The best restaurants in Cork city council

29/06/2025: We just called in for a quick drink. It is quite large and spacious, no problem getting a seat. We didn't have food so I can't comment on that. Really nice place.

08/06/2025: Disappointing customer service.. We attended a charity event at the Castle tonight and had a fantastic time overall—the band and food truck were excellent. Unfortunately, our experience was soured by poor service at the cocktail bar. I had to call the owner, Ronan, to get a bartender to attend to us. We ordered six Pornstar Martinis (€78 total), but when they arrived, they were undrinkable. When we raised this with the bartender, she simply said, “That’s how we serve them.” I spent 30 minutes trying to find Ronan again and was eventually told he was likely in his office. When I finally spoke with him and showed him the untouched drinks, he asked, “What do you want?” I asked for a refund since we couldn’t drink them. His response? “Get your refund and get out.” After such a lovely evening, I left feeling shocked and disappointed by Ronan’s rude and dismissive attitude. When my partner confronted him about his behaviour toward me, Ronan didnt speak to him like he did with me .It’s hard not to feel that he reacted this way simply because I’m a woman challenging him on poor service. Ronan, your response was unprofessional and unacceptable. I expected better.

21/06/2025: Came in for a drink tonight and was met with arrogance from barmaid she was not polite to us but was very friendly to her regulars

04/06/2025: Cosy pub with friendly service, good beer selection. I only had a drink here.

11/04/2025: Nice big open bar, plenty entertainment with pool darts and rings

09/02/2025: Let’s just say it’s my idea of hell.

07/07/2025: Staff were grand but I asked for a matcha to go and was charged a euro extra than what was on the menu. They should say why they charge extra anyways the matcha is just sweet green milk. For 7.25€ i expected a really good matcha but instead I was really disappointed. Womp. Don’t get the matcha

05/07/2025: Great matcha with unsweetened option. I was so happy to find this place. Hubby had a cappuccino and also enjoyed it

07/07/2025: I didn’t catch his name but whoever was working Saturday 5th you did amazing. Was trying to stall my aunty from going to her surprise party and he was a major part in that. Thanks so much. The dessert was delish x

27/06/2025: Good knowledge re gluten free and cross contamination

13/02/2025: It went from 4 stars to 1 star! I went here on December 19, 2024, on my birthday as a treat with my friends, and my experience was terrible! I got a burger with cheese and onions and 7up, and it all came to €14, and after I ate here, and had cake with my friends, and went for a rest, I woke up vomiting after 2 hours and 9 minutes! The time it happened was from 15:56-16:04, and I felt sick that I had to cancel my visit to my friend's birthday on December 20th! The food was really bad, the fries were not bad, and the 7up was average. This was the worst experience I ever had, €14 gone after getting sick after having fun from 2 hours and 9 minutes! That's the last time I visit here, and I will not eat here anymore, I gave it 4 stars, but now it's 1 star! I'll avoid eating here for now on, and I will have burgers in McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, and more! Won't eat here again, unfortunately! 👎👎

10/02/2025: great service and great burger!

18/05/2025: The worst caramel Frappuccino. money thrown away

30/01/2025: The barista chatted to the customer in front of me about her nails for a good 10 minutes rather than serving the other waiting customers. I won't be coming back.

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

11/06/2025: Nice place and could be 5 stars But price for Hawaian breast in bun is mad . 9 euros you pay for extra mini slice of pineapple and skiny slice of bacon. It's not right. Bun is not bigger than a standard breast in bun . Jaw drop on the floor. A way too expensive. And if you want meal add 4.5 extra 😳

14/05/2025: Went in last Sunday early evening to get chicken. To be told they only had breast in a bun and if we wanted Chicken pieces ( in a fried chicken shop) it would take 20 minutes

04/07/2025: The food was delicious! The duck and cod fish dishes were incredible! The service could be improved as the waitress seems a bit impatient without a reason.

22/06/2025: Was the worst restaurant we went to in cork, food was not great chewy pork, slimy tofu, duck thin sloppy not fresh tasting. Baked cheese cake did not resemble a cheese cake and panna cotta tasted of fish very disappointed would never go again

20/03/2025: by far my favorite take away,out of four take aways in an area where old people go to die,like salmon,there's usually Mammy's and Granny's that force feed,yet all do well,each has its own niche,but Papas is run by the sweetest people,the food is amazing,I went in to drop off sweets last night,it's nice to be nice,the Chef asked me why I hadn't ordered my food for a while,it's been a few months,I'm renovating my house,I wouldn't eat at my place at the moment...he knew what I ordered,so getting the fantastic Italian Inferno pizza later,I'll sit on the wall,I couldn't recommend more.

21/01/2025: Dinner box was mostly bones , very little chicken 🍗 Chips were practically raw Absolutely vile 🤢🤮 🛑 Never again!!! 🛑

04/05/2025: Service - We didn't know that the store closes at 6 pm(we don't come here often) went in with a baby, sat the baby down. Ordered 3 Toasties and 2 flat whites. Lady at the till never once mentioned that they're closing in 10 minutes, instead just gave us everything in takeaway bags. It was only after we complained, that the supervisor asked us to take our time. Food - Flat whites were extremely watered down. Tasted like it was sitting out for the whole day. Toasties didn't agree with us. Let's just say it was a marathon to and from the toilet the whole night. Please improve your quality.

16/03/2025: Every single time without fail, when I order for collect they get it wrong. Returned my drinks multiple times because they make it with whole milk when I’m allergic to dairy and asked for oat.

08/07/2025: JJ Walshs pub nothing to write home about we went in for a few pints of Guinness as usual pints just ok but €6.20 was the most expensive pint we came across in Cork infact the dearest in lreland and we have been to many.Not much of an atmosphere few bits and pieces in Michael Collins all and all would not be rushing back.

15/06/2025: A wide variety of beers and other drinks. We sought it out for the live music, and it didn't disappoint. We'll definitely be back.

20/06/2025: Wonderful ambience, good Chinese food in a very accessible location. Try something from their Chef's Specials!!

31/05/2025: Worst Chinese food I’ve had in years, shredded chilli chicken is see through/grey and hardly none of it - chips felt like they were hours old and hollow
