The best restaurants in Cork city council

18/07/2026: Amazing atmosphere and live music was really special on the Thursday night. Definitely recommend.

17/04/2026: Fantastic evening, super music session and crazy pints. Old school hospitality and so welcoming. My first visit but definitely not my last.

22/07/2026: Lovely store, without a doubt Corks best selection of beans. Saturday isnt the same without a trip to Mahers!

05/06/2026: We order the hazelnut coffee regularly and have done for years. Everyone compliments our coffee when they come to our house. We've tried several of their coffees which are all great but we always come back to the hazelnut. Have to finally leave a review when I got a shipping notice today 30minutes after I ordered. We always visit the shop when we're down in Cork and the smell of freshly roasted beans is divine. We've already recommended this place to all our friends.

24/07/2026: This place was absolutely amazing. The sushi was perfect. The tempura was fabulous. The atmosphere was just right. The were very busy so I would have liked to have gotten some dessert but despite trying to catch their attention a couple of times nobody stopped to take my dessert order, and eventually I just paid and left.

17/07/2026: Great place. A cozy nook on the busy Oliver Plunkett Street, dishing out some great flavours. Loved the dishes I tried. Team Wabi Sabi you guys are doing great. This itself tells the story, I missed to take photographs as I just couldn't hold back and immersed myself.

09/09/2026: All three courses are sooooo gooood

06/09/2026: The restaurant is in a beautiful location in blackrock observatory on the cork harbour. It is a 15min taxi which is between 15 to 25 euro each way. The staff are wonderful very friendly and accommodating. Getting the steak and lamb cooked a little more to my dad's and aunt's liking. The food is amazing. We all got different starters, mains and desserts and everything down to the sides that accompany them were well taught out. The restaurant was quiet busy but the atmosphere and service were 5 star the whole night long. We will definitely be going again for another special night out.

16/05/2026: Great spot. Lovely coffee and food. Staff friendly and helpful

30/08/2026: For many years we have frequented here. Absolutely great summer place for us. I am sure the winters are good too. The seafood is amazing and is great value.

17/08/2026: No food here and no phone too be used in the bar a very pleasant girl behind the bar

16/08/2026: ironic that the bar that doesn't allow phones has an AI generated cocktail menu out front

10/07/2026: Great pint of Beamish and friendly service!!

06/09/2026: Spent a lovely afternoon trying various wines and chatting with the bartenders, especially Chuck. He was very helpful with some suggestions about other areas to visit in Ireland. Had a delightful time and some great wines.

26/08/2026: Had a lovely evening here: reasonably priced wine, nice food. Less dinner/tapas and more picky bits/snacks but staff were very friendly and helpful.

23/04/2026: I liked the atmosphere, the museum itself is small, but interesting and there are lots of interesting staff at the gift shop. The Cafe on the first floor was really tasty.

21/04/2026: Small museum/gallery, but very beautiful; the park setting, the building, and the different exhibitions make it very interesting.

08/09/2026: Food was excellent and the staff was really nice!!

04/09/2026: My fav spot for dinner in cork. Amazing food, nice atmosphere and lovely service.

17/08/2026: Went this morning and got served by a guy who just came back to work after being away for a few months. Coffee shop was empty we were the only clients. I asked if he could make my flat white in the purple mug and he replied “you either take the mug I put it in or you don’t get your coffee at all”. Sassy! 😵‍💫 Thought we were in the land of rainbows and leprechauns. His latte art was fire but he could work on his customer service because I wouldn’t go back.

11/08/2026: Even though the location of the coffee shop might scare you away at first, it's definitely worth a visit. The barista was super friendly and the prices for coffee were reasonable. The coffee was great, the matcha was fine and the pastry we had was very nice.
