The best restaurants in Cork city council

26/11/2025: Shocking. Too small for cars to park or drive. The floor was slippy everywhere.

09/11/2025: Terrible service, made an order online, they didn’t deliver fries and a burger.

29/10/2025: Would recommend for late night boogies. See photo of my friends and I having fun @ An Bróg :)

28/10/2025: Great lively place with lovely food.

07/12/2025: (Traducido por Google) O quién dosent amor mc donalds YUM (Original) O who dosent love mc donalds YUM

04/12/2025: I came to McDonald’s today to eat a Big Tasty, and what I got was basically a small burger. Honestly, I’m extremely disappointed. Why keep the word “Big” in the name if the burger is no longer big? It’s smaller than a double cheeseburger now. The Big Tasty used to be large and satisfying — now it’s just a tiny bun with some sauce. The fries were another disappointment. They used to be long, crispy, and delicious. Today I received a box of short, broken pieces — dry, soggy, and looking like leftovers. It’s frustrating to see the quality drop so much. I paid for a proper Big Tasty and ended up with a downsized version and awful fries. I really hope management takes this seriously and brings back the original size and quality. Right now — a solid one star.

01/09/2025: The bartender is a sight to behold! Effective and highly professional. We stopped by because it was on our way home and thought we'd have the "second to last" one. The atmosphere was masculine and, above all, older... But it was worth it.

08/08/2025: I adored O'Driscolls. Ben the barman was accommodating knowledgeable and welcoming. I saw him, several times remember anything order that the punter had forgotten themselves. I had great conversations with the customers, over several nights. Its such a great pub. I'd recommend it to anyone. Brilliant

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

21/11/2025: I really enjoy coming here for coffee and toast, it’s one of my favorite spots. Recently, though, I’ve noticed things seem a bit busier than usual. There’s often just one barista serving with a queue forming, and a few tables waiting to be cleaned, which made me leave the last two times I tried to stop by. It’s still a great place with great coffee; just wanted to share in case the team might be a bit short-staffed lately.

17/11/2025: The drinks and food are really good, but from what I’ve seen, the cafe is chronically understaffed. I often see trainee baristas left on their own to deal with long queues of customers. There are lots of opportunities here to improve service. There should be a minimum of two baristas at the counter.

20/03/2025: Very friendly and relaxed.just sit and chill out .no pressure whatsoever to leave x

18/02/2025: Decent food, good coffee (my espresso was well dialed in). The server was excellent. Great attitude

23/11/2025: Don't go here if you're hungry. Went here during the week, was met by extremely small plates, very expensive for what you get, zero presentation and little to no flavour. The place itself is lovely and has a lovely vibe, but we had to go elsewhere for food after we left. Won't ever be returning for food.

05/10/2025: The food here is top notch. I was there for the Sunday Brunch. loads of interesting choices

24/07/2025: Very good coffee is drunk here with some very good snacks, although everything is very good, breakfast, lunch and snacks, the competition is very fierce here in the city of Cork in relation to cafes and snack bars. A few years ago, you didn't see a cafe, so to speak!!! Now they are everywhere. What I mean is that this cafe called Noir has to create its brand, its specialty, so that people are interested and identify with it. I hope it stays open for a long time and I wish you the best of luck in its development.

Although everything is very good – breakfast, lunch, and snacks – the competition is very high here in Cork regarding cafes and snack bars. A few years ago, you wouldn't see a cafe like this anywhere else, so to speak! Now they're everywhere.

I hope it stays open for a long time and I wish it the best of luck in its future endeavors.

09/11/2025: Great value and the best vegan chicken satay!

23/10/2025: No hate but why did our 4 in 1 look like this. Chicken was bad too I almost choked it was like play dough

15/10/2025: Do not go here for breakfast. Can't vouch for the evenings here or the pints. The breakfast was shocking, unfortunately one of the few places open on Sunday morning. Do yourself a favour & go Tara's instead. Everything was under or over cooked, asked for some tomatoes instead of mushrooms. They brought me a cold sliced bit of tomato. Service poor, didn't clear our table. Pumping the diddly at 10:30am, come on. The worst cup of tea I've ever been served in Ireland

13/10/2025: Staff were excellent. Bacon and cabbage was top notch. Never waiting for a pint. Beamish was exceptional. Bravo

16/08/2025: 20 plus years ago I remember this place being thee place to get a takeaway. A few weeks ago I decided to try it out again . I parked outside Richies van first and then decided to go to Looneys where I had many a fine meal in my 20s (25 plus years ago ) . I have to honestly say it was the worst takeaway I have ever had in my 50 years on this earth . Rotten greasy wet battered fish . Burnt chips with bits of raw batter attached . Absolutely disgusting. And trust me I'm not picky when it comes to takeaway food . I will never darken the door of this place again as long as I live .

15/07/2025: Very friendly staff food lovely 😍

12/10/2025: Kudos to Josie! Josie was such a kind and helpful server — so attentive, friendly, and thoughtful. I wish more café staff were like her. She truly made our day!

13/07/2025: I don't know why, but the coffee here always tastes like crap. I don't know if it is the batista or just this Starbucks as if I get the drink in another Starbucks, it tastes fantastic.

14/09/2025: A wonderful first time experience, the food, service and dining area was exceptional. The best chinese food I've had, good size portions and reasonable prices.

26/07/2025: Great family restaurant with delicious food and welcoming staff

20/07/2025: I ordered the "kebab box" from this establishment and got a small box mostly filled with chips. I returned to the shop to tell them I didn't order chips and that chips were not in the description of the "kebab box" only to be told that of course chips are included in the kebab box. Doesn't seem logical to me, would avoid.

24/05/2025: The pepperoni pizza was of really good quality. As the pizza sauce had a nice, smoky flavour, which I liked. They weren't mean with the toppings, as there was plenty of cheese and pepperoni on my 10 inch pizza. The pizza was delivered on time and the two ladies delivering also were really kind, as they were smiling, which means that they have good service. I gave 0 starts for the atmosphere, as I got delivery and I haven't actually been to the restaurant, which will be unfair to rate it, so I just left it at 0 stars.
