The best restaurants in Cork city council

10/10/2026: As an Italian living in Ireland, and someone who isn’t even vegetarian, discovering Sunflour felt like finding a little piece of home in the most unexpected place. 🇮🇹🌿 It’s a beautiful reinterpretation of Italian cuisine, where familiar flavours meet a new perspective. Almost like returning home after a long journey, but with a little more maturity: rediscovering the simplicity, warmth and soul of Italian food through a different lens. Every dish feels thoughtful, authentic and full of character. But what makes this place truly special is not just the food. The two owners are incredibly welcoming, kind and genuine, making you feel at home from the moment you walk in. Sunflour is more than a place to eat; it’s a little reminder that sometimes, even far from home, you can find a taste of where you come from and discover it all over again.

10/10/2026: I was really looking forward to eating here as it’s one of the most recommended places I’ve heard of. However, everything was on the sweet and acidic end. The two pasta dishes we got were also slightly underwhelming. Really great concept though!

30/09/2026: Exceptional service- very kind staff. The specialty donuts, like the apple crumble, I find better than many of the desserts you'd typically get at the restaurants around here. They are always fresh, the textures work well with each other and the flavors are amazing. Sweet but not too sweet, allowing the other ingredients to shine through as well. I seriously think you could put some of these donuts on a restaurant's dessert menu and it would get compliments. The bathroom is clean as well!

16/09/2026: Warm friendly staff. Excellent latte. Excellent oreo donut. Limited seating.

21/09/2026: Things have changed unfortunately The cocktails we recieved had u huge singular ice cube which took up 90 percent of the glass so the drink was equivalent to a shot.Got the cheese board also ,it was anothing compared to what it used to be the quantity was a third the size it was last year but still the same price..Staff are great and very helpful, its always been a beautiful bar but I don't think I will get food or cocktails there again.

01/10/2026: It’s a drive through place for very good coffee. The kinder hot chocolate is very good!

07/07/2026: I often visit Box'D Drive Through Coffee shop. The team members are friendly, fast, and fabulous. The coffee is great. I like having a flat white or iced coffee with coconut milk. My girlfriend loves the matcha with oat milk. We often sit outside in their outdoor cabins. The cabins are wonderful for small groups or when it's slightly rainy. There is plenty of parking nearby. The location is lovely.
