable prices. Can get very busy with limited on street parking. Takeaway only

03/08/2026: Delicious sandwich… soup watery a little disappointing. Staff wonderful but under huge pressure. Behind the counter a little messy … tea towel behind counter hanging off the oven looks clean but discoloured. Could do with more staff. V noisy & music loud!

28/07/2026: I'd definitely recommend this fabulous hidden gem of a cafe in Douglas Court. The food is just so fresh and real and I always feel energised after eating here. I love their protein balls, scones on occasion, lunch options such as various chicken sourdough sandwiches and halloumi flatbeeads which are served on their own or with a soup or salad option. Their new coffee is fab too. So whether you are catching up with a friend, want the watch the world go by or are taking a break from.your busy day, definitely pop in. Great snacks, drink options, breakfasts, smoothies, lunches and more. They carry an array of healthy tasty foods and drinks Mary Carmody Nutritionist

18/04/2026: Great preformance by ryan gosling. A long film but i managed to stay engaged throughout. Thank you

16/03/2026: Arty's bar is the place to go in ballincollig for a great pint, great atmosphere and live music. The customers range in all ages and nationality and are always up for a chat and a laugh and are only bettered by the staff that work there. Seamus, Aiden and Deirdre give a great welcome and even better service. This is one of the few real pubs left in ballincollig that are not trying to be something else.

20/08/2026: Wonderful place to visit when in or around the Shandon area

08/08/2026: Lovely pub run by an absolute legend. Cork institution through and through

03/07/2026: Little gem of a place. Worst thing is, making up your mind on what to have. Lucky I don't live near it. I'd be there every day.

17/06/2026: The best bakery in town, hands down!The sourdough bread is absolutely top-tier—perfectly crusty on the outside and airy on the inside. You can really tell they use traditional methods. Everything is baked fresh, and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming.It is the perfect spot for a morning coffee and a treat. Cannot recommend this place enough!
