The best restaurants in Cork city council

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😊

14/12/2025: Wow, a real french bakery in Cork. So tasty, and various choice of delishes.

27/11/2025: It was just okay for what I ordered, but there were other things that looked good, it was on my way, I might go back tomorrow and improve the review and the experience.

03/01/2026: It's OK it's very spicy and spice bag was very dry and it's a rip off not worth the money but good people spice bag is sometimes nice🥰

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

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.

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.

25/10/2025: Coffee was nice to be fair ,but the staff are horrid ! I bought 2 capuchinos and one latte from the cafe Marius .As I was drinking my coffee me and my mother pulled out a muffin we had from earlier (to match to me coffee I just bought ) I got screamed at by the staff that it’s not allowed to bring personal food even tho I bought 3 coffees from them just 2 mins earlier.Disgusting attitude

05/06/2025: Had the beef stew cooked to perfection reasonably priced will be back

11/12/2025: Great facilities and excellent staff, Food is always great and a pleasure to visit. Spotlessly clean

11/12/2025: I have been here twice since the renovations and both times they got my order wrong,i wont be back

04/01/2026: Nice big location, plenty seating and good choice of pizza and drinks (and non pizza items too)

29/12/2025: This place sucked. Absolutely the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced didn’t even get a foot into the door before the hostess was outright rude. Couldn’t even bother to give us a wait time. Never ever go there unless you wanna be treated terribly.

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

11/09/2025: An excellent option for those looking for good food. Great service, highly recommended. Pleasant and very clean environment.

07/09/2025: I’ve been to Golden Bites today, the new shop on Washington Street, with my young son. We were warmly welcomed, and the atmosphere was very pleasant and aesthetically nice. However, I do have some concerns. When placing my order, I made it very clear that my cappuccino should be made with oat milk (for health reasons I cannot consume dairy). Unfortunately, I received a cappuccino with regular milk. I didn’t complain at the time because I’m not the type of person who likes to create conflict at an establishment, but I mentioned twice at the counter that it should be with oat milk. Another point: I’m not sure if I was charged for two portions of grilled buttered bread since I received four slices, but I only ordered one portion, which I believe should be two slices. I also wasn’t given a receipt, so I couldn’t verify the charge. Once again, the environment is very pleasant, and the staff was kind and attentive. However, we have already experienced issues with delivery orders in the past — missing items, wrong orders, etc. I expected that visiting in person would be different, but unfortunately, the same kind of issues happened. This makes it a little difficult to want to return. I truly hope this is just something temporary due to the new location

06/09/2025: A small Chinese takeaway that's been in business for quite some time sends a lot of food to the North Side; some customers like it, others don't, but that's the case everywhere. I tried it and liked it; hit the spot: beef in black pepper sauce. The beef was good, and all the other sides were like fried rice.

26/09/2025: We've gone to Soba in Blackpool regularly since we moved to the area four years ago, and we've never once had a bad experience. The food is top value for money and always consistent, which makes all the difference in the world to my partner, who is on the spectrum. The atmosphere is relaxed yet elegant and professional. And the staff are just wonderful. Sincere, mindful, on the ball. Our four year old insists on coming with me when we pick up food - or sit in - to say hi to Andy and his fellow staff, to pet the wobbling cat ornament on the counter, and no doubt, because I can't remember the last time he didn't walk out of there with a complimentary lollipop or hand full of candy. Fabulous restaurant in every way.

25/08/2025: Terrible experience. This was my fourth visit to the place and I have to say today was the last one.We went for lunch today and we found the entire staff sitting and eating.The man who took our order was constantly getting up to bring drinks and food and then sitting down to eat again.While he was takin our order he was very impatient. This is very unprofessional.We got the wrong drinks order. Looking at him eating we didn't even bother complaining. I work in the restaurant for more than 20 years and I really understand the restaurant dynamic and that the staff needs to eat but paying customer shouldn't be involved in the process.

05/11/2025: Externally friendly staff. Nice to have a chat and a laugh with. Great tasting coffee and yummy treats. Thanks guys! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

11/10/2025: there is one guy that works there and holds the whole place up. He's been there for a long time now and I've seen him be the only consistent face there in the last three years. he is absolutely lovely and can't do enough for you , that's only reason you get a second star. for him alone. unfortunately , He wasn't there today when I went instead two employees with their back turned to me completely ignoring me when I asked for something for my order it was a no no sorry we don't have it and no didn't bother to look just NO! I love my other Starbucks this one is trash. the rude guy there today ... just NO

02/12/2025: Visited Dinky Donuts last week and ordered a crepe with lemon and sugar. I wasn't greeted politely and the woman with the shaved head working there, she barely even looked at me. Then I watched her make the crepe without gloves?? And she had her finger at the top of the lemon juice bottle, which to me personally is pretty disgusting. Having all my food handled by someone without gloves honestly made me more sick than hungry, so I didn't even end up eating the crepe unfortunately. I think this is strange because a few weeks before a lovely staff member made time and effort to greet me and was wearing gloves whilst handling everyone's food despite how busy it was, and my order came out delicious. This time it just felt lazy and rushed, and also there was a very big lack of health and safety :/

08/11/2025: Maybe it is our fault for trying crêpes from a doughnut shop, but the crêpes had barely any toppings on them. We ordered lemon and sugar and there were so little toppings that it was like we were eating plain crêpes. I will say I have previously had the doughnuts and they are very generous with the toppings. Just wish that the crêpes were the same for €6.50.

11/01/2026: We ordered 5 pizzas at 20:50 with a delivery time of 21:40. This time came and went. When we called they said they were on the way however 10 mins later they called and said they’d be leaving soon (clearly our order had been forgotten about and they were only making them!). They arrived finally at 22:30, nearly 2 hours after we ordered. While the food was nice, the service was so poor. If a mistake was made just admit it. We spent nearly €100 and only received the most transactional apology. Will never return. La Tana used to be a special treat - so disappointing.

26/11/2025: food is good, but we waited 2 and a half hours for food to be delivered.
