The best restaurants in Cork city council

21/09/2025: Very unwelcoming staff. Food was sad and miserable. My pork roast was completely dried out, the rest of the food wasn't much better.

27/08/2025: Ate lunch here before flying out of Cork airport. We both ordered burgers. I noticed how quickly they came out and how fast other tables got their food too. I worked in hotels myself for years and that is not necessarily a good sign. The burgers themselves were ok but they seemed somewhat ready made. We both had upset stomachs by the evening time. I do not recommend. The staff and service were excellent. I can’t give more than 1 star because of the food issue.

28/08/2025: Great food ! Very friendly and helpful staff!

10/08/2025: Very disappointed non delivery of food ordered spent €50 euros and no satisfaction no refund would not recommend

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

06/11/2025: Good food and good portion sizes - vegan and vegetarian options are good

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.

11/09/2025: The room was large, the beds comfortable, but the ceiling is peeling, there is mold above the shower and several areas of the floor where we felt like we were going to fall through. The staff were very welcoming, they stored our luggage for the day. There is a bar on the ground floor but we were not bothered by the noise at all. The hotel is located directly opposite the train station, with the city bus and city tour bus stop right outside the door.

08/07/2025: Great place to go for a drink friendly owners and staff plenty of space there

08/07/2025: Over for the Celtic/Cork City bar and it's way too far out making a bit of a trek. Ok.

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

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.

26/11/2025: Great breakfast! Waffles were AMAZING! Staff is super friendly!

17/01/2025: Had a Irish ham, salad sandwich , which was fine and tasty. Also choose a spiced apple slice, equally as fine and tasty!

14/01/2025: We mentioned this bakery, in the ratings for the park. Really nice food and drink, it's just a shame we don't live closer, so we can go every weekend.

27/07/2025: Excellent. One of the hotel mistakes of the trip.

24/07/2025: I recently stayed at this hotel, and I have to say, the staff was a major letdown. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was bothering them. The front desk staff (Martha) seemed uninterested and gave off the vibe that they'd rather be anywhere else. Throughout my stay, I encountered similar attitudes from other staff members. Requests were met with delays, and it felt like pulling teeth to get any kind of assistance. It's a shame because the hotel itself had potential, but the poor service really dragged down the whole experience. I won't be returning, and I'd advise others to consider other options where the staff actually cares about their guests. We had tried to complain to the manager Joe about the attitude of his staff, he told us “customers like you are not worth being customers”.

23/11/2025: Very disappointing experience. Unprofessional attitude from staff member, making unnecessary smart comments

03/10/2025: Worst customer service. They close at 9pm but they deny the entry even at 8:15pm.

30/08/2025: The food is good, but nothing special. The staff is busy running around, but they don't seem to notice that you're interested in ordering. The value for money is just about adequate.

26/07/2025: Excellent food, priced accordingly, but one complaint… ordered the rack of lamb and very good but too many sauces and mixed flavours. For example, artichoke sauce, ratatouille, pesto, gratin potatoes and gravy. So too many. Excellent service, and attentive.

26/11/2025: Two Sausage behind the till shouting at me and my pregnant missus that they're closing at 8:55 when they close at 9:30. If he spoke to me like that and she wasn't present there would have been a different reaction. If you don't like your job quit ye weird individuals. Pathetic.

15/10/2025: Even when it's busy (and it can be quite busy), the staff always take the time to fill the burrito to a high standard. Also, they are always friendly and at times I can see they're under pressure but they are very patient and friendly with kids. My 5 year old loves it, and he only wants burritos from Zambrero so I put that down to the friendly atmosphere the staff create. Also, I never had an issue with the food, they're generous with the fillings and we do leave full and satisfied and as my son says...."it's Delicious".

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.
