The best restaurants in Cork city council

27/06/2025: I'm a regular here and have always been a fan of their doner. Got the doner last week and it was a greasy mess. Thought it was a one time thing. Had doner again last night and its just awful. doesnt even taste like meat anymore. Don't know what happened here lads.

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

21/01/2026: Very organized, pleasant, clean place with excellent service and top-notch food.

19/01/2026: Fabulous welcome, great food, really lovely friendly obliging staff. Great atmosphere, will definitely go back again and again

14/09/2025: Such a lovely atmosphere. Wine was fantastic. Lovely vibe with the candles and music. Absolutely no complaints.

10/08/2025: Wonderful wine bar, been a favourite place of mine for years. Fantastic wine list, lovely atmosphere and the hosts are always so welcoming.

15/09/2025: After leaving west cork early this morning and in need of a light snack 😋 I had a spiced beef sandwich on gloriously fresh bread. The native Barry's Tea to accompany my sandwich. Lovely little seats at the stall so ate and watched the world go by. Absolutely delicious food and a huge selection on display. I highly recommend. It's located within the historic English market which was rather busy so it was good to see that too.

28/08/2025: Lovely open air deli sandwich stall, seating included on the end comfortable cozy bar stools and foot rest. Wonderful staff caring attentive to orders and all ways ask how you’re doing. Would definitely come back again and again. Best sandwich’s in town 🥪🫶🏼

21/12/2025: Fabulous place in Cork. Our waiter could not have been nicer, the food was delicious & the restaurant was beautiful. It’s a hidden gem & we will definitely be back!!!

23/11/2025: I had a very disappointing experience at Sultan Café in Cork. The staff member who served us was rude and arrogant throughout our visit, and his behaviour felt unwelcoming and borderline discriminatory. Definitely not the kind of treatment any customer deserves. Thanks for the response — it actually proves my point better than my review ever could. Telling customers ‘do not come back again’ is shocking behaviour for a café operating in Ireland, where basic hospitality and respect are expected. Instead of addressing the issue, you doubled down with arrogance and blame. If this is how you treat people publicly, I can only imagine how you behave in person. I hope future customers see this attitude and think twice before visiting.”

28/09/2025: Great bar fantastic down to earth staff. Great place to go for a pint on your own or with friends.

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.

22/09/2025: Great spot pa the piper Great character of bar

11/09/2025: Great local Pub! Small, intimate and friendly. I would highly recommend. Better than so many other Pubs listed as must see.

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

04/01/2026: Always very clean, staff are so helpful and friendly.

24/12/2025: Quality control needs improvement. Wrong order in three different occasions :-(

21/12/2025: Got the wrong order, when I called the shop the women was so rude it was a joke, she said she would get the food sent back when I asked how long as the chips are gonna be cold by the time my burger came she replied with “well we have to remake a new one and wait for a driver to get back from his other delivery so I can’t give you a time” the attitude and customer service was so disappointing.

27/11/2025: Staff here are always very hostile and curt in general, they are grand with their buddies and regulars but everyone else is made to feel “what are you doing here vibe” it’s borderline aggressive at times! puts me off ordering, only that I like the quality of the food! Just remember without customers (old and new) you don’t have a job!

11/12/2025: Tadhg Crowley gave extreme high quality service would come again great hair love him ❤️‍🩹

08/12/2025: Went have to have dinner, excellent food and even better service with tadhg serving me. Couldn’t ask for any better

11/01/2026: The only Chinese I'll go to. Satay is the best in cork, prices are really good and portions are unreal

19/09/2025: Chips were okay, warm but not the best, the chicken was horrible, and I genuinely cannot stress that enough it came cold sort of, and some of it was crispy but majority of the pieces were half soggy which is disgusting and I couldn’t eat it.
