The best restaurants in Cork city council

26/08/2025: Great food and great service. Thanks!

23/08/2025: A very good pub. Friendly staff. I can't say much about live music because we went in the middle of the afternoon. Recommended.

08/09/2025: The guys working at star pizza and grill are so friendly!! I have gotten delivery from them multiple times and each time I am well impress with the service. Keep up the good work star pizza and grill, 5 stars from me and John Galvin

07/09/2025: Best place ever ... beautiful food

29/08/2025: Lovely bar in Cork serving Beamish, Murphy's and Guinness and other drinks. Very relaxed, very good value

11/08/2025: Nice atmosphere. We were just there for a beer.

31/07/2025: Staff were lovely, the salad was Devine and very well packed so you get a good meal for 7€ (I got a large salad bowl). Can't fault it really 👍

19/07/2025: Incredibile prices and delicious food! Staff is very friendly

10/08/2025: Great food! I had the seafood ramen, very tasty and full of ingredients. I also ordered sushi roll: big portion and really good. Everything was amazing.

06/08/2025: The waiter was very funny, and the robot too!! And we loved the food!

12/09/2025: We recently held lunch after a Christening in the Castle Cafe. The staff were very helpful beforehand and very attentive on the day. Food was delicious. We were given a section of the cafe to allow for buggies and highchairs. Really appreciated the helpfulness of the staff. Many thanks.

12/09/2025: One of tje best culinary experiences I've had in a while. I always thought that the sister restaurant, market lane is the best, but this one is right up there if not better. Food is excellent and so extraordinary. The tastes, not your usual ones, are something that I'll be thinking for a long time after. Super noce and friendly staff. And no need to talk about the surrounding. Highly recommended!

11/08/2025: The bartender was very attentive, he recommended beers that I didn't know and the truth is that they were very good and the place had a very good atmosphere.

25/07/2025: Great beer garden, had a good time with my mates here. No vegan pizza option or I missed it 🥹. Staff was super chilled!

17/06/2025: Service slow but great selection. Will be back.

13/06/2025: Great selection of beers Local ones and international ones. Large selection on table.

30/08/2025: The coffee here is great, and the sweets and cakes are just as lovely, but what really makes this place special is the people. Their warmth and kindness are nicer than anything you could buy. It’s the kind of spot where you can sit back, relax, and truly enjoy your evening. I love coming here, it’s my favorite place in town to sit and chat with friends.

19/08/2025: CoffeeScape is one of my favourite cafes in Cork. You can sit inside with plenty of space and a good atmosphere for working and meeting people or outside next to the river. There is a wide selection of pastries including many croatian desserts - all for a good price compared to other cafes. The service is also very kind and friendly.

16/08/2025: We went on a team night out and the place and atmosphere of this place is class. It might look very small at the outside but very big on the inside.Their servers was very approachable and accommodating as well. Food was ok for me. I would say my expectations were a little bit not met. For a 30-40 euro steak, I would have expected that the steak is at least seasoned which was not. The sharing platter as well was a little bit small for me. I expected at least a couple of meats and more cheese on a meat and cheese board but as you can see on the picture that’s their sharing board and you can see on the menu how much that is. My teammates enjoyed their veggie board and they were delighted with the taste. Their desert was great as well. Overall still a good experience. Just get your wallets ready as food can be pricey.

12/08/2025: Calm atmosphere Homemade cuisine and quality dishes, carefully prepared. Balanced meal. Attentive staff. I highly recommend it 😇

19/08/2025: Good healthy food, friendly staff and atmosphere - intimate. Indoor and outdoor seating

12/08/2025: That cake… Unfortunately, or fortunately, I live in Dublin and I can’t have it every day. Simply delicious. And as an Italian, the cappuccino was pretty good!

04/08/2025: Very busy pizza kitchen at the Franciscan Well Brewery. Lively and busy atmosphere when visited midweek in summer. Very good pizza with great flavoursone toppings, but you have to get into a queue to order.

04/08/2025: Ordered two pizzas on Deliveroo. N'duja is fine, though every second slice has the n'duja which was a bit scabby. The Bianco pizza has potato on it that is massively undercooked. We've had to pick the potato off as a result which was wasteful. Other issue is that the bases here aren't crispy at all. It's very gloopy and doughy. Think they're banging these out without properly cooking. Major shame as the quality of the toppings (bar the raw potato) are really good.

04/09/2025: Friendly staff … great ambience…

30/08/2025: Great food and drink and friendly staff

26/08/2025: Fabulous spot. Good is delicious and staff are great. Undoubtedly certain items are very overpriced, for example, kids pancakes (one small pancake!!) at €7.90, is robbery. So consider your budget before going here. That said, main meals, are well thought out and full of fresh flavors.

24/08/2025: What a hidden gem that we are so glad we found! Beautiful location, friendly staff and delicious food. Was a great find after struggling a bit with plant-based options elsewhere.

02/09/2025: Very nice ambience and unexpectedly delicious food

30/08/2025: The food we ordered was full of flavour - some real comfort food. It had the feeling of a traditional Irish bar but with a more modern twist; I can imagine the high ceilings lend it well to the live music (unfortunately we were not around to hear any at the time). The service was faultless; super quick but we didn’t feel rushed. We therefore had plenty of time to finish our meal and our Beamish before heading to the airport to fly home!
