The best restaurants in Cork city council

04/05/2026: The lady doesn't understand English

07/04/2026: Great place great food, nice selection of food too

08/06/2026: Great place for food and drinks great atmosphere staff are lovely and friendly . They also do a great selection of cocktails. Wings r savage. Nice and spicy if u can handle the heat the chef will gladly give u hotter ones. Which were unreal

16/05/2026: They could improve the ambiance . Tables looked very bare . I couldn't fault the staff or food , but they could do with improving the variety of foods on the menu

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!

27/04/2026: I have been to many kfc all over ireland l, but kfc cork was special experience. Hot food, good service and Dona was polite.Overall good experience 👍👍

03/04/2026: Hi, we came to your store today to find out if you are halal, your staff couldn’t advise us as they didn’t understand, please can you advise if you are halal, thanks.

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.

18/04/2026: Place was full both yesterday and today so we decided to takeaway.

08/04/2026: We visited Lantern House on a busy Saturday evening with a massive group of 20 people, and I cannot thank the staff enough! Even at their peak time, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure our entire group was looked after properly. The service was organized and very welcoming. ​Now, for the food—it was excellent! We truly enjoyed every dish. They have a huge variety on the menu to choose from, and everything served came in generous portions. No one left hungry, that's for sure! ​If you are craving authentic, delicious Chinese food, I highly recommend Lantern House. Whether you're a duo or a large party like us, they really know how to deliver a great meal. ​We will definitely be back!

29/05/2026: Horrible service. lazy and grumpy waiters. The lady didint even want to bring the menu, she just said what they have by heart 😅. nice food tho.

18/04/2026: Really disappointing experience at Suttons Bar & Bistro. We were told they would provide plain pasta for the kids, but what arrived was just bland, unsalted boiled pasta with no care or effort put into it. When we asked for a sauce to go with it, they brought out chilli sauce — completely inappropriate for kids. We were also told the burger would come with cheese and sauce, but instead it was just bread with a few chicken tenders. Completely different from what was described. This was supposed to be a special dinner for my son’s 7th birthday, and it ended up being a real letdown. €95 spent on a meal that didn’t match expectations and spoiled an important evening. I wouldn’t recommend based on our experience.

25/02/2026: Ocean houses food is unbelievable. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else like I would recommend here. Their satay sauce was the nicest thing ever ate. Please try it.

26/10/2025: Quite possibly the worst spice bag I've ever had. No veg in it. Just chips and rock hard shredded chicken. The spice was literally just a powder mix thrown in with the chicken a chips. Terrible quality.

27/03/2026: Restaurant quality with takeaway prices. Always super quick too. The pizza is fire and the calzone is amazing. Always great, huge shoutout to the delivery drivers too as well as the counter staff. Gem of a place really

31/01/2026: Hi I bought a pizza through deliveroo tonight and i received my order with a hair on it. I just want to know what they are going to do about that.

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.

05/11/2025: Externally friendly staff. Nice to have a chat and a laugh with. Great tasting coffee and yummy treats. Thanks guys! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

11/10/2025: there is one guy that works there and holds the whole place up. He's been there for a long time now and I've seen him be the only consistent face there in the last three years. he is absolutely lovely and can't do enough for you , that's only reason you get a second star. for him alone. unfortunately , He wasn't there today when I went instead two employees with their back turned to me completely ignoring me when I asked for something for my order it was a no no sorry we don't have it and no didn't bother to look just NO! I love my other Starbucks this one is trash. the rude guy there today ... just NO

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 .

23/07/2025: Got served elastic and rubbery chicken. curry was just fine. Atmosphere is not hygienic at all and so does the food. Would never recommend.

16/07/2025: Excellent burger! The owner is very welcoming! I recommend it!!

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!

10/07/2025: Very clean and tidy, efficient and polite staff, dividers in place and a good range of items to choose from.

10/05/2025: Great cafe, excellent staff. Reasonably price, good variety.
