The best restaurants in Cork city council

01/08/2026: Food was 10/10. We had the double smash bacon burger with the garlic Parmesan fries, and everything was absolutely delicious. The burgers were full of flavour, the fries were unreal, and the quality was excellent. What really stood out, though, was how kind the staff were. They made our toddler feel so welcome, and their kindness genuinely made our visit even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Cork. Highly recommend!

31/07/2026: Absolutely awful they gave me a burger with no sauce and no cheese fries cold never again

03/09/2026: Cozy pub with a small brewery that you can visit

01/09/2026: The girl was lovely, but the matcha tasted like green white chocolate; apparently, the coffee was fine. Don't order the matcha.

21/08/2026: Nice little coffee shop on the corner. I had one of the best cups of coffee I've had in a long time. I didn't have food but it looked very good. Only a few people sat in as only a few seats. Not a laptop doing your work coffee shop. More a people talk to people coffee shop. How unusual I know! I think this place has got it just right. Not to commercial but a nice welcoming vibe.

16/08/2026: Ish the server in Douglas village is really excellent. Food choice for sandwiches could be better.

08/09/2026: We came to Barry's to celebrate our 40th anniversary. It was so memorable. The manager, Matre`D ,,Chef and his assistant were amazing. The Matre D reserved us a secluded quiet table and offered spectacular service. I had requested my wife's favourite soup ahead and it was made impeccably. The entrees were wonderful and the Best you could find anywhere. The manager offered very knowledgeable information for a choice from their extensive whiskey and cordial selection. This and the scrumptious desserts made for a 15 out of 10 celebration for our evening.
