The best restaurants in Cork city council

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.

26/10/2025: Eat here yesterday Clean, fast, tasty, lovely helpful staff.

06/10/2025: We tired chicken buns and pitas. Absolutely tasty. Their waffle fries and peri fries are super tasty too. Additionally, their falafels are very delicious

03/11/2025: Food is excellent and the staff are wonderful! Highly recommend

26/10/2025: Great food but not taking orders on person at 20:49 on a Monday, and the closed sign is up on the restaurant. Please update your opening hours

07/04/2025: Called in for quiet casual drinks. Very unfriendly team. We both said hello. Non verbal back. Not even a smile. Thankfully no food served here. Toilets disgraceful, filty. Toilet roll dispensers and hand soaps dispensers all opened and hanging down. 3 toilets filthy. 1 toilet sanitary bucket on top of lid with a stand on floor as not to go in. Loose taps. Hand drys blowing cold hair. Very run down place.

29/11/2024: Como local siempre me ha gustado este lugar, pero tengo que decir que ha cambiado completamente en el último año. Si bien las pintas son un € 5 que es genial, la calidad de las instalaciones no es grande. La falta de mantenimiento parece ser el mayor problema, especialmente en los baños femeninos. Es una lástima ya que podría ser un establecimiento fantástico para todos.

29/10/2025: I'm heavily pregnant and needed the bathroom as it was urgent I only had enough money to get my bus back home and was denied use of bathroom unless I bought something. I explained my situation but was refused I will definitely not be going to this coffee shop in future for anything anymore.

25/09/2025: Easily the most expensive yet watered down matcha on the market today. Believe I spent €7 on a normal serving? Staff were friendly but half of the matcha options were unavailable so got stuck with white chocolate. It genuinely tasted atrocious and I have not had matcha since.

10/02/2025: I love that pub I was there yesterday and I will try and get a sauna there with my friend and meditation too

06/01/2025: Unusual spot in Cork with bar, sauna, ice bath, yoga... very friendly staff

03/12/2025: The food is good, it is the same than the takeaway but way more expensive. I was expecting an extra price for the location and the comfort to eat at the table, but I think the prices do not match with what is offered. I like the food but I will keep going to the takeaway

28/11/2025: pure class on every visit. super tasty and unique starters and dishes to share from the specials board and some of the finest soba noodles you can find anywhere. highly recommend!!

27/06/2025: I was very happy to see the old men perform. There is a lot of space inside to enjoy the wine and music!

23/04/2025: Very well known pub, I have been a few times for a couple pints of Murphy’s and I was delighted myself, is a pub with his own loyal customers and every week with live music I always remember this pub here in cork and looks like is a pub to be here for many years to come I hope so.

10/01/2025: Nice noisy place for weekends nights.

28/12/2024: I love this village, they have everything you need and more!

13/09/2025: As an italian person this isn't a real pizza. We bought 3 medium pizza and some ingredients were missing. We paid too much.

19/08/2025: The food is great. I can't say much about atmosphere cause I get delivery but they redid the place recently so I assume it's nice

14/10/2025: The sushi is usually nice. The ramen is so bad. Sorry I hate saying it as the staff are really nice but no way would I return for the Ramen

28/09/2025: I ordered the pork and miso ramen, food was great and staff was lovely. I’ll be definitely coming back soon!

10/08/2025: The nicest chips by far I've ever had from a chipper.

15/07/2025: Chicken fillet burger was excellent but chips I found were not great

24/09/2025: Good place to have coffee Nice interior

20/09/2025: This is the best chain coffee shop in Cork, with excellent service and friendly staff.

05/07/2025: BLT on sourdough is a thing of beauty.

13/03/2025: The service was incredibly pleasant. All the staff were very friendly and it really added to the nice atmosphere! I got the wrap of the day (teriyaki chicken wrap) and I devoured it. It was absolutely delicious. Would definitely come here again! 10/10
