The best restaurants in Cork city council

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

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

19/11/2025: Super bar. Came down from Belfast and a friend recommended this place - did not disappoint. Pints were great, staff were sound and I could have stayed for hours more for the music alone! Will absolutely be back again.

17/07/2025: Super place for a match, a chat, a laugh and one of the best pints of guinness in Cork! Great staff too!!

23/11/2025: Don't go here if you're hungry. Went here during the week, was met by extremely small plates, very expensive for what you get, zero presentation and little to no flavour. The place itself is lovely and has a lovely vibe, but we had to go elsewhere for food after we left. Won't ever be returning for food.

05/10/2025: The food here is top notch. I was there for the Sunday Brunch. loads of interesting choices

27/06/2025: I'm a regular here and have always been a fan of their doner. Got the doner last week and it was a greasy mess. Thought it was a one time thing. Had doner again last night and its just awful. doesnt even taste like meat anymore. Don't know what happened here lads.

08/07/2025: Great place to go for a drink friendly owners and staff plenty of space there

08/07/2025: Over for the Celtic/Cork City bar and it's way too far out making a bit of a trek. Ok.

13/11/2025: Cute little place with good coffee and good food. Service is fast and efficient. I love their overnight oats dish.

22/10/2025: Wonderful scone with a very tasty (probably homemade) jam + fresh orange juice!

09/08/2025: Food and Coffee was nice. What was brilliant was the service from Jess ( I believe her name was). She was very welcoming and kind. Atmosphere in the place was nice and chill too.

15/07/2025: Nice place, plenty of seating, friendly staff but over priced for what's on off

07/12/2025: Had a coffee this morning, coffee was good but service......not a hello, thank you or goodbye, so sad 😢

27/10/2025: I was in Cork for one day and found this spot on reddit. It was the best iced coffee I've had in Ireland in six months. Very good!

15/09/2025: After leaving west cork early this morning and in need of a light snack 😋 I had a spiced beef sandwich on gloriously fresh bread. The native Barry's Tea to accompany my sandwich. Lovely little seats at the stall so ate and watched the world go by. Absolutely delicious food and a huge selection on display. I highly recommend. It's located within the historic English market which was rather busy so it was good to see that too.

28/08/2025: Lovely open air deli sandwich stall, seating included on the end comfortable cozy bar stools and foot rest. Wonderful staff caring attentive to orders and all ways ask how you’re doing. Would definitely come back again and again. Best sandwich’s in town 🥪🫶🏼

21/06/2025: Came in for a drink tonight and was met with arrogance from barmaid she was not polite to us but was very friendly to her regulars

04/06/2025: Cozy pub with friendly service and a good beer selection. I only had a drink here.

20/09/2025: I haven’t had coffee anywhere else but Costa for a long time, but I have to say this: your team is really very amateur. Maybe it’s not their fault, but they do everything wrong. I just wanted to let you know :) If you’d like, I can help you with this free of charge :) Because this is not normal.

29/08/2025: I've been a Costa customer for many years, especially this one. I often compare going to Costa for a coffee, or espresso, to going to church on Sundays. The difference is that it's become a routine here to go every day in the late afternoon, catch up with colleagues, and spend a couple of hours here at Costa. It has a beautiful terrace, and inside, there are many tables. The staff are all professionals, but they don't wait on tables. You can use the Wi-Fi, after all. It's a place to have a good time and a meeting point. I wish you the best of luck and many years of success.

17/03/2026: Overpriced and doesn’t deliver to city centre.

19/02/2026: I would say the seat next to the window makes me feel great, food is just standard compared with other Chinese

28/09/2025: Great bar fantastic down to earth staff. Great place to go for a pint on your own or with friends.

01/09/2025: The bartender is a sight to behold! Effective and highly professional. We stopped by because it was on our way home and thought we'd have the "second to last" one. The atmosphere was masculine and, above all, older... But it was worth it.

23/11/2025: Saying it's the worst coffee of my life is a compliment because I call it coffee.

16/11/2025: I really like the coffee and the pastries. I am in love with the lemon pie and the pistachio cone. The staff is always cheerful and polite, which makes the experience even better. The only thing I would point out is to be a bit more careful with special requests. More than once I asked for a cappuccino with oat milk and received regular milk instead. Even so, I always come back because mistakes happen and I genuinely like not only the coffee but also the people. 😊
