The best restaurants in Cork city council

02/04/2025: The lads have no clue what’s going on they’re trying their best , but Sebastian is taking way too long with my order.

31/03/2025: I wasn't very happy because when I ordered I paid extra for meat.I got two corners of prons for €4 I will never go to you, they are robbing you of your food. I'm not alone, my friend, you want to complain about not enough meat?

04/09/2025: Went for lunch today €13.90 for a drink and mains , omg the mains was actually a child’s portion, tiny bit of rice very small amount of chips and small bowl of curry , won’t be going again , a good way of losing customers.

31/08/2025: The food did not match the succulent pictures in the dog-eared and sticky menu. We were the only ones in the restaurant which should have made us turn on our heels. The prawns were barely discernible and the duck was dry (shredded) and the skin limp, not crispy and not as depicted in the menu (succulent duck leg with glistening crispy skin). The service was with a forced fletching smile eager to get us out before closing time at ten PM.

08/07/2025: Got mixed veg fried rice and onion rings would definitely get again .

25/05/2025: Best bar for students with table games, activities and nice atmosphere. Sure with good prices

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.

27/07/2025: Basic fare , mostly seafood menu, average pricing, friendly staff and bookings probably needed at peak as the restaurant not too big. People with reduced mobility won't have any problems.

25/07/2025: Ambiente in bella posizione, accogliente, personale attento e premuroso, piatti ben preparati e abbondanti, prezzi in linea col livello del ristorante in Irlanda

05/10/2025: Excellent food, pints and atmosphere, but the service is really bad :(

05/10/2025: A very good pub, very well-known here in Cork. The day begins in the morning, serving coffee, breakfast, and brunch, serving food practically every day. It's a huge pub with plenty of seats and high-quality food, with a large terrace, which is where I usually go when it's sunny. The service and staff are all good. During the day, when night falls, the frisky whiskey transforms into live music at night, sometimes with DJs. Like on Saturday nights, the house is full again. A very good atmosphere, middle-aged, where everyone enjoys a good time relaxing. I highly recommend it here; you're welcomed and everything is very good.

28/10/2025: Lovely place, very quiet and perfect for a coffee break. The only thing to improve would be the hot chocolate, a little lukewarm for my taste — it would be even better piping hot!

23/10/2025: I ordered the Falafel Wrap- the salad and the vegetables were stale and when I informed the staff they couldn’t care less. Would never recommend. 0/10

14/09/2025: Not a very busy pub, the food was mediocre and bland, service alright and general atmosphere friendly. The Irish Open Golf was being played and busy with golf enthusiasts.

22/06/2025: Very nice pub. Nice food and excellent friendly staff. The manager went out of his way to get a game we wanted to see on TV. Thank you longboats. PS they serve super quality beer.

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.

12/10/2025: Brilliant location lovely staff 10/10. No bottled water in the room though so definitely bring some if intending on having a big night! Can be bought from reception however 😁🙌

09/10/2025: Very close to city centre, train station or bus station. Nice Irish Breakfast.

17/09/2025: Called in at 7.30am for a coffee. The staff are so friendly even though it was so early.. the coffee was great 👍

21/07/2025: Nice Starbucks, but there is a smell of stale milk when you come in. Staff can be a little distracted and not notice you’re there and a bit slow. The toilets could do with a clean also.

19/08/2025: Poorly prepared food, drink only 70% full, napkins and straw omitted. Was once an excellent drive through. Sadly has gone down hill on quality control and organisation.

13/08/2025: The Limited Edition Sprite with Green apple and Sprite with Mango Passionfruit, looks far from the advertisment and the taste is very ordinary. This is all I can say about this visit.

01/09/2025: Still chewing the beef 2 hours later and still half left

31/05/2025: Always lovely but getting a bit expensive

14/09/2025: Stopped by for dessert and coffee, great cheesecake and atmosphere. Steaks looked great but will have to try next time👍😋

29/06/2025: We just called in for a quick drink. It is quite large and spacious, no problem getting a seat. We didn't have food so I can't comment on that. Really nice place.
