The best restaurants in Cork city council

09/11/2025: Got asked at the food window about my order, I said "Yes", they gave 5 words of attitude in return. So in return they ain't gonna be getting my future money. Save yourself the hassle and just go to the Mackies in Midleton instead they got nicer staff anyway. just put my fries in the bag bro 💔🥀🥀

01/11/2025: My own experience of my local McDonald’s restaurant has been alright up until recently. It was then revealed to me by a worker there that, despite making assurances to the contrary, McDonald’s is involved both directly and indirectly in both ecocide and genocide. This has permanently altered my experience of dining here. The damage is done and I won’t be returning.

09/07/2025: Best burger around town ! The service was excellent and full of heart and soul!

08/07/2025: Staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Burgers are amazing!!! So tasty.

06/11/2025: Stopped in after visiting Blarney Castle. Was greated by an extremely rude young girl w red hair. Sat us at a table and said she'd be back with menus. Short time later she returned and literally threw the heavy menus down on the table which startled everyone sitting w us. Then she just turned around and walked away. We all looked at each other and said " we are not eating here" and got up. We then returned the menus by throwing them back on the bar. The owners should hire employees that want to work, they lost money because of this young ladies attitude

03/11/2025: We only stayed for drinks, they had a great selection, even got some lovely hot chocolates too. Staff were brilliant and there was a great atmosphere. Unfortunately there wasn't much in the way of vegetarian food options. The one alternative main I saw was offered at the same price as the premium meat option, I didn't really feel they were equal value meals so we went elsewhere to eat. A real shame as we were staying at the hotel and had hoped to have most of our meals here but it did make us explore a little further.

23/11/2025: Saying it's the worst coffee of my life is a compliment because I call it coffee.

16/11/2025: I really like the coffee and the pastries. I am in love with the lemon pie and the pistachio cone. The staff is always cheerful and polite, which makes the experience even better. The only thing I would point out is to be a bit more careful with special requests. More than once I asked for a cappuccino with oat milk and received regular milk instead. Even so, I always come back because mistakes happen and I genuinely like not only the coffee but also the people. 😊

03/12/2025: A tasty bit of food, cooked fresh n well, nice greeting n service. We've been on 2 occasions and would recommend it.

06/11/2025: I got beef Rendang from this place, and I could believe my eyes, it was basically like Thai curry or something. It wasn't beef Rendang at all! Very misleading and just tastes sweet and oily. No flavour whatsoever. Please don't put up items on the menu that you have no idea how to make.

19/10/2025: Dry food Guinness with no head not worth it here rip off

27/07/2025: The best Sechuan in Town! A lot of meat in special and only 12.70. Wow

03/11/2025: Lovely wee restaurant, we got a table straight away and food was amazing. Good range of options, including vegetarian, good portion size and great value set menu. Staff were great and I really loved the decor.

28/10/2025: Good Beef Szechaun, was ready quick too!

15/11/2025: We will definitely eat here again to try more of their dishes. Really tasty & reasonably priced. Portions are pretty spot on too. Server was lovely and helpful as we’d not been there before.

10/11/2025: Delicious food, good price, friendly stuff😊

10/07/2025: Very clean and tidy, efficient and polite staff, dividers in place and a good range of items to choose from.

10/05/2025: Great cafe, excellent staff. Reasonably price, good variety.

19/09/2025: Clean, prompt, good vibe, easy interaction. I'm a fusspot who always makes my own breakfast, and the lady was 100% there for that and everything came out perfectly. Great place for a nice traditional breakfast, 100% happy with the experience.

05/09/2025: A true Irish pub, this one can say is 100% Irish. Irish food is served here, and of course, a full Irish breakfast. I can tell you, after a full Irish breakfast, you don't need food for the rest of the day, but it all depends on how much money you intend to spend. Birthday parties are held here; the pub is huge, so you can do whatever you want.

21/08/2025: I ordered the salmon eggs Benedict with a glass of orange juice on my first visit to this restaurant. Walking in, I was impressed with how lovely the place looked. The décor is modern and stylish, giving it a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to sit and enjoy your meal. The staff were pleasant and polite throughout my visit, though I did feel they could have been a little more attentive at times. Nothing major, but small details, like checking in more often or being quicker with service would have made the experience feel that bit smoother. As for the food, the eggs Benedict was nicely presented and the portion size was just right for a brunch dish. The salmon was fresh, and the eggs were cooked well, though personally I found the overall flavour quite salty, which took away slightly from the enjoyment. The orange juice was delicious and tasted freshly squeezed, but at €4.50 for a small glass, it did feel overpriced compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, it was a pleasant first experience. I’d recommend.

17/05/2025: Lovely menu here always enjoyable, however can’t say the same about the staff. Last three visits they have been strangely rude, so much so that I don’t think I will be returning.

24/05/2025: Surprisingly big bar. Very pleasant staff. Went for a staff night out and had a great time. Great party venue

28/01/2025: Highly professional set up from the moment you enter the door. Fabulous people to deal with. Five star all the way. Paul Ryan.

21/11/2025: One of the top Chinese in Cork City, great food great staff and reliable prices

25/10/2025: Spice bag with 5 bits of batter. Could not call it chicken. 11.50 for basically a bag of chips. RIP OFF

09/11/2025: Really expensive and loads of annoying teenagers inside.

17/09/2025: The girl serving behind the counter was unfriendly, as if she didn’t want to be there and didn’t want to serve us. The milk was served in it’s original 2L jug and again just thrown there almost with words to the effect, if you want some milk here you go. The toilets had just been cleaned but they never replaced the soap and the soap dispenser was completely empty. All of this when the café was practically empty and the staff had not much to do. Never going back there again.

31/07/2025: Always great Entertainment. Very Friendly Staff. Spacious and Clean.
