The best restaurants in Cork city council

23/12/2025: I bought a chicken burger thing, and a chunk of lettuce was wrapped in someone’s long dark hair. I have short hair myself so that could not have belonged to me. Absolutely repulsive. Get your workers to wear hair nets. Especially the ones with longer hair.

07/12/2025: Chicken breast sandwich with cheese abd bacon meal was fabulous 👌

31/10/2025: Great value ..lovely chips and pies also spicey chips and veg .

23/09/2025: Great food great prices . Good service.

02/01/2026: Terrifying Security !!!! We chose this place for New Year’s Eve because we wanted to sit quietly with friends, have a few drinks, and chat. The atmosphere inside was lovely and I genuinely liked it. However, we were sitting outside while waiting for the rest of our friends to arrive. I ordered a beer, and when one of our friends arrived, we were chatting in our own language. At that point, the security guard outside told him that this was not a free house that it was his property, and that he could not sit there unless he was drinking alcohol. So our friend got up, ordered a drink, and we continued waiting and talking. One of our friends did not drink alcohol because he had to go to work later. Everyone else at the table already had drinks. Despite this, the security guard approached us and told him, “If you’re not going to drink, get out of here. You can’t sit here.” Our friend calmly explained that he wasn’t drinking because he was starting work, but the security guard rudely replied, “That’s not my problem. Get out of here, you can’t sit here.” When we questioned his behavior, he insisted he wasn’t being rude, claimed the bar was his property, and then told all of us to leave. As a result, we left without even finishing the drinks we had already ordered. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. We were simply a group of four friends who wanted to sit together, chat, and have a drink. Because of the security guard’s rude and discriminatory attitude, I will never return to this place.

21/12/2025: The bouncer Ger was incredibly rude to me and my friend. Wouldn’t want to repeat it. Wouldn’t recommend going here!

11/01/2026: Great burritos, love the new hot and smokey sauce

30/12/2025: A great burrito all round. The staff are very nice and efficient. 10/10 would burrito again.

23/12/2025: Very disappointed with my take away order. Ordered two adults meals and a kids meal . 44 euro. The kids meal came with two ! small burned chicken goujons, doggy rice and a few shavings of veg for 8.80 euro. Other take ways in the area are a lot better value and tastier. Don't order here for a kids menu. Rang them to complain, they said the goujons were fresh!

09/11/2025: It has to be a hardworking Chinese person. There aren't many places offering food by 2 PM. The owner repeatedly confirmed that the menu was only in English, was that okay? I ordered pad thai with beef. I also ordered fried shrimp cakes as a snack, such a familiar taste. The pad thai was a modified version, but it was still pretty good. After all, to cater to locals, the flavors need to be adjusted; if it's too authentic, it won't be successful. The owner was also very friendly and chatted a lot. I wish her great success in her business.

27/07/2025: Microwed shrimps, old bread. Not recommended

21/06/2025: The sangria is good! We didn’t try any of the food just went for drinks and the vibes were good

14/10/2025: The sushi is usually nice. The ramen is so bad. Sorry I hate saying it as the staff are really nice but no way would I return for the Ramen

28/09/2025: I ordered the pork and miso ramen, food was great and staff was lovely. I’ll be definitely coming back soon!

05/07/2025: BLT on sourdough is a thing of beauty.

13/03/2025: The service was incredibly pleasant. All the staff were very friendly and it really added to the nice atmosphere! I got the wrap of the day (teriyaki chicken wrap) and I devoured it. It was absolutely delicious. Would definitely come here again! 10/10

01/01/2026: On New Year’s Eve, we were deliberately ignored for over 10 minutes while staff happily served everyone who arrived after us. We only got any attention once we called them out on it. The service felt blatantly discriminatory — unless you’re Brazilian, don’t expect to be treated properly. The staff’s attitude was arrogant, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. Easily one of the worst bar experiences I’ve had. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this place altogether.

26/10/2025: Best parties, best drinks, best staff ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

15/01/2026: Absolutely Gorgeous Food 😋 Wow !!! Just Wow 🤤 yummy, yummy 💯 Affordable prices too 👌🏻 Absolutely recommend 🙃 Ty for reading 🫶🏻

14/01/2026: Really good food served here, different types of burritos (wrapped, bowls, etc), and different meat types (including vegetarian). The staff are lovely to deal with, and are helpful when you ask questions with the food, making good suggestions. Servings are plenty big, and everything can be customized to just how you want it. The seating is okay upstairs, maybe not too suitable for thise with limited mobility, as the seats are more like benches, so you have to be able to lift your legs up and over to sit. Additionally the stairs are quite steep going up and down, and the stairs to the 2nd floor with the bathrooms has a loose handrail, and the floor boards are split and the steps quite uneven, so big caution is needed! Moreover (at least for the men's bathroom), they are in a not too good condition. They are clean, every time I have been there, but the hand dryer is broken, the soap is often empty, and singular stall door cannot close and has to be left open, and the light in the stall does not work, so you NEED the door open haha. Overall amazing value for the food, but the seating choices and restroom conditions should be addressed.

16/08/2025: We went for dinner and it was closed. Their website said they closed at midnight.

21/12/2025: Used to be unreal but has fallen off the last few times I've had it.

25/11/2025: Seems expensive for loaded fries but personally I think it’s great value considering it’s all fresh and keeps you so full and very generous with the meat portion also something different to your average chips place with its funky flavours highly recommend

02/01/2026: Lovely place for a group dinner/lunch or outings. The food was nice, music is a bit loud for my taste, but I know everyone is different. We had a lovely Christmas party there. Recommended.

04/12/2025: A very overpriced bar, the draught beer is exceedingly expensive and not great quality. It is hard to get a bad pint of stout these days, however the courtyard consistently manages to. Food is expensive and nothing special.

23/12/2025: A little haven in the heart of the city

21/12/2025: Extremely overpriced...5 euro for a regular oat milk latte. The coffee id fine if generic.....I've had stronger instant coffee. I also got a muffin and ig must have been a few days ikdbas it was a little stale.

06/12/2025: The food here is amazing I love the crispy fried beef and the beef fried rice - worth going out of your way for!

08/11/2025: Very nice food, Trisha is always welcoming and polite 🤗 I love to eat here.
