The best restaurants in Cork city council

23/07/2025: I was here for a work function, and everything was great, food, service, people, and location. Food is on the higher end in terms of cost, but quality matched it. Recommend a visit!!!

23/07/2025: A great spot for many a year in Cork. Still fab.

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

02/08/2025: Nos hablaron de DAN Lowery sirve un gran Guinness, y no nos decepcionó. Un caballero de la tienda de ropa Saville Men’s recomendó esta taberna como un lugar donde siempre lleva a su madre cuando está en Cork. El barman era un propietario perfecto, tuvimos una gran charla después del Lyon v Australia Rugby y recomiendo encarecidamente esta taberna como un buen sabor de Cork. Gracias por hacer que mi esposa y yo nos sintamos tan bienvenidos e incluidos.

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.

02/08/2025: Genuinely my favourite place to get a delicious coffee/snack in the city. The staff are so lovely and welcoming. Lovely spot by the river on a sunny day. Would definitely recommend.

01/08/2025: Such friendly staff, good coffee, cozy atmosphere!!!

05/07/2025: Great stuff, the pizza was amazing

05/07/2025: Big beautiful boys here, incredibly generous and righteous men, very grateful. Thank God for these fabulous boyos inshallah

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!

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!

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

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.

04/08/2025: 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.

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!

01/07/2025: In Ireland, this restaurant and its sister restaurant, Ichigo Ichie, are the only places where you can eat proper Japanese food. Whatever you eat, it never disappoints. There's a line before the restaurant opens every weekend, but it's worth the wait. I've been to this restaurant many times since it opened, and it's amazing how the quality hasn't changed even after the owner chef moved to the sister restaurant. This time I ordered shrimp bukkake soba to go. It was delicious as always.

30/06/2025: Best Japanese food in Cork for sure 😊

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.

20/07/2025: Excellent bar for trad sessions

10/07/2025: An amazing real Irish pub...great staff a great experience

12/08/2025: Really enjoyed here, nice vibe to the place. We stopped in here for dinner and a few beers. Fish and chips was delicious, lovely light batter. Also had the steak, it was perfect although with a €4 surcharge it was quite small. Servers were very friendly and easy going. Would definitely return again.

11/08/2025: Yum. Irish stew 🍲. A+ Lovely atmosphere and nice seats. Cozy for inner-city lunch dining.
