The best restaurants in Cork city council

20/10/2026: In town for just 2 days and had to go here twice! Pastries were so good and fresh and the service was very good as well!

09/10/2026: Stale croissant and a watery latte for 6.40??

20/07/2026: We recently ordered food from Heaven Pizza for our daughters party. Staff were so helpful and kind. We went for the Party Package 2 (6 x 16" pizzas, 4 x chips, 4 x goujons and 3 bottles of chosen drinks, and dips. Such amazing value for €110. They delivered to our house on the day and everyone complimented the food. We will definitely be going to Heaven Piza again. Thank you for all your help! 😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

18/03/2026: I was waiting nearly 2 hours and then the delivery driver came and he was really disrespectful and tried to scam me of my money

18/08/2026: Lovely chinese, sadly extremely hostile delivery driver on more than one occasion. Sad to see it

03/08/2026: Food delivery usually takes 2hours.

03/10/2026: For the 5th time I've gone home opened my familys food order to something missing. At this point it's my own fault for going to McDonald's at this stage.

30/09/2026: As i was having my meal i noticed how rude, bossy and disrespectful the tall woman who i believe to be a manager is to the staff , feel bad for the workers there.

26/09/2026: The japanese curry was very disappointing. It wasn't a classic japanese curry, but some weak curry... Wasted money. You guys haven't heard of Golden curry cubes obviously 😭

27/08/2026: Me and the boys loved the food. Top form

18/10/2026: Great service, very attentive staff. The food was fresh with very generous portions. Would definitely go back!

15/10/2026: Very professional and friendly staff Delicious food, excellent value for money.

02/10/2026: In short, it's a kind and friendly shop in the countryside! The female staff member was wonderfully kind!

20/09/2026: Large bar. Lively in a central location

14/08/2026: Great portion sizes, lovely staff

24/07/2026: I’ve enjoyed Zambrero in the past, although I’ve always felt the food is a little overpriced for what you get. Unfortunately, my last two visits have been really disappointing. On both occasions, I stood waiting at the counter for over five minutes while both members of staff focused solely on preparing Deliveroo orders. I completely understand that delivery orders need to be fulfilled, but it’s unacceptable to ignore customers who are standing right in front of you without even a simple acknowledgment or “we’ll be with you shortly.” Both times, I ended up leaving without ordering. I’ve also found the staff at this particular branch to be generally unfriendly. On a previous visit, I was asked if I wanted extras without being told they came at an additional cost until I got to the till. When I paid extra for guacamole, the portion was so small it hardly seemed worth it. After having the same experience twice in a row, I’ve decided I won’t be returning. A little customer service and basic acknowledgment would go a long way.

23/07/2026: On Thursday 23/7/26 my partner and I rambled in to Hoggies. We were walking into town and decided to stop for 1. What we experienced from the "barman" on duty was both embarrassing and degrading!!! We weren't drunk or argumentative. We were dressed neatly. I went to the bathroom while my partner called the drinks. When I returned the barman asked where we came from. Bare in mind we were known by a few lads at the counter who know us to be decent hardworking people. We told him we were from knocknaheeny and we were having a bit of banter between us. He put down the glass and said " not today". Lads No reason given. This is a disgrace. He profiled us because we were from a certain part of this city. We are not going to let this rest and are most definitely going to take this further. It was extremely embarrassing for both of us.

02/08/2026: No cards taken at drive through, noone answered the drive through ordering station so had to wait until I got to the window, and then wait for the food

12/07/2026: Very Dirty where you eat my experience never clean food great staff lovely

19/07/2026: Ricky was amazing! He was very enthusiastic and cheerful and explained all the donuts in great detail. He could not have have been more helpful on this lovely sunny day. He made these three cork cailíns day so much better !

17/07/2026: The staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful but the worker on earlier this afternoon was especially lovely! Unfortunately we never got their name, but many thanks from the two girls desperate for a donut!

26/09/2026: Was in the queue for 5 mins and still saw nobody got served even with 2 people behind the counter, so I just left. Terrible Starbucks

05/08/2026: Amaizing place to have coffee and a snack!

24/07/2026: I've never been to a coffee shop that has never heard of an Earl Grey latte before. Maybe I'm just getting old and my go-to drink has aged out. Not a great start to my Friday morning. The people at the counter are exceptionally nice and helpful. The atmosphere is almost good. They play nice indie music but the speakers are awful and it creates a very unpleasant atmosphere to sit in.

17/07/2026: Very yummy vegan sandwich and very nice people working here!

26/07/2026: Went there for dinner. Expected to get a great meal, but unfortunately the lack of professionalism from the staff destroyed the experience. We ordered a prawn ratatouille, crispy baby potatoes and a salad. No problem with the salad; however, they brought me two separate dishes instead of a prawn ratatouille, as the chef forgot that it was prawn ratatouille and not the plain one. Also, the potatoes came BURNED. They didn’t charge for the extra prawns on the side, but it wasn’t the dish I ordered; that made me enjoy it less. I would expect greater service in such a known restaurant. Also, the knives on the table were dirty; it was absolutely disgusting.

05/04/2026: Beautiful surroundings but was very annoyed to realise I had spent €26 on 2 margarita cocktails only to realise they were a premade shop bought mix and not made fresh at the bar. I can buy the same bottle myself for 20 euro. Complete rip off and deception to your clientele
