03/06/2025: Staff were so polite and accommodating. Breakfast was delightful, tasty and hot. Will definitely be back
03/06/2025: Comfortable seating, nice environment and tasty food. The eggs are great. My steak is a bit overcooked. It may be because they are cut. The rest is perfect, nice sourdough, nice salad, and nice potato.

Alchemy Coffee and Bookstore
Cork
20/06/2025: Like most places, the experience can depend on when you visit. The first time I visited, it was very busy and the music was loud. I was a little put off then, but there was a potential about the place that I felt I hadn't experienced as it had a clean yet rustic vibe that I loved. The second time I visited, the music was low, and it was quiet with a chilled ambience. The cappuccino was good, and there was water available as well. The seating was very comfortable too. The only question on both visits was the staff were be a little distant.
Overall, I'd definitely visit again.
10/06/2025: A great little cafe with friendly service. We only had a cappuccino and latte macchiato, but they also serve light snacks. There are also dairy-free alternatives. You can also sit outside.

The Shelbourne
Cork
24/06/2025: Great pub! Fun staff and good drinks
16/06/2025: What can I say about this amazing bar? Everything is always top notch, the service, the atmosphere and everything in between. Aoife (my No.1) Rory, Finlay, Jack, Aaron and the rest of the team are absolutely spectacular. Professionally I consistently recommend my visitors to call in here as I know they’ll be looked after 100%…

Scoozi, menu
Cork
24/06/2025: Writing this review is making me want to book a table all over again — the food was outstanding!
The classic lasagne was honestly one of the most delicious I’ve ever had in my life — rich, hearty, and perfectly balanced.
My now-husband had the pasta, which was cooked to perfection. The sauce was a rich tomato with just the right kick of spice.
The pizza had that perfect crispy edge — not too thick, not too thin.
But the star of the show? The Toblerone cheesecake.
As a huge cheesecake fan, I can honestly say I did not want to share. It was creamy, fluffy, and the buttery base crumbled beautifully under the fork.
A truly enjoyable experience — the perfect fun date night.
Highly recommended.
✨ Good vibes
💷 Good value
🍽️ Great food
💑 Fantastic company
22/06/2025: We had a booking here last month for a work dinner. The food was fantastic and the service was brilliant, even with the special touch of the manager having our table decorated for us on arrival. The staff are extremely friendly and the manager on the door is always very accommodating and helpful. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Son of a Bun
Cork
11/06/2025: I am currently here from the States for work. I waited 30 minutes until they opened up. It was well worth the wait! I got The One (no mayo and with cheddar instead of American)with the fries with skin on them which the recommended. Both the burger and fries were so good! Waiter was cordial and good atmosphere. I highly recommend Son of a Bun. Can’t wait until my next visit.
10/06/2025: This guy knows his food and he said it’s the best burger he has ever tasted

09/06/2025: As always food, drink and service was top class. Thank you again.
05/06/2025: It was ok. Nothing to complain about but nothing to write home about either. Probably 3.5/5 but I’ll rate this as a 4 as better to round up then down

Myo Cafe
Cork
20/06/2025: Lovely tidy coffee house with Irish spoken by all staff and a real culture hub of the city. Seating available outdoors and also a lovely brew to be had. ☆☆☆☆☆♡♡♡♡♡☆☆☆☆☆
11/06/2025: I live near this place and occasionally used to go when Coffee Scapes was closed, but I really won’t be going back. The "chai latte" they make is disgusting, I tried it about 6 months ago and went back to see if it was just bad luck, but no, it’s awful, pure ginger that leaves your throat scratching. I had ordered an apple tart, which again, was horrible, very poorly made – it was better to eat a simple apple than the tart.
The place is very nice and the atmosphere is pleasant, by the river and all. But the quality of the coffee they offer and the food has worsened a lot in recent years. It's better to go somewhere else or have something at home.

LovingSalads
Cork
28/05/2025: Delicious salads with plenty of vegan options. I only wish they offered real plates and cutlery instead of disposable when sitting in.
24/05/2025: Recientemente usé Ensaladas Amorosas para la comunión de mis hijos y no puedo recomendarlas lo suficientemente. La comida era absolutamente deliciosa , los tamaños de las porciones eran enormes y había un montón de condimentos proporcionados como extra. Era el tema de conversación del día y Jason era un placer tratar con él. Definitivamente los usaré para todas mis ocasiones familiares. Jason también me proporcionó equipo para mantener la comida caliente, que era tan útil en el día y quitó todo el estrés. No podría estar más feliz con cómo fue todo el día.

Eat at UCC
Cork
19/05/2025: Beautiful and spectacular university campus.
All types of university programs, great atmosphere.
Activities both outdoors and in the classrooms.
Impressive and well-maintained gardens.
Open to the public.
14/05/2025: Nearly impossible to get a helpful or useful interaction. Or a clear and direct answer. I’ll transfer you to another department, who will tell you to email some other department, or to look on the website, it has everything. Emails take ages to get a response, are less than helpful, and usually a repeat of the above. Seriously, if the website had all the information that a person needed, no one would be calling or emailing. Absolutely ridiculous to think that all information can be answered digitally. There will always be questions that need actual conversations to talk through until there is an understanding because the person asking is coming from a different perspective or culture and something doesn’t make sense.
